This property was absolutely perfect for our family. We loved waking up to Pikes peak every morning and setting by the fire in the evening. The kids had a blast exploring the rocks and riding the bikes. The Host was awesome as well. The property is very well maintained and very clean.

The most breath taking views. It is litteraly situated on a mountain top! It is so quite and peaceful with all kinds of wildlife. We were greeted by a beautiful buck upon our arrival. The home was spotless and every detail thought of. We had a party of 7 and we all fit comfortably. We appreciated all the fun extras!

We had an amazing visit over labor day weekend. This house was amazing!! The beds and pillows were incredible!! There wasn’t anything that was forgotten or overlooked by the owner to make our stay perfect. Pretty sure this kitchen was better stocked than my own home. My family could not stop commenting about how nice the house was and how comfortable we all were. The view is incredible and we enjoyed the fire pit every night!! I typically don’t leave reviews but this is an exception as I needed to share how truly spectacular this home is!! It’s everything you see in the pictures AND MORE!!

Our group has stayed in multiple rentals over the years in many different states, and even owned one ourselves, and this was one of the best experiences we’ve ever had. Host was great to work with. Property had everything you could think of needing. And the view/location is even more breathtaking than the pictures can show! Amazing property!

Wow! Where to start? I've stayed in a lot of VRBO's, but this one is extraordinary! Robyn has thought of everything you could possibly need during your stay. The joke became that if we thought we needed something, the answer was always that Robyn had us covered. And she did! Robyn was a great communicator and really made the whole process a blessing. We were also met with the first morning's breakfast food in the fridge when we arrived. Beautiful views of Pike's Peak, lots of living space, spacious patios and 10 acres that make you feel as if you're alone. Not sure I'd like to stay anywhere else. Thank you, Robyn!Larry, Vince, Clint, Chris and James

It was a joy to host you & your son, & we hope you made memories to last a lifetime! Thank you for taking exceptional care of our vacation home. It was if no one had stayed there (& don’t think it went unnoticed that you removed the stubborn stain on the cooktop stove). ;) Come back anytime. We’d be honored to welcome you back. Thank you again.

We have stayed at many vrbos and other similar websites… This by far is the best. Check in communications is amazing. Robyn has made a website type thing that makes your common questions a click away. The property is amazing. We had a family gathering and we had 20 people at this house for dinner. It was easy. The view is amazing from the outdoor areas. Then there was the intangibles. We FELT welcome. We were greeting by nice touches that make you feel like you're a visitor in someone's house. SHE CALLED US when the property lost power, it was restored a few moments later as we were out but we didn't even notice. I've never met a landlord this responsive but also respecting of privacy. Anyway i could go on but YES book with confidence that this will be a place you enjoy immensely. Great for kids, great for an escape from the world, great for cleanliness and hospitality! We will be booking again!

Amazing Couples Trip

The property was even better than I imagined. Me, my boyfriend, my best friend and her husband wanted to have an unforgettable couples vacation and it was so much more. It felt like a home away from home and we will definitely be back!

Exquisite Hospitality & Breathtaking Views

One of the best places we’ve ever stayed. No detail has been overlooked, whether you’re staying in and cooking or grilling on the wonderful patio and staring at the mountains or sightseeing and taking in the local activities this house is the place to stay. Robyn is the definition of a 5 star hostess!

Mountain Oasis

Absolutely beautiful property. Driving in we saw it on the butte and thought “wouldn’t that be neat if that was our place” AND THEN IT WAS! Beautifully furnished inside and out. Would stay here again—parents and kids alike were big fans and sad to leave.

Amazing experience!

This house was absolutely beautiful. It sits on top of a large hill and the views are amazing. The kids loved all the aces to explore and we saw lots of wild life! The host is about as good as it gets! I couldn't recommend more.

We LOVED our stay here, in Black Forest!!! It was SO beautiful, with wildlife surrounding you; hawks, deer, coyotes, chipmunks, rabbits, lizards! The VIEW from the back patio was to die for! (It’s about 20 minutes to a grocery store, or restaurants, and it’s very secluded!) The Hostess, Robyn, was FABULOUS! She even had an entire “BREAKFAST” worth of ingredients to welcome us there, AND s’more ingredients (ready with roasting forks) for the fire pit! Robyn has literally thought of EVERYTHING you might need! We tested out the kitchen, and cooked a lot over the almost 2 week stay, and she has everything to cook and bake, and tons of spices! All of the appliances are top notch and new! Robyn is the best! She is SO helpful and hospitable! We spent much of our time, HERE at the house! There were throw blankets and extra pillows galore, 3 televisions, GREAT WIFI for the family, an outdoor grill/kitchen, and an enclosed patio to watch the storms roll by! This house FELT like being at a PRIVATE SPA!!!! I LOVED all of the provided toiletries too! We DEFINITELY plan to come again!!!

Amazing in every way! This was our fourth stay at The Guesthouse, and our son’s graduation from USAFA. It was the perfect location to savor ‘lasts’ and celebrate with family and friends. The outdoor patio was in full use and the views did not disappoint! We love Robyn’s thoughtfulness and the warmth and coziness of this beautiful home-away-from-home. Fingers crossed, our son makes it back to teach at USAFA so we have an excuse to visit again.

Perfect Family Getaway

Our stay at Robyn's place was spectacular. She has provided every comfort imaginable, and the home was beautiful and extremely clean. The panoramic views were incredible! Communication with Robyn was always easy, and she was quick to respond. I would recommend this property to anyone wanting to get away and relax for a bit. Perfect place to enjoy with family or friends. We look forward to visiting again someday!

I've posted dozens of reviews on multiple subjects and I always try to be accurate and not simply give glowing reviews because others have. I can honestly say that our stay at Robyn's guest house was incredible in every way. We stayed for 2 full weeks and had various family members and friends rotate in and out, with a maximum of 6 at any time There is no aspect of the entire experience that wasn't superlative.

We were very impressed with the hosts of this property. They truly make you feel welcome in their lovely home. The home is comfortable and well stocked. We enjoyed the peaceful setting of this property. This property was the perfect home base to explore this area of Colorado including Rocky Mountain NP, Great Sand Dunes NP, Pike's Peak, Garden of the Gods, and many more. Highly recommend this property.
