Convenient and Clean

Fantastic lication and super clean. Had a workshop on the campus of Colorado College all week. Easy walk to campus! Home is clean and cozy. We had plenty of room for the two of us. Great kitchen with everything I needed for meals. Easy interactions with owners via site. Thank you!

A great little cottage

We had a great stay at this cottage. It was clean and well-stocked. We appreciated having bed linens and towels. Joanna wisely considered that my two teens would not want to share a bed, and had the pull-out couch made up for us when we arrived (thank you!!) We loved that coffee and creamer was available, since that is the first thing I want in the morning. There is a grocery store a mile down the road. The neighborhood seemed nice, and location was great to visit Garden of the Gods, Pikes Peak, and other attractions. Joanna communicated with us in preparation for our arrival, and although we had no issues in which we needed to get in touch with her during our stay, I sensed that she’d be easy to reach if needed. We thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend in Colorado Springs!

Garden escape

The location of this rental was just perfect. Short drive to Garden of the Gods. Neighbors were extremely helpful and welcoming. The home was so quaint and relaxing I could have stayed longer. The host was exceptional, had a small glitch which was not major but they immediately came and made the save. Having the deck with a view of a snow capped mountain was just a perfect backdrop.

Great for a small family.

This was a great place for our family of four. It is located near most of our places of interest (Pikes Peak, Garden of the Gods, and Cheyenne Mountain Zoo). There were several games on the shelf that my kids enjoyed! No washer and dryer, but there was a great laundromat about 5 minutes down the road.

Perfect home base for all Colorado Springs has to offer!

Joanna was such a gracious and kind host and always so responsive! The cottage had everything we needed including body wash and shampoo. Kitchen was well stocked too! We brought bikes and the location made it so easy to bike downtown and to the the nearby bike path by the water as well as downtown restaurants. I am a YMCA member and it was just a 10 minute bike ride to the downtown YMCA so I could use my national membership. It was 20 minutes or less to Garden of the Gods, entrance to Pike’s Peak, and the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. We want to come back and hope the cottage is available so we can stay again!

Perfect spot!

My husband, my 15 month old daughter and I just returned from a week stay in the garden cottage and everything was perfect! The cottage was very clean, and full of amenities! Joanna was quick to respond to my messages, and even dropped off coffee filters when I discovered there were not any in the cottage. The location was perfect, just a short drive to all the attractions in the area. I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area!

Perfect Colorado Springs location

Highly recommend this cottage for our recent family vacation. We had 5 in our party - 4 adults and a teenager and it was roomy and comfortable. The location was close to everything with its central location. The accommodations were clean and everything was thought of. The property manager was very responsive and great to rent from. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you for the great memories.

Awesome

Dad and I rent a house for the first weekend of the NCAA tournament every year, plant our butts on a couch and don't really move too much for 3 days and this was great for us. 2 bedrooms with comfortable beds, updated bathroom, completely stocked kitchen. Quiet unit on the back of a house with a private garden. Comfortable couches, decent tv, good WiFi. Not exactly walking distance to bars/breweries/restaurants, but a short drive and with better weather could have used scooters, we saw a lot of those laying around to rent.

A perfect family room/open kitchen space for making meals and hanging out. View through one window of snowy pikes Peak. The hosts even put up a little tree and lights for Christmas. Our toddler loved the plastic blocks. Very clean and loved how it’s decorated.Will definitely stay here again.

Garden Cottage Review

Garden Cottage is in the rear portion of a house in a desirable urban neighborhood in Colorado Springs. We enjoyed the interesting garden yard and the comfortable home. We had two small dogs who appreciated walks to nearby parks and Pickleball courts were close . The deck and grill was great for family entertaining . Our hosts were responsive and helpful. We spent an enjoyable month at this Garden Cottage.

We LOVED the garden!!

My family and I had an amazing stay at the Garden Cottage Inn!! The pictures are real to life for the house as well as the garden. We enjoyed being close enough to downtown to go out to eat and also having a grill and backyard garden for entertaining. The fire pit was the highlight for my family as well as the garden lights. My favorite view was looking out the living room window to see Pikes Peak!

Wonderful Stay!

The Garden Cottage was perfect for our family of four. We took advantage of the games, books, and garden. Such a relaxing, quiet get away. The cottage is at the back of the house, but we were not bothered by anyone and we felt like we had ample privacy. The cottage is super-cute and eclectic. The kitchen was fully stocked and were plenty of extra blankets, pillows, and other comfort items. Highly recommend!

Anniversary Get away

We were so lucky to have chosen this Garden Cottage over the 10 places we had pinned for this trip. Better than the 5 star pictures. Better than we could hope for as far as the charm. The location was amazing for our to do list. Every detail was spot on. Then to pull it all into amazing was the hospitality of the owners. Yes we will return!

When we entered the property our hearts sunk. The yard was over grown and not maintained.

After a 900 mile trip, we had hoped for a nice relaxing stay. We walked through the gates onto the property to find broken outdoor furniture, overgrown weeds and grass. Property had a very strong smell of cat urine as well. We had to clean cob webs from windows on deck and I even washed a few outside windows. Fire pit was not usable due to amount of poison ivy.The inside of the cottage was not bad,actually nice. Very sad that the owners didn’t take more time to prepare for our visit. Dishwasher still had dirty dishes from previous renters, refrigerator had spilled juice in it and we had to replace batteries in thermostats as well. The parking in the alley was terrible, junk everywhere and a tiny house that’s under construction, on the property. Extremely disappointed as this was not disclosed at the time of the rental. Looks to us like they are trying to make mad money and do as little as possible. Don’t advertise as a garden cottage, that is not a garden, it’s a jungle.
