Comfy Like Home
Wendy and John are superb hosts!! Although we never met them, we felt like we were good friends over for a visit. The kitchen was pristine, organized, and stocked with many of the basics if you wanted to cook or entertain. The house was cozy and relaxing. There were snacks provided for nibbling. We stayed in December, a tree was up with Christmas decorations around the home. All of this was perfect! Our family had come to Colorado with my mother to visit our daughter who is a performer, she was in town for a few months performing. It meant so much for all of us to be together as a family, in a warm inviting home during the holidays while we were all so far from our own homes. We all had a memorable stay. Love and thanks!

Gold Standard!!
John and Wendy are the Gold standard hosts on VRBO! We have stayed at many VRBO Properties that have been nice but none have been as well thought out for the guests! We watch Vacation House Rules and one of their bulletin points is Be Your Guest. John and Wendy have totally embraced this motto for their property! From the variety of waters in the fridge, to the breakfast bar selection, to the individual bags of chips available, to a FULLY stocked kitchen, extra linens, additional items in the medicine cabinets, assortment of games, baby supplies and the list goes on! Everything is clearly labeled to make navigating the lights, fireplace and TVs very easy! The property is super clean with supplies available if you need them during your stay. The location is great! It’s very near shopping and a ton of restaurants.

Family vacation in Colorado Springs
My family (7 adults) enjoyed a weeklong stay and couldn't have been more pleased. All the accommodations were excellent and communication with the owners was great. We really had a fun time playing some of the many provided board games in the evening after dinner. How fortunate and timely that Peacock streaming service was provided as it was Olympics time and we all had a chance to watch the events together. The house is easily accessible to sights and activities in Colorado Springs area especially The Garden of the Gods and Manitou Springs. Denver is just over an hour away and we had a great time visiting Coors Field for a Mets/Rockies game. We wouldn't hesitate to vacation here again

Fantastic Vacation Home
This house has all the amenities. Everything is perfectly cared for. The photos do not do justice to this house. This home has bathrobes, games, 5 roomy bedrooms, and fully stocked kitchen and pantry. The hosts were in the downstairs apartment and they encouraged us to enjoy the backyard. They never bothered us and were wonderful hosts. I We have stayed in many Verbo and this was the best stocked I have rented.

Excellent rental!
Everything about this rental is exactly as promised in the listing! Very spacious for a combined family with comfortable sleeping space for everyone, large family room, dining room and well-equipped kitchen. The roomy deck was a great place for morning coffee and the back yard provided a space for the kids to play outdoor games. All the little extras from bowls of snacks, toiletries, and pantry dry goods made our stay feel extra special. Wendy and John were in the basement apartment during our stay, but we would never have known if we hadn't see their car in the driveway. Great hosts! Highly recommend this rental for a large family.
