Beautiful retreat!
We stay often in COS, to visit family, and we were delighted to see this newer listing in the Old North End — a lovely, historic and quiet neighborhood! Everything was exactly as described and in photos. Beautiful outdoor garden and very comfortable bed. We didn’t eat meals there, but the full kitchen was great. Easy access to highway and downtown, but we also recommend strolling the neighborhood and nearby park!

Better than advertised
We spent 3 nights in this contemporary yet cozy guest house and couldn’t have asked for more. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this property and hope it’s always available when we return. A couple of extra chairs would be nice (we had guests over one night). A property you can be proud of!

Great rental in Old North End
The rental is located in a lovely part of Colorado Springs with great walking in neighborhoods and parks right out the door. The host is working on the gardens which were lovely this spring. The rental was spotless. The host was attentive but not overbearing, which is perfect. All and all a great stay.
