Great vacation house!

What a great house! The view can’t be beat. Four bedrooms, plus an office, a game room with a foosball table, a den with a kids reading book, and two patios with a hot tub. The drive can be tricky in bad weather. Well stocked kitchen with several coffee makers. Toiletries in every bathroom.

Great property!! The property was very spacious for our family of eight to enjoy the holiday weekend. The kitchen was fully stocked and enabled us to cook our holiday feast. The views of the mountains and valley were awesome, especially after we received some snowfall. We would definitely stay at this property again in the future. Thank you hosts!!

Excellent Cabin and Location

We had a group of five leaders meeting at the cabin for an offsite work meeting for a few days. It was even better than the pictures showed! This was an excellent facility for us - lots of room, beautiful setting - felt like it was remote, but was only 15-20 minutes from restaurants, etc. We would definitely stay there again!

Amazing Setting!

Peaceful rural setting away from the hustle and bustle, but close enough to be within easy reach of all Colorado Springs attractions. Amazing mountain views from the back decks, with frequent wildlife appearances.

Beautiful spacious home with amazing Mountain View!

We immensely enjoyed our stay at the Bronco house! The pictures online honestly don’t do it justice. The home is even more beautiful and spacious in person, and the Mountain View was MUCH better than I had anticipated. The home was very clean, very comfortable beds, and my children absolutely loved the secret kids nook with books and toys. The hosts were very responsive. We were definitely not ready to leave and would absolutely stay there again!

Everything we could ask for...

We came in town to visit with our daughter who attends USAFA. We were hoping for a quiet place that would allow us to relax and enjoy each other's company. To say we LOVED the place - doesn't come close to how much we enjoyed it. The house is perfect. The privacy was wonderful (exactly what we wanted) and the views were amazing from all the windows/doors - We enjoyed while sipping coffee in the morning and having dinners in the evening. There is so much natural light coming in and the house is spacious and well appointed too. The kitchen has pretty much everything you want or need and the BBQ was great as well. The owners are accessible and so easy to communicate with. We have found our favorite Vacation rental. Perfect.

Perfect Mountain Getaway

Our stay was short, really too short to truly enjoy this house and its surroundings. The dirt road to get there added to the experience and being able to look out the entire backside with no neighbors was just what you'd expect from a Colorado home. Super clean, comfortable beds, terrific kitchen (even though we didn't do any cooking or eating at the house). We highly recommend the Bronco House.
