Cozy home away from home
My husband and I visited Colorado Springs for the first time just to spend a few days in the city and do some hiking. We absolutely loved staying in this cottage. The location is perfect and accessible to everything. The cottage itself was perfectly appointed, the bed was amazingly comfortable, and the neighborhood was completely silent at night. We felt like we had our own little home with a beautiful garden area and koi pond in the middle of a stunning historic area. The host communicated exact instructions that were easy to follow. We will absolutely stay here again the next time we are in Colorado Springs.

Great location and host, but….
Cottage is very cute, and well equipped. Close to all tourist attractions and good restaurants. Neighborhood was great for walks and bike rides. Host was friendly and let us know when cottage was clean and ready to use a little ahead of check in time. Host was very communicative about the issues with repairs to the city water lines (months long project). We did not realize there was no AC in the main level and ended up staying during a heat wave- 95 plus degrees. Host did have suggestions written out regarding closing windows in the morning and using fans. This worked well and I would stay again even during hot weather, but if you can’t live without AC this would not be your place.

Beautiful, easily accessible neighborhood
I stayed here with my husband, 12 year old, and eight year old. We really enjoyed the beautiful, quiet neighborhood that seemed not-too-far from anything we wanted to do. The cottage was cute, but I thought it could have been cleaner. There wasn't any particular thing that was super dirty, but the whole place looked like it needed a good scrubbing. There were two bikes for borrowing, which we would have used just to explore the gorgeous neighborhood if my husband and I had been traveling alone. The Safeway grocery store nearby (a block or two away, easily accessible) was a lifesaver for little bits and bobs we found we needed once we arrived, plus it has a Starbucks if you dig that. Overall, the stay was very pleasant, if not a smidge grimy.

This cottage was a real treat, it felt like stepping back into time. It is in Old Colo Springs, which is convenient to Garden of the Gods, Manitou and Pikes Peak. The neighborhood consisted of lovely homes, with boulevards.
