Hidden Gem: Heated Pool, Gorgeous Mountain Views, 2.4 Acres inside City, A/C, EV

NON-SMOKING PROPERTY. Located in Erindale Heights, one of the true hidden treasures of Colorado Springs. It is nestled away in a private 2.4 acres of land but surrounded by metropolitan amenities. Many of the area’s newest and most compelling restaurants, shopping outlets, and theaters are within 5 minutes away. It is adjacent to Austin Bluffs Open Space and Pulpit Rock Park which are known to be some of the areas' best open spaces and parks. Additionally, Garden of the Gods is within visible distance from our home and only 8.3 miles (13.3 km) away by car. Our location is also very accessible to the following institutions:

• University of Colorado at Colorado Springs (2.5 mi/4.0 km)
• Air Force Academy (3.5 mi/5.6 km to gate)
• Colorado College (8.0 mi/12.8 km)
• Peterson AFB (12.1 mi/19.5 km)
• Fort Carson (17.3 mi/27.8 km)

We also have a combined over 35 years of area knowledge to share with you including our favorite restaurants, sightseeing, parks, and more. Along with the area guide, you'll also find everything you need to know about our home. Whether information about air conditioning to the heated all-year-round pool, you will find it all in a bound copy of our Guest Welcome upon checking.

Guests' safety is our #1 priority:
• Our pool is safe! Per CDC: "There is no evidence that COVID-19 can be spread to humans through the use of pools and hot tubs. Proper operation, maintenance, and disinfection (e.g., with chlorine and bromine) of pools and hot tubs should remove or inactivate the virus that causes COVID-19." We use chlorine, pool shocks, and UV light to keep our pool germs free even before COVID-19!
• Our cleaners have been fully vaccinated for COVID-19. We have multiple cleaners to perform cleaning. We use disinfectant solutions on kitchen, bathrooms, and common surfaces, etc.
• We provide hand sanitizer(s), disinfectant wipes, and latex gloves for our guests to use during their stays.
• We have sufficient linens so that our towels and sheets are washed, stored, and rotated between different groups so that no consecutive groups are sharing the same set of towels or linens.

Great Place! Beautiful Views! And the Best Hosts!!
Hidden Gem has been the best stay by far and above. The entire house is wonderful, well stocked, and very very comfortable. We loved the views from the back deck. But most of all are the hosts. The very best I've ever encountered. Truly the Gold Standard of hosts. They did everything, and above and beyond to make our stay superb! Hint to other VRBO owners - you could learn a lot from them. Highly recommended and hope to come back some day. Thank you!

What a lovely place!
This was our first visit to Colorado and I am so happy that we selected this place! Besides being beautiful and in an absolutely beautiful location, the home was so detailed and included everything one would need. The hosts put in a lot of effort with decor and resources. Everything is labeled, toiletries and other helpful items are provided. Check-in and information was easy. The hosts are easy to communicate with and they provide you with everything you need! It was a great stay!

Hidden Gem is a jewel!
The views are stunning! Loved the rock formations. Family hiked to Pulpit Rock, swam in the pool for hours and played many games. We have chosen VRBO in the Colorado Springs area for the last 5 years. Each property was unique and we enjoyed the hospitality of each place. But Lana went far above in making us feel welcome. It wasn't just the welcome note, Memorial Day decor, flowers and a plate of cookies, which was more than enough, but she also checked in a couple of times to make sure our accommodations were okay. OH! I forgot the towel animals that delighted us all. If there are ratings for hosting, Dean and Lana are 5 star. Thanks for making our stay memorable.

Graduation Time
Our extended family of 10 stayed at Hidden Gem to attend the graduation of our granddaughter from Colorado College. The name fits this property perfectly. The surroundings are spectacular-one of my favorite things was waking up to the gorgeous view of Pikes Peak from the master bedroom. We loved cooking in because the kitchen was so well supplied with everything we needed. We even moved the grill around to the front of the patio so the grilling chef could have the view. The bedrooms and baths were also well supplied. And it was wonderful to be able to pull the cars into the garage when we had a couple of fun thunderstorms. Lana and Dean were extremely welcoming and communicated with us so well. We’re almost sorry that our granddaughter has finished her time at CC because we would love to go back.

Amazing foothill home
This was one of my favorite properties I have ever stayed at. The location was so peaceful with amazing views. They literally have thought of everything. The house is so well stocked with towels, laundry detergent, spices. Communication was excellent both with labeling within the house and with text messages from hosts. It was a perfect long weekend get away.

Family vacation
The house has amazing views of the mountains and the kids loved the pool. The guys liked hiking the trail to Pulpit Rock from the house and our son loved climbing all over the rocks outside. There where 11 of us and the house was plenty big enough. Only disappointment, the house is not private despite the description. There are lots of neighbors not shown in the pictures. The master bedroom has an all glass shower and I got to watch the neighbor walk by the window while I was showering. The homeowners labeled literally everything making use of equipment & spices very easy. 😆

Great experience
Each morning we were greeted with a spectacular view from our bedroom of Pikes Peak in the distance and Pulpit Rock Park nearby. A short drive gets to nearby grocery stores and restaurants. The indoor swimming pool is a particular treat and at a comfortable temperature. We and our adult children and grandson all loved it and spent a lot of time there. The heating and cooling are different from what we are used to, but all worked fine once we learned how to operate the controls. The owners kept in contact by text message and were very responsive. We will be scheduling another trip here soon.

It was a perfect home for our family, adults and kids
The setting is beautiful with expansive views. The house felt like a home, with all kinds of details that made our stay easier (books and toys for kids, comfortable places to sit of the floor and play, extras in the pantry to make cooking and packing for hikes easier, easy to follow directions/signs to make sense of how the house worked, and much more). The indoor pool was great for my daily lap swimming. The location was near major grocery stores, which we appreciated (Costco, Trader Joe's, etc) while still being extremely private and remote. And, importantly, the owners were 100% communicative. They definitely wanted our stay to be enjoyable and perfect, which it was. Super easy and beautiful house to be comfortable in for 6 adults and 3 kids!

Immaculate, very well organized, and stocked with everything we needed! We are very picky renters and there was nothing out of place, everything was labeled with instructions, and the entire home was perfectly spotless. We would love to stay here again when we return to Colorado Springs. The home is convenient to Pike's Peak, the Garden of the Gods, and the Royal Gorge. It was secluded yet close to everything. DoorDash was our friend for the week. After long days of exploring we could order and out food was there when we arrived. All the conveniences, non of the congestion. We loved this home. Thanks Lana and Dean! Regards, Greg
