Fantastic home close to Colorado College

We loved this home. It is spacious yet cozy with bedrooms spread over three levels and plenty of room for the 8 people in our family gathering. The house was incredibly well stocked with lots of fresh food and we were greeted with fresh flowers and a basket of treats. The owner Beth was very attentive. All in all, it was a cut above your usual VRBO experience. We hope to stay here again!

Great Property and Location

This property in located in the Old Town area of Colorado Springs. It’s convenient to many attractions of the area, and we really enjoyed the neat architecture of the homes, as we walked around the neighborhood. We’ve stayed at many VRBO properties over the years, and this is one of the best for how well it’s stocked. It’s a very comfortable place, and one feels right at home during the stay.

Comfortable Old North End Classic Home

We were so comfortable in this great home that is so close to all the wonderful places in Colorado Springs that people want to visit. The owner was easy to communicate with and had the kitchen stocked with unexpected extras. Very comfortable beds. We loved the huge front porch & the back deck & very comfortable and large living room. If ever we need a large home when visiting Colorado Springs, I hope we can get this one again.

2024 adventures

Wonderful location, the host was fantastic. Even provided breakfast items for us to enjoy. As well as snacks for the whole time we were there. Plenty of room to have privacy for three couples. The only disappointment was two of the bedrooms televisions would not work. In a way that might be a good thing as it did make us stay closer together. I would highly recommend this place.

More than a house

Beth is a host in the truest sense of the word, not just an owner renting her house. She makes her house feel like a home. Interesting furniture and decor. Well stocked pantry, refrigerator and freezer. Her home has everything you could want or need and then some. Out of the ordinary snacks and gourmet breakfast items. Great location.

Great house for a group

Great house for a group of old college friends in their 50s who'd come to town on the heels of a football game. Lots of room. Super clean. Really well outfitted and comfortable furniture. Plenty of room, too, so nobody was on top of anybody else. So nice to have snacks. And great communication with Beth. Thanks for a great stay.

Great house for USAFA graduation

We had a great experience renting this house. Plenty of room for lots of family. Downstairs basement was perfect for our teens. Front porch was the best! Wonderful, walkable neighborhood and about 20 minutes to the academy. Owner left snacks, fruit and items in the fridge for us to use. This was so nice and appreciated.

Wonderful Hospitality at a great Location

Beth is a thoughtful and gracious Hostess. In her well stocked kitchen, she included special food items for one in our group who had food allergies! The location is lovely and quiet, with great parks nearby and all of the "must see" sites within easy driving distance. The kids LOVED the basement and all of its games and art supplies. The adults enjoyed sitting on the back deck in morning for coffee and evening for wine. We've already recommended this home to several of our friends, and we look forward to staying there on our next trip to Colorado Springs.

Amazing Home in the old North End of Colorado Springs

We booked last minute to stay for an event happening and the Colorado Springs area, to say we were blown away by this property is an understatement. Craftsman style home, situated on a lovely tree-lined street close to down town. Beth the owner went out of her way to make us feel like we were at home. Extremely clean, kitchen was stocked with groceries I have never seen in a rental unit, nice toiletry options in the bathrooms and great little touches throughout the home. I could see this as a great place to spend a vacation with a decent sized family, easy access to all that Colorado has to offer in a comfortable and clean home. Definitely would stay here again.

Best VRBO stay to date!!

It was the little things that all added up. The home was in presentation mode when we arrived. Spotless, decorated and completely lit up. The kitchen was stocked with essentials (eggs, bacon, bread, butter ALL the spices etc...), a very rare find. Although we didn't use much of them, we didn't have to BUY any! The beds were all comfy, and had REAL pillows. This place definitely exceeded my expectations and has set the bar for all our future stays!!

Lovely getaway

We had a wonderful stay at the Sumac Inn for a multi-generational family vacation! The house is full of character and beautifully decorated, and is well set up for visitors. We found snacks and some staples in the kitchen to get us started and even fresh flowers, which were a wonderful gift. With 4 kids ranging from 3 to 14 years old, there was something for all to enjoy, from the basement setup to the backyard. In terms of location, there were sidewalks for walks around the beautiful neighborhood, attractions like Pike's Peak and Garden of the Gods only about 15 minutes away, and a large assortment of restaurants just a few minutes away. All in all a wonderful experience.

Best VRBO ever

This house was perfect for a large group of us attending a family reunion. We were amazed at how well-stocked the place was and all the thoughtful touches that were included. The host, Beth, provided fresh flowers, fruit, plentiful snacks, eggs and bacon, oj, milk, yogurt, coffee, chocolates! There were serving dishes and scissors and tape and ziploc bags and plenty of extra pillows and towels, games and books and comfortable chairs - you name it, the house had it. All my communications with Beth were a pleasure! Highly recommend! One small FYI - it's an older house, so light sleepers might want to pack earplugs to guard against the creaky floorboards if you've got people moving around at night. The house also had two small fans that a couple of us used effectively for white noise.

This House Has it All!

This house really does have it all. The house is centrally located to all the local attractions - Manitou Springs, Garden of the Gods, Pike's Peak, etc. It is also located in a beautiful, historic neighborhood with close proximity to a park for kids/hiking. In addition, the house comes fully stocked with all the essentials (extra paper towels, toilet paper, trash bags, soap, etc.) in addition to all the cooking needs (spices, oils, leftover storage, etc). The owner also supplies snacks, fruit, milk, eggs, flour, sugar, etc. to help get your stay started so you don't have to run to the grocery store on your first day. The younger kids in our group loved playing in the backyard and with the toys in the basement. The owner was always available for quick communication via text if there was a question or concern. I would definitely recommend this rental to others.

Highest quality home rental in my entire (long) life

Owner goes way above and beyond in welcoming renters- it was a “wow” experience for us. Food, lighting, music; we rented for almost 2 weeks over Christmas and the seasonal décor alone was impressive. Refrigerator stocked for breakfast, fruit, etc. Home is in excellent condition, well maintained and it feels like owner is quite literally welcoming you into her much-loved home. Things work, the kitchen is super well equipped (far beyond any rental kitchen in my experience, and I have seen a lot of rental kitchens). If you have a couple of families with children this home is ideal==> two bedrooms for two sets of parents, and multiple children-capable beds in the basement, the main floor and on the second. Lovely master bedroom upstairs— if anything, the photos do not do the home justice. My husband enjoyed working in the mornings in the office of the living/family room- bright, lots of windows, well equipped. We loved it. If we come back, which is likely, we will try to rent this home again. Thanks so much.

Whoever is reading this, book this place. Lots of room and great historic place. Beth was easy to work with and provided all info we needed for our stay. Checkout sheet was short and quick. Great neighborhood and close to many tourist places. Shopping less than a mile and medical center even closer(thankfully we didn’t need it). Five stars for the Sumac Inn.
