Downtown Lightning Lab - Foosball + Pet Friendly

nice house in a good location in a quiet neighborhood, liked the fully equipped kitchen.

Oh gosh, long post warning lol. The house was stunning. Loved the foosball table, many a games were had. Our daughters loved staying in the downstairs part. I’m a sucker for details so the labels and stickers of where you could find things (e.g. first aide, fire extinguisher) was speaking to my soul lol. Especially in the kitchen. My favorite was the face towels being black. So nice for women who wear makeup and wash their face at night. So close to literally everything you want to do. We only went to Denver because of something specific for our girls. Other than that, you can walk to dinner nightly if you want to. Very close to downtown. Also if you stay during the week, they have a small festival type thing on Thursdays. Again you can walk to it with no problem. I’m not athletic at all but had no problem with the distance. Can’t recommend this place enough!

The house is close to the garden of the Gods, the Air Force Academy, Downtown Colorado Spring, and the Monitou Spring. The house is comfortable and great views.

This property is in a great location to easily travel to the activities we planned in Colorado Springs. It is clean and well prepared to ensure our stay was easy. The Tesla electrical theme was neat. The host communicated very well and while we did not have any issues, I felt at ease that she would have handled them efficiently. We would definitely stay here again.

The house was very clean. Great location. Easy communication with the host. Enjoyed our stay!

VRBO and this host are the worst. Plus you can hear everything from outside on the top floor. Location is great, place is good. Would not recommend though. I would pick another place in the area.

We loved our stay at this house! The house was very clean and the host was very responsive and helpful. We would definitely stay here again.

views were great Garden of gods, Pikes Peak, Seven Falls, Royal Gorge, Cliff Dwellings, my Daughter and Granddaughter did the inline at Manitou they are awsome

The house was pristine and well appointed. Location was great for us going to Pikes Peak, Garden of the Gods and heading to the Royal Gorge. We loved the them and the incredible art work on the ceiling- you have to see it to appreciate it! The host was terrific and the communication was superb. Highly recommended.

This house was great for my family of 4. It was clean and had everything we needed to make a few meals and some extras that were super nice! The location was perfect for everything we wanted to do in Colorado Springs and Manitou Springs. Great communication from the host.

If you are looking for a place to stay in Colorado Springs, I would highly recommend Lightning Laboratory! Its in a great location (close to everything) and is thoughtfully laid out and decorated. My kids enjoyed foosball along with the games in the lounge and the St Patty's day scavenger hunt left by the host was an awesome touch! Although we brought the heat from Texas with us with temps in the 80's, the house stayed cool and comfortable. Get away and stay here if you want to go to Cheyanne Mountain Zoo, Garden of the Gods, Pikes Peak and/or Royal Gorge. It was amazing. Thanks!

The property was perfect for our family and exactly as pictured! The location is in a quiet neighborhood and close to many area attractions. The house was very well stocked with anything we needed. Our kids really enjoyed the basement area. We would definitely stay again!

The views from the neighborhood and the surrounding area are amazing. Plenty to do in the outdoors if you are interested. The USAFA and other attractions are 15 minutes or less from this cozy home. We lived our stay at this house and look forward to staying here again when we return. The host communicates graciously and constantly was available for any reason. Pleasure all the way around. Great stay!

Great place, great location, great host. Highly recommended!

Amazing place. Very clean and very well appointed. The location could not have been better. We will recommend to our friends for future visits.

The home had everything you could need, down to the first aid kit, ground coffee, and cubes to plug charging cords into. Everything was clean and well labeled. It has a cute blend of modern and retro style and in a great location for many of the places you'd want to visit. We personally love Monses, Sweet Elizabeths, the Archives, and the Rabbit Hole. Focus on the Family and Manitou Penny Arcade are both close for the kids too. We definitely plan to stay again.

This was the cleanest, most comfortable rental I've ever booked. The hosts were accommodating and kind and the location was fantastic. Nothing in the home felt like a cheap, flip house and all the amenities were really appreciated. I'll happily book this home again.

Excellent home! Kiddos loved the downstairs space and the foosball table. Great communication before & during our stay. Highly recommend.

We loved this stay. It had loads of amenities and when we had a light bulb burn out the host was quick to get someone out with a ladder to replace it. I would definitely stay in this location again!

Clean and quiet. Good communication. Would stay there again.

Everything was beautiful and super clean! The host was very attentive. Location was perfect for what we were looking to do in Colorado. I enjoyed that everything was labeled with notes if needed.

Excellent communication for the Host. Easy check-in process. The photos do not do it justice. We had a truly relaxing, enjoyable time. We were visiting the Family in Fountain, and this location was perfect for everything we had planned to do on this trip. We lacked for nothing. All the comforts of home. We felt right at home. We highly recommend the Lightning Laboratory when visiting Colorado Springs. The place is full of history, and the floor plan is well thought out. Beds are comfortable, super clean & the Kitchen has everything you need. Thank you so much, Michelle & Jacquie, for being excellent Hosts. My favorite home away from home thus far!

Foosball tournaments every evening, kids enjoyed the stay.

Clean and stocked house at a decent location in Colorado Springs. Good if you’re looking for small metro house and want to be in driving distance for tourist stuff.

Great location with all necessities covered. Would definitely recommend.

Home was very clean,nice neighborhood,sticked with some items you will need. They are very quick to respond when you txt them. Will definitely book again when i come back to colorado

Kitchen well stocked, very clean, easy access to everything we wanted to do

The house was amazing and communication was great!

We enjoyed our stay. It had everything we needed. Close proximity to everything.

Great accommodations; clean, comfortable, convenient.

This property is absolutely gorgeous and comfortable yet uniquely sleek and modern. Owners provide everything you will need for your stay. They are super accommodating and delightful to work with. The house is in an excellent and central neighborhood close to downtown fun, Manitou, Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, Broadmoor, Garden of the Gods, etc. This property is a must see, must stay!!! Thank you!!!

We loved this little house. It was super clean, the layout was great, fully stocked with everything we needed. Gave 4 stars only because there’s no central AC and the smaller units had trouble keeping up with the heat in June. Otherwise, nothing bad to say!

This was by far the cleanest house I’ve ever stayed in! There was plenty of hot water for showers. The kitchen was fully stopped with dishes. Check in and out was seamless.Excellent communication with the owner. My son and I loved the Tesla theme that was present throughout the house. Highly recommend.

It was very clean, fully stocked, comfortable, and located close to everything we wanted to visit! We loved the Tesla theme, the easy communication with the owner, and all of the extra little details to make our stay memorable!!

The house was perfect and the location couldn’t have been better. Host communicated very well and we had zero issues with our stay. Will definitely book again.

The house was great. The mountains and view Awesome! It was the city itself turned us off. Very busy, confusing roads, and not nice people.

The house was as advertised. It has a really fascinating electricity decor with a focus on Tesla, the man, not the car. Has a really nice layout with one bedroom on the upper floor and one in the basement. There is a living area in both. This makes it nice to be able to give the kids a place to play without all the adult interference and vice versa. We had a brief cold spell during our visit with 6 inches of snow. The house uses radiant heat which is a little odd when you're used to having air blow from vents. However, the house stayed warm both upstairs and in the basement area. The first day it was in the upper 70's and we turned on the portable air conditioner in the living room. Everything worked like a champ. It was also nice that there were plenty of instructions on how to operate various appliances and electronics in the house. Made life much simpler in the beginning. The house is within walking distance of several restaurants including The Western Omelette for breakfast and/or lunch along with a really tasty mac and cheese restaurant called Mactory Gourmet Mac & Cheese. The house is also very close to many of the local attractions though we did not leave the house too much during the cold and snow. A special kudos to our property manager, Mary Kay as she was on top of every email we sent prior to our arrival and she checked in with us during our stay and promptly answered all our questions.

Beautiful, unique property with easy access to all things fun in Colorado Springs! This property is great for couples traveling together as each couple would really have their own space! There is one bedroom/bathroom downstairs and one bed/bath upstairs! Enjoyed our stay!!

Very clean, comfortable and close to many attractions in CS!

This home is very clean and beautifully decorated. Enjoyed reading some history around the house. Great set-up for two couples traveling together. Would stay again.

Everything was wonderful. Extremely clean and organized. Great location and Mary Kay’s communication was great. We will definitely stay again!

VRBO Location is wonderful. Just off the freeway yet far enough to be quiet and fell safe. The location is very close to downtown. A very quick drive to hiking locations. The home is lovely and well appointed. There are two separate living areas which make it pleasant for families.

Love the place, the location and the easy rental process. The only thing I could have used was a coffee bean grinder. I found a great coffee place close - Frankly Coffee. Super coffee and pastries. I'll be back again and again. My daughter goes to UCCS.

The Tesla house was perfect for us, two adult couples, as each floor has its own bedroom and full bath. Very tastefully decorated and everything we needed was supplied. Location was perfect for exploring the area. We walked downtown most nights and felt very safe. Everything we wanted to do was an easy 20 minute or less drive, and plenty of nearby restaurants to choose from. The property managers were VERY responsive before and during our stay, and even helped us out last minute by securing the house for the entire week instead of us having to take two separate houses for 3-4 days each. Above and beyond! We would definitely recommend and return if in the area again!

The property is close to many activities around Colorado Springs.

Location is convenient to most everything. House is roomy and furnished okay!

This was a great place to stay and we highly recommend it. It was just as advertised. It was clean and the location was great. Easy access to all the places we wanted to go. Close to all major roads while being very close to downtown. The area it was in was very nice as well. The owner was attentive and great to work with. Would certainly stay again.
