We so enjoyed our stay. Comfortable and convenient for our visits to children and grandchildren in the CO Springs area. A respite at the end of the day to relax.
The Hummingbird Guest Cottage was perfect for the 3 of us for our 5 night stay while attending Parents Weekend at USAFA. The cottage was very clean, the beds were comfortable and the hosts, Mark & Angela were quick to respond to messages and very friendly. We enjoyed seeing deer and wild turkey on the property as well. Would stay there again!
Charming, rustic cottage - close to town but felt we were deep in the country - very peaceful! Loved seeing the deer & hummingbirds on the property. Owners were very pleasant & easy to get along with. Great place to spend our down time while we were not attending wedding events or sightseeing.
Wonderful retreat on the southern edge of the Black Forest area of Colorado Springs. We stayed for 34 days, all of June and first days of July. So restful to get away from the busy traffic in most of the area. We have family that live nearby in Meridian Ranch and it was a pretty drive on country roads to go visit them.
We had a wonderful stay. We had everything we needed. It was just outside of town on the main house property and was so quiet and safe. We were 15-20 min drive to everything we wanted to see and a Walmart close by for groceries. The house had everything we needed. We had a wonder stay!
Mark and Angela were wonderful hosts. We arrived to a spotless cottage that was more than welcoming. The house was exactly as it was described which made things so much less stressful when traveling with young children. The amenities were perfect with all details well thought out. Definitely enjoyed our stay, thank you again so much!
The cottage felt like home the moment we walked in and the property is beautiful. We had mountains views and saw all kinds of birds and wildlife right outside our window every day! The property is very private and quiet.
The hosts were amazing. They were very welcoming and they had everything we needed for our stay. From toiletries to luxury towels, kitchen essentials and a welcome basket, everything was perfect.
We would 100% recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a getaway in Colorado Springs.
It was a perfect week. The house was clean and cozy. The property was beautiful and quiet. The kitchen was well equipped. The hosts were pleasant and friendly. It was all we could have asked for and more. Thank you so much for everything.
Plan was for Son & Granddaughter to stay with wife & I. I ended up being hospitalized with heart attack $ steak. Missed the whole week. Son, Daughter & 2 granddaughters stayed in our place. Between airfare, rental car & VRBO non-refundable we lost out on $3k. Family thoroughly enjoyed their stay. Probably never get another chance with our aging & increasing health issues we will never get to experience this wonderful property.
Beautiful little cottage, with enough room for 4. Very clean and well kept. The grounds were beautiful as well. Lots of birds, evidence of deer. The owners were responsive and easy to contact. The only not so positive issue was the water pressure in the kitchen. Owners definitely tried to repair but could not during our stay. We made do, and had a wonderful time.
This was our second visit to The Hummingbird Cottage, we were able to stay for almost 5 weeks this time, obviously we love it! Very comfortable for us retirees, feels like a "home away from home" to us. The peacefulness of being half a mile away from a busy road & encroaching subdivisions was wonderful...traffic is very busy throughout most of the Colorado Springs area, and this is a true retreat in the Black Forest. The owners home and ceramics studio are the only other buildings by the cottage, and the owners are great folks! Very friendly and quick to respond to any contact we initiated with them. So many extra touches: basket of snacks, toiletries in bathrooms, flower garden & deck plants, spices & condiments, laundry & cleaning supplies, nightlights, reading material, super comfortable beds & pillows (lots of pillows!). We hope to stay here each time we visit this area.
My husband and I stayed for 3 nights in June. The cabin is a charming country retreat. It has a full and well stocked kitchen, you could prepare Thanksgiving dinner with all of the pots, pans and plates available. Appreciated that there were condiments in the fridge to use. The cabin has lot's of nice extra's for your stay, we even found sleeping masks and ear plugs the bedroom dresser. The cabin is filled with the Bissels' family pictures and we enjoyed talking with Mark about his family and working ranch. 160 acres are available for walking and taking in the peace and quite of the countryside. Lot's of wildlife to see.
The only thing missing was a guest information book which would and been helpful to have about how the cabin works and where you can walk on the property. Other than that I would highly recommend the place.
Beautiful property and a lovely updated clean and well decorated home. Very comfortable and had lots of utensils and other items in the kitchen so we could easily cook which we like to do. Adorable cafes around the corner, but a little removed from the city hub a bub which was really nice coming from orlando florida. Loved the peace and quiet. Had a deer come up to our glass door it was so beautiful. The main bedroom does get a bit hot in the morning, but it was a good way to wake up and not sleep too long. Lots of wonderful amenities and close to the sites like garden of the gods was only twenty minutes. Wish there was shade for the car to park under. We had been parking under a sliver of shade of a tree but the owners came home on our last day and drove a railroad spike so we couldn't do that anymore. I found that odd and unsettling. The trip was definitely more comfortable because they were away for most of it. Their home is directly across from the cottage so it was a bit weird after that feeling like they were watching us. There was nothing in front of the tree but dirt so there was no reason for that and it soured the end of our perfect trip a bit.
Outstanding! Loved every inch of this cottage; so well-decorated; so welcoming. Super clean! Would love to stay here again and again. Luxurious linens; plush bath towels; specialty bathroom soaps; a variety of condiments so you don't have to buy a full jar or bottle that you'll never use up. And the hosts were very responsive and helpful. This is the place to stay when visiting Colorado Springs and nearby towns!!
We loved the cottage. Mark and Angela were very hospitable. It was so clean, the location was perfect and we loved that it was secluded from all the city lights and we were able to stargaze and watch meteors at night . I canât wait to go back!
Gorgeous property and beautiful, clean home in a lovely, quiet neighborhood. Very peaceful and serene with wonderful hosts in house next door. Would definitely stay again. Thank you, Angela and Mark for matthis cottage so comfortable
We really enjoyed our time here! The kitchen was great to cook in and we enjoyed eating dinner on the outdoor deck. It was an easy drive for lots of beautiful hiking and lots of fun things in surrounding towns. The place was clean and the host provided lots of snacks that were yummy. Would definitly stay here again.
My wife and I truly enjoyed staying at The Ranch. Our hosts were Super. Every room was spotless. The kitchen was larger than expected, and the best equipped we have stayed at. No question, that we would stay here again.
I stayed here for a week with my father and we both loved the property. My father enjoyed the cottage and learning all about the ownerâsâ family history. As we were coming back from the springs we saw a herd of mule deer on the property, very cute. Loved the gift basket of snacks, the chex mix was perfect for our hikes. The bottle of water and chocolate mint next to the beds was a pleasant surprise. Definitely recommend for anybody who needs to getaway .
