Very spacious home that was perfect for our team! We had a great stay! Thanks Emma and Chad!
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Sep 2025
Great house and great location!!! The hosts are amazing and get back with you promptly if you have any questions! We would definitely stay here again!!
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Aug 2025
We stayed here with 19 people across five families, and it was absolutely perfect for our extended family trip. The house was incredibly spacious, allowing each family to have their own space while still providing plenty of room to gather as one big group.The views of the mountains were stunning, and we loved watching the deer, rabbits, and other wildlife that visited the property throughout our stay. The multiple outdoor spaces became our favorite spots to gather most evenings and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.The location was ideal, offering just the right amount of privacy while still being conveniently close to groceries, gas, and shopping. The property served as our home base as we explored nearby attractions such as Garden of the Gods, Pikes Peak, the Wind Caves, and even the Royal Gorge, all within an hour’s drive.This home was everything we hoped for and more. It made our family trip truly special, and we would gladly stay here again.PS. It was grand of the hosts to order perfect weather for our stay!
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jul 2025
