House was very updated, clean and overall great place to stay. Owner has many special things for guest. Close to many places to eat and shop. Visited the para Olympic museum in Colorado Spgs which was great! Communication with owner was really great. Would definitely rent this property again.
Very nice house that is close to everything we needed. The house was very well taken care of and provided many essentials compared to other rentals we have stayed in before which made the trip more relaxing and less stressful. They also left snacks which was a thoughtful touch. The best part was the views! We look forward to staying again!
Absolutely wonderful!!! Very clean and spacious! Loved the porch and picture windows looking out at the mountains! Easily accessible to Co Spings, downtown monument (such a cute little town!)! It was too warm out to use the 2 sided fireplace, but what a unique feature!! Loved it!

Thank you for choosing to stay at Mountain Zen and for your wonderful review! Hope to host you again in the future.:)
The house was amazing, so many details that felt like home and were special. So many special touches, snacks/treats, and everything you might need to make your stay the most comfortable. Robes and slippers too... We were there for our daughters wedding, and it was a perfect location, the event was just a few miles up the street at Spruce Mt. Great location for our travels back and forth to Denver and The Springs, and many great things to do very close by. We would definitely pick this place again.
Our family loved our stay at this property. There wasnt anything other than groceries we needed to bring. The bedding and towels were so comfortable and high quality. So many little details like heated floors and a fully equipped kitchen make this spot feel like home. It was beautifully decorated and the view from the deck was beautiful. It was a perfect place to relax after the day's adventures. Stacy was a great host and answered questions quickly. I'd recommend this property to anyone visiting the area!
