Stinky & Dirty
When you check in, you don’t expect to have to clean the toilets and vacuum immediately on arrival. On top of being hit in the face with the overwhelming stench of pet urine. There were dishes left in the dishwasher, dirty bedding in a garbage bag in the closet, the only thing that was (hopefully) cleaned, was the bedding. The showers were even dirty. There was garbage scattered around the front yard. There were 2 mattresses sitting sideways in the downstairs family room. Contacted the host complete with pictures, and was told she could only reimburse the cleaning fee?! I’m sorry, but I didn’t go on vacation to clean someone else’s mess. We didn’t even stay at the house very much because of the smell. There was no air conditioning, and a sign not to open windows. Also a note to take 5 minute showers to conserve water!

Cool place but needs some work
I think a big thing the owner needs to realize is that rental properties are becoming more and more undesirable compared to hotels. This house is a good example why. It lacked many features that a standard hotel will have, e.g. hot running water, clean sheets, comfortable climate temperature, and no controlling/ threatening notes throughout the place. My boyfriend and I stayed here for NYE. Check in was quick and easy. However, the temperature was 50 degrees when we walked in and it was hard to locate the thermostat. We couldn’t take our coats off for a solid couple of hours because it was so cold. The rules are to have the thermostat at 50 after leaving, but we felt arriving upon a cold house was an unwelcome start. No soap in any of the bathrooms except one used bar of soap with pubes on it. There is a nice bathtub on the upstairs level that we were excited to take a nice relaxing bath in. However, upon filling up the bathtub not even 1/4 of the way full, it was ice cold. So we boiled our own water in the kitchen to try to heat up the bathtub. I cannot imagine how many cold showers guests would take with more than 2 people in the house.. the controlling notes throughout the house indicated to us that the owner doesn’t want to make upgrades, rather have the people abide by the subpar standards of the house. The basement has a note on the window threatening to charge guests if they were to open the window that’s apparently broken. There are notes saying showers can only last five minutes… (obviously avoiding the weird water heater situation and putting the blame on the renter) And the owner says there is a $500 fee if we lose the house key. Does she not have a copy of the key? Why would it be so expensive if we lose a metal key? Because of the frugality of the owner, it appears that she’s taking advantage of anything you possibly do that might cost her a couple bucks extra for your stay. I am allergic to dogs, and I could not stop sneezing and could barely breathe all night. And I broke out in hives because of the bedsheets. Leaving me with the impression that they were not properly cleaned. The advice I would give is to spend a little bit of money fixing the problems throughout the house, and don’t charge renters for naturally using broken features throughout the house. Notes are not the solution, fixing the amenities are.

Crappy Stay
Nearly died of smoke inhalation and no heat or power. Had to buy an extension cord for a heater and run it to another area with a better breaker. We were limited on showers and no way to check water level. The owner said to start the wood stove for heat. It was plugged so smoke all over the house. Cooking range smelled like cat urine when we started it for our Christmas dinner. All the owner kept saying she was sorry and never offered a refund even when we asked her several time

It is a lovely property. If you are looking for a party house this is it. It has obviously been used for parties by the smell of beer cigarettes and other unknown odors. If you don't mind old & thread bare linens and 10 year old towels you will love it. In addition, be prepared to clean and disinfect before you sit down & for sure don't lay on the beds. If you are allergic to pets you should reconsider because there is dog hair everywhere including the bed upstairs. We paid for 2 nights but only stayed the first night and ended up at the Wyndham down the road because I could not breath. I am not a snob and have stayed at some funky places around the world but nothing like this.

About the host

I look forward to retirement in this wonderful property but until then, I am working full time in the city and enjoy the cabin on select weekends. We had our first wedding on the property July 2016.

Why they chose this property

This property is great for convenience but not in town and neighbors are sparse. Also, Corral Lane is plowed by the county by 6:30 am in the winter when it snows. Parking is limited. Although, Corral Lane can be considered on the steeper side. After all, it is in the mountains. In winter I would recommend 4WD.

What makes this property unique

So close to the town you can walk to the City Market, Colorado Springs, Cripple Creek and many unique tourist and local spots alike. I enjoy the antique stores. There is also Safeway. Fast food McD's, Wendy's and Arbys. Two fly fishing shops and ATV rental/purchase.This private home is superbly located in Woodland Park. The almost one acre lot has lots of aspen and pine trees but is still close enough to town to make it convenient for shopping and heading into the sights of Colorado Springs. Hiking trails are at Paradise Open Space at the base of the Rampart Range and Pike National Forest. Also Kings Crown Trailhead is just 2 miles down the road for short hikes. There are also many hiking options available a short drive away whether you are looking for a leisurely stroll near mountain streams or a challenging hike up a 14,000 foot mountain.

Woodland Park, 'City Above the Clouds' is at 8500 feet elevation and is located 20 minutes west of Colorado Springs. It is the perfect jumping off point for the many wonders of Colorado including:

Colorado Springs: Garden of the Gods, Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, Seven Falls, Air Force Academy, Museums, US Olympic training center, multiple hiking and mountain biking trails.

Manitou Springs: Pikes Peak, Cog Railway, Cave of the Winds, Cliff Dwellings.

Cripple Creek: Historic Mining Town and Gambling, Molly Kathleen Mine, Mueller State Park with miles of hiking, fabulous fall color in September and October.

Canon City: Royal Gorge and Arkansas River.

Salida: Arkansas River, Rafting, Fishing

Ski resorts: Breckenridge, Keystone, Arapahoe Basin, Monarch, Leadville

Buena Vista: Arkansas River, Rafting, Fishing, Hot Springs, St. Elmo Ghost Town.
