Wonderful Week

Our mountain getaway was the perfect setting for our family of 9. The house is spacious and fully supplied. The owners were friendly & accommodating. We had a great time fishing in the pond; one evening we enjoyed s’mores using the fire pit. “I don’t want to go home” was heard several times from the kiddos. Pretty much sums up our stay!

Definitely a Great Getaway‼️

This home was very well equipped. We enjoyed the big living room and kitchen combo for family time. Plenty of plates, pans, and extras. The outdoors were beautiful and all the different animals plus fishing was good. The area was close to a lot of fun attractions and to Woodland Park for shopping. Thank You for sharing.

Friends reunion weekend

Location was great and the house was beautiful. The only complaint is many of the appliances did not work. If you’re going to rent out property, please make sure everything is indeed working or replace it. The owner did bring “substitutes” for 2 of them, but we just had to live with everything else.

Best Ever!

We absolutely loved our 10 day stay here! Everything was exactly as pictured, entire area was clean and well-kept. Beds were very comfortable and kitchen was well stocked. This is the perfect location being so close to Woodland Park with lots of other activities nearby as well. Communication with Wendell was 10/10, very responsive, and was helpful with anything we needed, including letting us check in a few hours early. Our family truly enjoyed the whole experience and I would definitely stay here again.

This was my 2nd time staying at the house in a month. We rented the house for a work retreat/planning. The house was perfect! Awesome kitchen for cooking meals together, beautiful living room to work/play in. The house is just amazing! We plan to use it again! 20 min drive to Garden of the Gods, and 25 to the base of Pikes Peak!

Atv trip with friends

I couldn't have asked for more! This property had everything for my family of 6 and my friend's family of 5. We went for ATV trails and to check out Manitou Springs. The guys loved fishing in the pond, which allowed for some good time with my friend sipping wine on the balcony. Wendell was super helpful when we needed to find an extra ATV. You will not be disappointed staying here. Great for everyone in our party from ages 9 to 40!

Beautiful home, surrounded by quiet mountain forest.

The home was beautiful, comfortable and well-maintained. We cooked/grilled every night and appreciated the high-end kitchen and large dining table. The views were spectacular, and we loved the quiet surroundings. The owners were terrific, and even did some late-night maintenance to the road after a strong storm came through, to make driving conditions safe for us. Two things would have made it perfect -- a pull-out sofa bed somewhere (we were a group of adults, so room-sharing got a bit complicated), and more seating space in the living room so that everyone could gather together. Highly recommend this lovely house for a group mountain getaway.

Gorgeous home!

I brought by best friend and my daughters best friend. We were visiting my daughter that attends UCCS. Us four had an amazing time, and we left the house only twice in 5 days. The home and location is a vacation all its own. We played games, karaoke’d and spent nights out on the balcony enjoying the starry nights and the amazing view of Piles Peak. This home nestled up on a hill in the mountains is quiet, serene and a perfect place to hike. The owners are fabulous! Definitely recommend. Angie Cockings

A great place!

We stayed here with our kids a 3 grand babies over memorial weekend. Came in at night in the dark. And it was dark! Woke up to the view of the backside of Pikes Peak out our bedroom window! Totally amazing. This is a lovely home with plenty of levels, decks and space for you if you have need of a quiet moment. My husband took our 2 year old out fishing and he had room to run and wildlife to look at. He caught his first fish here by himself on an adult rod, even reeled it in by himself. This place is not very far from town but is very private. The owners were close if we needed anything but really respected our privacy. This place is close to 9000 feet in elevation. If elevation bothers you that is good to know. Loved it. No issues with anything. The location, fishing and view are hard to beat!

An amazing experience in an exceptional home!

My fiancee and I with our immediate family spent 4 nights at the house for our wedding in Colorado Springs. The home was very clean, inviting, and well stocked. The setting was peaceful with a view of the Pike's Peak summit. The owners were very accommodating and even had some wine waiting for us after a long day of travel. The location is also very convenient to Woodland Park which had most everything that we needed. Also the home is convenient to Garden of the Gods, and the Pike's Peak auto road, both of which we enjoyed while there. The ten of us felt at home and had ample space for everyone. We love Colorado and had an amazing ceremony which my family and I will never forget. Our final adventure was a snow storm of 26 inches on the day prior to our departure. We just hated being stuck in a beautiful winter wonderland in that setting (Ha Ha). Thank heavens for Wendell's Jeep Wrangler with a snow plow. I would highly recommend this home for anyone wanting some adventure in the Front range or Colorado Springs area. The owners are wonderful people and truly provide everything to their guests.

Not for young children

The host and hostess were friendly and even allowed us to check in a few hours early. The grounds were pretty but not meant for children with the steep drop offs and rough terrain. There were too many Knick knacks setting around that were in the way. While the kitchen looked like a gourmet kitchen, that was deceiving. The trash compactor didn’t work, the small refrigerator didn’t work, and we were told the griddle didn’t work,. But most of all the oven was about 50% slow. I wasn’t told about the oven so therefore it totally ruined our first family traditional breakfast of 2 pans of sticky rolls. A BIG disappointment for all. The beds were fair. However, the sheets were too large and slipped around every night due to the foam mattress toppers. The location is pretty. Itis a distance to drive back and forth to the various tourist attractions. The kids wanted to play outside. The landscaping had no grass and very steep hillside. Lower near the ponds there was goose poop everywhere. There was a charge firewood. Oh…need a Rokue account to use the tv. TVs were useless to us!

Woodland Park Wedding

Beautiful, quiet, clean, comfortable, fully furnished mountain home with beautiful wide open views. Ponds for fishing (catch and release only barbless hooks). Nice little green space for enjoying an open fire pit and activities. Amenities were as stated. Had a little trouble with the grill, but was only used one night, so it didn't create any issues. There were no screens on the windows, but bugs and such were no problem. Also bring a sleep mask if you are sensitive to light in your bedroom, there are no curtains due to the number of and various sizes and shapes of the house's windows. Very open and unimpeded views.

About the host

Hosted by Wendell Howie

As a former Dallas banker & business owner we traveled to Colordo every year. We were married in the home and travel much of the time. It's our privilege to make the Ranch available for others to enjoy. Our goal is to share this remarkable natural setting with our guests by providing private, warm and luxurious accommodations and a memorable visit to the beautiful Rocky Mountains.

Why they chose this property

We love the Rocky Mountains and the Colorado Springs Region. We purchased the property back in 1999 with my father and brother. In 2001 we had finished our homes. Mine and my brothers homes are approximate approximately 4000 Sq Ft. with my fathers at around 2000 Sq Ft. located right on one of the Trout Ponds. (He fishes from his deck).

What makes this property unique

The Ranch has two beautiful Trout ponds with 'Trout Creek' running thru each. The Pikes Peak National Forest with over 150 miles of trails, is less the 1/2 mile from the Ranch. We are only 5 minutes from the town of Woodland Park and 25 minutes from Colorado Springs.
