We had the best time at Rustic Ridge! The property was so clean when we arrived! Eric and Jacqueline were very communicative from the start. We arrived to a prestige property, tucked away from our busy lives. The wi-fi was great, which was good because cell service was spotty. The pool was very clean and given how hot it was, we really enjoyed it. At times it was very shaded to not shaded at all. Property is about 20 minutes from Garden of the Gods which was great. We loved meeting all the animals on the farm, especially our house kitty. No idea what her name is, but we named her Honeysuckle :). I would absolutely stay at this property again. Thank you Eric and Jacqueline for allowing us to stay.

Rustic Ridge is a fantastic place to stay. Beautiful surroundings and top notch lodging with so many wonderful amenities. Many small communities nearby to grab a bite to eat…if you even want to leave the house! The hosts are kind and hard working people. Thank you for a spectacular weekend!

Place and views are amazing. The only thing that could have made it better is a heated pool.
