Great location near the South Gate for Family weekend

While the home was plenty large enough for our group and the location was ideal for our son’s graduation from USAFA, the home is in need of repair throughout. The screen door was laying on the ground and many windows do not have screens so we could not open windows. The shower in the main bedroom leaks all over the floor and was a significant safety concern as there was a huge puddle after each shower. We were advised to just use extra bath mats to soak it up and to make sure the shower door was closed (there is no door installed). This water leaks down through the ceiling into the basement laundry room. Most rooms were dimly lit missing 1-2 light bulbs in each fixture and the basement lights in the family room were constantly blinking. Many of the faucets are in poor repair with the kitchen faucet very difficult to turn off. The stove does not heat well and has poorly working knobs and the pans provided are damaged/peeling and unsafe to cook in. The grass was easily 10-12 inches tall and the yard/patio have not been cared for at all. All of these concerns were brought to the homeowner who replied rudely with sarcasm and never followed through on any of the corrections that he said he would make. He did however thank me for my “white glove” inspection of the property…so very kind of him. VRBO assisted us in securing this home when our previous reservation was cancelled on us last minute. I would recommend booking elsewhere if at all possible.

The property was clean and had most necessities. Great for groups or large families but the rules were a little off putting. Great location for getting around Colorado Springs.

The house was clean and had enough room for our family when we arrived. Communication with the property manager was difficult. The original welcome message after booking said in part, If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out during office hours of 8am-8pm. You can call us at XXX-XXX-XXXX... After a couple text messages over 2 days that were not responded to I called the number a few times. After calling a few times (no voicemail setup on their phone) I finally received a response text that said, Please text only. Upon arrival at the house I found a surveillance camera over the front door. VRBO's policy says, Location and coverage of devices must be disclosed on the property description page. I double checked the listing after arrival and confirmed that at least at the time of this review the existence of the camera is not show on the property listing per the policy.

Big house that is very open and roomy for big groups.

Great location and lots of room.

We enjoyed the amount of space and central location to get places. There was only one kitchen towel so we had to buy towels. There was new detergent for dishwasher so had to buy that. Never did receive Hulu password to watch the tv. There was no propane or briquettes for the grill. The yard was very messy and able to be played in. There was an awful smell coming from the kitchen sink that we had to clean and buy febreze for.

Spacious and overall nice place. Would recommend some amenities be updated, especially for safety reasons such as the gas stove knobs not working correctly.

Very close to USAFA.

House is very well represented online and property manager is very helpful. House is very well located not far from attractions and shopping. Plenty of room for 10 adults and 5 children.
