Perfect Holiday Getaway

This property was perfect for my husband and I with our Border Collie. The house was very clean and smartly decorated. The in-floor heating and thick walls, meant we didn't have to run the heater much at all. The nieghborhood was quiet and perfect for taking our dog for a walk. We loved everything about our stay and hope to be able to stay there again.

Great Little Cottage

Very nice and clean small cottage in Palmer Lake. Easy walk to the neat places in town and close enough to CO Springs for anything else needed. The kitchen was nice and all the basic cookware was supplied. Very cozy and relaxing set up.

Cute place

It was a very nice place to stay, conveniently located away from the hum of the city, but still close enough to enjoy. Some darker shades in the bedroom would be nice for sleeping in, and a thicker curtain by the slider door for more privacy is needed. Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay!

Perfect Stay, even received 2 thumbs up from they hubby

Alyce and David’s property is so quaint and perfect. Bed is comfy, kitchen is stocked, finishes are nice quality. Perfect little half acre lot for our dogs to roam. 5 min walk to handful of restaurants and bars. 8 min walk to Palmer lake. We were even lucky to see the star lit right behind the property over Memorial Day. Highly recommend staying here, we will be back!

Clean, well-equipped property

Pristine new construction with numerous custom features. The well-equipped kitchen, king-sized bed, washer and dryer, and walk-in shower were ideal for our needs. The owners were responsive and accommodating. Adding a handrail to the flagstone stairs and a thicker curtain for the sliding door would be nice improvements. We were fortunate to see the Palmer Lake Star lit one evening.

Relaxing

Wanted to thank you for creating such a groovy little place. As a remodeling contractor I find myself scrutinizing of construction techniques. All the details on your tiny house are wonderful. I’d recommend this place to anyone looking for a modern mountain respite. Well done! James L Little Rock, AR

This home is nice for a short stay. Bed was comfortable. I wish there had been more towels. The tv was also completely unplugged so that was confusing to hook back up. There was some confusion with extra charges by the owner after we left but it was resolved. The neighbors dog did bark almost the entire time.

Accurately described overall, but not ideal for sensitive guests. The Glade plug-in scent was overwhelming — we had to air out the property for hours to clear the fake floral smell. Bed was very comfortable but All bedding (comforter, blanket, pillows, sheets, mattress pad and topper) was microfiber, which trapped heat and made it hard to regulate our temperature during sleep. Unfortunately, that made our stay uncomfortable.

About the host

Hosted by Alyce McElhoes

Host profile image
A custom home builder for 30 years. This was a refreshing project that was so small and simple it was fun to build and create a small retreat just for two. It was an acre of land that overlooks the quaint town of Palmer Lake that boasts some amazing restaurants and bars. This little gem sits at the base of the famous Palmer Lake Star.

Why they chose this property

If you want to relax and get away from it all in a small private bungalow and enjoy new, clean home with all the modern amenities current with the trends. Get away to the National Forest or walk to town to visit the new train bridge, or get an ice cream cone at a local shop.
