Communication from the property owner was always prompt, courteous, and helpful. The check-in and check-out processes were simple. The house was in a wonderful location for accessing hiking and trout fishing in the area. We visited Eleven Mile Canyon, the Dream Stream, Mueller State Park, Red Rock State Park, Manitou Lake, and The Craggs and other local trails. My husband also enjoyed fishing in the neighborhood lake a few times too (be sure to buy a Colorado license if you do this). Heading into Manitou Springs for an evening out was just a 30 minute drive. The kitchen and outdoor electric grill were good for cooking dinners in (just be sure to bring all ingredients with you). Also note that there is only a Keurig - we brought our own coffee pot as single k-cups aren’t our thing. Overall a good stay at a great location.
