Wonderful stay and convenient to so many places.

The home was very clean and comfortable. It was just the right size for our family of five. We especially enjoyed the hot tub as an extra treat. Hosts were very nice and very fast to respond when we reached out, but also gave us our privacy.

Fantastic

We loved our stay at Steve and Ann's VRBO. The space was clean, cozy, and welcoming. My 2 children loved it. The vintage decor was really fun. The hot tub and spacious back patio was great. The neighborhood was quiet and had a secluded feel with lots of pines throughout. It was all just perfect for a multi-day adventure in Colorado Springs. If we are back in the Springs, we'd definitely stay with Steve and Ann again.

Wonderful Place

My hiking group came out to do the Manitou Incline. This was an wonderful central location for our trip. Steve was there to greet us when we arrived and gave us the lay of the land. We enjoyed watching the moon rise by the fire pit, and it was a comfortable place to land after the days activities. And the hot tub hit the spot after a long day on the Incline and Barr trail. Highly recommend this property and the fabulous hosts.
