8 / 10Excellent·May 2026
Pros: location! Fantastic views! Really unique old house. Plenty of space for my family of 6. Well stocked kitchen. Plenty of towels, soap, shampoo. Felt very clean overallCons: mattress and pillows desperately need updated. Word of caution: price quoted is for 2 people. Additional charge for each guest. (This is mentioned in description, but we missed it.)Stairs to house and in house are very narrow and steep! Owner mentions this. Just be sure to consider if you have any older people. But, overall a great stay! Would definitely recommend and we would stay again if in the area.
10 / 10Outstanding·Mar 2026
Property is perfectly located. We were able to enjoy all of the points of interest. The property had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We were able to visit the Cliffs Cave Dwelling, Cave of the Winds, Seven Falls, Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center, and Garden of the Gods. We also rode the Cogway Railway which is a short walk from the home. We really enjoyed the hot tub, and the enclosure made it even more comfortable. This property checked every box and we look forward to returning!
10 / 10Outstanding·Dec 2025
The cottage was quaint and cozy. It was well stocked with a full kitchen and everything we needed. The views were spectacular, especially from the large deck. The host thought of everything, even holiday season decorations. We especially enjoyed wood burning fireplace/stove and we plan to stay again next year. Note: the parking is limited and the host lives next door and does monitor the property/parking.
6 / 10Average·Nov 2025
The house itself was in good working order. Its an older house but was cozy. The stairs to get to the house and to leave were diabolical. I would not reccomend this home to anyone older with physical difficulties or anyone with kids.
