Cleanest property we've stayed in!

Laura is a great hostess! All the basic needs were provided upon arrival. This is the cleanest property we have ever stayed in! I really appreciated that. She was very quick to answer if I texted her with a question or need. It was a quiet neighborhood in a good location, close to stores and restaurants but out of the busy town. We would totally stay here again. Even the kids said so!

Clean and convenient

Space worked well for our family. Unit was clean. It does not have a full kitchen but host provided plug in cooktop and other appliances that could be used for cooking. Host communicated well. Being the basement it was a tad cold at times.

The listing did not indicate someone would be upstairs in the house. It indicated it was the entire house, which it is not. It is the basement, and not a walk out basement. It had plenty of space and amenities and was clean, just not what we expected and the person above was up each night until 2-3AM each night walking around.

Great place, nice and clean. Everything you need in the kitchen and bathroom. Great neighborhood and food/shopping nearby. Convenient to seeing Garden of the Gods and Pikes Peak. The listing does say this is a basement place which is usually not a problem. However, the stairs were difficult to navigate due to the garage door and door to the stairs both opening into the small laundry space. It felt very precarious carrying luggage in and was challenging for my children and elderly parents. In addition, the king size bed is very, very high. My mother had to stand on a chair to get into the bed. My father who is over 6 feet struggled to get in the bed without a stool. My husband and I would stay here again alone, but not with my parents, children, or dog.

We enjoyed staying at this place during the AF Academy Parent's Weekend. The drive out to the area is beautiful and easy, and we loved this VRBO! It is roomy, super clean, has comfy beds, and was very relaxing! Laura's communication was excellent! Overall, a positive experience, and we would stay here again!

5 stars all the way! During our stay we had everything we needed and more. Beds were comfy and the swing set and trampoline were fun for the kids in the evening. Everything was really clean and Laura checked in on us several times. Great place to stay with a family and we loved the activities around Colorado Springs.

We really enjoyed our time together in Laura's adorable basement apartment. Laura was an amazing and responsive host for the duration of our Christmas stay. The layout of the house was perfect for our party of 6 plus dogs - very comfortable. The kids also enjoyed the use of her spacious yard! Can’t wait to return the this incredible retreat. Thank you!

The location was perfect, the beds comfy and loved the theme and all the handmade quilts. Kids had a great time with the games. It has lots of stairs, which is not a problem unless you are on crutches. I would stay again, I will be off crutches. Some garden level basements have ground level entrance, and I assumed that, so it was tough to navigate for me. The china was beautiful and the same set that my Mom has so that was fun.

Great place!

Lura was fabulous to work with. Always timely responses to anything I asked her. This property is great and affordable. Another plus was the play structures in the back yard. Baby was a bit too young for them but if we get to come back next year, they’ll be perfect! You literally have everything you need except an oven. But who goes on vacation to cook?!? Not us!! We will definitely be staying here again!

Great place to stay

This house is wonderful. We chose this house for the backyard and are so glad we did. It have the kids something to do when we weren't on the go. They never watched TV once. I will say however a note to the owners just to give a little advice from Avid travelers. A TV in the master bedroom or family room (or both) would be nice. We like to wind down after a day with 5 kids and check up on the latest news etc. We brought our blue tooth speaker and played music from our phones while cooking and what not, but an option here or there for some background noise would be awesome. :). Also maybe a list of local restaurants in the area that you recommend added to the guide book! But that's just us. The place is great!!!

Family fun in a beautiful home near Colorado Springs

A beautiful home, plenty of space to spread out, and a back yard that will keep your young ones active and happy -- this awaits you if you rent this marvelous property just east of Colorado Springs in the Falcon/Peyton area. Our family of 13 - 6 adults and our seven grandchildren ranging in age from 4 to 19 - were together for our 50th wedding anniversary and it was the perfect place for us. Laura was a gracious hostess and even had a neighbor look in on us to see if we needed anything. The neighbor was friendly and fun and welcomed us as though we were family. The property was a "home," not just a "house" we rented. We felt at home the minute we walked through the door. The beautiful art work and the inspirational and positive messages that are a part of the decor really spoke to my heart. Everything was clean and comfortable and the kitchen was perfect for us. -- The backyard was one of the things that caught our eyes as we looked at rental property and it was everything we hoped for and more. The younger children played on the trampoline, the playground equipment and the zipline. The older ones had fun with the tether ball and badminton. We enjoyed the cookout on the large back deck in the cool Colorado weather. The property is beautifully landscaped so we had a photographer come to the home and take family pictures as a remembrance of our time spent there celebrating our anniversary. Laura's home has a nice piano which our granddaughters enjoyed. Our family gathered to sing which was a nice memory. We also enjoyed gathering together in the huge family room to watch the opening ceremony of the 2016 Olympics. If sightseeing is your forte, you will enjoy many opportunities to go places in the Colorado Springs area that are just minutes from this fabulous property. If pizza or pasta is one of your favorites, don't miss Fargo Pizza -- it was great. I realize this review is full of praise, but it is everything I've said. I don't think you would ever regret renting this home for your family. It is beautiful, it is spacious, and it is a perfect place for children. If you do rent it, I wish you joy -- I know that is just what you will experience. Thank you, Laura and your family, for opening your home for others to enjoy. As we left on Saturday morning, we all said, "Good-bye, wonderful home -- thank you for such a great time!" -- Perhaps we will be fortunate enough to go there again some day. What a treat!

Headed home after a week of camping, Laura's property seemed like the perfect place to rest up, clean up, and meet up with family before heading back home. What a great place - super clean, kid- and pet-friendly, nice quiet safe neighborhood, lots of greenspace and nearby to all the conveniences. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to booking her place on our next trip to Colorado. Thanks Laura!

Very Clean and Easy to Access

My highest priority in a rental is cleanliness and safety. This one is super clean and well maintained. The neighborhood is very quiet and felt safe. Laura left lots of lights on for when we arrived after dark. We stayed here for USAFA Parent’s Weekend. It is a little further from campus but so nice to be away from the crowds of this weekend. We enjoyed the restaurants that are close to this neighborhood. Laura was very helpful and easy to communicate with!
