We had a great stay. Beautiful views from the wrap around deck, we loved hanging out there. Enjoyed seeing all the different birds and deer. Great place for our family reunion/vacation. Convenient location to get to various attractions and to Woodland Park and Manitou Springs. Comfortable beds, plenty of pillows and bedding. 2 kitchens which came in handy. Hot tub was perfect. Communication with Mr. Laggart was great, very quick and responsive. We recommend staying here.

Memorial Weekend

This house is very family friendly. My 7 month old had plenty of room to crawl around and it was very baby safe. My 5 year old loved how she could go outside on the deck and watch for wildlife and go walking in the woods. Very comfortable stay and beautiful views. Very easy to get to just about anywhere. We would definintly stay here again.

This place should be your first choice

Absolutely loved the house, the view, and the quiet coziness you get for the price. Its nestled near Manitou Springs, Garden of the Gods, The cave settlements, and the Cave tour where you can visit the location, tire yourself out then in less than 10 mins be back at the house to take a nap to recharge. Just be mindful driving through the neighborhood there was a lot of deer roaming in the area.

Would recommend

Great location, great views, easy check in process. We had everything we needed as it relates to pots and pans, seasonings and toiletry items. This is very rare. Only problem we had was assuming the additional rooms included a bed and a pull out couch as I read it. It was enough space but the beds were not comfortable for some. Otherwise would recommend for all of the other great features.

We enjoyed the house it was very spacious and plenty of room for our big group. The road is very curvy and the driveway is downhill with 3 vehicles was a bit of a challenge at first but we figured it out. The views from the back deck were beautiful.

Great views

Great home for a large family. Loved the deck, hot tub, and open kitchen. We forgot many mountain cabins don’t have air conditioning yet many windows open for fresh breeze. Richard was responsive to our needs. Would have liked a few extra blankets, so make sure and ask early for those to make sure they are on site. Some reported beds were not very comfortable. It was clean. Great location to many activities. Loved the Blue moose Tavern.

Beautiful Views

House was just as described, pictures in the listing were accurate. Everything in the house worked as it should. Check in/out was very simple. Our literal only complaint are the super creaky floors in the master suite, but even those didn’t detract from the views and how comfortable the house was. Great location too, close to Manitu, Colorado Springs and Woodland Park…..and many popular local sites such as Garden of the Gods, cliff dwellings, Pikes Peak, and others.

Fantastically Comfortable and Roomy!!

We stayed here 6 days for USAFA's Parents Weekend '24. The house was very clean. The kitchen was very well stocked. All appliances worked. The beds and sheets were SOOO comfortable. There were plenty of towels, toilet paper, etc... My 2 Cadets loved the hottub. There was so much room to spread out between the 3 floors for everyone to do their homework, or just sleep. If this property is available, we will DEFINITELY stay here again for future Parents Weekends or Graduations! This is a super quiet area and the views of the mountains, and the sounds of the birds was fantastic as we sat on the wraparound porch. Complete relaxation. The charcoal grill was also perfect!
