The listing did not indicate someone would be upstairs in the house. It indicated it was the entire house, which it is not. It is the basement, and not a walk out basement. It had plenty of space and amenities and was clean, just not what we expected and the person above was up each night until 2-3AM each night walking around.

Cleanest property we've stayed in!

Laura is a great hostess! All the basic needs were provided upon arrival. This is the cleanest property we have ever stayed in! I really appreciated that. She was very quick to answer if I texted her with a question or need. It was a quiet neighborhood in a good location, close to stores and restaurants but out of the busy town. We would totally stay here again. Even the kids said so!

Space worked well for our family. Unit was clean. It does not have a full kitchen but host provided plug in cooktop and other appliances that could be used for cooking. Host communicated well. Being the basement it was a tad cold at times.

Great place, nice and clean. Everything you need in the kitchen and bathroom. Great neighborhood and food/shopping nearby. Convenient to seeing Garden of the Gods and Pikes Peak. The listing does say this is a basement place which is usually not a problem. However, the stairs were difficult to navigate due to the garage door and door to the stairs both opening into the small laundry space. It felt very precarious carrying luggage in and was challenging for my children and elderly parents. In addition, the king size bed is very, very high. My mother had to stand on a chair to get into the bed. My father who is over 6 feet struggled to get in the bed without a stool. My husband and I would stay here again alone, but not with my parents, children, or dog.

The location was perfect, the beds comfy and loved the theme and all the handmade quilts. Kids had a great time with the games. It has lots of stairs, which is not a problem unless you are on crutches. I would stay again, I will be off crutches. Some garden level basements have ground level entrance, and I assumed that, so it was tough to navigate for me. The china was beautiful and the same set that my Mom has so that was fun.

We enjoyed staying at this place during the AF Academy Parent's Weekend. The drive out to the area is beautiful and easy, and we loved this VRBO! It is roomy, super clean, has comfy beds, and was very relaxing! Laura's communication was excellent! Overall, a positive experience, and we would stay here again!

5 stars all the way! During our stay we had everything we needed and more. Beds were comfy and the swing set and trampoline were fun for the kids in the evening. Everything was really clean and Laura checked in on us several times. Great place to stay with a family and we loved the activities around Colorado Springs.

We really enjoyed our time together in Laura's adorable basement apartment. Laura was an amazing and responsive host for the duration of our Christmas stay. The layout of the house was perfect for our party of 6 plus dogs - very comfortable. The kids also enjoyed the use of her spacious yard! Can’t wait to return the this incredible retreat. Thank you!

Headed home after a week of camping, Laura's property seemed like the perfect place to rest up, clean up, and meet up with family before heading back home. What a great place - super clean, kid- and pet-friendly, nice quiet safe neighborhood, lots of greenspace and nearby to all the conveniences. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to booking her place on our next trip to Colorado. Thanks Laura!

Very Clean and Easy to Access

My highest priority in a rental is cleanliness and safety. This one is super clean and well maintained. The neighborhood is very quiet and felt safe. Laura left lots of lights on for when we arrived after dark. We stayed here for USAFA Parent’s Weekend. It is a little further from campus but so nice to be away from the crowds of this weekend. We enjoyed the restaurants that are close to this neighborhood. Laura was very helpful and easy to communicate with!

Exploring Colorado Springs

Our stay was amazing. We are a family of six. Even though this property is a basement, it doesn’t feel like a basement at all. It had lots of natural light with a good amount of windows. The bed in the master was big and comfortable. All four of our kids enjoyed the second bedroom where they each had their own bed. The one bathroom was not an issue at all. Nobody felt rushed or crowded. There is also plenty of towels provided. The kitchen is stocked with everything needed for cooking and warming food. It does not have stove/oven. It does have a two burner plug in that I was able to make scrambled eggs on for tacos. We used the toaster oven also and there’s an air-fyer. Now, to the backyard. If you have kids, they will love the backyard. It has a very nice trampoline, playground, hammock, and fire pit. The amazing host, Laura, let us know she was lighting the pit one evening. Our kids had the best time roasting marshmallows and entertaining Laura with stories. Laura was the best host we’ve ever had for a vacation stay! Communication was fantastic and easy. We would definitely stay again and would recommend to anyone.
