Hot Tub | Game Room | Wood Fireplace

This property is conveniently located close to Woodland Park and Manitou Springs. We liked the mountain setting and cooler temperatures (compared to Colorado Springs). The parking is a bit wonky. There's one spot in the front and one in the back, so technically two, but it was super difficult to get and out of the one in the back. If you have a four wheel drive, fine, but a regular car will have trouble on the grade. There are two bedrooms, but one has an ensuite bathroom where a single door rolls between bathroom entrance and bedroom entrance. So if you like to sleep with the door to the bedroom closed for privacy and you also like to have the bathroom door closed for privacy, you can't do both at the same time. Plus the rolling mechanism is loud and sticks so don't try to move the door from one opening to the other in the middle of the night! Word to the wise--there's no microwave. I realize (now) that it's not in the list of amenities, which is like !!!??? In this day and age, who doesn't have a microwave in a rental house? I am the type who lets her coffee get cold and then there's no way to heat it up, so I had to make a new cup each time. I should have paid better attention when I booked. Also watch your head on the stove hood. Everyone in my family hit it at least once. It's right in the middle of the island. Should have orange tape or something on it. We had a good time on our vacation and managed to make the less than stellar elements of the house work.

This house worked well for our quick 2-night stay. Location is great. Halfway between Woodland Park and Colorado Springs was ideal for us. Very close to Garden of the Gods, Cave of the Winds and Pikes Peak. Also, was an easy drive to Manitou Springs (good restaurants and shops) and all that Woodland Park has to offer. The house is small but main floor is very open and has room to spread out. Good mattresses in upstairs bedroom, updated bathrooms and updated kitchen. We made use of the basement TV/theatre room to watch a movie. It was my first time booking a Vrbo that was managed by a property company versus a private/personal owner. The Property Company (Nestago) was good to deal with. You end up dealing with numerous reps, vs. one owner, but all the reps were very responsive, friendly and accommodating. No issue there. Overall a positive experience. The house is older but updated and is an appropriate value for the price.

Family had a lot of fun and enjoyed the property and its amenities. Only gripes would be the barn door style sliding doors for both rooms. Especially the master, where the door could either close the room or the bathroom, but not both at the same time. They were a bit noisy also. A couple of the master room’s track mounting bolts were backwards making it hard to open and close the door quietly or easily, or not bounce a wheel off the track.

great stay super beautiful area. plenty of space.

It was a very enjoyable experience and a great location

We wanted a mountain view with backyard and hottub.It was overall an ok fit. The upstairs furniture was not the most comfortable and to get downstairs was a bit complicated with the small spiral staircase. Also, thought there would be coffee and some condiments provided, but there was none -so had to treck into town to get all the necessities. Rental is geared more towards younger kids and my grown boys didn't fit in the bunk beds and futons were a bit small. Enough room to work it out.

We got snowed in but this was the best anniversary trip!

We had an amzing time! The view is beatiful and we had fun!

This property could be so much better with a little attention to detail. One major problem with the property is that the bedroom doors are barn-door style doors that offer no sound privacy. The two bedrooms are directly across from each other, and the doors do not muffle sound from the rooms at all. They should be replaced with regular doors. Additionally, this property lacked some odd items: there was no luggage rack or dresser in either bedroom. I had no place to put my suitcase but on the floor. The bathrooms were not supplied with kleenex. I had to buy a box at the grocery store. The ice maker in the freezer was not hooked up to water, and there were no ice trays at the property. We had to purchase ice. There was no microwave. There was a bit of salt in the cabinet but no pepper. In the bedroom with an attached bath, the same sliding barn door closes both the bedroom and the bathroom inside the bedroom. So if you close the bathroom door, the bedroom is wide open. The bed in the main bedroom is small. I think it was listed as a queen, but I'm guessing it was a full. The description listed parking in front and back of the property, but there was no way to access the parking in back due to a large drop off from the street. It showed that this property is managed by a rental company and is not actually anyone's vacation home. We had a good time, but these small annoyances, among other small details, frustrated us about this house.

We opted for the mountains of CO this year. The house was perfectly located for everything we wanted to do while in the area. Would definitely recommend for anyone needing space for a large family.

We really enjoyed our stay at this little house! It was a good fit for our family. The kids enjoyed the game room in the basement and the hot tub was a hit as well. One thing that is important to note is the spiral staircase. The stairs are shown in the photos. If you are a larger person (weight or height), you might find it difficult to get to the basement via the spiral stairs. They are fairly narrow. It wasn’t a problem for us- but worth noting for those that are on the larger side. There is a separate entrance to get to the basement, however, it requires that you go out the front door and go down some steps outside to a side door. The laundry is located in the basement- so if you plan on doing laundry and you think the spiral stairs won’t work for you- this might be an inconvenience and a factor to consider. Overall, I would stay here again. The location was close to Pikes Peak and Garden of the Gods. It felt more secluded than an in-town location. The place was charming and VERY clean!
