Hummingbird Guest Cottage on Black Forest Ranch

This little cottage was immaculate and silent, away from the road, with stunning sunrises across the meadow, complete with deer one morning. Mark was attentive. I can’t imagine any other amenity that would have improved my stay. I will definitely stay here again.

Lovely cottage in a lovely setting with everything we could possibly need. What more can I say?

We stayed at this property a handful of years ago. When we decided to visit Colorado Springs again this summer, we were excited to find the cottage was available. Mark and Angela are fabulous hosts and there added touches are much appreciated and highly valued.

We so enjoyed our stay. Comfortable and convenient for our visits to children and grandchildren in the CO Springs area. A respite at the end of the day to relax.

Plan was for Son & Granddaughter to stay with wife & I. I ended up being hospitalized with heart attack $ steak. Missed the whole week. Son, Daughter & 2 granddaughters stayed in our place. Between airfare, rental car & VRBO non-refundable we lost out on $3k. Family thoroughly enjoyed their stay. Probably never get another chance with our aging & increasing health issues we will never get to experience this wonderful property.

Beautiful property and a lovely updated clean and well decorated home. Very comfortable and had lots of utensils and other items in the kitchen so we could easily cook which we like to do. Adorable cafes around the corner, but a little removed from the city hub a bub which was really nice coming from orlando florida. Loved the peace and quiet. Had a deer come up to our glass door it was so beautiful. The main bedroom does get a bit hot in the morning, but it was a good way to wake up and not sleep too long. Lots of wonderful amenities and close to the sites like garden of the gods was only twenty minutes. Wish there was shade for the car to park under. We had been parking under a sliver of shade of a tree but the owners came home on our last day and drove a railroad spike so we couldn't do that anymore. I found that odd and unsettling. The trip was definitely more comfortable because they were away for most of it. Their home is directly across from the cottage so it was a bit weird after that feeling like they were watching us. There was nothing in front of the tree but dirt so there was no reason for that and it soured the end of our perfect trip a bit.

The Hummingbird Guest Cottage was perfect for the 3 of us for our 5 night stay while attending Parents Weekend at USAFA. The cottage was very clean, the beds were comfortable and the hosts, Mark & Angela were quick to respond to messages and very friendly. We enjoyed seeing deer and wild turkey on the property as well. Would stay there again!

Lovely place, with everything you could need. Hosts were gracious and responsive.

This was our second visit to The Hummingbird Cottage, we were able to stay for almost 5 weeks this time, obviously we love it! Very comfortable for us retirees, feels like a home away from home to us. The peacefulness of being half a mile away from a busy road & encroaching subdivisions was wonderful...traffic is very busy throughout most of the Colorado Springs area, and this is a true retreat in the Black Forest. The owners home and ceramics studio are the only other buildings by the cottage, and the owners are great folks! Very friendly and quick to respond to any contact we initiated with them. So many extra touches: basket of snacks, toiletries in bathrooms, flower garden & deck plants, spices & condiments, laundry & cleaning supplies, nightlights, reading material, super comfortable beds & pillows (lots of pillows!). We hope to stay here each time we visit this area.

The cottage felt like home the moment we walked in and the property is beautiful. We had mountains views and saw all kinds of birds and wildlife right outside our window every day! The property is very private and quiet. The hosts were amazing. They were very welcoming and they had everything we needed for our stay. From toiletries to luxury towels, kitchen essentials and a welcome basket, everything was perfect. We would 100% recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a getaway in Colorado Springs.

Charming, rustic cottage - close to town but felt we were deep in the country - very peaceful! Loved seeing the deer & hummingbirds on the property. Owners were very pleasant & easy to get along with. Great place to spend our down time while we were not attending wedding events or sightseeing.
