Colorado Springs, Colorado
Summary:
Beautiful stay in the basement of a mansion with a private walkout to a stunning outdoor space with views of Pikes Peak where you can enjoy your morning coffee and maybe see deer.
This private 3 BED, 2 BATH space is clean, disinfected, has keyless entry for easy check in, and fast Wi-Fi for business travelers. Fully stocked kitchen to prepare and enjoy meals.
Plenty of space to gather and enjoy time with family watching movies, playing pool, or enjoying the outdoors.
The Space:
Enjoy a slice of nature right next door with plenty of open spaces, playground, ponds, pavilion, trails and a dog park.
Lower level indeed. Park in the private drive on the west side of the main home, the side closest to the mountains. Enter using the private electronic key code provided, and step into a warm, welcoming, luxurious space — but only after you explore the stunning, outdoor ones.
This home is located next door to Fox Run Regional Park—forested with trails, playing fields, and a lake and gazebo known for weddings and engagements. The entire area is located in the "Black Forest" north of Colorado Springs — an area away from it all, but also pretty (conveniently) close to all the necessary trappings of civilization. This property reflects the nature and the feel of this area superbly. There's a private patio attached to the unit. There's a pond and waterfall. There are trees and stone walls and grass and a sense of the natural, on luxurious (but obtainable) terms.
Back inside the space, you'll note the open design concept between the kitchen and living rooms. You'll also note that this is definitely not a basement. The space is completely independent—with a full kitchen, ready for your culinary creations. An entertainment room with quality furnishings and fireplace. A pool table. A gaming table. A SLOT MACHINE. Yeah … and there's also a gym. A gym! Plenty of dining spaces mean this one is perfect for families, friends and groups and with the 3 bedrooms, there's plenty of room to stay a while.
The bedrooms here are private with a shared bath between them. There are two queen beds and a comfortable double—all with luxurious sheets, cleaned and laundered professionally. There's also a sofa bed, for a max sleeping capacity of 8 people, comfortably. A full laundry is also available for guest use. Obtainable luxury, functional practicality and a value that you can't deny, this short-term rental is ready for you and yours. Browse our pictures, ask us any questions, and book today!
We are at 8,000 feet so we have no need for air conditioning. We do provide fans in all bedrooms to help you keep cool if you are warm natured.
To give you peace of mind, we have a 5 star cleaning team that keeps this home immaculately clean and disinfected (especially high-touch areas) so you can enjoy your stay and feel safe.
Guest Access:
Guest will have private access to the entire bottom unit. Access to the entire lower level with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a living room, kitchen, laundry, home gym equipment, grill and outdoor seating area. There is 2600 square feet of open floor plan. We pamper you with lots of extras.
The Neighborhood:
The north end of Colorado Springs is known for its larger, custom homes, quiet neighborhoods and private lifestyles. Less urban than other areas of Colorado Springs, the sense of "escape" here is palpable. The views of the mountains tend to be unobstructed. There are forests here. Access to outdoor recreation is superb, yet the modern conveniences abound too. Shopping and quality restaurants are relatively close. Gyms, grocery stores, outlets, food and drink are all within an approximate 5 - 10 minute drive. The area is also defined, somewhat, by its proximity to the Air Force Academy. Guests will frequently notice light training planes flying overhead—the nation's next Airmen learning their craft. Some of the most well-known area attractions are all within an approximate 30 minute drive—Pikes Peak, Manitou Springs, Garden of the Gods, Old Colorado City, Downtown, the COS Airport—all are easily accessible via main roadways and Interstate 25. With suburban appeal and easy access to everything that makes Colorado Springs great, this might be your perfect vacation rental locale.

Thank you for sharing your lovely home!
Convenient to the Springs, USAFA, and Denver.
The property area is very nice. Near train and anything you need. Inside was generally clean.
A pile/mound of trash was left in front of our basement entrance for two days. The wild animals (fox) got into a bag and then it was littered in the back yard. We made multiple calls to get it cleaned up but we checked in on Friday and it was Saturday late afternoon before someone came. We weren't able to use the back deck as a result due to the animal traffic. Even had someone's dog digging in the trash.
Very nice, roomy basement of a beautiful home that met all our needs (and then some!). It is located in an established, quiet neighborhood not far from restaurants and shopping. It was really cool to see the wildlife, including foxes, from the living room window while the teenagers enjoyed playing pool. Only suggestion is a motion sensor light by the garage when parking at night (there is a motion sensor one on the side steps leading down to the entry door). I would definitely stay here again when in Colorado Springs.
This is a beautiful home located well for travel both to and from the Springs as well as Denver and the surrounding area. It worked out great for my group of 5 adults and 2 small children (below the age of 3). We were here for 5 days/ 4 nights during Christmas week. Everything was pretty clean and tidy. There is a vast assortment of movie disks as well as a few games on site. The beds are comfortable, the rooms spacious. It was a challenge coming into this space and learning where everything is located (pots/pans/pot-holders/ etc), and it was even more of a challenge figuring out all of the light switches as there are several dimming, 3-way switches. However, that all worked itself out over the stay. Believe the reviews when it states there is no cell phone reception inside. Where some phone plans allow you to step out onto the covered patio to get reception, 4 out of the 5 adults in my group could not use their phones unless they went down closer to the street. I am an older male (not quite as tech savvy) and this really disrupted my communication with local family and friends. We had to use a variety of apps and rely on the wifi in order to communicate and coordinate. I am stating the above because it kept me from contacting the host by phone or text for the following. I could have just knocked on their door each time, but I did not want to be that guest. This leads to my next commentary that would have made our stay more comfortable. The heaters work too well. We were hot, and adjusting the temp seemed to make no difference. It would be nice to know what areas the two thermostats control as well as reduce overall heat program. There was no dish washing detergent, so we used the liquid soap and had to hand wash all our dishes and pans. The carpeted kitchen scared us during food prep, but we managed. Navigating the side of the house with a series of steps both up and down was precarious at best in the dark with ice. Especially leaving after the intense blast of back porch lighting as you move into shadow. Added lighting would be much safer. The back porch light sensor prevented us from being able to sit in the evening and view the stars from this lovely sitting area as well as it setting off a chime inside every time you move. A timer or switch= nice add-on. Window treatments for the greatroom windows would be a nice addition for privacy. I would stay again and recommend- all of the above would've just made our stay that much better.
Great ?? thanks
Overall nice place. Needs a few more dishes for families and definitely needs outdoor lights to help navigate in the dark.
Perfect spot right outside Colorado Springs. Easily accessible and very comfortable.
For the price we paid, you expect exceptional. The details matter even the small ones. Very nice property, meet every need we had, nice location. Bedrooms were great, TV was fabulous, little kitchen area was very functional. IMPROVEMENT NEEDS: Inconsistent address listing on vrbo led us to believe we were more remote when we were not. Main bathroom toilet paper holder broken. Main bathroom shower wasn’t clear how to operate, should proactively have instructions. Inconsistent details on checkout vrbo says 10, guest book says 11am. Vrbo listing was not clear this was basement only, misleading expectations. Need a way to get air circulation in main sitting area, no way to open window. Bedrooms were fine for air circulation. TV in one bed room would not connect to wireless. Updated picture needed for workout area, picture on listing misleading.
Loved our stay in this beautiful 3 bedroom, 2 full bath rental. Kitchen area is roomy. Full spice rack..
