Imagine sipping a cup of coffee watching the sunrise over the city of Colorado Springs while sitting on your own private rooftop deck. After your day of sight seeing you can end your day by drinking a glass of wine watching the sunset over Garden of the Gods on the deck. Once nightfall has come you can then count the stars while enjoying the deck and fire pit. All of nature's bounty is just steps away from our home away from home. Endless hiking & biking trails are literally at your doorstep in our home. Within minutes you can be at all the wonderful attractions the Pikes Peak region has to offer. The quaint charm of Old Colorado City is within minutes with its unique shopping and wonderful dining.

This property was perfect for our girls trip! It was clean, close to everything we did. There was a garage for us to park our vehicle in and the rooftop area was perfect!
We had a wonderful time! The place was absolutely perfect- clean, cozy, and thoughtfully stocked with everything you could possibly need. Highly recommend and would stay again.
This was one of the best VRBO we have stayed at, the Host communicated with us whenever we sent anything. The home is very clean and well appointed. It is stocked with most all essentials and is close to everything. It also had a garage so when you got home late you could get out and go inside.
I can’t say enough about this property. Absolutely beautiful and not a detail forgotten. You could literally bring your clothes and nothing else as Debbie thought of everything from toiletries to kitchen items. Just like being at home. Location was perfect as well. We will definitely be staying here again.
Debbie (the host) is wonderful, the adobe had a perfect location for all that we wanted to do, and it was super clean and comfortable. We loved sitting on the rooftop balcony with our coffee in the mornings. I recommend this VRBO to anyone looking to stay in Colorado Springs.
One of the best rental experiences we’ve ever had. The host was amazing and the care they put into the property and the renters experience is obvious. They provided great local recommendations, info on nearby activities, and even baked us a welcome treat. The location was perfect for us as it was just minutes away from the things we wanted to do and see like Garden of the Gods, Manitou Cliff Dwellings, and Cave of the Winds. And at the end of each day, we would relax on the rooftop deck and watch the wildlife across the road. Highly recommend!
Our family of four spent 3 nights at the property. It was beautiful and very clean. We loved the roof deck and convenience to local attractions. Debbie was an excellent host and even left a home baked treat for us on our arrival. If ever back in the area we would stay here again.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Counting Stars. I don’t think I have ever stayed at a property that was so perfectly equipped. Great location and great host. We enjoyed the rooftop deck
Loved the cute and cozy adobe. The upstairs deck was awesome. Host was great to deal with, very responsive and friendly. Close to attractions and restaurants.
Debbie is a wonderful host and cares that guests have a nice stay. The house is clean, comfortable, and has everything you could possibly need. The location was perfect location for getting around. The rooftop patio is a wonderful place to relax. Highly recommend!
Fantastic! The place was excellent but the extra kindness with spare toiletries, a baked cookie pie upon arrival, and consistent communication anytime needed throughout our stay was really exceptional. The place is perfectly located to hit the mountains or downtown or just not leave the home and enjoy the views and amenities!
We had a wonderful time thanks to our amazing host. Immaculately clean, house and kitchen were absolutely stocked with everything we needed. Perfect location for west side activities. Beautiful view from rooftop. 10/10 experience. Would highly recommend. Kid friendly, too!
My husband and I were in Colorado Springs last week and spent 4 nights at Counting Stars Adobe. This home is absolutely perfect. it was clean, had everything that you would need and is in the perfect location. Debbie texted to make sure we had everything we needed, which I appreciated. I highly recommend this home. We will definitely be back!
This duplex has such an awesome location. It’s 10 minutes give or take to the Cog Railway Depot, Cave of the Winds, Manitou Cliff Dwellings, Garden of the Gods, downtown Manitou, and Old Colorado City. The home is very young child friendly with a garage to park in, bathtubs in both bathrooms, and a park just down the street. The kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked, and the hostess even left us a welcome note and a tasty treat. The beds were heavenly! We had such a wonderful stay!
If you’re looking for a 3 bedroom, 2 bath house, look no more. It was perfect,
Great communication. Kitchen wonderfully stocked. Nice snack waiting on us after our 12 hour drive. Great house with lots of little extras.
Debbie was great and very easy to communicate with! She even went out of her way to leave us a special treat for the kids and told us fun activities that the kids would love. The property was very clean and well stocked for even little items we forgot to bring. We had the best week and it was largely due to Debbie making our stay so enjoyable.
Debbie is one of the best hosts I ’ve had and I have used Vrbo many,many times. There wasn’t anything that we needed that she did not have. The rooftop one of the best things about this place. The evenings and mornings up on the roof top with the friends we traveled with was a highlight of the trip.
It is un a great location, central to the top spots.
Grandparents looking after grandson while son and daughter-in-law attended a wedding. The house was immaculately clean, quiet, roomy enough for us, beautifully furnished, very well equipped, and had very comfortable beds. Bedrooms on different levels made for great privacy. The host was very helpful and accommodating. The 360-degree view from the rooftop deck is beautiful. Unfortunately, rainy weather prevented us from enjoying the fire table up there, which would have been a cherry on top. Overall, it was an excellent place for our stay.
"Counting Stars" is the best VRBO property I have ever rented. The location was perfect. It was so easy to visit Garden of the Gods, Eyrie Castle, Seven Falls, The Broadmoor, Pikes Peak and the Royal Gorge. Very close to Manitou Springs, Old Colorado City and downtown Colorado Springs. The house is so comfortable and fully equipped. The roof top deck is really great with nice views and a fire pit. The host, Debbie, is wo derful yo work with. Her response time is so impressive and she provides wonderful suggestions and information. Do not hesitate to rent this property. You will love it!
Pikes Peak
Consensus among our group of travelers is that this is the best VRBO we have ever stayed in, not only based on its location by many trailheads, as well as the cute downtown, but also, and more importantly, based on the attention to detail this property manager paid - so much attention to detail! She went above and beyond to provide anything and everything a traveler could need in her very comfortable and well-stocked (and cute as can be) abode. She also communicated the necessary information in a friendly and quick manner. I cannot recommend Counting Stars enough.
We were in town over the holiday weekend to visit our son who lives nearby. This property is very well appointed with our needs being covered. We enjoyed the roof deck and the perfect Colorado fall weather. Beds were also very comfortable. The owner was great with communication.
(written by our 13 yo who loved it) - This property was the best house we could’ve stayed at in Colorado Springs. It was perfect for our family needs as we were able to watch movies in the family room and hang out and talk on the rooftop patio - that was the best. The lot was just two blocks down and an easy walk to a spacious park with a swing set and park equipment and it had an open area with a perfect spot for some games like football.
This is one of those places you either want to share with everyone or keep alllll to yourself. :) Counting Stars was SO great for us - family of 4 - parents and a 19 and 23 year old. Communication with Debbie, the host, was excellent. Check in/out super easy. Off-street and garage parking. A fantastic roof top deck and 2 chairs out front offer perfect outdoor space. A delish skillet cookie upon arrival - delightful and unexpected. Fully stocked kitchen from plastic bags to spices to condiments and cooking oil and coffee or tea. We enjoyed 4 nights and loved it all. This home is close to a beautiful city park and a nature center. Access to hiking, biking, restaurants, shops - easy, easy. It's a lovely place with thoughtful touches and a warm and inviting decor. You will love it!
