SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS
14 guests sleep in real beds:

3 King beds
2 Queen beds
4 Twin beds
5 private bedrooms with doors, plus a 6th bedroom with a curtain instead of a door but it also has a secret hiding spot under the stairs for the young or young at heart. The upstairs bedrooms share a very large Jack & Jill bathroom. 3.5 bathrooms in total.
Bringing a few extra people We provide air mattresses with fresh bedding for additional guests. Please inquire about rates.

THE KITCHEN
Our guests mention it more than anything else. You'll find double ovens, a warming drawer, 8 burner gas cooktop, plenty of cookware, serving pieces, spices, oils and pantry basics, so you can cook for the whole group without bringing much from home.

OUTDOOR LIVING
Have your morning coffee in the rocking chairs, gather on the new outdoor sofa and chairs, soak in the hot tub, or end the night around the fire pits. Out here in the countryside the stargazing is incredible.

HOLIDAYS & WINTER AT THE ESTATE
At 7,450 feet, we're one of the snowiest spots near Colorado Springs. When it snows on the Front Range, it's usually snowing here too, and our snow sticks around longer than anywhere in town. Grab a sled from the house and head to the sledding hill right out the back door (or bring your favorite sleds from home), then warm up in the hot tub or around the fire pits.

During the holiday season we decorate the house lightly, with a Christmas tree and holiday bedding in the primary bedroom and the basement queen room, so it feels festive the moment you walk in.

We've stocked the house for hosting a crowd:

120-cup coffee urn and an extra ice maker
Sterno Chafing dishes for buffets and holiday meals
Metal tiered serving stands and glass beverage dispensers
Punch bowl with matching glasses
Christmas and winter placemats and some holiday serving dishes
Enough dishes, glassware, and silverwear for your whole group
Large folding table and folding chairs for extra seating

Thanksgiving dinner, Christmas morning, a New Year's Eve movie marathon in the theater: this home is set up to make hosting easy, so you can spend the holidays with your people instead of in the kitchen.

    We recently stayed at Mike and Michelle’s beautiful home for 6 days and 5 nights, and it was truly one of the best VRBO experiences our family has ever had. From the moment we booked, they were incredibly kind, responsive, attentive, and welcoming. They went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect throughout our stay.The home itself is absolutely stunning. It is spacious, beautifully designed, spotless, and somehow even better than the photos. Every member of our family who came in from out of town loved the house and could not stop talking about it. There was plenty of space for everyone to spread out comfortably while still spending quality time together.The views from sunrise to sunset are breathtaking and made the stay even more special. The home was also stocked with practically everything you could need, including thoughtful accommodations for little ones, which made traveling with kids so much easier.You can truly tell Mike and Michelle care deeply about their guests and take pride in creating an amazing experience. We cannot recommend this home enough and would stay here again in a heartbeat.

    We had a group of 7 adults, and everyone commented about how well thought out the details on the property were. The property was in great shape, with directions or notes in places where you might need them. We really enjoyed our time, and want to come back again soon.

    Our extended family of 13 had a wonderful time staying in the Luxury Farmhouse! The property provided ample bedrooms and bathrooms to meet the needs of our large group. We also enjoyed the pool table and ping pong table in the basement. The house had excellent views, but was also ten minutes from several restaurants and a grocery store. I would definitely recommend this rental property to others for travel to the Colorado Springs area. So many wonderful memories made!

    The home was spacious and clean. Check in was easy and, while we didn’t have any issues, the host was very responsive. Our group of 14 (2 adults/12 students) enjoyed everything about the property. The students loved the game room style basement, hot tub, basketball goal in the driveway, and the big yard. We adults loved the large kitchen and the 6-burner gas stove, double ovens, and warming drawer. The neighborhood was beautiful for a quiet morning run. The primary bathroom’s rain shower and the hot tub was a real treat after hiking all day! Location - we easily visited Manitou Springs Incline, Seven Bridges Trail, Monument Rock, Garden of the Gods, Pikes Peak, Compassion International Headquarters, and the Care & Share Food Bank. Would definitely stay here again!

    Our family just wanted a place to get together and share time and this was perfect! We probably should have stayed closer to activities but all in all a beautiful home and great place to call home for a few days!We got to experience wind and a March blizzard! The kids made snow cones out of dirty snow. What more could you ask for

    This place was over-the-top incredible! From the kindness of the owners and answering a few questions to the immaculate home….plenty of items for cooking if needed, more than enough rooms and bathroom space, hot tub and theatre room. If we ever need a place to stay again in the area this would be our go-to. Thank you Michelle for a wonderful place to call home for 4 days.
