I recognized the house before I even noticed my boyfriend had pulled onto the street. It was the perfect size for our group of 4- two kids and 2 adults. It was in a good location...very close to all that Colorado Springs has to offer and the Royal Gorge, where we spent a whole day. It can sometimes be cool in the house at night and warm in the morning (didn't ever freeze or break a sweat) so plan accordingly. The beds are comfy, and you really can see a nice view of the mountains. Enjoy your stay- we left you a big jar of mayo in the fridge!!

Love Colorado and this location was perfect. Close to all of the shops, hiking, and other conveniences needed during your stay (groceries,gas, and more) Very nice place!

Loved the cozy feeling of home. Just a little hint though, could have used fans in the bedrooms,got a little hot in the evening, and with visitors above us, could have blocked out some noise. Otherwise a pleasant stay!

We got exactly what was advertised with this property. Brian had everything ready to go when we got there. Great location for activities in and around the historic district (short walk to main historic downtown). It is also a short walk (or drive) to nearby grocery store and Walgreens. Much better than staying in a hotel!

Loved our stay here! All the comforts of home and a great deal! The decorations were charming and beds super comfortable. I would come back in a heartbeat! Really liked the bike decor in one of the bedrooms! The owners were very easy to book with. The A.C. was almost too good!

The house (we stayed downstairs) was clean and charming. In addition to the normal appliances, there was a washer and dryer. We are headed home with clean clothes! There are great restaurants and two parks in walking distance. We highly recommend this property.

Very nice house and location. We took advantage and took in the Garden of the Gods, a great pizza place near the college and Pikes Peak. It was great to have the kitchen to work in because a finicky daughter's food choices. And everything was so close that we had no worries when we needing anything from food to wine.

This house was perfectly located for all the sights we visited. It felt big inside we had 6 people and never felt cramped. The owner was so nice and easy to work with. I would recommend this house.

Unfortunately we had a bad experience with Bryan for this rental. After viewing the pics in the listing, making all the arrangements, and sending the complete payment we showed up to a filthy, dusty, downstairs apt where bed linens were balled up and crammed into a shelving unit, dead bugs, cupboards with old food stuck on the shelves, filthy air vents crusted with old dirt, dirty frig that we had to scrub old food from before we felt good about putting anything in there, & non-working TV. Nothing like the pics! The owners (Bryan & wife) live in another state so I don't know when they last saw this place but I've rented several places thru VRBO and have never had an experience like this. I've always had great ratings from the people I've rented from so it's not that I'm particularly picky and I'm fine with older furnishings etc but this was the first time I actually walked into a place that was dirty and obviously not ready to be rented. After 2 nights, we actually spent the 3rd at a hotel! When I called Brian and said that we were really disappointed and could not stay there (to say the least) he offered to let us move into the upstairs unit. He told me it rented for a bit more but he said we could have that at no extra charge--"he wanted us to be happy"-- and I thanked him and told him that's what we would like to do. He then sends me an email the next day telling me to make a list of what needs to be done in the downstairs apartment and he would take care of it, completely reneging on his offer to let us move upstairs, saying that he would now just charge us half of what it would normally cost. I told him I didn't think it was our responsibility as paying guests to let him know what needs to be done to make the place livable. It seemed as if he had completely forgotten his offer the day before to let us move upstairs. He also seemed to have a passive/aggressive approach to dealing with this situation. First by offering us a solution, which we appreciated and then a day later, changing the whole plan. When I asked him about HIS offer to let us move upstairs, he said he thought we should just look for something else and he'd refund our money. At that point he put me in a very difficult situation of trying to find another place to stay immediately for the next 2 weeks, which was the original rental period. He refunded our money -less $146! I couldn't believe anyone would rent out a place in the condition we saw it! RENTER BEWARE!

We had a very nice staying at this property. The house was confortable and easy access for shopping, main roads etc . We had small problems with the cleaners which did not clean well the house, but the owner offer to pay back the cleaning fees. Which was nice. I recomend the place.

We spent the month of Sept. 2015 here and enjoyed our stay. Bryan was great to work with. He was very patient and responsive. I must have e-mailed him 8 times with various questions and he always responded promptly. We found the unit to be clean and larger than one would expect of a 850 sq. ft. unit. The bathroom is huge --- normally the bathroom in a two bedroom/one bath is just barely big enough to turn around in. The master bedroom is also nice sized with good closet space. The second bedroom is normal sized for a second bedroom. The kitchen is nice sized with all the basic necessities. The living room is small but has a love-seat and a couch with a hide a bed. Also between the living room and dining area is a large stuffed chair that could be turned towards the living room. The unit only has a TV in the living room, but it is a nice new flat mounted TV. Maybe the best part of this property is its location. It is within a 15 minute leisurely walk to down town Old Colorado with lots of shopping and dinning (you must try the Front Range BBQ and Rustic Pizza Place). Also, it is very close to the Garden of the Gods, Manitou Springs, Cave of the Winds, the Cliff Dwellings and the Olympic Training Center; and a short drive to the Air Force Academy. Another nice feature was the keyless entry system. It was so nice not to have to worry about keeping track of another key.

The house was really great. The accommodations were great for our family. It was in a central location to all the activities we wanted to do in Colorado.

We rented the downstairs apartment for over 6 weeks and it served the purpose of putting a roof over our heads and being fully furnished. The condition of the apartment lacked attention. We found the biggest issue throughout our stay was the fact that the owner/landlord lived out of state and had very few resources in Colorado Springs to fix things that came up. We also think the owner hasn't been to this property for months and doesn't know the true condition of his unit. We had issues contacting him and getting responses to problems. For instance, the only thermostat in the entire house was in the upstairs apartment. In the welcome letter, it was promised that the heat would be on. We have a 9 month old who was sick quite a bit and the heat wasn't on when we moved into the apartment and the landlord finally sent someone 3 days later to the upstairs unit to turn on the heat. Three more times during our stay, the tenants upstairs turned off the heat or the air and we were left without any heat when they departed and temp was 30 at night. Landlord lacked compassion or any sense of urgency in turning on our heat despite us complaining numerous times and his promise to get it fixed. On another occasion, we informed him there was a flood in the laundry room due to intense rain, sent him pictures, and he merely responded that he wouldn't send anyone to look at it "because the foundation normally seeps" and he wasn't concerned. He also wasn't concerned when his front door swelled to the point that the electronic lock would not lock. We asked him to send someone to the house to fix the lock and after a few hours he responded that he couldn't contact anyone locally so we might have to wait to the next day. We ended up having to buy the equipment at the hardware store ourself to fix the lock because he didn't have a plan for it to get fixed. Landlord couldn't seem to be bothered with issues like most of the light bulbs being burnt out, the bed spreads being ripped when we arrived, the carpet and furniture being in need of a professional cleaning, and other things in the apartment not working like the bathroom fan/outlets. He does not pay to maintain the lawn and the grass grew to 2 feet tall before I contacted him and he finally got someone to cut it. The biggest issue we had overall was that he was not local and didn't seem to know or care about the condition of his house. He was very "absent" from managing his property. Do not recommend.

Pleasant downstairs rental in quiet neighborhood. The views from within are limited. It is easily accessible to Old Colorado City, downtown, the Old North end of town and all types of restaurants and shopping. I had a dog and made frequent visits to the great local dog park. The accommodations were clean and in good working order. I would recommend to friends and family. Owners maintained good contact.

We stayed here while in the process of moving to the area. Great location, clean and plenty of space. The owner was very helpful. Close to Old Colorado City and a great walking neighborhood for our dogs!
