Wonderful Getaway!
Steve and Ann really went out of their way to make sure we felt right at home. The location of this house was perfect for everything we wanted to do in Colorado Springs and still felt like we were away from the city life. Thank you for making our fall break full of many happy memories!

Wonderful Place
My hiking group came out to do the Manitou Incline. This was an wonderful central location for our trip. Steve was there to greet us when we arrived and gave us the lay of the land. We enjoyed watching the moon rise by the fire pit, and it was a comfortable place to land after the days activities. And the hot tub hit the spot after a long day on the Incline and Barr trail. Highly recommend this property and the fabulous hosts.

College Reunion
Three of us met up after 20 yrs to reconnect and do some touristy things in Colorado. Steve's place was PERFECT. I need to find a time to come and stay for a week! He is friendly and the place is just right. PLUS, it is centrally located. For us flatlanders a morning walk in the neighborhood was a challenging thing. Seriously, thank you Steve! Your cup overfloweth onto all that you meet.

Heaven on earth
My husband and I and our four children spent a week at this beautiful home this past July. Steve and Ann were very warm and welcoming and gracious hosts. We arrived earlier than anticipated and they managed to have the property ready for us a bit so we could overcome our Jetllag. They went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable in their home. We enjoyed the beautiful back patio, including seeing some special guests, such as mama and baby mule deer and bobcat. We enjoyed sitting out front of the house overlooking the beautiful view of Colorado Springs. The hot tub was a welcome Blessing after our hiking. Highly recommend this property and we would definitely come back.

Colorado Springs stay
The property was downstairs from the owner, which we did not understand when we rented the property. The owner met us when we arrived and explained how to use the cook top and hot tub. There is not a stove at the VRBO, so plan your meals for a cooktop only. Because they live upstairs and had family over, we were able to hear them walking around upstairs from time to time but, for the most part, it was quite. The owners were very nice and were very helpful and the home was very clean and well equipped. The parking was challenging, as the parking area was small and there were other vehicles. Overall, it was a nice stay for us.

We had an incredible stay and not sure where to begin. Steve and Ann are incredible and made sure that everything was perfect. The house was beautiful and very clean. We had everything we needed to feel right at home. The house is located in an amazing location thst is close to everything we coud hope for. The patio had an amazing view of Pikes Peak and we loved to sit in the hottub after a day of adventure and look at the mountains. Oh, also amazing to have deer come so close to the patio while you enjoy the peaceful setting. This is a place we will definitely recommend to friends and family!

We came for my daughter’s 7am wedding at Garden of the God’s. The host was absolutely perfect, allowing us to have beautiful and photographer on site so early in the am. Also allowed us to invite other local family members over for dinner one evening. The home was adorable, perfect set up for a wedding party to get ready in. The hot tub was Great! And we watched deer every morning and evening come right up to the house. You will not find a better host than Steve and Ann!! Can’t say enough abt how special they made our event. Will most definitely return. A++++

Interesting
Part 1 So let’s start with booking. I booked in the wrong city and the property owner was willing to work with me on a refund to book elsewhere which was very appreciated but we ended up staying here anyway. We made the 15 hour drive there and messaged to check in a little early, didn’t matter if the place was clean or not we just wanted out of the car and had already killed enough time. Owner let us get there I think an hour early. Totally fine. We pull up and the instructions we had matched this house that looked so cool. The door we were told to go in was already unlocked so we walked in… to find that it was the wrong house and there were people renting that house already and it kinda erked my group. Owner comes running out to grab us because the place we were staying was right next door. So we walked over to the right house and started getting settled when the owner comes and offers a tour and light conversation. I’m fine with conversation but at the time it just wasn’t what anyone wanted because again, long trip. The biggest issue we had was that we had people in the group who smoke cigarettes so I was trying to get with the owner who has stated a couple times that smoking marijuana wasn’t allowed at his house. Understood. I asked about cigarettes. The comments made about Texas people coming to Colorado to smoke weed) were rude and made multiple times. I never asked about weed, I never implied it.

Perfect Location
This property was everything we could have wanted. It was a prefect location to be in a quiet part of Colorado Springs to truly enjoy nature, but it was also perfect for day trips. We went to Rocky Mountain National Park, Great Sand Dunes National Park, Pikes Peak, and Garden of the Gods. Steve and Ann were so attentive to our needs and comfort and were wonderfully hospitable. I’ll be staying here if I’m ever back in Colorado Springs!!

This was the perfect stay for my husband and 4 yr old daughter. We had great views from the fire pit especially, and ate dinner on the patio. We had short drive to Garden of the Gods, zoo, red rocks canyon and cog railway. We loved the sage neighborhood and the owners were very kind and quick to respond to our questions through text. We will be back here again!
