Relaxing and quiet

The Purple House is definitely one of my most favorite bnb's I've stayed at. Anything needed for a stay away from home was available. Rachel was amazing to work with and communication was top notch. My only suggestion to anyone considering this location is to have 4 wheel drive. We will stay again.

Love the purple house!!

Such a fantastic stay. From booking to departure. The house was even cuter in person and all the patios were amazing for hanging out sun or rain. And the cookies were incredible- we are hoping to get the recipe. Highly recommend.

Wonderful home

One of the best VRBO'S we've ever stayed at. Super clean. Nicely decorated. Everything is top of the line from the pots and pans to the linens. The kitchen is very nice with every door and drawer labeled so looking for something needed was unnecessary. It has an awesome spice drawer.The back yard has three levels with great views. One level has a firepit we didn't get to use as it was too cold in the evening. The beds all seem to be memory foam except the one in the master room. The downstair bedrooms are down a step without on suite bath.The neighborhood is very quiet and lovely.Our advice: Don't pass this gem up!

We loved our stay at your property. You had everything we needed and more than we expected. The house was very clean and the beds were comfortable. Plenty of towels and the kitchen was well stocked with all the gadgets anyone could want. The view from the front porch was so beautiful and relaxing.

Quiet and Cozy with a View

My family and I were in town for a wedding at the Garden of the Gods. This was a perfect location to the venue, Old Colorado City, Downtown, parks, mountains and much more. We loved the accommodations and really being able to just show up with our bags and not have to worry about some of the smaller grocery items that often do not get used up during the stay. We loved the outside area and grilling/eating outside over looking Pikes Peak. Would definitely stay here again if in the area!
