Just got back from an incredible stay in Colorado Springs, and this home was the icing on the cake for our vacation. The amenities were top-notch, well stocked kitchen, cozy living area, and a stunning view of the mountains. We felt right at home! It felt like being invited to a family members home; we had literally EVERYTHING we needed.What I loved most was the peaceful, private setting. It felt like you were high on a mountain but you’re really just a stones throw away from the city’s conveniences.

Colorado Springs Paradise

Hidden Gem is our favorite vacation home and we have stayed in many. Pre and post communication with the owners was prompt and friendly. From North Denver the drive was only 90 minutes. HIdden Gem was spotless and beautiful. There were ample beds for our 3 generation group. Oh, those beds were a dream. Slept better at Hidden Gem than we do at home! The large dining room table fit all 8 of us for cherished family meals and game time. The highlight was the clean indoor lap pool. It was spacious enough for the entire family to swim/play at the same time. Swimming laps at daybreak was peaceful and energizing. The back patio has an unobstructed gorgeous view of the Rocky Mountains. We sat there to watch the evening fade and sparkling stars appear. Astrology apps were interestingly helpful. Hidden Gem is the perfect name for this amazing home. Book it.

Great Place! Beautiful Views! And the Best Hosts!!

Hidden Gem has been the best stay by far and above. The entire house is wonderful, well stocked, and very very comfortable. We loved the views from the back deck. But most of all are the hosts. The very best I've ever encountered. Truly the Gold Standard of hosts. They did everything, and above and beyond to make our stay superb! Hint to other VRBO owners - you could learn a lot from them. Highly recommended and hope to come back some day. Thank you!

What a lovely place!

This was our first visit to Colorado and I am so happy that we selected this place! Besides being beautiful and in an absolutely beautiful location, the home was so detailed and included everything one would need. The hosts put in a lot of effort with decor and resources. Everything is labeled, toiletries and other helpful items are provided. Check-in and information was easy. The hosts are easy to communicate with and they provide you with everything you need! It was a great stay!

Hidden Gem is a jewel!

The views are stunning! Loved the rock formations. Family hiked to Pulpit Rock, swam in the pool for hours and played many games. We have chosen VRBO in the Colorado Springs area for the last 5 years. Each property was unique and we enjoyed the hospitality of each place. But Lana went far above in making us feel welcome. It wasn't just the welcome note, Memorial Day decor, flowers and a plate of cookies, which was more than enough, but she also checked in a couple of times to make sure our accommodations were okay. OH! I forgot the towel animals that delighted us all. If there are ratings for hosting, Dean and Lana are 5 star. Thanks for making our stay memorable.

Graduation Time

Our extended family of 10 stayed at Hidden Gem to attend the graduation of our granddaughter from Colorado College. The name fits this property perfectly. The surroundings are spectacular-one of my favorite things was waking up to the gorgeous view of Pikes Peak from the master bedroom. We loved cooking in because the kitchen was so well supplied with everything we needed. We even moved the grill around to the front of the patio so the grilling chef could have the view. The bedrooms and baths were also well supplied. And it was wonderful to be able to pull the cars into the garage when we had a couple of fun thunderstorms. Lana and Dean were extremely welcoming and communicated with us so well. We’re almost sorry that our granddaughter has finished her time at CC because we would love to go back.

Amazing foothill home

This was one of my favorite properties I have ever stayed at. The location was so peaceful with amazing views. They literally have thought of everything. The house is so well stocked with towels, laundry detergent, spices. Communication was excellent both with labeling within the house and with text messages from hosts. It was a perfect long weekend get away.

Family vacation

The house has amazing views of the mountains and the kids loved the pool. The guys liked hiking the trail to Pulpit Rock from the house and our son loved climbing all over the rocks outside. There where 11 of us and the house was plenty big enough. Only disappointment, the house is not private despite the description. There are lots of neighbors not shown in the pictures. The master bedroom has an all glass shower and I got to watch the neighbor walk by the window while I was showering. The homeowners labeled literally everything making use of equipment & spices very easy. 😆
