Perfect HQ
We booked this location for the proximity to all the amazing outdoor adventures in this area. It served as the perfect HQ for this and was otherwise clean and well appointed. I would definitely book this property again!

Fantastic Hosts
Such a nice, quiet, and relaxing place to stay. Only a few minutes ride to visit family. Lots of amenities, very clean, and hosts were easy to contact. Could not have asked for a more comfortable experience!

Location is key
Property was fine. Neighborhood, not so much. Lots of traffic and loud booming stereos all night long. Neighborhood dogs barking 24/7. I would stay at this property again IF it was in a different location. Everything else was satisfactory!

Adventure Was Had!
The booking and check-in process was perfect, it was all logical and seamless. The property was in good order and everything that was promised was there. We ordered a pizza from Casey's online and that worked well. The fire pit was fantastic. The heater worked very well, but did make a loud noise when it kicked on that woke us all up. There was snow on the ground so that was better than freezing to death! The water that came out of the tap smelled like rotten eggs, but that smell went away a bit after we flushed out the system with use. We flushed out the bathtub with hot water and the cleaning supplies on-site, and black grit came out of the joints between the tub and the tub surround. There was a fragrance pod in the living room that gave us a headache, so we bagged that. The town was tiny and had a strange feel to it. The people all seemed to be distant and unfriendly, maybe because it was obvious that we were outsiders in our Honda Mini-Van and new hiking clothes. The day trips to Garden of the Gods and Giant City were fantastic, such a beautiful area!

Visitin friends on Ledford Rd
We loved staying here because the place was clean and beds were comfortable. We didnt stay a lot of hours because we were at a wedding and visiting friends, but everything was ship-shape. Compared to most rentals like this, there was more "back-up" : coffee, condiments, kitchen stuff, toiletries. (Luckily as hubby forgot his toothbrush!) Quick response to question also.
