If you have no mobility issues (there are 13 steps down to the garden apartment) this place is great. It was just me, my husband, and our dog. Very spacious area, clean, well kept. Our host (Laura) responded quickly to questions/requests we had. This place is very conveniently located to shopping and area restaurants. Well laid out neighborhood for walking our dog. We especially enjoyed the electric fireplace for its warmth!

Cleanest property we've stayed in!

Laura is a great hostess! All the basic needs were provided upon arrival. This is the cleanest property we have ever stayed in! I really appreciated that. She was very quick to answer if I texted her with a question or need. It was a quiet neighborhood in a good location, close to stores and restaurants but out of the busy town. We would totally stay here again. Even the kids said so!

Everything was really clean and Laura checked in on us several times. Great place to stay with a family and we loved the activities around Colorado Springs.

The listing did not indicate someone would be upstairs in the house. It indicated it was the entire house, which it is not. It is the basement, and not a walk out basement. It had plenty of space and amenities and was clean, just not what we expected and the person above was up each night until 2-3AM each night walking around.

We really enjoyed our time together in Laura's adorable basement apartment. Laura was an amazing and responsive host for the duration of our Christmas stay. The layout of the house was perfect for our party of 6 plus dogs - very comfortable. The kids also enjoyed the use of her spacious yard! Can’t wait to return the this incredible retreat. Thank you!

Great place, nice and clean. Everything you need in the kitchen and bathroom. Great neighborhood and food/shopping nearby. Convenient to seeing Garden of the Gods and Pikes Peak. The listing does say this is a basement place which is usually not a problem. However, the stairs were difficult to navigate due to the garage door and door to the stairs both opening into the small laundry space. It felt very precarious carrying luggage in and was challenging for my children and elderly parents. In addition, the king size bed is very, very high. My mother had to stand on a chair to get into the bed. My father who is over 6 feet struggled to get in the bed without a stool. My husband and I would stay here again alone, but not with my parents, children, or dog.

Great place!

Lura was fabulous to work with. Always timely responses to anything I asked her. This property is great and affordable. Another plus was the play structures in the back yard. Baby was a bit too young for them but if we get to come back next year, they’ll be perfect! You literally have everything you need except an oven. But who goes on vacation to cook?!? Not us!! We will definitely be staying here again!

The location was perfect, the beds comfy and loved the theme and all the handmade quilts. Kids had a great time with the games. It has lots of stairs, which is not a problem unless you are on crutches. I would stay again, I will be off crutches. Some garden level basements have ground level entrance, and I assumed that, so it was tough to navigate for me. The china was beautiful and the same set that my Mom has so that was fun.

Great place to stay

This house is wonderful. We chose this house for the backyard and are so glad we did. It have the kids something to do when we weren't on the go. They never watched TV once. I will say however a note to the owners just to give a little advice from Avid travelers. A TV in the master bedroom or family room (or both) would be nice. We like to wind down after a day with 5 kids and check up on the latest news etc. We brought our blue tooth speaker and played music from our phones while cooking and what not, but an option here or there for some background noise would be awesome. :). Also maybe a list of local restaurants in the area that you recommend added to the guide book! But that's just us. The place is great!!!

Exploring Colorado Springs

Our stay was amazing. We are a family of six. Even though this property is a basement, it doesn’t feel like a basement at all. It had lots of natural light with a good amount of windows. The bed in the master was big and comfortable. All four of our kids enjoyed the second bedroom where they each had their own bed. The one bathroom was not an issue at all. Nobody felt rushed or crowded. There is also plenty of towels provided. The kitchen is stocked with everything needed for cooking and warming food. It does not have stove/oven. It does have a two burner plug in that I was able to make scrambled eggs on for tacos. We used the toaster oven also and there’s an air-fyer. Now, to the backyard. If you have kids, they will love the backyard. It has a very nice trampoline, playground, hammock, and fire pit. The amazing host, Laura, let us know she was lighting the pit one evening. Our kids had the best time roasting marshmallows and entertaining Laura with stories. Laura was the best host we’ve ever had for a vacation stay! Communication was fantastic and easy. We would definitely stay again and would recommend to anyone.

Family fun in a beautiful home near Colorado Springs

A beautiful home, plenty of space to spread out, and a back yard that will keep your young ones active and happy -- this awaits you if you rent this marvelous property just east of Colorado Springs in the Falcon/Peyton area. Our family of 13 - 6 adults and our seven grandchildren ranging in age from 4 to 19 - were together for our 50th wedding anniversary and it was the perfect place for us. Laura was a gracious hostess and even had a neighbor look in on us to see if we needed anything. The neighbor was friendly and fun and welcomed us as though we were family. The property was a "home," not just a "house" we rented. We felt at home the minute we walked through the door. The beautiful art work and the inspirational and positive messages that are a part of the decor really spoke to my heart. Everything was clean and comfortable and the kitchen was perfect for us. -- The backyard was one of the things that caught our eyes as we looked at rental property and it was everything we hoped for and more. The younger children played on the trampoline, the playground equipment and the zipline. The older ones had fun with the tether ball and badminton. We enjoyed the cookout on the large back deck in the cool Colorado weather. The property is beautifully landscaped so we had a photographer come to the home and take family pictures as a remembrance of our time spent there celebrating our anniversary. Laura's home has a nice piano which our granddaughters enjoyed. Our family gathered to sing which was a nice memory. We also enjoyed gathering together in the huge family room to watch the opening ceremony of the 2016 Olympics. If sightseeing is your forte, you will enjoy many opportunities to go places in the Colorado Springs area that are just minutes from this fabulous property. If pizza or pasta is one of your favorites, don't miss Fargo Pizza -- it was great. I realize this review is full of praise, but it is everything I've said. I don't think you would ever regret renting this home for your family. It is beautiful, it is spacious, and it is a perfect place for children. If you do rent it, I wish you joy -- I know that is just what you will experience. Thank you, Laura and your family, for opening your home for others to enjoy. As we left on Saturday morning, we all said, "Good-bye, wonderful home -- thank you for such a great time!" -- Perhaps we will be fortunate enough to go there again some day. What a treat!

Headed home after a week of camping, Laura's property seemed like the perfect place to rest up, clean up, and meet up with family before heading back home. What a great place - super clean, kid- and pet-friendly, nice quiet safe neighborhood, lots of greenspace and nearby to all the conveniences. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to booking her place on our next trip to Colorado. Thanks Laura!

About the host

Hosted by Laura Schlup

Host profile image
Our family has enjoyed growing up in our small community outside of Colorado Springs. All the conveniences have grown up around us since 1999 to become a town just outside of the city.

Why they chose this property

We chose High Plains Retreat because we desired a large lot for our growing family with space to run, jump, play and build! Our neighborhood schools, parks, recreation centers and walking paths are nearby. The hiking trails of Black Forest and Peyton are just a few miles drive and the hot-spots of Colorado Tourism are within 15-30 minutes. Our home provides the space to entertain friends and family while the children play with friends on the back yard play equipment.

What makes this property unique

Our large lot provides room to separate from neighboring homes; our outdoor play equipment offers hours of fun and our big screen tv, books, games, and WiFi offers entertainment and relaxation for all ages.
