This property was a perfect jumping-off point for all our Colorado Springs vacation activities. Perfect access to great in-town locations and well situated for getting to Garden of the Gods, Royal Gorge ... all the things!
The home itself was clean, comfortable, and very functional/practical for accommodating our family of four + Grandma. The layout offered great places to play, plenty of space to prep meals, do puzzles, etc. Two-on-two foosball was a really fun way to end most evenings, and the hot tub was great for winding down after the kids had gone to bed. (Despite the week's record heat.) On that note, the backyard was also notably great -- well-kept, with a fun playhouse for the kids, extra fenced privacy for the hot tub, and a very nice BBQ grill.
We encountered one issue, a blown capacitor on the AC unit. This has happened repeatedly at our home too, and always on the weekend. We messaged Erik, who came out and tried his best, but getting a hold of the right capacitor is difficult outside of regular business hours. Erik was apologetic and helpful, bringing in an extra fan, he even offered to install a window-unit. The problem was fixed the very next day, shortly after the HVAC supply shop had opened to sell him the part. (Thank you Erik!)
The house had all the amenities you could want and is located in what is certainly CS's most convenient neighborhood. More importantly, our contact Erik was very responsive, kind, and generally great to deal with.
