Just like home...
This was our 2nd time to stay here over Christmas. We enjoy the fully stocked kitchen, spacious living and dining room, and beautiful yard for the dog! The neighborhood is very nice, just down the street from King Sooper and central to everything in the Springs. Very clean and well maintained!

NO A/C and terrible customer service
If you are thinking of booking this in the summer. DON'T!! We arrived to the location and upon walking it was 87 degrees in the home. They claim the house had partial AC but the window unit that's in the back living room(there were two sitting areas) did not work as it was blowing hot air and the bedrooms are on the opposite end of the home. We attempted to turn on all the provided fans and still the temperature did not come down after 2 hours. We called the "emergency" after hours line and they told us they would call us back to see if they could switch our VRBO unit to a different one that had AC as I had my elderly parents with me as well as my small child. NOT A 5 STAR RENTAL!
They never called back like they said they would in 30 min so I called back after 1 hour. They said there were no available units nearby and so I asked for a refund as we needed to stay somewhere with AC. They proceeded to tell me they weren't going to refund us either. Needless to say they were the LEAST bit helpful.
To top it off it didn't appear that they maintained the outside as the grass was a half foot tall and there were piles of garbage bags full of grass clippings that smelt absolutely terrible on the side of the home. When I told them this they said to open our windows to let it cool off inside, when we did we could smell the grass clippings inside the home. I will NEVER work with this company again and I don't recommend you do either unless you want to experience anything like this.

Nana's place
Apparently, Nana died and left her heirs this house. However, no one has yet bothered to move out any of her furniture, jewelry, wall art, nail polish, or prescriptions. Sadly, Nana must not have owned a lawn mower to bequeath to her heirs because the lawn was so high that our 16-pound dog couldn’t do his business without his poop or pee landing on his head. He took one look at the yard and must have thought he was starring in the dog version of a Jumanji film. I guess Nana didn’t have a vacuum either because there was trash on every floor surface. We even found pills on the bathroom floor which, thankfully, our dog didn’t find first. If you want to watch the nice big 60+ inch TV in the main living space, good luck hearing it. The blowing fans (not central AC) are so loud you can’t even hear them scream “Good answer!” on Family Feud. We were instructed to take the trash to the curb for next day pickup, so my husband went out to find one can marked “recycling only” and two other crumbling trash cans that were already full of putrid smelling trash that contained Halloween-themed items. Mind you, we rented the place in July. On the positive side, Nana has a nice, big, updated bathroom downstairs with handles on the toilet in case you have trouble standing from the sitting position. Nana would not be proud.

Girls trip
Overall house was spacious and comfortable. There were a few non working items the first morning but someone came to fix the issues. No central air so the house was hot inside (80 or above) from late morning to around 7 or 8 PM when we could open windows and let cooler outdoor air through. We also requested an extra fan.

The house was perfect. My 88 year old mother and 16 year old granddaughter loved the house, too. It was by far one of the nicest houses I’ve stayed at and I hope it will be available for all of my future trips to Colorado Springs.
