We stayed as a group of friends for our USAFA reunion. Andrea was so lovely and communicative, and made the entire stay seamless! The house is so charming and warm. The view from the lower patio and upper balcony is stunning! All of us had a wonderful time!

This was an amazing house for my family to stay at for a wedding that was close by. The large yard was perfect for the dogs we had with us and there was plenty of room inside to enjoy as well. I highly recommend this property!

Nice getaway

House was what we needed and we enjoyed staying there. July is very hot month and some of the rooms were warm but we weren't home during the day much and the rooms cooled off fast at night. The mini splits work well.

Let me be the first to say how misleading this listing is. Do not stay there during the summer with 5 small children and 4 adults as there is no central ac in the house. And no one told us that before we booked. There are three small split wall units, 2 of which are upstairs and 1 down in the master bedroom. The one in the master doesn’t work well at all so the house downstairs stays at a constant 78-85 degrees all day long. My children’s room downstairs (room without ac) was a constant 82 degrees. As shown by my baby monitor. On top of that, the lawn was gross, and ill-treated, with prickly weeds scattered all throughout the yard. Not pleasant for little feet to walk on. The backyard “playset” isn’t much of a playset, with steps broken and rusted nails exposed in several places. I wouldn’t recommend letting your child play on it unsupervised. My last complaint is the lack of towels that were provided, despite us booking with exact numbers. We had to go on a scavenger hunt to find towels to dry my children off. And god forbid one got dirty during our 5 day 4 night stay, then we’d have to do laundry to wash the one towel we each got? Lastly, this house is about 25 min out of Colorado Springs central. The house was clean and the beds were comfy. If you stayed downstairs you couldn’t enjoy it much without a fan on full blast due to the summer heat, but they were nice. I wouldn’t stay here again in the summer knowing what we know now.

Comfortable, clean, close to the Academy

Our extended family stayed here for our daughter’s graduation from USAFA. The place was perfectly laid out for multiple couples with bathrooms and space on both levels. There is a filtered view of North Gate. The beds were comfortable and there were lots of little touches that children would love. The host was easy to work with and we had no issues. Of all the vrbo’s I have stayed at in the Springs, this was my favorite. It felt like a home away from home for this special occasion.

Family vacation!

We rented for our visit with family. This house was perfect! Toys for when my niece came over. Yard for my moms dog who came along. Upstairs is its own little area, which was perfect for my adult children. Beds were comfortable. House was clean. It was everything we could want. Thank you!

Wedding Weekend.

We were attending a family wedding in Larkspur. Plus we wanted to do Pikes Peak and other tours. This was the perfect place for all our needs. Shopping, food and mountains were close by. It was just perfect for us

Beautiful home, fantastic views

This home was clean, had a great layout, open spaces to enjoy a family gathering and private bedrooms to retreat to, especially the luxurious master bath. Loved the front covered patio. It was perfect for an outdoor picnic and to watch a storm over pikes peak. Beautiful yard, especially for the kids and stunning views of the Air Force Academy and mountain range. Very attentive and friendly host.
