With I 25 very close, the location of this spacious house was great. The water was hot, the TV was good for screen mirroring, easy access locks, on and on.
We were very pleased and certainly appreciate the communication received from owners.

My husband and son came to the Springs to visit our daughter for thanksgiving. The house was perfect for us. Lots of space! Beds were very comfortable! Love this place. Look no more BOOK NOW!

We stayed for nearly 2 weeks, for an extended family issue. Lovely kitchen and shared space. Having second bedroom, bath and ‘family room’ space on lower level (separate from main floor bedroom and bath) really let us all also have some quiet, private time as needed. Would stay again for sure.

My husband and I have stayed at several VRBO rentals, in Colorado, Arizona, as well as other states. This house was the cleanest house to date. Beautifully appointed. Its location was close to everything we needed or wanted to do. We will highly recommend this property to friends and family. As for us, we will definitely book this property again. We so enjoyed ourselves!

The property is close to everything and very tastefully decorated. It was nice not having to travel far for walking trails, places to eat and planned activities. We really enjoyed our stay.

The home more than met our needs. I loved walking the neighbor and was a perfect stepping off location for our visits to so much in the Colorado Springs area. And the home offered all the amenities we needed.

The house has all the comforts needed and is in a fantastic location very close to downtown. We stayed with our nephews and our 5 year old nephew loved all the Tesla decor.
5.0
The home was beautiful and the location was perfect. It was a quiet, safe neighborhood within 10 minutes of pretty much everything we wanted to do. My only complaint was that the AC units were not able to keep the basement bedroom at a comfortable sleeping temperature (note: it was 99 degrees outside our entire trip). I did contact the host and they were very kind and stated they would look into it for future guests. The upstairs areas were very comfortable. I would definitely stay here again, the home had an open layout and many amenities that made our stay very comfortable. The requirements for "check out" where very minimal as well and I loved that. It made our last day way easier than some other homes. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay!

This is the second visit my wife and I have made at the Tesla house along with my brother and sister-in-law. The lay out of the home worked very well for us.
Our hosts were in contact with us upon arrival to make sure everything was in order, and that we did not need anything.
The location is in a very quiet neighborhood, but close to many attractions in the area. We enjoyed Old Colorado City for shopping. Garden of the Gods for hiking, and the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. If you don't mind a 40 minute drive, we highly recommend 11 Mile Canyon. It is more of a driving tour through the area with many stops along the way to take in the sights.
Our hosts were in contact with us upon arrival to make sure we did not need anything.

What a cool house and beautifully decorated. The night we arrived, I was so dizzy from the elevation, I had to hang on in order to read the ceiling. My only regret was not playing a few games of foosball. Lovely neighborhood and I love being close to Old Colorado city.

This was a quick planned trip to visit my son at the USAFA and get him away for a few days. The home was very clean and offered everything we needed. Close to downtown, shopping and great places to eat. We left to ski in Breckenridge and got there faster than people who drove from Denver. Thank you Mary Kay for great communication and well designed home.

This an absolute must stay if you’re looking for a place with 4 people. Two full bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a nicely stocked kitchen with a very open floor plan. I will certainly be back! The location is quiet but also near everything! Consider this rental if you’re coming to Colorado Springs. Thanks for an awesome stay!

This property was centrally located and convenient to most popular sights. It was a cozy, comfortable home away from
home. The house is equipped with most of the “extra” stuff you need. The foosball table is definitely a bonus. Would definitely rent this property again and would recommend it to family and friends.

Came to COS for sons birthday and to visit with family. The house was a perfect place to relax and rest after busy days.
Loved the location to downtown, we walked to breakfast and rode lime scooters, located just 2 blocks , many time during our stay. Will look to book here again if it’s available!

We loved this little home! It had everything g my husband and I needed to have a great weekend in COS visiting our daughter. The location couldn’t be beat; close to OCC for shopping and snacks, and to downtown for dinner and nightlife. Plus, we had space to stretch out and get some work done, too. The location felt safe, even with its proximity to the interstate. Would definitely rent it again.

Excellent stay! It is on a corner but is very quiet. This home has everything you can think of to make the comfortable. The property manager contacted me once a day via email to check to make sure everything we needed was there or if we had questions regarding things to do or places to eat. This was really going above and beyond. It’s close to downtown so lots of food, bars and shops. Will definitely stay again!

Good location close to lots of restaurants and many attractions. House worked well for our family and friends so we could separate people who would sleep later on a different floor so as to not disturb.

This was a great stay! It was convenient to downtown and I-25 and we had no issues with street parking. The property was very clean and a great option for coworkers since the bedrooms and bathrooms felt like two separate places. Even though we didn't cook, the kitchen was fully stocked in case we needed to. My only request is for the closets to have more hangers!

This property is very noisy. My partner and I didn't even stay the last night. We spent money to get a hotel room even though we were already paid for 1 more night. Nice place just very noisy after dark, wouldn't stay again.
