The location was perfect, the beds comfy and loved the theme and all the handmade quilts. Kids had a great time with the games. It has lots of stairs, which is not a problem unless you are on crutches. I would stay again, I will be off crutches. Some garden level basements have ground level entrance, and I assumed that, so it was tough to navigate for me. The china was beautiful and the same set that my Mom has so that was fun.

We enjoyed staying at this place during the AF Academy Parent's Weekend. The drive out to the area is beautiful and easy, and we loved this VRBO! It is roomy, super clean, has comfy beds, and was very relaxing! Laura's communication was excellent! Overall, a positive experience, and we would stay here again!

5 stars all the way! During our stay we had everything we needed and more. Beds were comfy and the swing set and trampoline were fun for the kids in the evening. Everything was really clean and Laura checked in on us several times. Great place to stay with a family and we loved the activities around Colorado Springs.

We really enjoyed our time together in Laura's adorable basement apartment. Laura was an amazing and responsive host for the duration of our Christmas stay. The layout of the house was perfect for our party of 6 plus dogs - very comfortable. The kids also enjoyed the use of her spacious yard! Can’t wait to return the this incredible retreat. Thank you!

Headed home after a week of camping, Laura's property seemed like the perfect place to rest up, clean up, and meet up with family before heading back home. What a great place - super clean, kid- and pet-friendly, nice quiet safe neighborhood, lots of greenspace and nearby to all the conveniences. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to booking her place on our next trip to Colorado. Thanks Laura!

Very Clean and Easy to Access
My highest priority in a rental is cleanliness and safety. This one is super clean and well maintained. The neighborhood is very quiet and felt safe. Laura left lots of lights on for when we arrived after dark. We stayed here for USAFA Parent’s Weekend. It is a little further from campus but so nice to be away from the crowds of this weekend. We enjoyed the restaurants that are close to this neighborhood. Laura was very helpful and easy to communicate with!

Exploring Colorado Springs
Our stay was amazing. We are a family of six. Even though this property is a basement, it doesn’t feel like a basement at all. It had lots of natural light with a good amount of windows. The bed in the master was big and comfortable. All four of our kids enjoyed the second bedroom where they each had their own bed. The one bathroom was not an issue at all. Nobody felt rushed or crowded. There is also plenty of towels provided. The kitchen is stocked with everything needed for cooking and warming food. It does not have stove/oven. It does have a two burner plug in that I was able to make scrambled eggs on for tacos. We used the toaster oven also and there’s an air-fyer. Now, to the backyard. If you have kids, they will love the backyard. It has a very nice trampoline, playground, hammock, and fire pit. The amazing host, Laura, let us know she was lighting the pit one evening. Our kids had the best time roasting marshmallows and entertaining Laura with stories. Laura was the best host we’ve ever had for a vacation stay! Communication was fantastic and easy. We would definitely stay again and would recommend to anyone.

Great place!
Lura was fabulous to work with. Always timely responses to anything I asked her. This property is great and affordable. Another plus was the play structures in the back yard. Baby was a bit too young for them but if we get to come back next year, they’ll be perfect! You literally have everything you need except an oven. But who goes on vacation to cook?!? Not us!! We will definitely be staying here again!

We stayed in the Falcon Hills area as we were visiting family. This home turned out to be less than a half mile away from who we were visiting. Perfect! Loved the little kitchen area with a microwave and every small appliance one would need. It was perfect! It was so nice to feel like we were home with all the quilts around. Perfect!

My family and I had a wonderful stay here. The backyard is big enough for kids to run around and play on the the trampoline or play structure. Very easy access to to some main streets to get you where you need to go! A little away from the main parts of Colorado Springs. but an easy enough drive to get back to major highways, etc....

We really loved staying here. It was very clean and comfortable. It’s easy to check in. We were visiting friends in Colorado Springs and felt like it wasn’t a very far drive. We were also close to grocery stores to get things we forgot! Laura was really wonderful. Even though there isn’t a kitchen, it didn’t feel we were missing anything thanks to the kitchen appliances available like the Keurig, mini fridge, and microwave. We would definitely stay here again. It was perfect for myself, my husband, our teens, and our baby.

Family fun in a beautiful home near Colorado Springs
A beautiful home, plenty of space to spread out, and a back yard that will keep your young ones active and happy -- this awaits you if you rent this marvelous property just east of Colorado Springs in the Falcon/Peyton area. Our family of 13 - 6 adults and our seven grandchildren ranging in age from 4 to 19 - were together for our 50th wedding anniversary and it was the perfect place for us. Laura was a gracious hostess and even had a neighbor look in on us to see if we needed anything. The neighbor was friendly and fun and welcomed us as though we were family. The property was a "home," not just a "house" we rented. We felt at home the minute we walked through the door. The beautiful art work and the inspirational and positive messages that are a part of the decor really spoke to my heart. Everything was clean and comfortable and the kitchen was perfect for us. -- The backyard was one of the things that caught our eyes as we looked at rental property and it was everything we hoped for and more. The younger children played on the trampoline, the playground equipment and the zipline. The older ones had fun with the tether ball and badminton. We enjoyed the cookout on the large back deck in the cool Colorado weather. The property is beautifully landscaped so we had a photographer come to the home and take family pictures as a remembrance of our time spent there celebrating our anniversary. Laura's home has a nice piano which our granddaughters enjoyed. Our family gathered to sing which was a nice memory. We also enjoyed gathering together in the huge family room to watch the opening ceremony of the 2016 Olympics. If sightseeing is your forte, you will enjoy many opportunities to go places in the Colorado Springs area that are just minutes from this fabulous property. If pizza or pasta is one of your favorites, don't miss Fargo Pizza -- it was great. I realize this review is full of praise, but it is everything I've said. I don't think you would ever regret renting this home for your family. It is beautiful, it is spacious, and it is a perfect place for children. If you do rent it, I wish you joy -- I know that is just what you will experience. Thank you, Laura and your family, for opening your home for others to enjoy. As we left on Saturday morning, we all said, "Good-bye, wonderful home -- thank you for such a great time!" -- Perhaps we will be fortunate enough to go there again some day. What a treat!
