This was probably the cleanest and best rental we have had. My kids loved going to see the horses and the air hockey. Great location for all the hikes we wanted to do.

This was absolutely the best VRBO we’ve stayed in. The property was beautiful, house was very clean. We had everything we needed and could ask for for this holiday weekend. They had a lot of information in an easy to follow binder. We had our dogs, they loved the large yard to run a play in. I can’t say enough wonderful things!!If we ever go back to that area, this is our go to!!

Very beautiful property. Private. Horses were a bonus. Near several attractions. We’re from a more urban area so the only thing we didn’t love about the area is food and groceries were farther away than we are used to but that’s just the area. Host was accommodating. Next time I’d come more prepared to make more meals at the home. Garden of the Gods and Rim Rock were great!

This pet-friendly house was perfect for our group! Plenty of space to spread out, the bedrooms were separated by more than a wall, everything was clean and comfortable, and the yard was great! Our host was very quick to respond and available if we needed anything.
