Great Cottage at a Great Location

Daryl was a great host who communicated to ensure we had everything we needed. The cottage was equipped the best of any vacation rental we've stayed at. Especially the ice cream shop coupons. Its located in the center if Monument with great views of the mountains and walkable to lots of great restaurants. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect

This was perfect Vrbo experience. My son and I stayed down in Monument for hockey and the location of the cottage was perfect for us to explore town and make quick runs to Colorado Springs. Daryl was a great host and the cottage was the best kind of quirky. Super clean, well appointed and comfortable. The location was exceptional and the town beat all expectations. Dining out, yoga, running, biking are all right here. Thanks Daryl!

Delightful

This was the quaintest and best stocked rental property that we have ever stayed at. The mattresses were comfortable, linens were thick and soft, and there was ample storage space. The owners were incredibly thoughtful in how they stocked the kitchen and leaving special treats and snacks since we stayed over Christmas, even shoveling snow off the walkway for us. We couldn't have enjoyed our stay more in such a beautiful place.

Wonderful accommodations

My husband and I were in Monument to visit family and were overly pleased with this find. Daryl is an excellent host and has everything you could ask. There is no need to ask where anything is or instructions the popsicle sticks were truly clever and helpful. The location is perfect to local shops and restaurants. We even visited the Saturday farmers market. Take time to enjoy the back patio and grill out. We had two unexpected deer visit us also. We highly recommend the Artists Cottage and would stay again. Thanks Daryl!

About the host

Hosted by daryl muncey

When our family relocated to Colorado Springs in 2014, we found this gem of a property right in downtown Monument, CO. The property has two separate buildings, a commercial building and a small home. My dream came true when we discovered exactly what we were searching for, my art studio that also has an income property.

Why they chose this property

The Artist's Cottage is one of the first homes in Monument and it dates back to the late 1800's or early 1900's. The remodel took 4.5 years as i was only able to work on it 1.5 day/week. The original home was only around 500 sq ft, and as was commonly done in those days, it was added onto 4 times. It has an old fashioned cellar that stays about 56 degrees year 'round.

What makes this property unique

The back deck has most recently been upgraded and has a sun/wind shade structure for relaxing in the beautiful outdoors.
My art studio/gallery will be up and running in the fall as i begin to teach art classes to home-schooling groups.
