Marcia and Brian create the best experience from the moment you walk in the door. They have curated every detail with intention with the priority being fulfilling the guest's needs. The decor is fantastic, the scenery is astounding, and everything is within close proximity. The home is wonderfully stocked. We will also be purchasing some Turkish bath towels when we return home. Highly recommend and would return again!

Location was excellent, walking distance from Garden of the Gods. Quaint little home, perfect for my two teens, husband and I. Enjoyed the well kept and organized manner of the home. The owners also left personalized letter with snacks for our arrival, very kind. They have a wine fridge which is fully stocked and they ask you leave 10 if you take a bottle, excellent for those wine enthusiasts. Hands down recommend this place to anyone looking for place outskirts of Colorado Springs close or Garden of Gods and Manitous Springs.

This listing requires to be updated and include the following: This rental is a Multi-Family Duplex Town-house, 2 bedroom, 2 bath, 2 story unit.The hosts live in the adjacent unit. Additional blinds/curtains need to be added for extra privacy. Especially to the block glass picture window in the kitchen/dining room area.Both bathroom fans were extremely loud and require to be replaced/updated.Rental unit was polished clean and inviting. The electric fireplace set the ambiance for a romantic dinner for 2.The view out the kitchen/dining room block glass window was of the hosts RV roof.Loved watching the Mule Deer walk down the driveway to drink from water from the bird bath, fantastic photos.The balcony has enough room for 1 person to move about but offers great views of the area.Watching the mule deer walk up and down the streets was a major bonus and fantastic photos.

Wonderful location; beautiful property
This is a very high-quality VRBO. Communication with Marcia was great as VRBO was having some glitches. Checking in was a breeze. The neighborhood was beautiful and eclectic and truly walking distance to multiple entrances to Garden of the Gods. Also a stone's throw from both Manitou Springs and Old Colorado City. Close to groceries and MANY restaurants. Every room was very clean and well equipped- the kitchen had things like spices, coffee filters, and of course all the pots, pans, dishes, etc. FREE snacks and water bottles provided. Beds very comfortable and my 6' 5" husband LOVED having a king bed available. Overall recommend 100%. (Two things to note: 1) it is near a horse stable- if you are sensitive to natural horse-related smells that could possibly be an issue. My daughter rides horses so we thought it was great. 2) The unit appears to be technically a duplex/one half of a house. While we hadn't picked up on that from the description, it did NOT effect our stay - the entrances are actually on different streets and we never crossed paths with others or heard anything from the adjacent unit. But worth noting if that matters to you.

Couldn't be happier with our stay at this property...it was secluded and quiet yet VERY conveniently located to major attractions. It was beautifully appointed, super clean, and management was very responsive to questions. My husband and I enjoyed sitting on the patio, sipping coffee in the mornings and enjoying the peace and quiet. Unfortunately the only photo I got of the property is a pic that my husband took of a bird that was perched on a bird statue on the patio, we thought that was kinda cute :) Can't go wrong with this property!
Exceptionally clean and comfortable stay for a week in Colorado Springs. It was rainy, so we ended spending a fair amount of time inside waiting for breaks in the weather for hikes. Kitchen was well stocked and host was very responsive. I would definitely recommend!

A Relaxing Oasis
Property exactly like pictures. Cozy, comfortable and quiet. Loved the turkish towels in bathrooms. Kitchen fully stocked with ample pots and pans, dishes, utensils and more. Easy drive to Garden of the Gods, Old Colorado City and the Cog Railway to Pikes Peak. Royal Gorge about 1.5 hrs away. Host provided binders that listed atttractions and places to eat. Very helpful. Got to meet host, Marcia, in person. Very charming lady. Saw two mule deer walk by, enjoyed seeing the trail riders leave the riding stable across from the property. Special bonus was an assortment of snacks upon arrival. They were pretty much demolished by the time we left. We didn't want to leave and would return. Highly recommend to others.Cindi and Colleen (Missouri)
