In town for spartan race weekend. Perfect place to recover after our runs. The place was clean and the hottub was great. Highly recommend this property for a relaxing getaway!
This property was simply lovely. We were able to rest and relax with the movies and games; wifi was fast and responsive; check-in was simple; and the setting was beautiful. I particularly enjoyed looking out over the valley in the mornings and hearing the rooster crow.
My daughter and I enjoyed staying here while we attended a Horse Show at Latigo arena. The hosts were very nice and helpful and fun to see the llamas and kitties. We would stay again. Thank you very much.
My friends and I wanted to spend time on the snowy slopes of Colorado for New Years and this gave us the perfect getaway retreat! Highly recommend to anyone who wants to get out into the true American country for any length of time!
At the last minute I decided to book a weekend trip for our 25th anniversary. We live close and needed to stay close. This place was perfect. We were able to ground w nature and relax in the hot tub. Bruce (the black cat) was a pleasant plus in that he came by quite a bit to make sure we were ok. H
Hot tub did not work. Grass needs mowed and area needs weed eated. The staying areas are packed with furniture. Some that is not being used anymore. Spaces are very tight with furniture. Cats are accustomed to coming in on their own. We arenât cat people and Iâm allergic to them. This was not a good first trial run for us.
Had a very comfortable stay Bijou Basin! I had a horse clinic at Latigo Event Center so the location was great. I didn't spend a ton of time there since I was coming & going at odd hours to tend to my horse, but the unit has everything you need. And the view is beautiful!
When we arrived in the property we were greeted with the most spectacular views. Between the mountains, and the animals it truly was a remarkable start to our trip. The hosts were so kind, they helped my sons and I with the hot tub, getting together some games, and were there for anything we needed. I would absolutely stay there again the next time we come to CO!!
We enjoyed our stay greatly. It was quiet, peaceful, and had wonderful animals around. We were greeted by beautiful loving kitties and got to see the awesome llamas. The living space was large and had everything we needed. We highly recommend staying here to get away from busy life.
This place was perfect for a short trip with two children. Peter was so responsive when questions were asked. The basement was so cute and furnished perfectly for what was needed. Will definitely be staying again when we are in the area!
We really enjoyed our stay here, even being snowed in. :) Though we did not get to fully enjoy the scenery and hot tub because of the snowstorm, we did enjoy being away from schedules and watching some of the old movies/TV shows that are on the shelves. Peter and his wife were great with communicating and were very accommodating. Peter made sure to clear the driveway and that roads were cleared for us to leave on our departure. We look forward to staying again!!
I've never seen a backyard as breathtaking as the one here. Its a perfect get away from a busy life! My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay relaxing in the hot tub, watching the llamas and chicken, and escaping in a place that feels surreal.
This was a great place to stay. The Larsen's made the place very cozy. They have revamped the space since they took the pictures and it looks great. We had access to the hot tub any time we liked, and tons of movies and books (mostly PG). It is not very close to Colorado Springs, but we were able to plan our days and not have to drive too much. The only complaint is that the wifi did not have good signal down in the bijou. I would recommend the owners get a wifi extender.
we had a great time at this home away from home. The place is well kept, the people are very kind, and it was just a beautiful piece if property with a perfect view of the sunrise. Would absolutely recommend to go here. Great price. The only downside for our teen was the cell service was horrible (verizon). But they did have wifi for him to use. So as long as you don't mind giving up a few hours of your calls and bothersome home life, this is a great place to go. We loved it.
It was a cool experience. No internet - tons of dvds and vhs to watch, books to read and games to play. Hot tub for relaxing and close enough to Colorado Springs to easily access the city. We will be back!
My bride and I came here for our honeymoon. Nice secluded area. Folks that are living upstairs are friendly personable. The only complaint that I would have is that dog running around upstairs could be heard quit clearly down here. It shows two single beds in the pictures when booking but it actually has a queen and a single which was really nice. Hot tub was great. Tons of wildlife. Deer around everytime we were in the hotub.
Peaceful, relaxing, amazing views and yet only 15 minutes from civilization. Excellent star gazing. Deer visit regularly and with binoculars you can usually spot local pronghorn across the valley on the undeveloped conservancy. Bring your hammock, and swing between the pine trees we planted 20 years ago.
Hot tub, 2 outdoor patio areas, ping pong/air hockey table, natural surroundings, quiet neighborhood with 5+ acre lots, water feature, fire pit/wood stove use with some restrictions and depending on the season
