We didn't go far for this little paradise in the mountains. We only live 30 minutes away but it felt like we were in the middle of nowhere which is exactly what we were looking for. We were close enough to Colorado Springs to go downtown one night for an evening out. The rest of the time was spent indoors without any interruptions making it a very relaxing getaway. Ingrid and Robert where there to greet us when we arrived. They showed us around and made it a very easy transition for the weekend. The hot tub was fantastic and very peaceful at 11:00 pm. When we were leaving they invited us in and we had a great time getting to know them more. We plan on coming back for a visit to say hi and will certainly stay again when we want to get away for a couple days.
AnthonyMarch 2014I had a lovely time here at the Mountain Retreat. Even before I got there, Ingrid was in touch with me about the weather. Because of her text, I rented an SUV instead of the compact, which saved me when we had a snow storm on Saturday. When I arrived, there was a sweet welcome note with wine and some food in the frig. Robert and Ingrid met me at the gate and showed me around. I ended up in the hot tub that night just relaxing and talking with Ingrid. I was there for a conference and ended up going on an amazing hike based on the book of information Ingrid had in the cottage. On Saturday I was snowbound at the cabin, which was so much fun and relaxing. My friend was supposed to fly in, but flights were cancelled and she decided to cancel her trip. Ingrid and Robert were so gracious and invited me to dinner that night, which was lovely. I enjoyed every minute of my time at the cottage. Ingrid and Robert are lovely people. And the retreat was just that - a perfect retreat away from everything! The cottage has everything I needed and more. I was able to do work since there was wifi. If I needed anything, Ingrid and Robert were a phone call away! I was so happy I decided to stay here rather than at the Broadmoor where my conference was located. My experience here was better than I could have expected. I am so grateful to Ingrid and Robert and would love to come back and stay with them again. I would recommend staying here if you want a place to rest, relax, rejuvenate, and feel welcome and taken care of throughout your stay.
LizApril 2016Thank you so much for a fantastic stay. What a lovely place, exactly as the listing. Ingrid and Robert were so welcoming and very helpful about finding places to see and good eating venues. We were pleasantly surprised to find a good stock of groceries and also bathroom necessities and a super bottle of wine to start the holiday off! There was really nothing else you could wish for, such thoughtfulness had gone into making it home from home. We found it a great base for exploring, so glad we had a decent amount of time there, sad to leave as we felt like family. Chatting with Ingrid and Robert over coffee on the deck was most enjoyable. Last but not least, Mozart and Molly also made us feel like we should stay. We would recommend it to anyone, we certainly would visit again. This will be a hard act to follow on Airbnb I am sure.
PaulaJune 2015Ingrid and Bob were delightful hosts! Unfortunately, we didn't have much time to stay as we were on a whirlwind tour of the area and could stay only one night. And got dinner ready too late to partake in their delicious homemade ice cream! We highly recommend their wonderful guest house for a short or long respite. Absolutely delightful.
LauraJune 2012My wife and I had a great experience! This was actually our first AirBnB trip so we weren't sure what to expect, but Ingrid, Robert and the house were exactly as expected. What you see in the pictures is exactly what you see when you arrive for your stay. If you are traveling to Colorado Springs, this is the BEST option. We loved being in the mountains and away from the city, but still close enough to enjoy the activities. It made for a very relaxing trip. Ingrid and Robert were excellent hosts and provided us with everything we needed for a great and memorable vacation. They made us feel like we were at home. Within an hour of arriving we already felt like we had known them forever and were just catching up. Robert and both of us graduated from K-State so we all enjoyed sharing stories of Manhattan, KS. With our schedule we could only stay a couple days, but we wished we could of stayed longer. Ingrid, Robert and the Mountain Retreat will provide a great place to stay on your vacation to the area, hands down. We would recommend them to everyone looking at traveling to the area.
ChristopherJuly 2014The mountain retreat was an absolutely great place to stay. At the base of pikes peak, it was such a wonderful place to relax and spend time with the family. Ingrid and Robert were a delight and were there for anything we needed. Cozy little place to spend a long weekend.
JustinDecember 2016This place is amazing! Awesome couch, bed, kitchen, bathroom, hot tub! Tons of food, they bought us wine! Robert was one incredible gentleman who made us amazing home-made ice cream, shoveled the drive way, paths, and stairs for us every time it snowed! He worked hard to make us feel great! And Ingrid!!! Wow, one awesome woman! She is like that awesome, very sweet grandmother that you want around all the time!! She is such an angel!! You should definitely stay here! The pictures of it aren't great! It's so much better in person!!
TylerFebruary 2015The Mountain Retreat is a very comfortable and welcoming place to stay with all of the amenities of home, but in a cozy setting at the base of Pikes Peak where you feel like you are in a cabin in the woods. It's close to Colorado Springs and plenty of tourist attractions, but far enough away to feel you've gotten away from it all. The hosts, Ingrid and Robert, are the best and I left feeling like I made new friends! The hot tub is great, the apartment super comfortable, and the whole experience was so relaxing and wonderful!

We LOVED our stay at Nancy and Ryan's Colorado Springs Cottage. It was cozy, had a great location and everything was very clean. This has by far been my best experience with an out of town stay. Our family will most definitely be coming back again and again. By the time we left my kids were saying they wish they could live here!
LindsayApril 2016This cottage has been beautifully updated and decorated. It is very warm and cozy. What you see in the pictures is how it is. Nancy and Ryan have thought of everything from spices and picnic supplies to fans and extra bedding and towels. They connected with us to make sure we had everything we needed and to see if we had any questions. The cottage is close to downtown with easy access to tourist attractions. There is a nice park across the street. The neighborhood is quiet. We will stay here again if we're in the area!
LaVonSeptember 2015This was an absolutely amazing place to stay! The photos are accurate and the cottage is adorable. It was very comfortable for my husband, son and I. We were close to everything we wanted to do in the Springs...and by coincidence, we were only 4 blocks away from where I spent a lot of time as a child visiting family! Added bonus for us...We felt very safe in the neighborhood and enjoyed hanging out in the courtyard. We cooked several meals in the cottage as well and had everything we needed. There wasn't any coffee for the morning though :( Be prepared to do a little work before your departure - stripping the bed, cleaning out the fridge, gathering dirty towels and taking out trash and recycling which seems strange when you pay a cleaning fee. Not a huge deal, but we had to leave by 5am to catch a flight from Denver so it wasn't an ideal situation. I also didn't think to request the extra set of sheets or pillows for the pull out couch for our son so I had to just do a make-shift flat sheet with a blanket which was on our bed. Nancy and Ryan were responsive when I texted with a couple questions and left some great touches for the guests. We had a great stay. Thanks for the hospitality!
FeliciaJune 2015Nancy and Ryan put a great deal of care into the presentation of their cozy bungalow. This care was reflected in the cleanliness of their home, their attention to detail in their communications, and even the little surprises with which we were greeted. The bungalow is perfect for a small family. It is located right in front of a beautiful and spacious park. It is also within walking distance of a great coffee shop. The bedroom was quiet and comfortable. We would happily stay at the bungalow again.
MarceloDecember 2015Our stay in the cottage was wonderful. Nancy was a great host, very communicative and kind. This was the perfect place to feel at home in Colorado, and we loved being able to cook breakfast before starting our daily adventures. The neighborhood is safe and secure and within walking distance to Memorial Park, the Olympic Training Center, and a wonderful coffee house. We had plenty of towels and linens for our six night stay, and really enjoyed the pancake mix that Nancy left us for our first breakfast. If we are ever on vacation here again, this would be our first choice for a place to stay.
ColleenSeptember 2016House was exactly like the pictures. Very charming in a nice neighborhood across from a park. Nancy was super helpful and always available. Would definitely rent from her again.
StephanieApril 2015The cottage has all anyone could need, from a full kitchen to the smart TV to the parking spot out back. It's close to attractions and has obviously been carefully thought out. My wife and I enjoyed our stay there quite a bit and recommend it highly.
PeterDecember 2015Nancy and Ryan keep excellent communication. They are helpful and keep a beautiful space in an easily accessible location. Their description was accurate. My son and I stayed for two nights while taking in the local atmosphere. Would highly recommended for two to three.

Tim was very hospitable and we felt very welcome in this cozy cottage. Location is in a great neighborhood and provides privacy for the guests. Will definitely stay here again on our next trip into Colorado Springs!
CynthiaOctober 2016This is a beautiful cottage in the host's backyard located in a quiet and lovely community. The hosts were friendly, detail-oriented and very helpful. Access to the hot tub was great! The cottage was very tidy, included a lot of amenities. I would certainly want to return to this location. Thanks Tim and Cate for making a first time visitor to Colorado feel welcome.
AbrahamNovember 2015We had such a fantastic time at the Writer's Cottage. Tim & Cate are wonderful people. The space is nice and private and feels more spacious than it looks in pictures. Everything we could need was there. This was a great way to have our first AirBNB experience. Great Location, having access to bikes to ride around the neighborhood was a definite bonus. Highly Highly recommended and would stay there again in a heartbeat. Thanks again!
PaulJuly 2016The cottage was darling and had plenty of room. There was fresh fruit and flowers. There were provisions for breakfast. Tim was very gracious and gave us wonderful recommendations for where to eat. The location is perfect. I highly recommend this cottage.
LauraAugust 2016The Writer's cottage was absolutely perfect! We arrived in the afternoon and Tim graciously showed us around the cottage explaining to us how things worked and where everything was. They had a typewriter waiting in the desk with a welcome note, (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) maps print-outs of their favorite restaurants and sites in the city, and a few helpful tips and rules for the cottage. The bed was also extremely comfortable with fresh clean sheets and clean towels. All of the amenities listed were available plus more including little things you may have forgotten when packing. Tim and Cate were always a text away if they weren't at the house and available any time that we needed them. They were also both very knowledgeable about the town and every recommendation that they made was excellent! From the fresh flowers to the amazing collection of music and books, the Writer's cottage is the only place to stay in Colorado Springs!
LaurenSeptember 2016We had a wonderful stay the hosts are very friendly and helpful
Blake and RebeccaAugust 2015Wonderful little place to stay!
SarahFebruary 2016Wonderful experience staying at the Cottage. It's nestled in the heart of the Old North End district surrounded by beautiful, historic homes. Everything was very neat, every amenity thought of and the hosts were very welcoming, advising us on the good eats and places to see. Much nicer than all but the most expensive hotels but at a great price, this will be my first pick the next time I'm in Colorado Springs!

GenieNovember 2016A very kind couple with exceptional hospitality. The apartment was very clean and modern. Amazing view from the balcony on top of that!
EmilDecember 2016Nick was incredible! His apartment was very clean and he was more than helpful in the check in and out process. He even helped us with choosing a hike in Rocky Mountain National Park!
DaveOctober 2016They were very helpful, friendly and accommodating! They patio view was so beautiful I wanted to be out there the whole time!
TamaraOctober 2016We loved this place! Nick was my first host since using the service and the experience i had with him pushed me to continue using airbnb as my service of choice when staying in a new city. The view from Nicks room was amazing, the sunset is true to the picture (taken from balcony). The room where we stayed had the same view. Its a short 20 min drive from garden of the gods. Nick was a very friendly host and i felt very comfortable as if i was staying with a family member. DO NOT THINK TWICE about picking nick for your host, you will not regret it.
RafiJune 2016Nick was the perfect host. The condo was beautiful and the location was great. I would definitely stay again!
HeatherMay 2016Nick was communicative and the condo was top notch. The master bedroom where we stayed was immaculate and reflected the ambience of Colorado Springs. The view of the mountains was icing on the cake. I was running a race the next day early in the morning, and got a great night of sleep. I would recommend this listing to anyone staying in CO Springs.

Sigrid could not have been a more perfect host. She went out of her way to make my stay comfortable and interesting. The information she provided was helpful for area attractions and places to eat. She knew of my special photography interest and pointed me to great locations. The cottage was cozy and close to everything I wanted to visit. My only regret was not staying longer. You will love your host and this cottage.
JeffreyOctober 2016My husband and I loved staying at Sigrid's cottage - so cozy. She's thought of everything - I loved the little notes throughout the place as bonus instructions. Definitely a great stop.
RachelNovember 2016This was my first time using air bnb and it was a wondeful experience. Sigrid communicated with me before the trip and i arrived very late, about 2am and had no problems finding the cottage. The place was absolutely adorable and very functional. Sigrid was available for anything we needed close by. She was very helpful and the place had everything you could need. It was located very close to the downtown area. My only regret is that i couldn't stay longer!
SavannahOctober 2016Sigrid has great attention to detail, and is the example of a perfect host. The cottage itself was spotless and very well designed. The neighborhood is quiet yet very close to downtown.
EddyNovember 2016Sigrid was an amazing host. Her cottage was also amazing. All of the little touches made a difference. She had delicious coffee ready to go, cream in the fridge, fresh fruit in a basket, and offered to make out the couch/bed for my son when we arrived. Her decorations of the cottage is not done justice In the pictures. You can tell she put her heart into making it a home. She has great food recommendations and was always available if we needed another recommendation or advice. My son was instantly drawn to her and she even shared her cucumbers with him out of her garden. The location was perfect; so close to the highway and 5 minutes from downtown. We will definitely be coming back!
AneliessOctober 2016We absolutely loved our stay at Sigrid's cottage. She is a wonderful and hospitable host and was incredibly accommodating during our weekend in the Springs. The cottage is in a great location, cozy, adorable, super clean, and the bed is really comfortable! I highly recommend Sigrid's place!
AmandaMarch 2017Absolutely amazing little cottage to say at. Perfect amount of room to feel just like home, already equipped with everything you need. Her soaps and candles are to die for as well! We got to talk with the host after our stay, just a lovely woman, knowledgeable about the Springs. So if you need recommendations definitely talk to her, she's the sweetest!
AngelinaFebruary 2017This was our first time using Airbnb. Sigrid and her cottage have set the bar HIGH! What a great experience!!! Sigrid was easy to communicate with and very accommodating during our stay. The cottage was cozy and comfortable, with all the amenities needed to feel at home while we were there. I would highly recommend Sigrid's cottage if you are planning to stay in the Colorado Springs area.

AdrienneMarch 2017It is an amazing overall stay and the dog is just icing on the cake
BenedictMarch 2017The bed could not have been more comfortable. My partner, dog, and I had a great stay and felt very at home in Amanda's house.
BenMarch 2017The home is in a suburb of Colo Spgs, and is new, very clean, and easy to find. I found Matt and Amanda gracious and polite, and would highly reccomend the stay to any traveler
DadlerFebruary 2017Enjoyable experience for many reasons. We weren't able to meet Amanda during our stay but Matt was a great host. We felt welcome instantly. Greeted by one of the most handsom Bulldogs you'll meet-he stole our attention. The space was clean and we appreciated that. They even allowed us to come by before check in to get settled and rested from being on the road. Amanda was so helpful in the beginning reaching out, discussing plans, and making arrangements. She made the whole experience smooth without even meeting her. Matt was around when we needed him but was also respectful of our privacy. Easy to converse with, we spent time talking Colorado, skiing, home brew, and travel. Maybe you'll be lucky enough to try some home brewed rootbeer, it was a delight! Josh wants to add to the review, I love, love, love Rosco.

Katie and Amanda were very nice and friendly and made us feel right at home. They notified us of hiking trails and other cool places to visit. They got to know us as individuals and treated us as their friends. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a cheap stay and friendly hosts.
BaileyFebruary 2017This might be the best value I'm come across in airbnb land! Katie and Amanda are perfect humans. The bed was incredibly comfortable and cozy for being a mattress on the floor. The house was clean, and there were plenty of natural breakfast foods available in the morning. Katie also made me the best cup of coffee I've had, and we chatted the morning away before my departure!
DarrinMarch 2017This is a great place for anyone looking for value with great hosts. The artistic decorations in their home will inspire you to see beauty in all things. Their dogs are friendly too. Overall a wonderful experience.

DougNovember 2016We had a very short (one night) stay here. We arrived fairly late, 9:30 PM, and Eric happily met us to show us inside the comfortable living space. It was very private, extremely clean and the bed was the most comfortable we have ever slept on. It was very close to the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs which was why we selected it. I wish we would've had more time to spend there. We will definitely book again when we come back to the area.
KathleenFebruary 2017This was our first experience with Air B&B & it was sooo much nicer then staying in a hotel! It was very clean & quiet. We got in later then expected & were exhausted & I must say, it was so homey & comfortable & we slept so good! Highly recommended

lukeJanuary 2017Jerilyn and Eric were very accommodating, staying up late to help us check in when my flight was delayed. Our room was very private and comfortable, and we were generously offered the use of their Keurig, some snack bars, plenty of water bottles, and plenty of warm blankets for when it got cold. One of the best Air BnB's we've stayed at!

JeffreyFebruary 2017I really enjoyed our stay at Darcie's place in Colorado Springs near Colorado College. I admire the materials used, the furniture choices and the appliances in this special apartment. While it is cozy, I would not call it small. For two of us, the two bedrooms are a nice size and the living area and kitchen are as big as I would want. The place is very clean and everything works well. I love the view of Pikes Peak from the living area and from the deck. Darcie and Ryan are very nice hosts and will make sure you have what you need and provide local suggestions if needed.

MarcoFebruary 2017I had the best experience at Satomi's house! She and her boyfriend went way above and beyond to make my dog and I feel welcomed. They were extremely gracious about my late arrival (after midnight), and offered to give me a different bedroom in order to allow me to sleep in later than the usual checkout time. I can not thank them enough for that, as I had just finished traveling 13 hours. The fenced backyard was huge, and my dog loved playing with the puppy and dog! Satomi's boyfriend made me breakfast the next morning (for free!), and we ended up chatting for quite a while. I highly recommend anyone staying in Springs to check out their house, as it could not have been a better deal for the price! Meeting people like Satomi and her boyfriend is a perfect example of why I love AirBnB.

Alice is very helpful and hospitable..goes out the way to make your stay good. Best Airbnb yet for me
MikeMarch 2017If you are looking for the ultimate in value and experience , Alice's studio is perfect ! When you get a cozy, clean space run by a kind and considerate host in an amazing location, this is what makes Airbnb so useful in our world . The price is great , there are homey and artistic touches everywhere , the bed is comfortable , the shower lovely . I had such a nice sense of peace and felt well taken care of . If the weather is good and you get to sit in the garden with your coffee, major bonus ! So close to downtown and open spaces on the west side also . I will definitely rebook this spot and my daughter loves it also !
CatchDecember 2016The studio was perfect for my stay! Alice was very accommodating with check-in and check-out times and her space was warm and inviting. She also provided some breakfast items, which were much appreciated and meant that I didn't have to go to the store.
AnnaFebruary 2017Alice's apartment was just as described. Cute and comfortable with everything you need to make your stay enjoyable. Very close to downtown Colorado Springs. I was able to drive to work in about 5 min even in the snow!
LauraJanuary 2017One of my favorite AirBNB experiences! Alice is an incredible host and goes out of her way to make sure you have a great experience. She was very accommodating of our late arrival and departure times, and took the time to welcome us when we arrived and show us around the apartment. She also checked in on us every day via text to make sure we had everything we needed. The apartment is well-maintained and exactly as pictured. Alice is a retired art teacher so there's lots of interesting art on the walls. The kitchen was stocked with coffee/tea, breakfast items, fresh fruit, and even some home made eclairs! The location is a few minutes drive from downtown Colorado Springs, where there are a bunch of cute shops and restaurants. It's unfortunately not walkable since it's on the other side of the highway, but it's a cheap (ll definitely be staying here again if I return to Colorado Springs!
KristenJanuary 2017This was my first experience with airbnb, and everyone else will have a hard time living up to Alice's house. I felt like a long lost family member coming home. My space was perfect, with little snacks and coffee things for the morning, fluffy towels, and comfy bed: all the amenities. Thank you Alice!

The Glass House is a cozy and beautiful room with an amazing and inspiring view of the mountains. Her house felt clean, welcoming and a self-served breakfast was offered during the morning. Her dogs were so nice and loving! My partner and I are glad we choose Kari's place and we recommend it as one of the places to stay while you are "airbnb'n" in Colorado Springs!

I fell in love automatically with the area, and the respect for people's privacy was outstanding. Everyone was so chill, I Totally recommend staying there to anyone
AprilSeptember 2016Kari and Chauncey were wonderful hosts. Very easy to talk to and get along with, plus their dogs are a wonderful addition :) The room was great- bed was super comfortable and the shades kept it nice and dark for as long as one could want. Also their shower was the best one I had during my entire 10 day road trip.
CharlotteJuly 2016We had an incredible experience in Colorado Springs staying with Kari, Chauncey and their awesome four dogs. We felt very welcomed from the moment we walked through the door until our final goodbyes. They were respectful of our privacy, generous with the wonderful amenities their home naturally provided to us, such as a spacious backyard, a room to lounge and smoke in, and a parking space! I highly recommend this home to anyone looking to explore Colorado Springs with a wholesome family atmosphere.
ShannaOctober 2016Kari and her husband Chauncey were very flexible in accommodating us with our late checkin. Common area living room were big and spacious, the gas fire pit outdoor by the porche served as a nice hangout space at night. The 4 dogs they had were very friendly and welcoming to guests. The glass room we stayed at was clean and the beds were comfortable. I would recommend this place to anyone who's visiting Colorado Springs.
RyanJune 2016The best Airbnb we stayed at during our week long vacation. I would highly recommend Kari's place.
RyanAugust 2016it was really a nice stay, even though the stay was for short duration.
SajayAugust 2016It was a great place to stay! He house was spacious, the dogs are adorable, and there's even a great backyard for your enjoyment. For me it was a great spot for some yoga in the morning. Breakfast was also very nice. I highly recommend this place if you're in the area!

This was our 1st Air BNB booking and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The Cozy Cottage space was perfect for my husband and I and very welcoming. The host provided us with easy directions and they were always available and easy to get ahold of. They had snacks available for us and water in the fridge which was a nice surprise! The location to the attractions we wanted to visit was perfect! Great proximity to Garden of the Gods and Pikes Peak as well as close to downtown Colorado Springs. We had a great time here and we were very comfortable.
SherryJune 2016A delightful short stay in the cottage. Couldn't have asked for more!
ChristianJanuary 2016This cottage was wonderful! It fit my husband, my two young children, and myself perfectly. It was very clean and stylish. Julie put in extra efforts to make us feel welcome, including setting up a pack'n'play and high chair for my young son, preparing the futon for my daughter to sleep on, having snacks and cold drinks available on our arrival, and even having a handwritten note welcoming us. The kitchenette had every cooking item and utensil we could need, there were plenty of clean towels and linens, there were small shampoos, lotions, toothbrushes and toothpaste, and there were even kids toys, books, and puzzles. The television is hooked up to a Roku system and it was easy to pull up Netflix, Youtube, and Amazon prime. The A/C worked very well. We also had a private entrance. Julie also contacted me during our stay to ensure everything was going well and ask if there was anything we needed. Also, when we accidentally left a cell phone charger, she offered to mail it back to us. This BnB experience beats the hotels we've stayed at in the Springs hands down, and for a better price! We will definitely be repeat customers when we return for our annual family get-togethers. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience!
JulieJuly 2016Julie and Jeremy's place was so wonderful! It was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The bed was very comfortable too. I will definitely be staying here again and I HIGHLY recommend their place if you are looking for a great time in Colorado Springs!
KellyNovember 2015Perfect place for intimacy and quiet. Great location. The little details, coffee, honey, cold drinks were much appreciated.
CindyApril 2016Julie and Jeremy's place was wonderful once again! I travel to Colorado often and their place is always my go to place to stay. It is so clean and it is stocked with anything you might need! Plus, Julie and Jeremy are super friendly!!
KellyJanuary 2016The cottage was perfect for a vacation getaway for my mom and myself! It was very clean and neat, and the decorating is adorable! Julie was great with communicating details of our stay and was available if we had any questions. The snacks and coffee provided were perfect and the location was a central point to a lot of the attractions we wanted to see. I would definitely recommend staying at the Cozy Cottage, Julie and Jeremy were great hosts and made our stay very enjoyable!
KylieSeptember 2016We truly enjoyed our time at the cottage. We got pretty much snowed in one of the days there and didn't even care cause the cottage felt like home. Julie and Jeremy also have some great recommendations for you to look over, I highly recommend going to the Ivywild School.

Paula is a wonderful host! We had such a great time and the cabin was just right. It's location is right on the stream and right by a trailhead. Perfect for peace and adventure!
JoshuaFebruary 2017Paula's place is everything you want in a cabin in the woods. Quiet, scenic neighborhood literally steps from great trails. Comfortable and furnished with beautiful wood pieces, a cozy living area and bedroom with windows to watch the sunrise or look at the stars. This place feels"lived in" in the best way- all the comforts and amenities you'd want in your own home- not the cheaper "cabin version" you find in many vacation homes. Great book and movie selection, and I almost wish we had forgotten to bring drinks because there were some tasty looking bottles of wine and beer available (with honor box for $$ contributions). Overall: amazing/peaceful location and a comfortable cabin with everything you need. Serenity awaits! Thanks again Paula.
ElizabethJanuary 2017This place was amazing! Super cozy and cute, we loved the view from the room while waking up in the morning. The bathtub was also really really nice to have and so was the fireplace! We would love to come back to visit in the summer. I would definitely recommend staying here! The only draw back is that there isn't a oven, which was hilarious when we realized that after buying our groceries. The kitchen had everything I needed otherwise to get the job done on the stove. :) thanks again Paula, it was awesome!!!
JaymeJanuary 2017Stayed here for a birthday getaway with my husband. We had a GREAT time. Paula has thought of so many details, and her communication with us was above expectations. We used the fireplace everyday/night. Loved waking up to the sound of the creek. Location was great, off the beaten path, but an easy drive to Woodland Park or Co Springs. Highly recommend this cabin and working with Paula. I had a great birthday! Thanks Paula!
HeatherMarch 2017This is what I want a cabin in the woods to be! Log on the outside and absolutely beautiful detailed woodwork inside- pictures can't capture how warmly this cabin wraps its arms around you. Loved the fireplace and the huge sheepskin rug in front of it. I appreciated the fact that there was wine available to enjoy, since I forgot to pack some, and the winter's night called for it. That big waterfall In the pictures- you can lay in bed and see it and listen to the sound of the creek flowing right by the deck. Appreciated the leisurely checkout time so I could enjoy the morning there. Love that once you are here you can walk to the little town or straight up into the mountains right from the front door! Thanks Paula, I ll be back!

Sali was very responsive. She made you feel like part of the family. She is very kind.
MaylingSeptember 2016I was immediately welcomed and befriended. Everything was top-notch. I really couldn't have asked for a better place to stay.
davidSeptember 2016This was my first experience with using Airbnb, and I have to say it was a pleasure! I needed to come up and look for a place to live. Sali was extremely welcoming and friendly when I arrived around 8pm. She greeted me with a glass of wine, and provided some snacks as well as coffee/tea/breakfast items for the following morning. This allowed me to get settled and situated after a long 14 hour drive. The room was nicer than the photos allow. It is very spacious for a studio style place. The kitchen area has a two burner cooktop, a microwave, mini fridge, sink, and counter top oven. Everything you could think of needing is provided including utensils, dishes, etc. It's located in a lovely quiet neighborhood that is close to quite a bit of things. My host, Sali, was very sweet! She allowed me my privacy but still ensured I had everything I needed. She also was very willing to help me with learning about the area when I told her I was looking for a place to live. Her advice definitely played a part in where I looked. Checkout was a breeze as well. I would highly recommend her place to anyone!
RachelleSeptember 2016Everything has just been as per the description on AirBnB. Sali was just so wonderful and helpful, I don't know what I would have done without her. The studio had everything that I needed for my fresh start in Colorado Springs. I didn't have to worry about anything. I can only recommend this place as it is great value for money.
PetraOctober 2016Sali is a wonderful host! I was so happy in her studio. Everything was perfect and she even had some extras like coffee and treats, super comfy bed. I would definitely come back.
SummerDecember 2016Sali is an exemplary host. She not only listened to my needs prior to my arrival, she went beyond. She provided plenty of snacks, towels, and extra bedding should I need it. The neighborhood is safe and accessible. The studio is light and inviting; I felt warm and cozy there in the dead of winter. She responded quickly to messages and took great care of me without being the least bit intrusive. The most impressive thing she did was making ready an airbed, toys, a dollhouse and books for me to entertain my two young granddaughters. Poor Sali was very sick during my stay and this did not lower the quality of her care for me one iota. Thanks and I hope to stay again!
SuzanneJanuary 2017This a perfect little studio. Has everything you need for a short or long term stay. Would be comfortable for up to two people. The bed is very comfortable. It is great to have the access to many cable channels and HBO. The bathroom is a lot bigger in person and has everything you need. The kitchen is cook in friendly and the place is so cute and comfortable. I also liked having a private entrance. Sali is always available if you need anything, but having privacy is nice too!
AshleyFebruary 2017Sail's studio is perfectly located in the city and easy to find. She had snacks, muffins, cookies, and other breakfast esstinals prepared for our arrival. The studio was larger than what we expected, clean, and has everything you need to stay comfortably. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and hope to return in the future. Thank you Sali!

The National Weather Service urges residents to keep abreast of local forecasts and warnings and familiarize themselves with key weather terminology.
Winter Storm Warning: Issued when hazardous winter weather in the form of heavy snow, heavy freezing rain, or heavy sleet is imminent or occurring. Winter Storm Warnings are usually issued 12 to 24 hours before the event is expected to begin.
Winter Storm Watch: Alerts the public to the possibility of a blizzard, heavy snow, heavy freezing rain, or heavy sleet. Winter Storm Watches are usually issued 12 to 48 hours before the beginning of a Winter Storm.
Winter Storm Outlook: Issued prior to a Winter Storm Watch. The Outlook is given when forecasters believe winter storm conditions are possible and are usually issued 3 to 5 days in advance of a winter storm.
Blizzard Warning: Issued for sustained or gusty winds of 35 mph or more, and falling or blowing snow creating visibilities at or below ¼ mile; these conditions should persist for at least three hours.
Lake Effect Snow Warning: Issued when heavy lake effect snow is imminent or occurring.
Lake Effect Snow Advisory: Issued when accumulation of lake effect snow will cause significant inconvenience.
Wind Chill Warning: Issued when wind chill temperatures are expected to be hazardous to life within several minutes of exposure.
Wind Chill Advisory: Issued when wind chill temperatures are expected to be a significant inconvenience to life with prolonged exposure, and, if caution is not exercised, could lead to hazardous exposure.
Winter Weather Advisories: Issued for accumulations of snow, freezing rain, freezing drizzle, and sleet which will cause significant inconveniences and, if caution is not exercised, could lead to life-threatening situations.
Dense Fog Advisory: Issued when fog will reduce visibility to ¼ mile or less over a widespread area.
Snow Flurries: Light snow falling for short durations. No accumulation or light dusting is all that is expected.
Snow Showers: Snow falling at varying intensities for brief periods of time. Some accumulation is possible.
Snow Squalls: Brief, intense snow showers accompanied by strong, gusty winds. Accumulation may be significant. Snow squalls are best known in the Great Lakes region.
Blowing Snow: Wind-driven snow that reduces visibility and causes significant drifting. Blowing snow may be snow that is falling and/or loose snow on the ground picked up by the wind.
Sleet: Rain drops that freeze into ice pellets before reaching the ground. Sleet usually bounces when hitting a surface and does not stick to objects. However, it can accumulate like snow and cause a hazard to motorists.
Freezing Rain: Rain that falls onto a surface with a temperature below freezing. This causes it to freeze to surfaces, such as trees, cars, and roads, forming a coating or glaze of ice. Even small accumulations of ice can cause a significant hazard.

While providing only minimal directions and options, the editors at NAILS commissioned five nails agents to create individual works of art on three separate missions. The first group had to use black and white polishes to create nail tips, the second use any and all shades of red polish to create nail tips, and the third group use white, silver, and gold polishes to create nail tips. The "agents" we enlisted for this special project were Sayaka Sako of Toronto, Ontario, Canada; Yoko Dykes of Marysville, Wash.; Elsbeth Schuetz of Orange, Calif.; Mia Kim of New York, N.Y.; and Christie Lovett of Ocean View, Hawaii

I bought it primarily to cover up bruises and scars on my legs as I am forever running into things while at work. Since the color does not match my skintone exactly I set it with a bronzing powder for a very realistic look. It is a thin cream and a little goes a very long way, so the big tube will last forever. The product, once set with a powder won't budge or rub off even when wearing white in the hot humid summer of south Florida. I definitely recommend this product.
4I've been using Dermablend Leg & Body for a few years now, and I wouldn't change to any other brand even if you paid me!! This covers imperfections like a dream. Spider veins: Gone! Sun damage: Gone! Freckles and moles: Gone! My legs look completely flawless with just a light coat of this body makeup. It's also great for using on your arms, neck, and chest.
Even during hot Florida summers, this stuff doesn't budge! It's completely sweat-proof and lasts all day or night!
The color looks super natural; like your skin, but much, much better.
I've even used this mixed with a little moisturizer on my face, and the coverage is flawless! The best part is it doesn't clog my pores or cause breakouts. Just make sure to really scrub it off. You have to use a body scrub, not just soap and water.
On the Dermablend website they show this covering a woman's entire arm of tattoos and this is why I bought it. However it took atleast four layers to cover my quarter sized tattoo, so I was very disappointed about that. And the color selection on here wasn't the best, I got natural because it was the lightest one birchbox offered and it was still too dark for my skintone.
I gave it 3 stars still because it does cover imperfection like dark spots, but didn't cover what I wanted it too and what was advertised too.

I love Altec too, over the past 15 years I have found myself restoring quite a few A4s and A7s in cinemas around sydney. My favorite find was a former CINERAMA modified multicell horn, lead lined and sand filled, It sounded amazing, if you have a standard one I do suggest you modify yours, you would never regret it!!!
Personally I would be carefull of running Altecs to loud as apparently a few theatres burnt down in america when the original valve amps were replaced with hi power IC ones . They are plenty loud enough at 60 w Other thing worth trying open cell foam inside the box instead of fiberglass, pointy style (matress underlay) placed directly behind the woofers helps break up the standing waves that reflect back through the cone. anyway enjoy anyone know how much a couple of original A4 crossovers are worth, I have some altec horns and compression drivers lying around ect |

I was hoping we might see you here. I agree with your thoughts but... This is really just something to scratch an itch or repair a wound, I'm not sure. I haven't built anything to speak of recently and have the 811's sitting on the shelf gathering dust. The darn 825 cabinets are in the garage with me while I work so I keep looking at them. Again and again I stare at them. And then it hits me, the horn that is, it falls off the shelf right onto my head. I had a vision. I knew what I had to do. One thing led to another and the mids were on their way. What can I say? I don't try and suppress the signs, I simply go with them. I have lined up the flanges on a double slotted board with about 1/2" between them and supported the backs. Looks pretty good. My name is Cal and I'm a speakerholic. |

"Had to sell 'em to moved to Oz??? Why? They have more room than they know what to do with down there."
I have 95 acres out the back door. And no big Altecs running at the moment. I wonder if I could borrow Cals on New Years Eve. I mentioned Model Nineteens some time earlier today, when I should have said model 9's. The 19s weren't here then. You big horn guys have frightened the home models, so I'll break the ice with these Atlantics. I haven't much info on them. They are similar to the Model 1s. These were made April 81. The bass driver is similar to the 755. The magnet is smaller, and the cone slightly different. I have been looking for the original data sheet, without joy. I got these for nothing, with a NAD Model 120 Tuner amp thrown in. That's good value. |

Review: Jane and the Unpleasantness at Scargrave Manor By Stephanie Barron
In my attempt to complete my Jane Austen Spin-off Challenge 2012 I started to read Jane and the Unpleasantness at Scargrave Manor for my Jane Austen as the main character category. I still had two categories to finish, so it was a fail on the challenge, but in the process I read some really great books! So, that's a win!!
The story, Jane and the Unpleasantness at Scargrave Manor is an excellent mystery! It felt like Jane wrote the book herself! According to the Editor's Foreword that's what it is, manuscripts written by Jane Austen, and edited by Stephanie Barron. I do not know if this is true or part of the story, but I enjoyed the story immensely!
After accepting and breaking a marriage proposal from Harris Bigg-Wither's within a twenty-four hour period, Jane Austen accepts an invitation to visit her dear friend Isobel, Countess of Scargrave, at their country home Scargrave Manor. Newly married, her husband, the Earl is throwing a ball in her honor. During the ball, the Earl becomes violently ill and dies at dawn the next morning. Isobel's maid disappears shortly after and is found dead a few days later. Rumors of an affair between Isobel and Viscount Payne, the Earl's nephew begin to circulate. Isobel and the Viscount are accused of the murders, and it all looks bleak indeed! Jane races against the clock to find the true murderer!
Isobel is sent to Newgate prison to await her trial before the Bar. Newgate is a horrible place to be, and although it is not the main focus, Barron doesn't make light of it. Isobel is in despair there.
I loved how much Jane reminded me of Elizabeth Bennett. Another person, Lieutenant Hearst, a member of the Earl's family had strong hints of Wickham and Frank Churchill. There are also well recognized Austen lines placed here and there along the story. I loved finding them!
I was at a loss as to guess whodunit, there are a cast of characters whom all would benefit from the Earl's death! If you enjoy a good mystery and Jane Austen, this is the book for you! With ghosts and murder, it has the feel of a gothic novel!
Jane and the Unpleasantness at Scargrave Manor is the first book of eleven Jane Austen mysteries by Stephanie Barron. Have you read any of them?
4 out of 5 stars.
I purchased my copy of Jane and the Unpleasantness at Scargrave Manor.

I've read Barron's mystery about Jane and Lord Byron. U was fascinated by Lord Byron and Caroline Lamb. Jane was basically a second fiddle, but I really enjoyed the book.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't heard of these books, they sound interesting. I quite like a bit of mystery. I can't often work out the culprit but it doesn't stop me enjoying them!
ReplyDeleteI love finding hidden Austen quotes in novels! It makes my reading so much more enjoyable! :) Thanks for the review, Candy!
