This property is amazing! It was perfect for a family vacation. The house and property was a great experience for our grandkids. The kids could play outside without worry. In fact, our grandkids did not want to leave! Thank you Megan and Jared for quick communication and how you made us feel at home in your property.

Lovely friend group stay

The property was perfect for our group of 16 with a mix of 7 kids and 9 adults. It was surprising how easily the house had space for our group. The owners had great communication. The house has beautiful, classy spaces but maintains a welcoming, comfortable feel. The kids loved the zipline, the trampoline, and feeding the chickens. The adults enjoyed the hot tub, the basketball hoop, and also feeding the chickens. The property's location allowed us just a short drive to Garden of the Gods, Cave of the Wind, Pike's Peak Cog Railway, and downtown Colorado Springs, but is out of the hustle and bustle. We can wholeheartedly recommend staying here on your next vacation!

A Lovely Retreat with our family

We enjoyed your lovely home very much. The room arrangements worked well for all of us. We loved the beautiful back porch with a dinner table. We ate many meals out there. The front porch was also a great escape as we watched the kids play tin the great yard. Zipline was a big success with the kids as were the chickens!!

Amazing Property!

We had a wonderful stay. The kids had a blast. There was so much to do around the property we didn't feel the need to ever leave! The kids really enjoyed feeding/watering the chickens and bunnies. The playroom was amazing, the art room was amazing. Just all around perfect! Wish we could have booked a longer stay! The owners were super nice and had provided more than we needed. Thanks again for the wonderful memories.

Best wedding weekend

What a house! Better than the photos and everything you could ever want! My husband and I were hosting a wedding for our daughter in Black Forest and this house was for our children and spouses to spend time together between wedding activities. The home is beautiful, with every amenity you need. The property gorgeous. The hosts were so personal, kind and clearly parents of a beautiful family. Thanks for a wonderful weekend, creating beautiful family memories.

Great Kid-Friendly Vacation Home!

We stayed at this home with our children and grandchildren, a total of 17 of us. We did see sights in the area, but we all loved just spending time at the house. There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out and keep busy with all the inside activities, in addition to the fun things to do outside! Feeding the chickens and collecting eggs (and eating them!) was a highlight for us also! What a beautiful setting--our thanks for making this home a special place for our family to gather!

This home is in a gorgeous setting with wild lavender, beautiful hillside, and pine trees everywhere. The peacefulness is inside the home too with beautiful furnishings and wonderful games and activities for the kids. We took our kids and grandkids there for a week stay and they did not want to leave. I can’t say enough about this home! Honestly, we will be talking about this place for a very long time!

Perfect family reunion

17 family members between the ages of 2 & 80 gathered for a family reunion and memorial. Megan’s house provided the perfect place for a restorative weekend for all. The kids had so much fun on the trampoline, zip line, and in the upstairs playroom. The adults loved relaxing on the patio. The house had plenty of dishes and utensils for a large gathering and the owners could not have been more generous. This house is really special and we feel so fortunate to have found it!

Memorial Day Memories

It was wonderful to have so many activities for the kids. Even after a day of sight seeing, there was no downtime for them. The home is lovely and the kitchen was perfect. We appreciated the pantry space provided. We ate many meals on the deck with its beautiful views. Enjoyed the sweet touch of fresh flowers. Our evenings were gathered around the fire pit and enjoying s'mores. Thank you Anderson family for sharing your home. We laughed, played and made memories.

Incredible Property

Our stay at this wonderful property was exactly what our family was looking for. We were in Colorado for my son's graduation from the Air Force Academy. The house was in short distance to the Academy, so it was easy to attend the events. The property was filled with many features that kept my grandchildren happy & excited. A playroom, art room, swing set, seesaw, a chicken coop with eggs to gather, bunnies, soccer field and a zipline. We had lots of space for the entire family and thoroughly enjoyed spending time together. We were blessed to have found the perfect property to make incredible memories. Mahalo, mahalo, mahalo for an amazing stay!

Best VRBO Ever!

My husband and I rented this property for our family to stay in while in town for our daughter's wedding nearby. They absolutely loved this property and all of it's amenities. It is a fantastic set-up for a bit larger group of people. Their favorite part was how much room there was both in the home and on and around the property. Plenty of room both on the deck and in the kitchen for everyone to enjoy a meal together. Also enough room for everyone to spread out a little so they didn't feel crowded with so many people in the house. The piano was a definite favorite as we have a very musical family. I would give this property 10 stars if I could! We will definitely use this property again.

Extended Family Vacation

Our stay included 14 individuals ranging from the parents to their youngest grandchild of 3 months old. The house was very spacious with enough bedrooms for everyone, including individual rooms per adult couple (4). The kids had plenty of beds to sleep in as well if they shared (but they chose to sleep on the pullouts in the playroom). We all agreed that it was more than enough space for parents to allow the kids to play while we enjoyed some adult conversation and cook meals without littles running around our feet. Sooooooo much outdoors space for the kids to explore safely (not to mention seeing the horses and other farm animals next door!). They also got a kick out of grabbing the eggs in the morning. The house was clean and very well maintained. The photos shown are 100% accurate to what it looks like present day. The neighborhood was beautiful and quiet. In terms of nearby things to do, there was a bit of driving to get to those, but if you’re looking for a house of this size to accommodate a large family gathering, they would be far and few between to be any closer. The owners/family were incredible to work with as well and very attentive to any needs we had. They valued our privacy when there were things that needed to be done on the property (coop cleaning and normal hot tub maintenance), checking in first to see when we were going to be gone. And it always helps to know the neighbors were very friendly as well, to give an idea of the area.

The Perfect Ending

We fell in love instantly with this home where we stayed to celebrate our son’s USAFA graduation; as a preppie he spent 5 years in Colorado Springs which means we were here a lot! 13 of us across three generations enjoyed this home and all its amenities. The drive to the North Gate on base was a breeze, the neighborhood very quiet and private. The owners were very responsive to any needs or questions we had. The chicken coop was a favorite as was the hot tub and patio swings on the lower level. The lower level living area is where the Gen Z’s spent much time playing games. The main level deck was a perfect and peaceful place to enjoy the sunrise with a cup of coffee and spot the occasional hummingbird. The kitchen space is quite well appointed and easy to entertain a larger group. Those who needed to work remotely found quiet space to do so as well. The beds were all comfortable and the water from the tap was very good to drink with the temperature hot or cold on demand. Anything you could need is within a 15 minute drive. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Don’t hesitate booking if you are lucky enough to find it available.

Thanksgiving in Colorado

This house was the perfect place for us to start making new family memories. My husband’s mother passed in July and his Dad ten months prior to that. After selling the family home in Iowa this September we committed to gathering everyone and this place was perfect! We were 2 families (ours 6 and my sister-in-law’s 4) and we were able to have an uncle (who lives near-by) join for Thanksgiving dinner. Plenty of activities for our twenty something kids with pool table, hot tub, zip line and gorgeous (and well equipped) kitchen. The TV access was a struggle to watch football and the location a bit remote (if you want to go out nightly.) Megan was very available to answer all our questions and she was so kind to keep in touch before and during our stay. It’s a beautiful family home and many new memories were made! Would recommend to friends and family and would stay again!
