Wonderful Experience
This Vrbo is nestled right in the mountain with amazing views and wildlife. It is also right across from a horse ranch, which I highly recommend visiting, so even on the mornings we’re deer are scarce you can see the horses

Amazing vacation stay
We wanted a nice, clean, relaxing place for our vacation that still offered plenty of things to do. This place was perfect! Beautiful, exceptionally clean, and centrally located to all we wanted to do. Watched horses, does, and numerous bucks every night. Wish we could give this place and owner more than 5 stars!!! numerous bucks every night.

Anniversary Trip
Wonderful cottage, very clean and nice. Well located to Garden of the Gods. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The host does an excellent job with all the amenities, even wine for a nominal donation. Highly recommend. The only thing that was a little surprise was the smell of the horse stable when we arrived and periodically during our stay. Would recommend and would love to stay again!

Friend Reunion Weekend
This was an amazing property and location for our trip! We ziplined with nearby Adventures Out West and had a blast, hiked Garden of the Gods, window shopped, and dined at nearby restaurants. But honestly it was hard to leave to do anything because this was such a relaxing spot! The views are wonderful and outdoor space is private because the home is located on a private drive. Highly recommend for any group, unless you can’t do stairs. We can’t wait to come back!

Manitou Springs
Everything we needed was in the unit. The owners live very close and can respond quickly with any issues. The unit has also been well cared for. There is a horse stable near by, so if you do not like horses that might be an issue. The location is unbeatable for seeing all the things in and around Colorado Springs.

The best location for seeing it all!
This place was exactly what we were looking for. Just a couple minute drive from Garden of the Gods (perfectly walkable as well), close to Manitou Springs and Old Colorado City, and about an hour drive to the top of Pikes Peak. The home has everything needed for cooking as well as a gas grill. The neighborhood is quiet and out of the way of heavy traffic. Even though we didnt meet the hosts, we felt very welcomed. We appreciated the snacks and coffee. Hope to stay here again some day!
