Historic Old Colorado City Home w/ Backyard!

This is a beautiful historic home in a great location with a lot of potential. We also met the neighbors who share the drive, and they were lovely and gave us great local recommendations.Overall, our stay was fine, but a good vacation rental is all about the details, and that's where this property fell short. The home advertises space for 8 and we confirmed 8 guests, yet we were provided only 4 towels and 3 rolls of single-ply toilet paper. The dining table seated 5 and the outdoor table had 4 chairs.The house was generally clean, although the bathrooms, particularly downstairs, needed more attention. The outdoor space was disappointing, with a broken-down greenhouse, a large brush pile and a rusted table, leaving no inviting place to enjoy Colorado outdoors. The furnishings were mismatched and didn't create a particularly warm gathering space.Upstairs has no AC except a small hallway window unit, which only works adequately with bedroom doors open, eliminating privacy. Several bedroom and bathroom doors didn't latch, and the skylights/portal windows had no coverings, allowing early morning light to stream in. There was also broken glass in a living room window and the back door required the single house key to unlock from inside, which was concerning in an emergency.Beautiful house and great potential, but it needs more attention to maintenance and the details that make a rental comfortable for the number of guests advertised.

Cute old house. It does come with its little old house charm. Thankfully it got cool at night as the upstairs bedroom and one of the rooms down stairs does not have a vent and no window air conditioner. The beds where ok...I slept up stairs in the double and it was firm mattress. The king downstairs bed creeked when you moved as told by my friends who used it. The two rooms down stairs does not have a door to close to separate the rooms if that may bother some. Kitchen was missing a big pot to boil water and pasta but we made made due with what was there. It was clean and in a good spot for what we wanted to do. Neighbors where nice too. People always out walking and what not.

We enjoy the time in this house everything we needed was there we spend our thanksgiving there and we felt like we were at home.

We chose this home because it was conveniently located near Old Town Colorado shops, The Pinery at the Hill, where we attended a wedding, and tourist attractions like Garden of the Gods and Manitou Springs. We had two married couples and three teenagers in our group and everyone had a sleeping space. The house is old, which comes with its own charm and compromise, but the owners were up front about the design and planned details that made our stay comfortable. We had clean linens and towels, detergents to accompany the clothing washer/dryer and dishwasher, access to streaming accounts, and plenty of kitchen necessities to accommodate dine-in options. Communication was easy from booking our trip and planning ahead, to accessing the house, cleanup, and checkout guidelines. We enjoyed our family weekend!

Living room was spacious the AC upstairs could have been better but good
