We really enjoyed our stay at this location. It is very walkable to town with great restaurants, shops and bars. It is also a very short drive to all the locations - Pike's Peak, Garden of the Gods and other towns to explore like Manitou Springs. The house had everything we needed and we loved hanging out with our dogs in the fenced in yard. We were all very comfortable here and I would stay here again the next time we visit this area.
Our stay at the house was great, shopping was close by and always a good time. The pet areas were very nice as usual. The hosts were great and available. The house was very clean and the neighborhood was great. Always nice staying there.
Cute historic style house in an Old Colorado City neighborhood. Quiet overnight and within walking distance of the Colorado Ave stores and restaurants. Well appointed house.
The house was wonderful! The towels, amenities, dishes, neighborhood, etc were perfect. If I had to find anything to mention as a flaw, it would be that itâs noisy/creaky. It is an older home with floating pergola flooring, so it does creak. This also causes the beds to be noisy when moving in them at night. Last would be the smell of dog. It hits you when you enter but it quickly leaves your senses. I am an animal lover. We too have 2 dogs, so we understand how that occurs. All in all it was a great place to stay and I would recommend it! The flaws are not a reason to steer clear. Great place and the owners do pay attention to all the details! Thank you!
Great property in Old Colorado City. Easily walkable to the main shopping/entertainment/dining district. Property was clean and exactly as described. Off street parking was a huge benefit. We arrived early and they allowed us to check in early which permitted us to enjoy the area after unpacking.
This house is in a perfect location to walk to town and several other places of interest are located just a short drive away. We went to the Cave of the Winds, Seven Falls and the Broadmoor all within a distance of a four mile drive. The house was quiet, clean and the beds were comfortable. It was stocked well with the basics. The host Beth was wonderful!! We had a small glitch with there brand new TV and she came over quickly and fixed it. Our stay was great and we had a very nice time during our stay. I recommend going to the Broadmoor for dinner, they have several good restaurants, we took an Uber. You can walk the grounds and the hotel, has beautiful pieces of artwork throughout. Definitely would stay here again. The area has so much to see and do. Itâs a great getaway. We will be back.
I really appreciate the managers being able to accommodate the early arrival of my best friend prior to my arrival. The quiet neighborhood and closeness to Old Colorado City made for a great walk. I spent several hours over the few days I was there, hanging out on the porch.
We had a fabulous stay. The owner was fast to respond to our messages, friendly and very accommodating. The house is close to shops, activities, and Old Colorado City. The house is so cozy. The beds were very comfortable. The back patio is adorable. We enjoyed the roses and other flowers. It was a bonus to have a driveway to park in after a long day/evening of sightseeing!I would most definitely recommend staying at Old Colorado Coty Gem.
Stayed with daughter who is moving to Colorado Springs while helping her look for home. Location was great our house hunting. House exactly as stated!!
Very nice and clean house Plenty of room for the 4 of us. Very quiet neighborhood. Walking distance to old Colorado City. Lots of neat little shops and restaurants. Also close to several attractions.
Kitchen could use a good deep cleaning.
Mattresses not comfortable.
Furniture seemed really dirty.
House has an unpleasant odor.
AC was awesome.
Washer/dryer very nice.
It was nice to stay here because there were two bedrooms so we could have one room and 13 yr old granddaughter have the other. Great location for all of the fun things to do in and around Colorado Springs.
This updated house had everything we needed in it. The house was clean and cozy. Check in and out was easy and John and Beth helped answer questions we had about nearby grocery stores and restaurants. So close to all the places we wanted to visit! Would totally stay here again!
âGemâ is the word for this jewel of a property!
We were fortunate enough to get to spend four months in this house, and we would gladly have stayed another four months! Everything about this property is 5-star: the beds are incredibly comfortable; the kitchen has everything you need; the tv is huge; the dining room is a great gathering spot; the layout is super comfortable. The neighborhood is the best for enjoying all that Old Colorado City offers â itâs a short walk to Bancroft Park, yet itâs very quiet and peaceful at the house. Our dog loved the yard. The hosts are fabulousâ very responsive and super pleasant to deal with. There was literally nothing not to love about this house. We canât imagine staying anywhere else if we come back to the Springs!
Our stay was lovely in Old Colorado Springs. Great location, close to nearly everything. The house is a lovely 2 bedroom 1 great bathroom. Backyard is great for Barbecues. Hopefully we can return to your house the next time we come out.
Our little ShihTzu dog was confused the first night by the familiar command "Go potty" and xeroscaped backyard (no grass), but figured it out by the second go around. Lovely home; will look to stay there again as we had not enough time in Colorado Springs!
John and his wife Beth live locally in Colorado Springs and are usually very accessible - their business and personal home are located close-by! They are both avid runners, cyclists and mountain bikers and have 2 German Shepherds and 2 tiny human kids they love to hike with. John and Beth love the Colorado Springs area and all it has to offer - don't hesitate to ask them for recommendations for restaurants, sights to see, hiking trails and more. They take pride in their 3 vacation rental properties and providing all their guests with a 5-star hosting experience.
We love Old Colorado City! We live here, play here, and want to share it with anyone who can appreciate a historic area along with close access to many beautiful parks, trails, mountains, art, and community.
Guests have access to the entire home except our locked storage/basement area. The detached garage in the rear of the home is used for private personal storage and is currently leased to another tenant separately.
