We're so happy to hear that you and your friends enjoyed your stay! We love that you were able to take advantage of the outdoor patio for both morning coffee and evening conversations. We're also glad that you found the kitchen to have everything you needed. It's always exciting when our guests get to catch a glimpse of the local wildlife, too! Thank you for your kind words, and we look forward to seeing you again soon!
Perfect stay. We were greeted by 3 Mule deer that were lounging on the back patio. That set the tone for the rest of our trip. We walked to old Colorado springs for dinner, its literally down a hill from the listing. I would recommend this listing to anyone looking for a romantic getaway.
We had an outstanding time at this VRBO!! If is exactly as listed and was perfect for my husband, myself and our 17 year old daughter. It was close to everything on our list in that area. We highly recommend staying here. It’s spotless inside and is exactly as advertised. We saw a deer in our front yard the first night we came and it was there to greet us when we headed out.

Hi Kristin, we are so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay. We hope to welcome you back soon!
My husband and I absolutely loved staying here. It was minutes away from all the attractions we wanted to see. We also fell in love with the streets of Old Colorado City. You much check out Carnelian Coffee and the shop Eclectic. Sweet Water Flower Market is also
Amazing. Extremely clean and well stocked house. Check in and check out couldn’t have been any easier. We will for sure be back.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're so glad you and your husband had a great time! Carnelian Coffee and Eclectic are both great places to explore in Old Colorado City, and Sweet Water Flower Market is definitely amazing. We're thrilled that check-in and check-out were so easy for you and that you enjoyed your stay with us. We look forward to seeing you again soon!
This is a cute little cabin in a good location. My only problem was that I was informed that the mattress in the larger room had been replaced, but it certainly was not new. It sinks into the middle of the bed and is very uncomfortable. The other bed was much better. I would also suggest curtains on the front and back doors to stop the street lights shining in at night as well as some blockout curtains in both bedrooms. Also it was impossible to watch the tv as it kept lagging even after rebooting the xfinity box several times . Other than that it’s a neat little place.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! We value your feedback and we're sorry to hear about your experience. We're happy to let you know that we now offer Roku with streaming instead of cable. Mattresses are a matter of taste with regards to firmness, so we apologize if the mattress wasn't to your liking. In addition, all windows have blinds to block out light. We hope you give us another chance in the future and we look forward to hosting you again.

Great place.
We overall enjoyed our stay! The kitchen had everything we needed, the place was beautiful (small but decorated beautifully) and the bathroom was out of a magazine. We only had a couple of issues. The beds are awful. They sink in the center so we woke up with a back ache every morning. I think it’s time for new mattresses. Also I would have loved a check in email from the owners. We got a access code over a month ago and then didn’t hear anything. I did reach out just to let them know we were there but I would have loved an email just checking in to see if we had any issues or if we got in.
Overall, I would recommend this property.

Thank you for letting us know that the mattresses were not as comfortable, we will definitely replace them.
Please note that we give our guests as much space as possible unless there is an issue that needs to be addressed or questions to be answered .
We are very quick to respond when there is a need to as our reviews attest to it.
Difficult to get in as lock is faulty. Bumpy steps to front door not lighted, terrible to arrive after dark and then spend well over 5 minutes (16 degree weather) to work with their lock which needs adjusting or replaced. Thankfully they answered the phone and guided me thru the cumbersome process of using their faulty lock. No place to sit and eat except a small table with the non functioning TV sitting 5 inches away. Sent text for instructions on TV, no response. Don't know who has long dark hair-all over the shower and sink. Not mine, gross. No table next to bed to set phone, water etc. Also, no plugs nearby. No tissues, had to use POM toilet paper-is there any worse quality?
I'm sure there're worse VRBO 's however I'm almost positive there are far far better for the money they are charging.

Good afternoon Deb, i'm sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy your stay with us recently. We strive to make all our guests feel comfortable and offer them 5 star amenities at an affordable rate. Let me address all your issues you have listed and if that isn't satisfactory i'll be happy to give you a call and address any of your concerns. The lock is a lock that you have to put the code in to access the house, this is to make our guests lives easier than having a lockbox with a key. That being said the lock is not faulty, you just have to pull the door towards you when locking and unlocking. As for the steps, there are no steps to the property, i'm unsure as to what steps you are referring to. We do not have any steps to the property and the pictures we provide online are an accurate depiction of what the property looks like so if you refer back to those you will see there are no steps. We always answer all of our guests very quickly (usually within 10 minutes) i looked back to make certain all your messages didn't go unanswered and i saw you never reached out to express your frustrations. I would have been very happy to assist you with any need you may have had. Moreover, the home is 500 square feet which makes it challenging to add extra tables and seating. We have placed all the necessary furniture a guest may need during their stay. We'd be happy to see if we can put a little table by the bed to make our future guests more comfortable. As for the tv, i never received any message from you asking how to operate the tv, i would have gladly assisted you. When it comes to cleanliness we take pride in how thorough we clean each and every one of our properties, i would have gladly sent the cleaning lady over to take care of any issues you may have had. Finally, i appreciate you expressing your concerns, we strive to always find ways to improve and give all our guests a five star experience.

Character & Comfort Away From Home
First, we had a great stay. This property was a terrific home base for everything we had on our itinerary. Since everyone has different priorities when booking a property, here are some observations to help you book yours...
*the owner's pictures of the decor are pretty darn accurate - if you think the pictures are appealing, you will be quite pleased, and I personally loved the plug-in scent
*very clean, very tidy
*we were pleased with the water pressure in the shower (thank you!), although the temperature control knob is a bit unforgiving
*the dryer door is loosey-goosey and will swing about on its own - watch your head while you're sticking it inside the washer to confirm that you've retrieved all of your socks (it's a stacked setup)
*the kitchen was better appointed than our simple breakfasts required, but we appreciated having every tool we might need, and then some, available - their spice rack, a nice revolving number with like 20 (estimate from memory) jars of spices, made me wish I was cooking more
*warning - the streets are a little wonky in this neighborhood - Google Maps handled it fine, but Waze seemed a little convoluted
*I see, now that we're home, that the listing mentions "assigned parking" - we didn't receive any instructions about this, so we parked by the curb on the street
*unfortunately, this forced us to ascend/descend 7-9 steps from street level up to the house - no problem for me, but a bit of a challenge for my mom - it surprises me that that isn't mentioned in the description
*garbage was the only "hiccup" we had - we arrived on a Thursday and left the following Thursday, and the same trash was in the can the entire stay - if we were expected to drag the can to the street on a particular day, no one told us - this was only a problem when someone or something knocked it over during our first night - the next morning, I had to clean up the garbage strewn in the rose bushes, including some very oily black olives - by the way, there might be ground-nesting bees in the vicinity, as they were swarming all around the trash I was trying to clean up - I had to leave some of it alone until the swarm settled down in the evening - as you might imagine, this was not a particularly fun way to start your vacation - I found a couple spare bricks and rocks to set on the lid of the can, and never had another incident during our stay, but the garbage remained in the can the entire week, so...?
*W-Fi is up to the task of phones and pads

We are sorry you had to take care of the bin, we do not expect our guests to drag the trash to the street as it is picked up from its current location. Trash is normally picked up on Tuesdays and we never had any issues with that in the past. Thank you for bringing it to our attention, we will follow up on this matter.
We also invite all our guests to contact us should they have questions regarding their stay or need any kind of help as we always do our best to make their stay as comfortable as possible.
This property really met our needs as we visited family in the Old Colorado City area. The property is secure, impeccably clean, and well updated. A perfect property for adults and small families. The full sized appliances and kitchen basics made cooking and prep easy. A generous supply of nice quality bath linens was provided. The stacking washer dryer with detergent were handy and much appreciated. Location in a quiet, walkable neighborhood with nearby attractions was a plus too.
The property is located at the top of a steep hill with nice views of Pikes Peak. One minor drawback was poor television cable service and no accessible electrical outlet in the secondary bedroom. I would recommend the owner consider adding a humidifier to the amenities for visitors needing help adjusting to low humidity and altitude. (A pot of simmering water helped when symptoms flared.) As with most properties in Colorado Springs, there are steps/stairs to negotiate from the parking area to the home. All was well lit with good visibility. Will definitely consider this property on future visits.

Thank you for your review of our property. We are glad to hear that it met your needs and that you found it to be secure, clean, and updated. We appreciate your feedback regarding the poor television cable service and lack of an accessible electrical outlet in the secondary bedroom. We will be changing the cable to a roku device instead, so that future guests can have a better viewing experience. We also note your suggestion to add a humidifier to the amenities to help visitors adjust to the low humidity and altitude. We will definitely consider this and make the necessary changes. We hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future.
We had a great time in this awesome property. Location was perfect for us. Only thing I would recommend is that the mattress and box spring be replaced in the bigger of the 2 rooms.

WE really enjoyed our stay. The property was very clean and beautifully decorated. The lighting could have been better. Beautiful and very trendy lighting, but not functional. The lamp in the living area would have been better with a conventional lamp shade. I know the cottage is small, but there was no place to place toiletries in the bathroom. Also, the TV never worked properly. The stations kept cutting in and out. and the pictures would freeze. I think a cable issue.
We loved the outside sitting area. Spent evenings out there and really enjoyed the quiet neighborhood. We would definitely come back and also recommend our friends to stay.

Thank you so much for your review! We appreciate your feedback and have taken it into consideration. We have swapped out the cable for Roku with streaming capabilities, and have made sure to leave a couple of empty shelves in the bathroom for toiletries. We're sorry that the TV was not working properly for you, and we hope that the Roku will be a better solution. We're glad you enjoyed the outside sitting area and the quiet neighborhood. We look forward to seeing you again soon and would love to have your friends stay as well!
Just the right spot for us. Close to everything the kids wanted to see.

Very quite place - not to far from the freeway
Which was nice , very equipped with almost everything you would need -
95% very clean - which was nice
Not a lot of venation throughout the house or a air purifier , was slightly stuffy , and no enough paper towels or tissues - and was a lot of cleaning up to do before leaving which is kinda annoying of them to ask when your traveling , you already have a lot going on plus your paying for a cleaning fee - didn’t care to much for that - I got a great price but wouldn’t have wanted to pay more than what I paid to stay there , which they honored , the price before they upped it .
Also 4 is a super late check in. People who are traveling like to drop things off and go get stuff - like grocery shopping - something to consider

Thank you for your review. We are pleased that you had a pleasant stay, and that the property was 95% clean. As per our listing, we provide an initial supply of paper towels and tissues. We understand that the check-out instructions, such as taking out the trash, turning off the lights, and starting the dishwasher may have been unclear to you, as they were all disclosed in the listing. These instructions are part of the house rules and are standard requests from hosts. The check-out time is also detailed in the listing and guests agree to it prior to booking a property. It is unfortunate that you found these instructions inconvenient after the fact.

My daughter and I stayed for 5 days. We very much enjoyed our stay. The new refrigerator was very loud but owners said they would address the issue. The area was perfect and the house is peaceful, clean and the perfect size for 2 people. Coffee was available which is always a nice touch. Definitely recommend a stay here

Everything was nice & clean. It had everything we needed for our Christmas vacation and was a perfect location for what we had planned. We had views of the mountains but I believe these might be obstructed during the spring & summer months when there are leaves in the trees. It had a cute little yard & patio set. I was worried about having to park on the street but parking was fine because the shared lot was not full because the house it shares the lot with was not fully rented out. It is a pretty small house so more than 4 (even if they are kids) I would not recommend. Honestly, it really was a great house and conveniently located to so much. We would definitely recommend to others.
House was very clean. Kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook our meals. This house is located near everything. Downtown Colorado Springs, garden of the Gods and Cheyenne mountain Zoo. Grocery store is just a couple miles away. Loved drinking my morning coffee on the patio with mountain views. I even got see a mule deer just walking down the street while sitting outside. Our son is in the airforce and stationed in Colorado Springs. We will be back and will definitely be staying here again.
This beautiful little house was over the top..The kitchen had everything ..you could literally cook , bake or do anything ! The finishes in the whole home were beautiful.. The only thing I need next time is a humidifier lol.
Really pretty view and great accommodations. W perfect for four adults ( two couples)
