Pikes peak family adventure
Wonderful home. Spacious and clean. Hot tub huge and clean. Felt like home. There is a national park 50 feet away with hiking trails. Woodland park was an amazing little spot. Posh grocery store and you have to got to 110 reserve. Great food and live music.

Nice House
The house was beautifully furnished and had everything we needed. The neighbors are close and there is a lot of traffic on the road due to the trail head at the end of the street. If you are looking for something quiet, this may not be for you. The location was within quick distance to Woodland Park.

Great communication
We were traveling with our 13 month old grandson. We ended up getting in town 2 hours early and he really needed a nap. We contacted the host to see if there was anyway we could check in early and she made it happen. The property is very clean and well kept. We would definitely stay here again.

Family time in Colorado
This property is perfect for families that need space. We had four adults and two small children under the age of three.
This was the only property I could find that had king beds and enough bathrooms to accommodate us all.
The location is quiet and plenty of room outside to roam.
There is not an air conditioner because the temperature normally doesn’t get above 75 in the summer. The hosts were able to control the whole house fan and get it set to a comfortable temperature. That along with open windows the house was very comfortable.
If we come back here again, we will definitely goose to stay here.

Perfect place for time away
This place is absolutely stunning. They’ve done a great job of paying attention to all of the little details and creating a space that makes you feel at home away from home. It’s a great location and just a short drive to many things to do in Colorado. We would definitely recommend staying here and would stay again if in Colorado.

High Altitude Solitude
Very nice and quiet house and property, well out of town and somewhere close to 9500’ elevation. The owners have provided nearly everything you need, including cooking spices and steak rub. Good wine glasses. Nice furnishings, large rooms and house. The hot tub was amazing. I’m less enthusiastic about the firmness of the beds, but that’s an individual choice. Minor suggestion: add a meat thermometer and a cheap wine decanter. All in all a great getaway!

A great getaway with much to do
Our family enjoyed a quick getaway at this home. We found the house to be beyond clean- pristine and immaculate came to mind. The lay out was great- master upstairs and 2 downstairs rooms with ample space. The 6 person hot tub was a hit! The kitchen was well stocked and the kitchen amenities were all high end (fridge, range, oven, microwave and dishwasher).
The grill was great too!
No detail was forgotten and we did love our stay! I would agree with the other reviewers that the internet is slow (this is posted on the listing) and cell service isn't great. But, we weren't there for that! The sheets were nice. The towels could use an update but, a minor thing!
If you are looking for a great place to stay to getaway in the mountains, this is the place for you!

Snowed in at a dream home
what an amazing rental property. Every aspect of the experience here has been curated to ensure maximum enjoyment with none of the hassle of traditional rental properties.
check in was an absolute breeze, with no need to exchange keys with a person, a welcome change especially with covid.
The house itself is Nestled just far enough away from Woodland Park that you feel secluded, but close enough that trips to town are easy, even in bad weather. As a non native and someone who does not drive in snow often, this was very helpful.
the house is full of things to keep you occupied, like books, games, and obviously the AMAZING hot tub.
*Seriously* - if you book for no other reason, book for the hot tub.
A huge pet peeve of mine is a poor sleeping situation. This can make or break a rental, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that the beds are firm and supportive, and there are plenty of good pillows. Even the guest beds are great.
The kitchen is a cooks dream. huge gas range, dual zone oven, and everything you need cook an incredible meal, including a great grill.
Internet is a bit slow, but that is a welcome trade off for all of the other things that this rental brings.
Five Stars all around.
