Convenient in every way!

We came for a conference at Charis Bible College and were pleased that we were only eight or nine minutes away from the campus. No winding dirt roads to go down, less than five minutes away from town. It was a huge bonus that the home was airy, light, beautifully appointed with decor and furniture. Kitchen fully stocked,, amazing outdoor area, and hot tub. The three full bathrooms were ideal for 10 people getting ready. Thank you for our best stay yet in Woodland Park!!

The home was amazing, clean and quiet. I wish I could have stayed longer. I will stay again if I am in the area. Only issue I had was the emails with check in and out information appear as spam and came from a different sender than my booking service, so I missed them! Definitely recommend!

Family vacation

Very spacious and clean. My family had plenty of space to relax after being out all day seeing the sights. Lots of wildlife in the neighborhood! Great location and not too far away from restaurants and recreation.

Very nice place to stay.

I am so GLAD I chose this place, everything was great with plenty of room for 4 adults. The outdoor space in backyard with grill, fire pit and hot tub was very nice. We cooked our own meals most nights and everything you need to cook is there. I cant really complain about anything. I would definitely recommend this place to stay.

Charming and Updated Mountain Home

We traveled to Colorado Springs for a softball tournament. This home was conveniently located about 30 minutes away from all fields. We enjoyed staying up in the mountains rather than being in the heart of Colorado Springs. The home was clean, well stocked, and the owners were very responsive and easy to communicate with. We enjoyed our stay and would love to come back.

Family Reunion

I needed a place for my family that wasn’t local to crash and this house was perfect for it. We even got to grill in the back and play board games. The host is super responsive and very clear on instructions. They do it all through email so make sure you check your inbox! Amazing stay, definitely happy to recommend to others!

Perfect for bigger families

My, spouse and our 8 children (spouses included, ages12-31) and grandchild (2) stayed 5 days and had a blast. It was perfect to have separate spaces, but all together spaces as well. They thought of everything here. The location is perfect. We had a view out the front and a secluded back area that included sand out, hot tub, fire pit, BBQ, and dining area. We even had deer come right up to us! We'd all come back here again.

Perfect Mountain Retreat

House was perfect for 14 to easily sleep. Gorgeous location! Saw deer everyday. Bike and hiking trails within walking distance. Hot tub was fun. Used Firepit and grill every night. Double oven was helpful to feed our group. Fridge/freezer was a little small for a weeks worth of food, but we made do since Grocery is only 5 mins away. Plenty of space to eat and play in the house and yard. Two car garage. Located near so many fun places: Garden of the Gods, Royal Gorge, Arkansas River (River Runners were awesome in Buena Vista), Manitou Springs, Cliff Dwellings, Pikes Peak, Platte River in Deckers, Ghost Town Museum, etc. We will be back!

Clean Mountain home

15 of us ladies stayed here for a weekend retreat. We truly enjoyed our stay! This home was clean and well stocked with everything you need. We have two complaints, the driveway was super steep and it snowed. We had a hard time driving up the driveway in the snow. We parked at the bottom of the driveway instead and hiked our way up. The other complaint is, the house sleeps us to 15 people. That means 15 people using showers. The hot water would run out after the first three ladies and the rest of us had cold showers. The owner needs to invest in a tankless water heater so that their guest can have unlimited hot water.

Wonderful place in Woodland Park!

I would highly recommend this VRBO and plan on returning. It's always hit and miss in terms of cleanliness and I must say I was very happy with the attention to detail. House was clean, pantry stocked with essentials (spices, napkins, etc.), linens were clean, hot tub in working order, laundry works. Only reason I rated it a 4/5 is because the property owner was difficult to contact through the VRBO app prior to the trip with questions, but my wife was able to reach them separately by messaging them through the app, so I'm not sure what that was about. More so though, the non-stick pots/pans were completely beyond their useful life and rusted. Made it difficult to cook since we tend to cook rather than eat out when we go on vacation. The back area where the hot tub was could use a good cleaning up with a landscape blower, otherwise, little things like that can be fixed and should not deter you from renting this VRBO. I met the cleaner/maintenance gentleman who came by Tuesday to take out the trash and he was very nice, so I'm sure this feedback will be taken and the minor issues mentioned will be quickly corrected.

Great home

Only issue was we couldn’t use tv downstairs first evening because of internet issues. He quickly responded and set up a time to come and fixed. I was not a fan of cameras around the hot tub. I understand security but guest want a level of privacy. Was told cameras were in listing but never found this disclaimer.Home was very clean and we enjoyed our stay!

No Acclimation Needed

Yes, we had to acclimate to the altitude of Pikes Peak, but zero acclimation was needed for our vacation home. Without question, the communication between me and the owner and his team was EXCELLENT...Best In Class. Loved our location and clearly fit the needs of all the age groups in our family gathering of 15 people. Thanks for helping make our memories of our week even greater.

Great Property

This was a fantastic mountain getaway for my family. The house was large enough to get some alone time if needed. The hot tub was a nice addition for the cold nights. The deer come up to the door, but don’t feed them!

Overall Pleasant Experience

The property was very clean and beautiful. There was plenty of space for our large group. We enjoyed the hot tub and outdoor fire pit. The stove top cooks slow so if you plan to stay in and make meals give yourself plenty of time. The house would also prosper with a better selection of pots and pans. Any issue we had was quickly responded to and addressed. Other than that our family enjoyed it and we had a great time. I would definitely stay again.
