Real stays. Real stories from Elk Springs Ranch.

Families, friends, and retreat groups come here for wide-open skies, farm animals, and quiet nights under the stars. Here’s what they’re saying about their stay: 

“This home was everything we were looking for. Stunning views and a gorgeous house with all the amenities. You will have everything you need and more. Deb and Troy thank you for sharing your home with us. Didn’t want to leave. Thank you to Troy for sharing the horses with the kids. We will be certain to stay again!”

“We had a great time here and would highly recommend a stay here. The kids loved the animals (and the snack assortment in the kitchen!). We found it to be very reasonably priced as well. We would definitely revisit this place.”  

Mark – Colorado Springs, Colorado – February 2026  

  

“Deborah and Troy are the gold standard of Airbnb hosts. From start to finish, our stay was absolutely perfect, and a huge part of that was due to their exceptional hospitality.  
They weren't just hosts; they felt like welcoming friends who were passionate about sharing their corner of Colorado. Their kindness and accommodating nature made our family feel instantly at home. The property itself was immaculate, incredibly comfortable, and had everything we could possibly need.  
The true highlight, though, was their local knowledge. They pointed us to some absolutely awesome spots we would have never found on our own. Those recommendations made our trip truly special.  
We left with zero complaints and only fantastic memories. Our family can't recommend Deborah and Troy's place highly enough. If you're looking for a seamless, comfortable, and uniquely local Colorado experience, book here without hesitation. We hope to return someday!”

“We truly loved this place!! My grandsons had an amazing time feeding the animals with Troy. The place was simply beautiful and the amenity’s were more than we expected. The Christmas tree was beautiful as well and truly made the boys day when they walked in. We have stayed at several locations in Colorado and this by far was the best!!! Easy to find and in the middle of the attraction we wanted to see.”  

Adina - Livingston, Texas - December 2025  

  

“Deb and Troy are amazing hosts! Both are response to every need and question. Troy in particular is extremely patient and kind in taking our younger daughters and niece to feed the animals and ride Tobias. They talked about it the entire drive home. Deb is very responsive and mad sure we had everything we needed to host our family Thanksgiving dinner. The house itself is cozy, clean, and had amazing views. Deb made sure we had bottles of water, a bottle of wine, and a great selection of snacks. Between Deb, Troy, the house, and the location, this ranks with one of our best family Thanksgiving dinners ever.”  

Ryan - Overland Park, Kansas - November 2025  

  

“Listing was exactly as described. The entire home was spotless, welcoming & well equipped. The space was perfect for our family vaca, 5 adults, 2 kids & dog. Although the hosts live onsite, a first for us, this stay was our best ever & never felt intrusive. Troy went above & beyond giving our kiddos experiences caring for the sheep & horses, including riding Tobias. Deb and Troy are extremely friendly & gave wonderful advise to find local hidden gems. The views are stunning, stargazing incredible & the daily deer & jack rabbit around the ranch were a joy to see. The kitchen is truly a chefs kitchen with gas range & kitchenaid oven. The large dining table was perfect for meals, games & art while enjoying the mountain views. Cell service is spotty given the remote location, but wifi was great. We weren't able to use the firepit due to burn ban, but the fireplace was perfect for roasting marshmallows. We will definitely be back & have talked about Elk Springs being our annual vaca getaway”

“This is probably one of the best airbnbs I’ve ever stayed in! We had a group of 8 and had plenty of space and comfort, everything was clean and plenty of extras provided. Was about an hour to pikes peak so we were able to enjoy some local hiking and explore the mountains and gardens. Great space!”  

Susan - Peosta, Iowa - October 2025  

  

“If only Vrbo had a 10/above and beyond rating to give-Elk Springs Ranch would meet that definition! To start with you won't find better host than Deb and Troy. Both were so pleasant and welcoming throughout the stay. Deb has done an amazing job designing this home and no detail is forgotten. Be sure to take Troys recommendation to visit Eleven Mile Canyon and see the Balcony, both were favorites of ours. The home itself is gorgeous and exceptionally clean. There are so many special touches - a welcoming card with host direct contact number, a bottle of wine, a bountiful variety of snacks, a fully stocked coffee/tea station to mention just a few. The kitchen was one of the best stocked properties we have ever stayed at. There is an amazing view of Pikes Peak off the main deck. The floor plan is perfect, and we loved we could take our dog out for walks right there on the property. Thank you Deb, Troy and Jackson for sharing your piece of paradise with us. You can count on seeing us again!!”  

Colleen - September 2025  

  

“We had a great week at the ranch. The view of Pike’s Peak from the great room and front deck was beautiful, the home has plenty of space and was very clean. Deborah and the property caretaker, Troy, are incredibly thoughtful and welcoming. It was fun to be able to visit the horses and gaggle of sheep on the property. We enjoyed day trips to Woodland Park 20 min away where you can find shopping and restaurants, and did some fun hikes in the area. The kitchen was well appointed and had everything we needed to make family meals. One minor thing to note is that the water tastes like it has a lot of minerals, so recommend bringing some bottled water for drinking. Highly recommend the ranch!”  

Jonathan - Glencoe, Illinois - August 2025  

  

“Elk Springs Ranch is absolutely perfect...from the thoughtfully stocked kitchen and baths, Deb and Troy's quick responses and help, immaculate housekeeping, easy check-in, extremely comfortable beds and linens, lovely decks to take in the breathtaking views, beautiful wood-burning fireplace that we used most evenings and most important...the ranch's fur-babies!Each morning, we would visit Lucy and Tobias (horses) to give them fresh apple slices. Each evening after spending the day sightseeing, Penny (cat) would come visit us just to make certain we got home safe. And, of course, Jasper (dog) would make us laugh every time we saw him. Watching a Golden Retriever puppy herd sheep was awesome. I wish I had it on video!!! Needless to say, us four old ladies from Pittsburgh would highly recommend Elk Springs Ranch!!Thank you, Deb and Troy, for sharing your beautiful piece of Earth with us!Susie, Lou, Sandy & Col"Would absolutely stay again""Breathtaking views""Comfortable beds and linens""Fully equipped kitchen""Quiet and private setting"

“Great place for kids and families! The place was setup great for a fun family weekend! Close proximity to Royal Gorge and Cripple Creek (check out the train ride in Cripple Creek; it was a huge hit for all ages!). The ranch also had lots of fun things to do and the animals on the ranch were fun for the kiddos. Great hosts and very welcoming towards our group!”  

Derek - August 2025  

  

“Wonder family vacation! The property is beautiful, and immaculate! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and loved the entire property. Troy and Deb are very friendly and happy to show you anything on the property. We loved the location. Although the property is somewhat remote, it is very easy to access.”  

Lauren - July 2025  

  

“Deb is an exceptional hostess, ensuring a delightful stay with no unexpected issues.The property was spotless, with reliable Wi-Fi throughout. The kitchen was fully equipped with utensils, plates, cookware, a crockpot, and more. Thoughtful touches included a bag of ice in the freezer and a bottle of wine on the kitchen island.The beds were cozy, and the bathrooms were pristine and well-supplied.Ample seating options, including couches and chairs, were available both indoors and outdoors.I especially loved the master bedroom deck, where I’d relax at night, gazing at the stunning, star-filled Colorado sky.I attached the magnificent view of Pike’s Peak from the common deck.”  

Craig - July 2025  

  

“Amazing views and beautiful home - The home was beautiful and so were the views. Our group had an excellent trip and the kids loved the animals!”  

Bill - June 2025  

  

“Hard to Leave - From the moment I pulled in from the dirt road to Elk Springs Ranch I knew I made the right choice for our mult-generational family vacation. Opening the front door was like being on an HGTV reveal. Everything was perfect. No disappointment from the online description. I dreamed a long time of bringing everyone together. While you could say the location is nowhere, it is everywhere. The southwest Colorado scenery is so magnificent that the drives we took to Canon City for the Royal Gorge Train Route and white water rafting, Pikes Peak and Garden of the Gods go by in a flash. And . . . don:t ignore the Florissant Dinosaur Monument area. So close and so much to learn about earth's development. The true highlight of the property are the sheep, horses and Troy. Yes, Troy! He made the stay so special for our six and four year old grandchildren. Every morning they ran down to with his calm and friendly demeanor feed "girls" and 'boys" sheep, and ''Jude" the patriarchy sheep of the flock. Then it was on to do likewise for their horses Tobias and Lucy. If you have going children, do yourself a favor - just go. There will be unforgettable memories awaiting. Finally, don't forget to ask Troy about "The Balcony" overlook. You will not find a better view in Colorado. No tourists here. Only a hidden gem like Troy will know about. I can't say enough about Deb:s and Troy's welcoming hospitality.The even had farm fresh eggs delivered to us from the farm across the road.”  

Richard - June 2025  

  

“Fantastic!!! I have nothing but good to say about this home!The owners are lovely people and very helpful when needed. The kitchen was amazingly well stocked with cookware etc. the entire home very comfortable. We went to go fishing and it is in a perfect location and easy to get to.Thank you!  

Elizabeth - May 2025  

  

“Family getaway - Property was well described and we appreciated the communication.  

Jeremy - March 2025  

  

“Amazing! Book now, you won't regret it. House was cozy but so plenty of room for our party is 8 adults and 2 dogs. Lots of room outside too. Close to a large variety of activities and restaurants and shopping yet so far enough our to get away. The stars at night, were big and bright, and that's coming from a Texan.”  

Torrance - Spring, Texas - January 2025  

  

“This place is stunningly beautiful with Pike’s Peak seen from the deck! The house was beautiful and amenities were great. Deb and Troy even let us borrow some sleds to go sledding! Recommend this place!”  

Tammie - December 2024  

  

“A Wonderful Family Getaway - Our stay at Elks Ranch was absolutely wonderful! Everything mentioned in the listing was spot on, and the house was immaculate and well-maintained. The view of the mountains was absolutely spectacular and added to the serene atmosphere of the ranch. My grandkids especially loved feeding the sheep and horses, which made the experience even more memorable. Deb and Troy were excellent hosts, making us feel welcome and comfortable throughout our stay. We had an incredible Thanksgiving at their beautiful ranch, and everyone in our family was thrilled to create such special memories there. Thank you, Deb and Troy, for sharing your amazing property with us – we truly hope to return someday!”  

Angela - November 2024  

  

“Deb and Troy were amazing to work with!!! My wife and I took our family including our 20 month old granddaughter on vacation and this place was amazing!!! The view from the house and deck were breathtaking!!! Nighttime stargazing was fantastic!!! Troy took his time helping our granddaughter enjoy the sheep and horses on premises and his patience was incredible!!! It was an experience none of us will ever forget!!! Make sure you follow their recommendations they are excellent. We followed their food recommendations and took their secret hike and it was amazing!!! They provided a snack basket and had all the necessities to prepare any meals we wanted to cook!!! Thanks Deb and Troy for vacation memories that will last a lifetime!!!”

Shelley - September 2024  

  

“An amazing cozy home! With a breath taking view. My family of 8 including myself fit comfortably and had plenty room for family dinner and games.”  

Joann - Denver, Colorado - August 2024  

  

“The house and location were stunning. Although it looks like the pictures, the pictures do not do it justice. The host immediately contacted us confirming the reservation and offering helpful information. The location is an outside of town but, that’s exactly what we were wanted. Coffee in the mornings with Pike’s Peak in the distance and hummingbirds buzzing around. It was so peaceful and beautiful. The house itself is beautiful and well equipped. The host left us snacks, water and a good bottle of wine which was so very nice. Deb and Troy were so friendly and helpful. We enjoyed every minute of our stay!!”  

Pam - Fort Worth, Texas - August 2024  

  

“Great place for families! Hiking, fishing, pikes peak, cripple creek, and Florissant petrified forest!   
Greatest host I’ve ever had (I rent 3 places per year) with lots of little additions…..so nice!  
Great recommendations for hikes and places to eat right there in “little ol’ Divide!””  

Dawn - Double Oak, Texas - August 2024  

  

“Perfect family retreat - Elk Springs Ranch was everything as advertised. Well appointed, clean, and comfortable for a family retreat spanning three generations. So many outdoor activities on property and nearby. We enjoyed hikes, time with ranch animals, trips to nearby pikes peak, water activities, evening campfires, and more. Troy and Deb add a personal touch second to none. Great family memories created here.”  

Gary - July 2024  

  

“Elk Springs Ranch - Gorgeous home and spacious property. Quiet, private, and just the right distance from major attractions. Relaxing and beautiful view of Pikes Peak and other mountains nearby. Deb and Troy are very gracious hosts and made the stay even more enjoyable. Troy was very patient and engaging with our rambunctious and highly active 6-year-old son. He let our son help feed and pet the sheep and horses. Troy spent time with our son and showed him how to play frisbee golf and played a round with us. Incredibly beautiful home and lots of modern touches. House was stocked with lots of toys, books, and activities for all ages. Our teenagers enjoyed exploring the house and property. Deb & Troy provided directions to a “secret” hike location that was not challenging for our family and provided a beautiful overlook at the top. They also provided lots of conveniences throughout the stay. One of our favorite vacations and we did not want to leave. If we ever go back to the area, this is definitely a property we would consider.”  

John - July 2024  

  

“Great Place - We had a great stay here and the home was as advertised. We played disc golf, hiked, and saw some of the local attractions while there. There is so much to do in the area!”  

Matt - July 2024  

“Great place to getaway and enjoy each other! - Elk Springs Ranch was the perfect vacation home for our family. The house was beautiful and fit all 10 of us very comfortably. Deb and Troy were very friendly and had the house well stocked when we arrived. It was by far the most well stocked house we’ve stayed at. The younger kids loved helping Troy feed the animals and the older kids and adults enjoyed playing many rounds of frisbee golf. The house is located close to many different activities and was the perfect place to come back to and relax while enjoying the beautiful scenery. We hope to return again some day soon!”  

Jamie - July 2024  

  

“We loved this home! Million dollar view and hosts were incredible and so accommodating. Very glad they were living downstairs as this helped tremendously with recommendations and our family really enjoyed helping to feed and visit the horses and sheep in the mornings. One of the very best airbnb experiences we have ever had and we’ve had many in the US and Europe. We can’t wait to visit this home and the Rocky Mountains again!!”  

Alice - Maumee, Ohio - June 2024  

  

“Beautiful views - Home was very clean and welcoming host was very friendly and responsive to our needs would recommend the home to any family”  

Stephen - June 2024  

  

“Beautiful home! Beautiful home! Had everything we needed. Jody very helpful!”  

Marie - June 2024  

  

“Convenient & Beautiful Location - Deb and Troy were excellent hosts at this lovely vacation home. We were greeted with a welcoming environment and many amenities. It was still the colder season in Colorado, so we had fire wood available for the indoor fireplace. This was great to watch while the snow came down in the mountain area. The views of Pike's Peak from this home are breathtaking as you sit by the fireplace or when sitting to eat with the whole family. Our toddler had a great time watching Troy feed the sheep and horses on the property. Troy was available to provide recommendations of nearby hiking spots and showed us the "Balcony." The house was conveniently located ~30-40 minutes from most attractions. We visited the Royal Gorge, Eleven Mile Canyon, Woodland Park, Florissant Fossil Bed area, Pike's Peak, Garden of the Gods, and Red Rock. We didn't get the chance to visit the nearby Wolf and Wildlife Reservoir. The home had ample supplies and was one of the best stocked VRBOs we have had the pleasure of staying at. There is plenty of room for the whole family to spread out throughout the house. Would definitely book this property again next time we are near Colorado Springs.”  

Tyler - May 2024  

  

“Days and days of searching for the perfect place we choose Elk Springs Ranch and I am so happy that we did.   
Everything is just as described. Comfortable beds, wonderful showers, every amenitie needed from cooking utensils to serving dishes needed for a taco bar to a steak dinner. The beautiful sunrises, feeding of the horses and sheep, an evening campfire... It was all perfect!   
Thank you so much for allowing a small wedding ceremony to be preformed on the ranch.   
My son and daughter in law will forever cherish the memories made as they exchanged their vows from the balcony with the beautiful view of Pikes Peak in the background.”  

Scherrie - May 2024  

  

“Deborah is a great host and the place was perfect for our needs!”  

Jim - Milwaukee, Wisconsin - May 2024  

  

“Fantastic place - The home is very beautiful and well stocked. It was very quiet. I would definitely stay here again. Great for kids Sled hills, Farm animals to pet and feed. Deb and Troy the host take pride in the property and make sure you have everything you need. Thank You”  

Louis – February 2024  

  

“We absolutely enjoyed our stay. From the stunning views, beautiful home and the small details waiting for us. I would recommend Deborah’s home and hope to go back again!”  

Heidi - Fort Worth, Texas - December 2023  

  

“Beautiful place!”  

Steven - Centennial, Colorado - December 2023  

  

“Wonderful Colorado getaway - Elks Springs Ranch was a wonderful place to spend Thanksgiving with our family! The views are amazing, the house is beautiful with a well stocked kitchen. We all enjoyed helping Troy feed the sheep and the horses. The house is 30-60 minutes from all COS attractions, which made it easy to schedule adventures during the day and then have a lovely, relaxing place to come home to. Deb and Troy were terrific hosts and very responsive to any questions. Make sure to ask Troy for a map to his favorite hiking spot … amazing 360 degree views!! We hope to go back someday.”  

Deanna - November 2023  

  

“Amazing experience and a beautiful home! - Our stay was fabulous in every way! If you are looking for a beautiful cabin near Pikes Peak, this is the perfect place. We spent a lot of time researching cabins in the area and we found the best home! Debra and Troy were the perfect hosts. The cabin is decorated so lovely and has everything you could possibly need and more! There were goodies left for us upon arrival and a fully stocked coffee and tea station. All of the beds were comfortable and there was plenty of space for a large family. The views from the deck are spectacular! The animals on the ranch just add to the experience and we really enjoyed watching Troy feed them. The secret lookout is worth staying here alone! We picked a location close to Pikes Peak because we booked a ride on the Cog Railway to the top of the mountain. It is an incredible site to see. But I think the view from Troy’s special spot is better than the view from Pikes Peak. You are able to see all of the mountains, including Pikes peak with the added bonus of seeing the Eleven Mile Canyon. The view is breathtaking! If you don’t mind a little hike and would like to see the best views in this area, you could not pick a better place! Thank you Troy and Debra for helping us create a memorable experience with our family!”  

Tricia - November 2023  

  

“Absolutely amazing and beautiful - Debbie and Troy are the ideal hosts. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. The home was so comfortable and had everything we needed. The kids loved the farm animals and Troy was amazing with them. Our oldest nephew was able to help Troy with trimming the sheep's hooves. He loved it. We will absolutely be back and stay here. My recommendation is that no one else stay here next year at this time so it is AVAILABLE FOR OUR FAMILY!!!!💕 Thank you Debbie and Troy and also Cathy ( horseback ride for the kiddos ) for making our family so comfortable and for being the best hosts ever!!!”  

Leesa - October 2023  

  

“Relaxing atmosphere with great views - Great cabin feel with awesome view. Fireplace was great with plenty of firewood on hand. Kitchen was fully stocked with appliances/pans/dishes etc. Deborah and Troy are very attentive to any needs or questions. Very nice people. Our only regret was that we weren’t staying longer! Looking forward to staying again someday.”  

David - September 2023  

  

“Absolutely Beautiful! What an amazing stay! Everything was better than we could have imagined, so clean, so very accommodating. The home is perfect for families or multiple adults. The lay out was perfect. Our kids loved feeding animals with Troy, Deb left us an adorable card welcoming us to this little piece of paradise. We will definitely be coming back for many years to come!”  

Jessica - September 2023  

  

“SO relaxing, quiet and peaceful with beautiful views - We booked for a last minute trip over fall break. We loved the county setting, the views, the home and its coziness! They had thought of everything to make our stay extra comfortable. They also gave directions and suggestions of things to do when we asked about what we should go explore in the area. We had a great time and would definitely stay here again.”  

Amber - September 2023  

  

“We had a wonderful time visiting. A lovely private home with fantastic views. Deborah and Troy were very friendly and communicative. The only downside of the area is that cell reception is very spotty. Be sure to download maps for offline use if you need navigation!”  

Kimberlyn - July 2023  

  

“beautiful place with perfect views! Perfect for a peaceful family weekend getaway.”  

Robert - July 2023  

  

“We had a large group with younger kids. We reached out prior to booking about our oldest child who is on the spectrum. With them saying the sometimes reside in the basement we wanted to make sure that our child wouldn't be bothersome with his "tantrums" or "meltdowns". She assured us it would be fine and they wouldn't be bothered. After meeting her and Troy I again expressed any apologies if our kids were being too loud in which they responded "kids will be kids". The property itself upon arrival is beautiful. They had a wonderful array of treats awaiting us on the island when we entered and felt like a very warm welcome. The house is clean, laid out wonderfully for entertaining and having some great quality family time. The kids had a blast playing outside and feeding the animals with Troy. It stays decently cool with the windows and fans. Upon leaving we already considered booking again! Wonderful place with wonderful hosts.”  

Jennifer - July 2023  

  

“We are so happy to pick this place. Eight of our hiking team members stayed 7/14-7/17/2023. Deborah and Troy are such wonderful hosts! They decorated the house with lots of beautiful arts. The view is stunning. The kitchen and bathrooms are super clean. The instructions Deborah provided are very clear. We found the place and checked in super easily! We definitely plan to go back again and love to recommend the place to other friends!”  

Ke - Fair Oaks Ranch, Texas - July 2023  

  

“This house was beautiful. The views are stunning. Everything was very clean. Deborah went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. There were snacks, water, wine, coffee and many other details ready for us upon arrival, which was so thoughtful after a long day of traveling. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our time here very much!”  

Jennifer - Fleetwood, Pennsylvania - July 2023  

  

“Perfect place! Wonderful place to stay with our family!  

Liked: cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy  

Cindy - July 2023  

  

“Had a ladies weekend with friends and this was roomy enough for all eight of us! The balcony looks out at pikes peak, we enjoyed our time out there. Thoughtful touches. Adorable dog came to greet us. We would definitely stay here again.”  

Lois - Wichita, Kansas - June 2023  

  

“Deb and Troy are wonderful hosts. They provide a true homey feel. Exceptional hospitality. Troy was great with teaching the kids how to feed and care for the farm. What an amazing place for family time to be together in a most beautiful part of Colorado! The view is spectacular.”  

Josh - Burlington, Wisconsin - June 2023  

  

“Deborah was a wonderful host of this beautiful Coloradan property! My family and I came for a mini getaway, and it was the perfect spot. Not only are there beautiful surroundings from every angle, it's still not too far from the grocery store or nearby activities for it to be inconvenient.   
I MUST recommend the hike to the Balcony, as suggested by Troy (the property caretaker) -- an absolutely stunning view (although I'll warn it's high altitude, for those who may not be accustomed). Thank you again!”  

Tryphena - Sarasota, Florida - June 2023  

  

“My family (6 adults/1 child/dog) spent a week in this beautiful home. The hosts could not have been more hospitable. Deb, was such a kind, gracious & welcoming individual that made us feel like we were in our own home. Troy, the caretaker of the property, was quick to respond to any question we had related to the property or nearby attractions. Although the hosts live on the property, we hardly saw them except when it was feeding time for the animals. We cooked most of our meals in the home. What a lovely, well-equipped kitchen! We all loved the coffee/tea/snack station. A refreshing element of solitude/seclusion on the ranch. You felt like you were in the middle of nowhere surrounded by nothing but majestic beauty yet you are under an hour from so many other attractions. We all agreed that this home was by far the most pristine/beautiful/clean/comfortable Airbnb that any of us had ever stayed in before. We recommend this home to anyone looking to enjoy the beauty & magnificence of CO!”  

Janie - June 2023  

  

“This cabin is beautiful and the view is amazing! The kitchen is fully stocked which made cooking simple and my group loved the tea, coffee, and snack station. The beds were super comfy and the bathrooms were all pristine. Deborah was one of the best hosts I’ve stayed with. She was attentive, clear, and left us a note and wine which we loved. Everyone in my group was absolutely raving about the cabin and even though it snowed the whole time so we couldn’t stargaze, the view more than made up for it.”  

Laura - Denver, Colorado - April 2023  

  

“What an amazing place, especially if you have kids and they love animals, Troy is very helpful and friendly. Highly recommended!!!”  

Omer - Boulder, Colorado - March 2023  

  

“My friends and I loved the stay! The hosts were very kind and helpful to our group. The house is beautiful and was well worth the price. The house is deep into the mountains making the house very private and peaceful but this can come at the cost of finding consistent cell service. 10/10”  

Matt - Madison, Wisconsin - March 2023  

  

“Loved this place- amazing views and great value for money. We came for a weekend with young kids- and it was fantastic”  

Maya - Budapest, Hungary - February 2023  

  

“This cabin is beautiful, spacious and secluded with amazing views. Our family loved the property and the mountain views.... Love the place...”  

Rafael - January 2023  

  

“The home was amazing! The host was very sweet and had lots of recommendations. We will definitely rebook.”  

Corena - Houston, Texas - December 2022  

  

“Deborah and Troy are amazing on making sure you’re nice and comfortable on this beautiful home, mountain views, plenty of wildlife to see, couldn’t have asked for a better place to spend the weekend.”  

Gerardo - Amarillo, Texas - November 2022  

  

“Out of the last 7 years of staying in homes in Colorado, Texas gulf and New Mexico this is the best home we have ever stayed at. The place was absolutely fantastic. The inside was just as nice as the outside ( which is not always the case). The views of the mountains were wonderful. To wake up to the view of Pike’s Peak was great. We had little ones and feeding the sheep and horses was an extra bonus for them. This home is great for unplugging, stargazing and just unwinding. It is close enough for a day trip to Denver and just about a hour from Colorado Springs. Wolf Sanctuary is about 15 mins away and kids had a great time. Will definitely be back.”  

Anthony - October 2022  

  

“Fantastic views and everything you should need for a comfortable stay no matter if for a night or a month. Great location close to many things with easy access. Critters to help feed and pet was a huge hit with the kiddos! Sunrise worth waking early for 😊"

“Lovely ranch with a few animals. The host was on sight and responded quickly.”  

Ryan & Darya - Denver, Colorado - September 2022  

  

“It was such a beautiful home away from busy life. Such thoughtful details and anything we could think of was covered! The host was so quick to help with recommendations or questions.   
We had such a perfect weekend of nature and the scenery in this home with friends. The morning sun is bright and hits the large deck and was great for morning yoga! Trails are not far or other activities like the dinosaur science museum in Woodland Park.   
There is so much to do in the nearby areas and cities but we mostly wanted to just relax and this was perfect for that.   
So many thoughtful and nice touches for the kids with books, puzzles and the bunk beds! The kids loved the animals and morning stroll and the host was so kind and patient with them. Just cant say enough good things and cant wait to come back again!”
