I wanted to be ecstatic about this place. The location is phenomenal, especially for anyone looking to be close to North Gate USAFA as we were. Movies and restaurants and our other guests at hotels were close by. It is set up well to accommodate rental needs and has a nice walking trail nearby. Not having a garage door opener was a bummer and significantly impacted our conveniently available parking since street parking has low availability.
We have used VRBO for many years for USAFA events. This place checked the boxes. Was not impressed with Hoste, who added quite significantly to the cost after booking. They were not helpful with our questions. The place was broom clean and wiped down, but honestly in need of a good scrub.
I get tired of the price gouging that happens for USAFA graduation. The place we rented for last year's graduation was similar in price, but 3 times the size, had a huge entertaining area, a barbecue, full backyard, significant parking, and a very helpful owner who left us stadium chairs, a cooler, water bottles, and even USAFA paraphernalia to make our stay a hit. We paid a high sum for the place, but it was worth it. I didn't feel that way here. We paid a similar top dollar and got pretty good. I'd stay here again, but not for the price charged us.
