Absolutely Perfect
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.

Steve and Ann are wonderful hosts, super responsive, and the property is perfect. Comfy, clean, well stocked. Great back patio and the kids enjoyed the yard swing and seesaw and the hot tub!! Easy walks and drives to all the amazing hikes around the area. We saw bobcats and deer on our daily walks around the neighborhood. Couldn't have asked for a better place!

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!!

Family stay with views, great location, wildlife
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!

The best host and hostess
My family of 4 stayed for 3 nights/4 days. Steve and Ann are wonderful people, this is a very comfortable setting. We felt at home. As someone else mentioned they have all the amenities you could think of. This is centrally located and easy to get to all the tourists destinations, then come “home” and relax. We were able to see a doe and her fawn in the mornings and witnessed the super moon by fire at night, Highly recommended!

Perfect Colorado Getaway
We loved our stay at Steve & Ann’s home. The beds were very comfortable, cleanliness is a huge priority of theirs and it shows, and the outdoor area is great for a family. We had a two deer along with a baby fawn peaking in at us and even eating out of my son’s hand. Steve and Ann are very kind and accommodating to make sure we had everything needed to make te stay enjoyable. This home exceeded our expectations and we will definitely be back if visiting Colorado Springs area.

This was a perfectly beautiful, restful place to stay in Colorado Springs. It was far enough away from the bustle of town to be so peaceful, yet close enough to do all of the things we wanted to do! Steve and Ann were delightful and responsive hosts. Their place was all that we wanted!

Great location
Great location, very close to Garden of the Gods and just a short drive to so many other things to see. House was clean and comfortable for our family. We especially loved the hot tub and seeing deer just outside the patio and throughout the neighborhood. Owners are friendly and helpful but not obtrusive. We will definitely stay here again when in the area.

Quiet setting but close to everything
We had a perfect stay and Steve was great to work with. House was exactly as described, very clean and bonus view of Pike's Peak directly from the back patio area. Family of 4 had plenty of room and took advantage of the fire pit area, the BBQ seating area, the fun swing, and the hot tub! Visiting deer each evening was fun too. Very close to local attractions while being able to get away from it all back to home base in the evening. Hope to stay again and will definitely recommend.

LGBTQ caution
The owners live upstairs and, when we met them, expressed opinions about transgender people that made their disrespect clear. I doubt I would have felt comfortable staying here if I had been with my female partner instead of my mother. VRBO states: Our principles are: Trust Safety Respect We expect every member of our community to show respect and tolerance in their interactions. The owners did not follow these principles.

Great home base for family trip and small gathering
Thi was a great retreat and time for our family to celebrate our son's bday and share the occassion with some of his friends. Steve and Ann were superb hosts. It was great to meet Steve when we checked in. He explained everything we needed to ensure we had a smoothe visit. The hot tub was warm and inviting, the kitchen well-equipped and accomodations were spacious. We felt like we had the place to ourselves. We had 3 vehicles on Saturday evening without any issues. So glad to find this home away from home, looking forward to next time!
