The location of this home is wonderful. Feels like you're in the wooded mountains, yet close to Co Springs, Pikes Peak, and 5 min to WalMart. We also went 90 min to Royal Gorge which was a beautiful drive. We loved the location of the home!
This home is very nice for a week of vacation. We had plenty of sleeping and table space, but there isn't a large indoor living area to hang out which was hard when we all wanted to relax together. There are two "living spaces" that each seats about 6 people. If you don't mind splitting up between the game room, kitchen, outside, and living spaces, it would be fine.
The house got hot in the October afternoons. The lows were in the 30's and the highs in the 60's, but without blinds, the sun beat in the house making it very hot in the afternoons. Mornings and evenings were great. We just tended to stay outside as much as possible in the afternoons. There are very few windows that open. The owners have supplied several very nice fans, but they blew warm air until the temps lowered.
There are plenty of activities on site between the outdoor spaces and the indoor rec room. Some game equipment items need replacing or are in need of TLC, but we were able to use them as is. Kids loved it!
Though the home needs some TLC, it worked for our needs for the week. The communication with the owner has been very good and they are already addressing any issues we noticed. They are very kind and want to offer an excellent property.
