Great overall. Grill wasn’t clean and the ovens weren’t either. Hoses that were available, weren’t adequate to fill hot tub. Location was excellent and the views are awesome. We appreciate you sharing your home.

Great Property!

Chad and Emma are great hosts. The space is clean, comfortable, and has amazing views & amenities. Other reviews put 8 stars for the kitchen being dated, but it’s actually quite stunning and has some updates like a new dishwasher and plenty of fridge space for large groups wanting to cook. Great owners with clear and easy communication.

SC Reunion

We enjoyed our stay at your home. We cooked all of our meals on this trip. The kitchen was nice but could have used a few more pots. Also a different counter top would have been nice. All that said we enjoyed our stay. We used the fire pit and hot tub which was well maintained. Thank you your quick communications. Take care

Large Family/Group Space

We just spent several days with our family of 18. 9 Adults and 9 young kids. Each family had a large bedroom to themselves. Upstairs bedrooms had closets so large that two pack 'n plays could fit in one. The house was clean and well stocked with towels and bed linens. Laundry was available, important with young kids. The kitchen is very well stocked. It doesn't have "everything", but you can easily cook a simple meal. There are separate areas where the kids can play or watch TV. You are just minutes away from groceries and gas stations, but it feels like you are out on a mountainside by yourselves. The hosts are very responsive, very helpful, very available.

Perfect for family gatherings

The property is perfect for a family reunion or friends gathering. The views are wonderful, house layout good with comfortable beds/bathrooms with nice amenities. The game room is great and all really enjoyed it. We played a lot of corn hole as well. Emma and Chad always responded to our questions promptly. Super nice! The only drawback was that the kitchen needs a little updating. However the multiple ovens, 2 refrigerators were nice to have. There were lots of options for dining inside or out. Having the grill and hot tub were also bonuses. Plenty of parking as well as use of one of the garages. There’s also a nice big pantry for overflow food, coolers…Having a washer/dryer was also nice. We loved the fire pit and had s’mores every night. We had ages 7 to 91! We took walks down to the ponds and saw great blue herons, beaver dens and deer. It’s a very nice property at a reasonable price.

Perfect to celebrate with friends and family

We had friends and family in town to celebrate my retirement. We wanted a property outside of a typical neighborhood, and this was perfect! Great communication by the hosts (Emma & Chad). Views were amazing, house is a little older, but was spacious and perfectt for us. Beds were comfortable too! Overall great experience. spacious.

About the host

Hosted by Emma and Chad

Host profile image
We live in Colorado Springs and love the great outdoors! We are a family of 9 and often find ourselves searching for new activities to do outside. Being a good host and feeding people/loving on people runs in my (Emma's) Eastern European blood, so being a host on this platform can’t be more perfect for my background and interests.

Why they chose this property

The neighborhood this property resides in is great, it consists of mostly 5 to 10 (and a few bigger) acre parcels; it's directly across from the Air Force academy and has amazing views of Pike's peak and the front range, its also very quite and peaceful and a great place for walks and seeing wildlife (beavers, grey herons, deer, porcupines, etc).

What makes this property unique

This is a very unique property situated on 72 acres. The great thing about it is, is that while you are in the "country", you are literally 5-7 minutes from almost everything you need. There are also great views of Pike's Peak and the front range from the house and the property has two ponds and is part of a protected wetlands.
