Wow, we could not have been happier with the choice we made to stay at this property. Awesome, beautiful, spacious, comfortable, close to everything we wanted to do. Even though the house was in a residential area you felt as if you were in a secluded cabin, especially when we saw so much wild life right from the deck which included mule deer, a resident bunny, and a mamma bear and 2 cubs!
We had "in-laws," "out-laws," kids, 3 grandchildren, and a sister, all together there was 10 of us that stayed here and we all were able to have our own space. When we were all together, whether it was for a meal or playing a card game, we loved gathering in the kitchen breakfast nook area which was large enough to seat all of us. Adjacent to the breakfast nook was a cozy TV area with a comfy blue jean sofa, so while some played games in the nook, others watched a game on the TV. This area also had a wonderful view of the city by day and night. Along with a pool table and the media room on the bottom level, the hot tub, the spacious living room, and a hill to climb in the back, there is truly something for everybody to do. We can honestly say we enjoyed every minute we were there. We only hope to return again with the other half of our family in the future.

Sam, Just wanted to let you and your husband know
once again how great the house was. The house
was more than we expected and way more than we
could have ever asked for. It worked out perfectly
for the San Antonio Firefighter Pipe & Drum Brigade
while we were in town for the IAFF Fallen
Firefighters Memorial. We look forward to staying at
the house again next year!!! Thank you for such
wonderful hospitality. |

Your place is amazing. We absolutely loved it!! Colorado Springs is a great vacation place! I truly didn't realize how much there was to do there until we actual got there. We didn't even get to half of it and never even golfed!!
The raft place we went to - River Runners - was great. Our guide was fun and very experienced. They take rafting very seriously at that place. All employees are basically full time - they told us that a lot of the other places have guides that are college kids that just do this for a summer job. The river was running as fast as it does all year and I was definitely happy that our guide was experienced!! The gave us a $5 discount each for not being a weekend day and then threw in all of the wetsuits and footwear and splash jackets for free. So the $50 raft cost ended up costing $45 each and plus we got $15 of wetsuit stuff. Definitely recommended!! Our guides name was Justin - I think they get paid extra if people request them.
Garden of the Gods was amazing. I wish that we would have had more time to hike some of the different trails there.
On a funny note...my sister and I think we saw a bear the last night. We were in the hot tub and saw a head (bear head that is) pop up from around the stairs. Needless to say, we freaked out and made our husbands come out on the deck (my husband thought I was joking and didn't even leave the house). By the time my brother-in-law got out there whatever we saw was gone. We all had a very good laugh afterwards.
Thanks again for all of the great recommendations!! We thoroughly enjoyed every minute...we just wished that we could have stayed longer!!

| We LOVED staying here! The location was perfect for us-so close to everything. This house far exceeded our expectations. The internet photos do not do justice! Loved the bar area and the theater. Nothing beats a hot tub at the end of a long hike. |

We gathered as a family at this beautiful home in Colorado Springs. We came from Colorado, Texas, and Alaska. We couldn't have found a better place to relax and enjoy time together. The home may be in the city, but you definitely feel as if you are in a secluded mountain lodge. The deer in the morning and the beautiful view at night are spectacular. The owners are available to answer any questions and provide any help needed. This house provided anything that a family would want - roominess, family friendly areas, beautiful views, relaxing decks, hot tub, great kitchen, proximity to lots of things to see and do. We would recommend this home to anyone looking for a place to gather and enjoy a great vacation. We would definitely return in the future!

| If you want excellence this is it. Not only is the property amazing, the treatment from the owners is over the top. They go out of their way to make sure you are as comfortable as possible. Truly the best of both worlds in service and accomodations. |

| I was a part of the worship team that stayed at this house in September 2008. This was by far the most relaxing vacation house I have ever stayed. Every morning I enjoyed a cup of coffee on the deck looking over the Colorado landscape. I'm already talking to my husband about returning in Summer 2009 for a family vacation! |

| We could not have picked a better house for our Worship Team to stay in. It seemed as if every detail was taken care of for us. The house was very clean and appeared very well cared for. The owners were also very helpful and more than willing to answer any questions that we had. We were just a few minutes from every place we needed or wanted to go - the location was simply amazing! I believe we would definitely stay here again whenever we are in town. God Bless You! |

| This was the coolest place ever. It was so relaxing, and the view was awesome. The owners really outdid themselves to make the house feel comfortable, and the kitchen and grill rocked. It was the best week ever. Thanks so much. |

| I was in charge of researching lodging for our worship team retreat. This was the diamond in the rough! This was better than home! We had 10 team members and there was plenty of room for everyone. Even when we were all in the kitchen there was plenty of room. The attention to detail was amazing. The owners knew we were coming for the New Life Worship Leaders conference, so they even had the local christian radio station playing when we arrived. That's detail! We had a great experience. We'll definitely stay again when we travel to the Springs! |

Our family (3 boys) stayed in this beautiful home for a week at the end of July 2008. The owners were new to the rental scene, however, they were very accommodating in fielding and answering any questions we had regarding the house or Colorado Springs in general.
The house and yard are very beautiful, spacious and comfortable. Our boys were extremely content to play in the wooded area up and behind the house - those are some of their favorite memories of our trip! Wild life abounds and they befriended both deer and rabbits that frequented the yard during our stay. The outdoor hot tub provides a wonderful view of the surrounding suburbs/city, and many of our meals were eaten outside on the deck.
The owners provided recommendations on both area attractions, as well as local eateries that were wonderful. The house is conveniently located (only minutes) to most all of Colorado Springs' vacation attractions: Garden of the Gods, Seven Falls, Cliff Dwellings, the Olympic Training Center, etc. The house was very clean and well kept and we would definitely recommend it to family and friends. |

The house is very kid friendly. We enjoyed eating our meals on the deck with views. The owners are very enjoyable to communicate with.
