Whether information about air conditioning to the heated all-year-round pool, you will find it all in a bound copy of our Guest Welcome upon checking.

Guests' safety is our #1 priority:
• Our pool is safe! Per CDC: "There is no evidence that COVID-19 can be spread to humans through the use of pools and hot tubs. Proper operation, maintenance, and disinfection (e.g., with chlorine and bromine) of pools and hot tubs should remove or inactivate the virus that causes COVID-19." We use chlorine, pool shocks, and UV light to keep our pool germs free even before COVID-19!
• Our cleaners have been fully vaccinated for COVID-19. We have multiple cleaners to perform cleaning. We use disinfectant solutions on kitchen, bathrooms, and common surfaces, etc.
• We provide hand sanitizer(s), disinfectant wipes, and latex gloves for our guests to use during their stays.
• We have sufficient linens so that our towels and sheets are washed, stored, and rotated between different groups so that no consecutive groups are sharing the same set of towels or linens.

House was stocked with so much. Really can pack light staying here. Great location. We could be at South Gate to USAFA in minutes. So much close by yet feel away. Very clean. Excellent communication with owner (who is very kind btw). Beautiful view out back. Attached some pictures of view from deck (which we spent a lot of time on relaxing on large sofa). Highly recommend.

Just got back from an incredible stay in Colorado Springs, and this home was the icing on the cake for our vacation. The amenities were top-notch, well stocked kitchen, cozy living area, and a stunning view of the mountains. We felt right at home! It felt like being invited to a family members home; we had literally EVERYTHING we needed.What I loved most was the peaceful, private setting. It felt like you were high on a mountain but you’re really just a stones throw away from the city’s conveniences.

Amazing foothill home

This was one of my favorite properties I have ever stayed at. The location was so peaceful with amazing views. They literally have thought of everything. The house is so well stocked with towels, laundry detergent, spices. Communication was excellent both with labeling within the house and with text messages from hosts. It was a perfect long weekend get away.

Great Place! Beautiful Views! And the Best Hosts!!

Hidden Gem has been the best stay by far and above. The entire house is wonderful, well stocked, and very very comfortable. We loved the views from the back deck. But most of all are the hosts. The very best I've ever encountered. Truly the Gold Standard of hosts. They did everything, and above and beyond to make our stay superb! Hint to other VRBO owners - you could learn a lot from them. Highly recommended and hope to come back some day. Thank you!

What a lovely place!

This was our first visit to Colorado and I am so happy that we selected this place! Besides being beautiful and in an absolutely beautiful location, the home was so detailed and included everything one would need. The hosts put in a lot of effort with decor and resources. Everything is labeled, toiletries and other helpful items are provided. Check-in and information was easy. The hosts are easy to communicate with and they provide you with everything you need! It was a great stay!

Colorado Springs Paradise

Hidden Gem is our favorite vacation home and we have stayed in many. Pre and post communication with the owners was prompt and friendly. From North Denver the drive was only 90 minutes. HIdden Gem was spotless and beautiful. There were ample beds for our 3 generation group. Oh, those beds were a dream. Slept better at Hidden Gem than we do at home! The large dining room table fit all 8 of us for cherished family meals and game time. The highlight was the clean indoor lap pool. It was spacious enough for the entire family to swim/play at the same time. Swimming laps at daybreak was peaceful and energizing. The back patio has an unobstructed gorgeous view of the Rocky Mountains. We sat there to watch the evening fade and sparkling stars appear. Astrology apps were interestingly helpful. Hidden Gem is the perfect name for this amazing home. Book it.

Hidden Gem is a jewel!

The views are stunning! Loved the rock formations. Family hiked to Pulpit Rock, swam in the pool for hours and played many games. We have chosen VRBO in the Colorado Springs area for the last 5 years. Each property was unique and we enjoyed the hospitality of each place. But Lana went far above in making us feel welcome. It wasn't just the welcome note, Memorial Day decor, flowers and a plate of cookies, which was more than enough, but she also checked in a couple of times to make sure our accommodations were okay. OH! I forgot the towel animals that delighted us all. If there are ratings for hosting, Dean and Lana are 5 star. Thanks for making our stay memorable.

Great experience

Each morning we were greeted with a spectacular view from our bedroom of Pikes Peak in the distance and Pulpit Rock Park nearby. A short drive gets to nearby grocery stores and restaurants. The indoor swimming pool is a particular treat and at a comfortable temperature. We and our adult children and grandson all loved it and spent a lot of time there. The heating and cooling are different from what we are used to, but all worked fine once we learned how to operate the controls. The owners kept in contact by text message and were very responsive. We will be scheduling another trip here soon.

We do understand that you desire to have a wonderful experience when you travel, because we, too, love to travel…30+ countries thus far. We have discovered our Hidden Gem and want to share it with our fellow travelers to show how much we love Colorado! We believe that, while you stay in our unique home for however long, you will be relaxed, comfortable, and mostly importantly enjoying a Colorado experience. Welcome to our corner of the beautiful Colorado!

Why they chose this property

• Breathtaking views of Pikes Peak, Pulpit Rock, and Garden of the Gods
• Central location: Quick access to a variety of restaurants, shops, mall, and parks
• Retreating to a quiet, serene place while enjoying the city life minutes away
• Enjoying Southwestern style with a touch of contemporary
• A/C in the sleeping quarters
• The entire property will be solely yours during your stay

What makes this property unique

Our vacation home has so many unique characters from a Southwestern adobe style, private balcony, heated lap pool, and 2.4 acres of land right in the middle of the city! The direct gorgeous mountain views of Pulpit Rock, Garden of the Gods, and Pikes Peak are all within visible distance!

The entire vacation home will be solely yours during your stay. Our property is great for hiking including our 2.4 acres of land and rock formations for you to explore. You may hike to Pulpit Rock directly from Hidden Gem if you are the adventure types. Hiking time is up to 40 minutes depending on physical fitness (depending on physical fitness and a good sense of direction) by crossing unmarked paths, ravines, and rock formations to get there. This is an area with great glimpse of wildlife.

Note, during winter season, in [rare] case of heavy snow, it is highly recommended that you travel in a high clearance and four-wheel drive capable vehicle with good winter tires in order to get through our paved but steep driveway. Otherwise, we would recommend parking the vehicles in the immediate cul-de-sac area.
