My friends and I stayed here for a quick New Years get away and can I say it was amazing. The morning view was great, hosts were friendly, and the location is great for traveling between Denver and CO Springs.
A lovely property with plenty of room for the 4 adults and 1 baby we were travelling with. The views and outdoor space were phenomenal for outside family meals.
My wife and I enjoyed our time here. Views were great and home was very clean and updated. The owners were very helpful with all aspects, including recommendations for nearby restaurants. We will definitely be back.
We very much enjoyed our stay here. The house is very very clean, well maintained and has everything we need. We enjoyed spending time outside on the patio with the beautiful view. We also enjoyed chatting with Alan and playing with the dogs. Thank you for a memorable stay! Highly recommended!
Colorado was one of our spots on a Hiking trip this Summer. The place was beautiful, and the mangers of the rental were so nice and very responsive. It wasn’t in the location that we wanted but it was well worth going! Amazing place and amazing people who run it.
I stayed on this beautiful property with my sister and daughters. The swing overlooking the view with my morning coffee was just what was needed to unplug. The bed, the sheets were so so comfy. The views are fantastic. The hosts are super nice and helpful. I highly recommend choosing this home for your next stay.
Here’s a polished version of your review:
“Our stay was wonderful! The property was very spacious, with amazing views, and the hosts went above and beyond to ensure our family Thanksgiving was perfect. They thoughtfully provided extra seating for our gathering and even included a bucket of toys for the grandkids, which was such a thoughtful touch. We truly felt at home and can’t thank the hosts enough for making our holiday so special. We’ll definitely be back!”
This beautiful lodging fit the bill for a visit with our niece and nephew as well as a family dinner ending with s’mores attended by our oldest daughter and her family.
The view is amazing and the patio with the large table and the fire pit was playing games and visiting.
The interior is well appointed with many thoughtful additions in the bathrooms and kitchen.
We highly recommend this property.
We had an amazing time. Alan and Stephanie are great. The house is clean and well stocked. Sitting on the porch swing and looking out over the valley and mountains was a great way to drink coffee every morning. I will miss the view.
My husband and I spent 5 days with two good friends. Loved this house. Hosts were terrific! We were worried in the extremely hot weather about not having air conditioning, but the house was so cool that it felt air conditioned!!
We came to Colorado for a wedding and luckily found this listing. Not only is the house beautiful, but the view from this property is breathtaking. They have anything and everything you could think of the house ready for when you arrive (they even has relaxing music playing). We could not be happier with our stay here and will hopefully be back for a future visit. Thank you! for yoh.
Our stay was Amazing! We enjoyed the beautiful sunrise and Mountain View every morning while enjoying a cup of coffee on the patio. We also were thankful for Alan’s informative conversation about the area. All of our needs were met. You can’t go wrong staying at this beautiful location. We definitely will be returning if Stephanie and Alan will have us. We will also miss our morning visitors…The Turkeys 🦃
Absolutely positively the most amazing place, Stephiane and Alan, there are no words to describe how amazing they are!! The place has it all - the view is breathtaking. We needed for nothing .. 25 star rating from us !!!!
My family and I came to visit our daughter for Parent’s weekend at the Air Force Academy. Our time at the VRBO was just wonderful! The hosts were so helpful and thought of all the needs travelers might need. The house was clean and cozy. We enjoyed special family time while eating outside and enjoying the spectacular views and taking a neat hike behind the property. Highly recommend a stay here!!! Thank you!!
This property was absolutely amazing. The neighborhood is very quiet, the views from the patio are beautiful, and the location is super convenient for getting out of the city, but within an easy drive to south Denver.
The interior is so clean and comfortable, we felt like it was as close to a home away from home as you can get. The hosts thought of every detail to make this a truly special place to stay. There were extra bathroom essentials, a basket of s'mores ingredients for the firepit, and a very well stocked kitchen.
My wife and I are looking for an excuse to escape to the mountains again so that we can stay at this beautiful property.
Great open space for hosting/visiting, very comfortable fit for 4 people, two and two staying in the bed rooms. Location is off in a little neighborhood that makes you feel like you are no where near the city but indeed at a getaway.
Owners live upstairs, which was a bit of a surprise, but they were not a distraction of any kind, only a handful of times would we hear their dog run around at 9am with some whimpers.
If I found myself in the area, I would stay again.
The view was beautiful. The space was very well furnished. The rental is the basement of the main home that the owners live in. We could hear footsteps and the dogs upstairs occasionally but it wasn’t problematic. Spices, bathroom supplies, and snores were provided.
We absolutely loved our stay at the property. The pictures do not do justice to the majestic views from the porch! Alan is a rockstar! When a huge snow storm dropped over 2 feet of snow, he made sure the driveway was cleared and that we could get out. The house was centrally located to all our Colorado adventures. The house is far enough off the beaten path that we were able to enjoy the peace of the country but close enough to all the amenities Colorado has to offer. Would absolutely recommend this property to anyone and look forward to a return visit!
Views Galore is an exceptionally beautiful property inside and out. The view from the patio is really that stunning! Inside is just as wonderful and everything you could possibly need is provided. It’s very clean, the beds are comfortable, the kitchen is a joy to cook in if you don’t feel like going out and the patio with grill, heaters and fire pit were exactly what we were looking for to have a peaceful, comfortable vacation. It’s close to many outdoor spaces for hiking and taking in the mountains and nature. The hosts are friendly and easy to communicate with, they are also 5 Star! We would absolutely go there again and are checking into summer dates. We really can’t say enough positive things about the hosts and property!
Great place, beautiful view. It had no washer/dryer and the owners were clearly hesitant to let us use theirs on the second level. Pretty disappointing to spend that much money and not have access to a basic need. The laundromat was 10 minutes away and 1.5 hours of time away from my family and guests.
Won’t stay there again as beautiful as it was.
From check in to check out, all was taken care of quickly and with no problems at all. The property is overlooking a beautiful view of the valley and has outdoor chairs and tables so you can enjoy your evening. The property is well appointed with very comfortable chairs and couches to relax in. The bedrooms are very comfortable, one having a queen size bed and the other having a king. There are windows throughout looking out onto the view, yet plenty of window coverings to ensure your privacy. The bathrooms are large with plenty of room. Everything was clean and in excellent condition. The property is well away from any noise, yet very easy to get to. The owners worked to make sure we were well taken care in all aspects. We thoroughly enjoyed out stay there and recommend this property without any reservation.
Great owners, beautiful space and location, but not completely private
We wanted to write this very honest review about our stay in Views Galore. Alan and Stephanie are very nice, lovely people. You can tell they really enjoy meeting new people and sharing their home. There are pros and cons to this VRBO. The space is beautiful and cozy. With amazing views of the valley. It says it sleeps 9, but only has 3 spots to sit and eat inside. During the winter months that doesn't really suit 9. We would stand and eat so we didn't make a mess in the living room. That is written in the listing but you have to go through it very thouroughly to know this.
However, I wouldn't say it's completely private. They seemed quite aware of our coming and goings. You have to communicate with them to take the trash out. Which isn't a problem unless you want to be totally alone. They live in the house. They work daily, so every morning we were woken up very early when they got ready for work. The dogs were so cute, but would cry for hours when they left which left us pretty sleepless. Comically, its like living in Mom and Dad's beautifully finished basement.
Now, the ammenities were so nice. Probably some of the nicest I've seen in a VRBO. They have super soft comforters. Brand name bathroom products. Top tier coffee and tea bar. Even a smores kit. All the goodies for your dog if you bring them as well. AND the wild animals were a huge plus for us.
