Lush setting, minutes to downtown Colorado Springs

Very friendly and accommodating hosts, and you can’t beat coming home to a beautiful house in a beautiful neighborhood! They have one of the best lots in CO Springs.

What a fantastic stay. Great hosts. Great locations. It was nice to sit outside under the canopy after a long day of adventures. Very relaxing. Seen 2 small herds of deer, 9 wild turkeys and a bear. Wonderful experience we hated to leave.

The neighborhood is beautiful with views of Cheyenne Mountain and backyard nature. We saw lots of turkeys and several deer in the backyard and through the neighborhood. Everything was clean and comfortable with lots of games and movies if you want to stay inside, and beautiful outdoor spaces if you want to be outside. The hosts were very hospitable!

Everything was great! Communication with host was great.

We had the absolute best stay! The host is so easy to talk to and went out of her way to make sure we had the best time. The property is beautiful, was very clean, and in a beautiful area. We definitely plan on staying here again! 10/10 would recommend.

What a wonderful experience! The hosts were awesome, the location was so beautiful and the wildlife we saw every day was exciting! This is should be on your list for places to stay if coming to the Colorado Springs area - so close to everything!

We had such a wonderful stay at Black Bear Chateau. The setting is peaceful and surrounded by trees, yet still just a short drive to everything in Colorado Springs. We loved seeing deer, turkeys, and rabbits visit the property—it made the mornings and evenings especially relaxing.The guesthouse is rustic, very clean, and cozy—just right for a mountain getaway. It’s a two-story walk down to the Chateau, but since we came to hike and explore the area, we didn’t mind at all. The kitchen setup is unique: there’s no traditional oven or stovetop, but the Ninja Foodi and outdoor gas grill worked perfectly for us. We enjoyed making bacon and eggs each morning in the Foodi and grilling outside every evening. Relaxing on the covered patio after a day out was another highlight.Mary Louise is an excellent hostess. The handwritten card and snacks waiting for us when we arrived were so thoughtful, and she was always kind and responsive.Overall, this was the perfect home base for our trip, and we’d be happy to stay here again on our next visit to Colorado Springs.

Beautiful property with frequent sightings of animals like deer, turkey, squirrels near the door step. Animal food was provided as part of the stay, this was the first time my kid fed the deers and she was so excited about it. We enjoyed our stay here and the owners were very accommodating.

Super nice place, beautiful location and just as beautiful of a host - so friendly, thoughtful and welcoming! All the comforts you need on a trip, as well as some special features that just made this chateau unique. We even encountered some baby turkey and got to feed some friendly deer! Highly recommend!

Our stay here was perfect. Black Bear Chateau had everything we needed. This is the basement of the host's lovely home and is beautiful, cozy and comfortable. Mary Louise was a wonderful host. We were welcomed with a tray of snacks, bags of treats to give the local critters, notebooks with with information about the place, local attractions and places to eat. We greatly appreciated the extra things that made our stay so pleasant. I highly recommend this place and hope that we can return one day.

We've been coming to CoSprings for about 4 years now to visit my daughter. We had been staying at another property but it wasn't available this year. We chose Black Bear Chateau and we can tell you for certain this is our new place in CS. Mary Louise and Rick were amazing hosts. The location of the home at the base of the Cheyenne Mts was exactly what we love and the amount of wildlife around their place was so fun to enjoy (even a brief black bear sighting the first night). Within minutes of the Broadmoor, downtown area, Manitou and other great locations. IT'S PERFECT!

My family returned to stay at this property for our second year in a row. When we pulled in it felt like just yesterday that we had left and returned home from last year’s family vacation. The place was as clean as ever and we could tell the owners had done little things to keep the place fresh. Our little girls got to watch and interact with the deer, turkeys, and other forest animals in the yard. Amazing neighborhood, amazing hosts, and an amazing place to make memories that last a lifetime. Thanks Mary Louise and family for another great year at the Black Bear Chateau!!

Enjoyed our stay with the wildlife in the back. So peaceful and relaxing. Great location near Colorado Springs and very close to restaurants.

I cannot express enough what a wonder week we had in Colorado Springs. The property was absolutely gorgeous. We were greeted on our arrival by a pack of turkeys roaming the front yard. We were even more pleasantly surprised by 4 deer cooling off in the shade in the backyard mere feet from the entrance to our home for the week. The check-in process was easy and instructions were thorough. The space is wide open and sprawling in the main area. The master bedroom was perfect for me and my wife. My son slept on the pullout couch. The daybed was comfortable to him but he liked the size of the couch better. The kitchen was extremely handy for snacks and lunch-like meals. The view from the backyard really is gorgeous. The location was perfect for our adventures. Pikes peak, white water rafting and a run up to Denver were all east drives. My wife and I agreed we had the best week of our lives with our 19 yo son. After 30 years together that is saying something. We would recommend this property and our hosts to anyone and everyone. The host family was exceedingly kind and gracious and the pictures of the property, while beautiful, actually fall short of what and amazing home it is. Thanks again for a wonderful place to stay. We hope to be able to do it again soon.

Highly recommended property with a top tier host in the Colorado Springs area. Property was very clean and extremely roomful. The property had some excellent views of the Springs area and also hosted local deer each afternoon. An amazing stay for sure.

I had the pleasure of spending the Christmas holidays at Black Bear Chateu in Colorado Springs. The home was beautiful and my host, Mary Louise, had decorated my home with Christmas lights and decorations which made me feel right at home. The property has everything you could ask for including bedroom, kitchen, televisions in the living room and bedroom and deer and turkeys that visited every morning. There are also many games and books plus a foosball table to keep the youngsters entertained. This is the premier location in Colorado Springs as it was in the mountains but only 10 minutes from the Broadmoor Resort and the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo and 15 minutes from North Cheyenne Canyon and Garden of the Gods. Our daughters and grandchildren live in Colorado Springs, and I hope to stay at this home whenever I go out to visit. Many thanks to Mary Louise for brightening my holidays and making the trip perfect..

very friendly, safe neighborhood. Got to see lots of wildlife, the deer were right there in the back yard in the mornings. enough kitchenette to prepare our own food, but close enough to go out too. Host left a nice note and some snacks for us and the wildlife, very good experience

Very private and relaxing! Beautiful get away!

We had a wonderful stay, the Black Bear Chatteau. Colorado Springs was beyond what I thought it was going to be. Our host Mary Louise was such a lovely and kind woman. We were very pleased and I would highly recommend anyone to stay at this beautiful property.

Clean. Neat. Looked just like the pictures. 30 railroad tie steps from where the car is parked to get to the door of the VRBO. A bit difficult to navigate with luggage. Picture of the steps NOT included

This property is amazing and Mary the host was so attentive to all our needs. We had a late arrival on check in day and Mary left lights on and didnt rest easy until we were in unit. Unit was very clean and decorated for fall which was very charming. Very close to Fort Carson if visiting family. All the wildlife and trails are wonderful and will book again on our next trip to COS. knew we were in unit and a fCarso

Beautiful chateau with the kindest host! Would recommend 1000%!!! Really can't believe we found such an amazing place to stay!!

Our family of four thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Black Bear Chateau! There was wildlife out the back door every morning and evening. Our little girls (5&7) wanted to walk around the trails in the back yard every chance they could get. The neighborhood is safe and quiet while still being conveniently located to some of Colorado Springs best attractions. Make sure to read the description of the listing to ensure it fits your family’s needs. My wife and I had never stayed in a VRBO connected to someone’s home but this was not at all an issue. The rental is the whole bottom floor. It’s very quiet and private. The host family is extra respectful of guests. They do a great job of running the vacation rental and you can tell they have put in the effort to make the place unique and special. There are lots of toys and games for kids of all ages included. Don’t worry if your kiddos leave theirs back at home. For the value this place is really hard to beat! The next time we schedule a trip to the area this will be the first place we check for availability👍

Would recommend this property to anyone. Quiet and clean, with a beautiful deer there to greet us when we arrived. Great view from backyard. Mary Louise absolutely went above and beyond to accommodate us, she is a wonderful host. The space is private and close to everything we wanted to do. I would def stay here again!

We loved our stay. There was more than enough room for my family of four, and the kids loved to be able to walk around the property and be one with nature. I don't think we have ever been so close to wild deer as we were during the time we spent there. If we ever come back to Colorado Springs, we would definitely stay here again.
