Wow! This property was exquisite. To be honest, the house itself could have been a dump, and we would still probably give great reviews, because THAT VIEW. I mean, incredible. Waking up to the majesty of the sun dancing off of Pikes Peak and sipping coffee on the beautiful back porch was an experience that's worth 5 stars all by itself. But the house was wonderful too! It was spacious, with PLENTY of room for a large, multifamily group. The main-level bunk room was huge, and 4 of the littles really enjoyed setting up camp there. The kids also enjoyed hanging out in the downstairs living room, playing video games and trying their hand on the Pac-Man arcade game. The kitchen was well-equipped for all the cooking we love to do, and we made some great meals there. All we needed to bring was the food! There were two types of coffee pots with k-cups provided, which was very convenient. We encountered two small maintenance issues when we arrived, but their maintenance personnel came over within hours to address and fix it! I was very impressed with their service and how friendly they were (even when we were interrupting their weekend)! The communication with Katy was phenomenal. Anytime I had a question, she answered instantly, and was so kind, polite, and helpful. On the last day, we hired an amazing photographer (who lives next door!) to come take family photos. The photos are beautiful and we'll treasure them forever. This was a wonderful experience; kudos to Pike View Lodge!
