We greatly enjoyed our 5-night stay. Theresa and Steve were extremely hospitable and kind. The property was very clean, nicely decorated, well equipped with kitchen and bathroom supplies, and had comfortable bedding. There were even beverages and snacks waiting for us when we arrived!
They had kayaks, life jackets, a Jon boat, a paddle boat, fishing gear, pickle ball paddles and ball, and a corn hole/bags set available for outdoor activities. They also shared recommendations for other family activities.
There are wonderful restaurants options in Monument and nearby Castle Rock, Colorado Springs, Old Colorado City, and Manitou Springs. Monument Rock, Garden of the Gods, Red Rock Canyon Open Space, and many other hiking trails and natural attractions are close by. The Air Force Academy is also just a short distance away.
Lastly, we enjoyed the view of Monument Lake each morning as we ate breakfast outside and each evening when watching the sun set.
