Can I give more than 5 stars?! Loved this home! Perfect location for our trip with plenty of shopping and dining close by. Heather was a gracious host, left us cookies for our arrival-a welcome treat after our long drive. She was available for questions, if needed, but her comprehensive list of instructions for the house contained all the information we needed. The house was impeccably clean and ready for us upon arrival. The fenced yard was a nice size for our 2 medium sized dogs and the neighborhood was cute with walking paths nearby.
Thank you for everything-we’ll be back!

We highly recommend this spacious house in a wonderful neighborhood, close to Colorado Springs. The owner was friendly and communicative, even left a huge plate of chocolate chip cookies for us. Having four bathrooms was a treat, and the newly remodeled master bedroom was amazing. We appreciated the hot tub and the pet-friendly environment. Book it with confidence.

It was such a beautiful property, it was so comfy, working with Heather was amazing. We will definitely stay here again. My son absolutely loved the downstairs and the "little room" he was so sad to leave. All the kids loved playing and staying at this property. It was nice for everyone in our party!

This home was a lovely place for our extended family to converge for a family wedding in the Springs. The home was large and open and we felt like there was plenty of room, even with 9 of us. The kids loved the basement and the upstairs bedrooms! The master bedroom was huge, and all the beds were comfortable. The hot tub was definitely a favorite place. Our communication with Heather, the owner, was fantastic. We would definitely stay there again.

We had our entire family of 14 here and we had plenty of space. The home was lovely and had lots of games and activities for the grandchildren. The two smallest grandkids loved the “princess” room! Heather was wonderful at check in. Wonderful family vacation.

Living out of suitcase.
• There was NO drawer space available to store our clothes. The owners’ personal property filled every closet and dresser. We were living out of our suitcases during our stay.
• We could not park our rental vehicle in the garage because it was filled with the owners’ personal property. This was rather inconvenient, considering the inclimate weather we experienced.
• I informed the owner I was hosting my 4 grandchildren, ages 1 to 10, and their mom. Upon arrival the owner informed me they staged some of the kids bedrooms with very old and fragile antique toys, which could be broken or hazardous. We had to scramble to make the residence “kid safe” before allowing the children inside.

Spacious home
We had a wonderful time in the Colorado Springs area. This home was in a great location for the places we were visiting. There were plenty of restaurants and conveniences within a few miles of the home. The home owners were very helpful and accommodating. We would highly recommend this home.

Terrific home for a family vacation
This is a well-appointed, fully-provisioned, family-friendly home. It is super well located as a jumping-off place for all the area"s many sights and attractions. We instantly felt comfortable and found the house easily accommodated our crew of six adults and four children. The back deck and yard were a great place for the kids to play and the adults to lounge (everyone loved the hot tub). And Heather was super-available and friendly. I could not recommend this place more highly

Enjoyable & Relaxing
Heather was a great hostess. She worked with our arrival time, showed us around and made us feel comfortable in her home.
The location was convenient with stores near-by. The house worked great. The décor was rich with character and inviting both inside & outside. With bedrooms and bathrooms on multiple levels, we all had our privacy. The beds were comfy, the linens nice and plush, fluffy towels. The gathering areas like the kitchen & dinette allowed for good social time. The kitchen was well stocked with supplies (spices, baggies, paper towels, nice dishes & flatware, pots/pans, utensils). The frige was spacious, clean and cleaned out to give us plenty of space. The deck was our favorite hang-out spot with comfy furniture and just a few steps down to the spacious yard. Everything flowed well. We did not use the hot tub or grills, but they were easily available. We especially appreciated that we could have our dogs with us. Thank you for trusting us with your home, Heather. We will plan on it again on future trips, if you agree to have us back.

Home away from home
We spent 11 days while our granddaughter recovered from surgery. It was so much better than the hassle of getting hotel rooms, eating out and finding things to do for 3 energetic tweens and teen. The boys missed the basketball hoop but made up for it with the inside games, and trampoline. The space was great for the 8 of us. We visited sights near by, went fishing at area lakes, enjoyed the hot tub, cooked out and made s'mores. This was our first experience with Home Away and it truly was a great experience. We will definitely do this again.

Perfect USAFA rental home
Our stay was awesome! The owners made the whole rental process from beginning to end very easy and accommodating. We hope to stay here in the future. It was a comfort to know the owners were just a phone call away. Our every need was met. The home was very clean and comfortable with plenty of sleeping quarters. Great neighborhood and close proximity to the Air Force Academy.

Family stay for our daughter's wedding!!
Thanks so much to Heather for making our recent stay at the Temple home so comfortable and enjoyable. We brought the entire family, including kids and grand children for an "out-of-town" wedding. Heather was so accommodating by asking if there was anything we needed then providing high chairs and pack-n-plays for us. Our grand children loved all the toys and books and kept them happily occupied. Also, the hot tub, backyard swing set and trampoline were enjoyed many times during our stay. The house was not only beautiful it was comfortable and very functional for all our wants and needs. We felt so "at home" that on "Check-out" day, we forgot about the scheduled time to leave. Heather took it in stride and assured us that the extra 1 1/2 hours we needed were no problem. Thank you Temple family for allowing us to feel so at home away from home!!!

Not a good place for children. Pot/pans inadequate for family of 6 . Owner interrupts often.
We were greeted by home owner and reviewed house and how things worked. They wanted us in early which was nice to Get in early. But on check out day the expected us to get out early. Owner showed up early way before check out. She brought maid and interrupted our family breakfast. Stated I had told her that we would be out.
There were many valuable toys and decorations. We were asked not to touch or play . This is challenging with small children. Each child's room had many items and not able for our children to play in or to be put to bed at night without being supervised.
The first night we wer staying there was a problem with hot tub. Would only run for short periods of time. The second night the grill ran out of propane. Each time we called owner to fix which took time away from our vacation. We will not stay here next year or refer friends.

Perfect home in a great location.
Our stay started off with the owner meeting us at the house and giving us a tour as well as insruction on how to use washing machine, dishwasher, hot tub, wifi etc...Everything was clean and you easily feel right at home. There is plenty of room to spread out. We had a party of 9 and never once felt crowded. 2 story house with basement allowed lots of room to breathe. The home is in a very quiet neighborhood with easy access to the highway. Kids had a great time playing air hockey, outdoor basketball, and we all had a great time relaxing in the hot tub. There is also foosball and lots of board games to play!! The owners were also available to answer questions at all times if we had any. We had a wonderful stay and would do it again!!

Great location for USAFA graduation
Heather was very helpful and accessible the whole time leading up to graduation as you have to reserve homes very early. The house was immaculate as we checked in and she even had Air Force themed cookies awaiting my cadet and our family. The beds were very comfortable and the home fit our group of 10 people nicely. There were plenty of towels and the spa was nice to relax in after some long ceremonies. The kitchen is big and we were able to enjoy meals together and play many family games in the living room. Coming from San Diego I wasn't quite sure where to stay as we had only stayed in Colorado Springs before. My graduate mentioned Monument and ,honestly, this was the best part of the home. The home is close to stores, restaurants and freeway access making it perfect for getting to everything easily. We even could come home in between events to let my 85 year old parents rest since it was so easy. Thank you so much for making this such a wonderful week for our family to enjoy!
