We have mixed feelings about our stay.
Pros: The property was clean, smelled great, spacious, plenty of blankets, close to Pike's Peak, Garden of the Gods and Manitou Springs. The host was responsive and nice too.
Cons: You could hear everything. Literally any noise upstairs, you could hear. Walking, a baby crying, people talking, the water running, people putting away dishes, and the worst of all was the two big dogs running up and down the stairs, barking and howling - waking us up almost every day in the morning - even after we reached out to the owner and they told us they would put the dogs away.
One of the days it was raining and we were trying to get inside and since you enter through the back gate, the 2 big dogs were out there jumping on me and trying to get into our VRBO. It was not what you want to deal with while trying to get inside from the rain. Another day, we came back to the property in the afternoon, and the owners had people over (which we understand they have a life) but they took our parking spots so we had to park a block away.
It was a nice place if you literally go to sleep and wake up early and leave all day - but we were very frustrated staying here trying to sleep past 7:00 a.m. as we were on a mini vacation. It was not ideal. Just want to be honest!
