The location is fantastic. Sitting on the deck looking at the pond was a highlight. The grounds are also nice. I had a few questions and the host was quick to respond and any glitches were dealt with good communication and quickly.

We really enjoyed this location! The property is a real bonus- we appreciated the pond and the walking trails right at the house! It’s also in close proximity to Ferne Clyff State Park and an hour away from Garden of the Gods. Nice and very clean! Having 2 tables was helpful for meals and games. Super easy check in!

Very Awesome stay. Very relaxing. The unit was very clean. Communication was awesome. Awesome property - hiking trail was rock paved and it is a beautiful hike. Fish were biting in both ponds. Looking for a place to relax and connect with nature? Book this one!
