It was perfect for our family visit, decorated adorably, was cleaned and had a well stocked kitchen for us to prepare breakfast. There was a nice gathering space for visiting, was a great location for access to shopping, the Air Force Academy and the interstate. It was a pleasant stay!

Spent a week at this great house in a quiet neighborhood in Colorado Springs. Easy check in and check out. Convenient location with restaurants shopping nearby. The King Soopers right down the street is great money saver so you can have food in the fridge when you come back from a day out. I would stay here again!

It was a great place to stay. It was clean, comfortable, well stocked and such fun!!
The corn toss and yard just added to the lovely stay. Thank you for helping with a great time. It was so nice to come back to a great place after a busy day in Colorado Springs.

We were here to enjoy our son graduating from USAFA and this was the PERFECT place for us. The owners are extremely responsive and helped with anything we needed. This is a “must” to stay here. We felt like we were staying in a family members hone vs just a rental home. Book it and enjoy!

About the host
Hosted by Brent & Jenn
I moved in to the house next door to Brent while going to college in Santa Barbara. Four months later we were engaged in London. Since then we've had four kids, lived in an RV for 4 years, and visited all 50 states. We love traveling, exploring outdoors, good music, good food, and good people.
Why they chose this property
We visited Colorado Springs a few times during our four years of traveling in our RV. We decided it was time to settle we knew we didn't want to go back to California. We narrowed it down to five places and chose Colorado Springs. We love it here. There is so much to do, great people, and mild weather. Of course, the views can't be beat! !
What makes this property unique
We fell in love with The Turquoise Door and More because of the convenient location of the neighborhood. It was in poor shape when we bought it but with a lot elbow grease we've been bringing it back to life! We made improvements as money and time allow!
