Amazing Setting!

Peaceful rural setting away from the hustle and bustle, but close enough to be within easy reach of all Colorado Springs attractions. Amazing mountain views from the back decks, with frequent wildlife appearances.

Beautiful spacious home with amazing Mountain View!

We immensely enjoyed our stay at the Bronco house! The pictures online honestly don’t do it justice. The home is even more beautiful and spacious in person, and the Mountain View was MUCH better than I had anticipated. The home was very clean, very comfortable beds, and my children absolutely loved the secret kids nook with books and toys. The hosts were very responsive. We were definitely not ready to leave and would absolutely stay there again!
