Barbara has been such an accommodating and respectful host! The stay itself is perfect for 1-2 people or couples for extended stays, and even fit 3 comfortably for a night. While storage space is limited, you can find different ways to store your things if you’re creative. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need and more than enough countertop space. Location is amazing. Easy walk to Old Colorado City, or a quick drive to downtown or Garden of the Gods. Nature is truly your back yard here. Other than the lack of storage, this place is perfect! I would definitely stay here again. Thanks!

Great place to stay

The property was clean and well maintained. Was able to be comfortable with 2 large dogs in this space. Neighborhood quiet. Outdoor space was small but adequate for letting the dogs out to potty. Close to parks with off leash dog areas

Clean and great area

The house was very clean and exactly what we expected from the pictures. We could see Pike's Peak and the Manitou incline from the back door. Enjoyed walking to OCC and the short drive to Manitou Springs, Garden of the Gods and Red Rock Canyon Open Space.
