Counting Stars Adobe, beautiful private rooftop deck, unique property

Imagine sipping a cup of coffee watching the sunrise over the city of Colorado Springs while sitting on your own private rooftop deck. After your day of sight seeing you can end your day by drinking a glass of wine watching the sunset over Garden of the Gods on the deck. Once nightfall has come you can then count the stars while enjoying the deck and fire pit. All of nature's bounty is just steps away from our home away from home. Endless hiking & biking trails are literally at your doorstep in our home. Within minutes you can be at all the wonderful attractions the Pikes Peak region has to offer. The quaint charm of Old Colorado City is within minutes with its unique shopping and wonderful dining.

INCREDIBLE! This home is spotless and located perfectly for adventure. Beautiful mountain trails are so close that we were able to do several quick hikes daily. Spacious relaxing livingroom with windows to the mountains and daily deer seem on hillside across the street. Also, a chest packed full of games. Super plush towels with baskets of essential toiletries offered for the taking. Kitchen equipped with everything we needed to make usually three meals daily. Very quiet at night, except for a few welcomed wildlife moments. Beds totally comfortable. Spotless garage. College kids stayed in lower level and master was on first level. Provided a private area for all with full bathroom on both levels. The next two mentioned items are important. The rooftop deck is worth every moment of enjoyment. Excellent addition to a wonderful home. Lastly, we got to meet the super precious owners who truly enjoy making your experience top notch. I’d look no where else upon our next visit to Colorado Springs. P.S. The road you might see in front of home was quiet and we enjoyed seeing all the bikers coasting down or pushing there way up as they passed by. LOVED THIS STAY

This was an amazing property, and we would absolutely stay here again on our next trip to Colorado Springs.The beds were incredibly comfortable, the house was stocked full of amenities (both in the kitchen and in the bedrooms in case you forgot to bring something with you). We spent time each night up on the rooftop patio, just sitting and watching wildlife and enjoying the beauty of the mountains. We didn't get to use the fire pit because we went in the heat of July, but that would be perfect for a chilly night!! Counting Stars is, by far, the most comfortable stay we've had at a VRBO.

A Perfect Stay

We absolutely loved this rental property! We've stayed in a lot of VRBOs and this was probably our favorite. Debbie was great with communication about finding the property and the best way to unload, as well as recommendations for the area. She surprised us with a delicious treat upon arrival. And, she has the place stocked with everything you could possibly need. It makes it feel like home! All the linens and paper products are high quality, too. It makes a difference! The beds were so comfortable - like sleeping on a cloud. The neighborhood was quiet, and the rooftop patio has a great view. The location is perfect for being close to everything in Colorado Springs and Manitou Springs. We loved this visit and were sad to leave so soon. Thanks for giving us a great start to our trip!

One of the best rental experiences we’ve ever had. The host was amazing and the care they put into the property and the renters experience is obvious. They provided great local recommendations, info on nearby activities, and even baked us a welcome treat. The location was perfect for us as it was just minutes away from the things we wanted to do and see like Garden of the Gods, Manitou Cliff Dwellings, and Cave of the Winds. And at the end of each day, we would relax on the rooftop deck and watch the wildlife across the road. Highly recommend!

One of the most thoughtful stays I've ever had

You can stay at a lot of places—but every now and then, you find one that makes you pause and say, “Wow, someone really put their heart into this.” That was this home.Everything about our stay felt intentional and meaningful. From the way the space was designed to the smallest thoughtful touches, it was clear that Debbie isn’t just a host—she’s a true curator of experience.One of the most memorable moments? She made us the most delicious warm cookie skillet—totally unexpected, and completely unforgettable. It was one of those small, generous acts that made us feel instantly at home. Not just welcomed—but cared for.Debbie’s thoughtfulness was woven into everything. You could feel it in the atmosphere, the comfort, the little details that most people might overlook—but she didn’t. That’s what made this more than just a stay. It was a reminder of what true hospitality feels like.If you’re looking for a place that’s cozy, intentional, and full of heart—this is it. You’ll leave feeling a little more rested, a little more inspired, and a whole lot more grateful.

Clean, Comfortable, Quiet and a Panoramic View

Grandparents looking after grandson while son and daughter-in-law attended a wedding. The house was immaculately clean, quiet, roomy enough for us, beautifully furnished, very well equipped, and had very comfortable beds. Bedrooms on different levels made for great privacy. The host was very helpful and accommodating. The 360-degree view from the rooftop deck is beautiful. Unfortunately, rainy weather prevented us from enjoying the fire table up there, which would have been a cherry on top. Overall, it was an excellent place for our stay.

Wonderful House!

"Counting Stars" is the best VRBO property I have ever rented. The location was perfect. It was so easy to visit Garden of the Gods, Eyrie Castle, Seven Falls, The Broadmoor, Pikes Peak and the Royal Gorge. Very close to Manitou Springs, Old Colorado City and downtown Colorado Springs. The house is so comfortable and fully equipped. The roof top deck is really great with nice views and a fire pit. The host, Debbie, is wo derful yo work with.

Absolutely Amazing

We were in town over the holiday weekend to visit our son who lives nearby. This property is very well appointed with our needs being covered. We enjoyed the roof deck and the perfect Colorado fall weather. Beds were also very comfortable. The owner was great with communication. (written by our 13 yo who loved it) - This property was the best house we could’ve stayed at in Colorado Springs. It was perfect for our family needs as we were able to watch movies in the family room and hang out and talk on the rooftop patio - that was the best. The lot was just two blocks down and an easy walk to a spacious park with a swing set and park equipment and it had an open area with a perfect spot for some games like football.
