We have a our family Thanksgiving at this VRBO which fit our needs perfectly. The house is set up for families with young children - lots of toys, books, games, foos ball table, pool table, outdoor pool & hot tub. There was something for everyone. In addition, the kitchen is a dream with everything someone would need to cook. It fit our family perfectly and we would recommend this home to anyone.
Spacious, well taken care of, centrally located. Wonderful, helpful hostess
The location of this house along with the amenities are amazing!! House is fully stocked with anything that you could need. You will not be able to beat the view from the backyard. We can’t thank Linne enough for being an amazing host and will always treasure the memories our family made this week in Colorado.
Wonderful! Everyone had a great time. There was plenty of room to cook, dine, do crafts, play foosball and pool. We went to a lot of places nearby in Colorado Springs and it was easy getting to them.
Enjoyed a week of family fun
This beautiful, cozy home is the perfect getaway- especially for big families and groups. The host, Linne, could not have been more accommodating, thoughtful, and communicative. You will have everything you need and want. Highly recommended
What a special getaway for our group of friends! The house is gorgeous and well stocked! The best part was how communicative and helpful the host is. We’ve rented a lot of homes over the years and hands down, this was the most helpful host. Many of us had late flights out on check out day and the host let us stay past check out since nobody was scheduled to check in the next day. She also gave us hiking recommendations and was available by phone and text anytime we needed her.
I have high expectations. This place exceeded them. Ideal for a large family.
Our stay was absolutely perfect here. The house is fully stocked with everything you could possibly need for a getaway & perfectly suited our needs. The views from the house are incredible & the beds are so, so comfortable. Linne was an excellent host; she was super responsive & helpful in providing recommendations for our trip. I would definitely rent a car if you're staying in this area as taxis/ubers/lyfts are incredibly hard to call/come by, but it's super easy to get to Garden of the Gods, Pikes Peak, downtown Colorado Springs, & more once you have a car. 10/10 would recommend this house to anyone looking for a CS getaway! I will definitely be coming back.
We came to Colorado for a destination wedding with a large group and this house suited all our needs. The game room area was perfect for the competitive folks in our group and we took advantage of the hot tub. Linne was always quick to respond and flexible with us checking in early and checking out later. We had issues with the dryer not working but Linne was aware of the problem and allowed us to use the other laundry room reserved for the cleaning crew. If ever back in this area with a large group, I will certainly check if this house is available.
We all had a great time . Linne, our host, was just phenomenal!
Great experience! Highly recommend!
Linne was a warm and gracious host! Easy to get in touch with and even purchased an air pump for pool floaties when I asked if they had one. The property looked like the pictures and we had a blast!! A wonderful option for multiple families with kids to enjoy a vacation together!!
Our family enjoyed all the amenities this home had to offer. Swimming, playing pool, good sized kitchen for meal preparation all in a beautiful setting. Host, Linne was very responsive.
Highly recommended! …’can’t beat this place for a week away with a large family l
Excellent hosts that were attentive to every detail. The home is beautiful and has generous amenities.
Great location. Quiet. Roomy house. Big fridge. Nice pool.
We rented this house planning for our daughters graduation and fun days by the pool.
