We were pleasantly impressed with the location (disconnected from hustle but yet close enough), the home (loved the decor, the attention to detail, all the extra items that were available, the spacious sleeping quarters), the animals/pets and ofcourse⊠the views!!Erika and John were so attentive starting from the time I booked, to helping me locate a tire shop that was open (they called ahead of my arrival to make sure it was open) to teaching me how to work my manual gears in my own car (first time in the mountains) and providing a list of local events and activities. We truly enjoyed our short stay at The Retreat and would return if ever we plan to go back to Colorado.
We had a great time staying with our college age twins for a few days together. The house was very clean and the area was beautiful. We all had plenty of room and privacy. We missed not having a television for about one day then quickly got over it. We were gone daily to Pikes Peak, The Royal Gorge Bridge, or Garden of the Gods. We cooked at night and had a great time being together.
Let me start by saying, If I could give Erika more than 5 stars, I would! I brought my parents on this trip, once we arrived, my Mom was having a terrible time breathing. To the point we considered leaving and I reached out to Erika, she was so kind and willing to help in any way that she could. My parents left and my husband and I ended up staying. The house was amazing, the view and birds were nothing short of stellar! The only thing I will mention to take note of when booking, there are no TVâs in the house.
We had no idea how being in this special place helped. us turn down the noise in our life. The property is so beautiful, well taken care for, comfortable. The view, the stars, the wildlife, the presence of beauty, all exist here. The pics does not do this property justice. Several fun little towns with history and special events are nearby. Our recommendation is to have an extended stay and take it all in.
Beautiful, clean property with a luxurious feel. Our family was able to spend some quality time together and connect through playing games and reading a variety of books at the cabin. Our kids loved the surrounding outdoors; all the beautiful views, hikes and birds to see. The cabin had so many thoughtful touches and details that it made our stay simple and enjoyable. (Flashlights, coffee and tea, great cookware to make meals together.) The deck has stunning views and was our favorite place to rest together. Overall it was a great place to relax and reconnect with my family. Thank you for the great stay!
Kids and adults loved hiking in the backyard and nearby state parks. When not hiking we relaxed on the deck with breathtaking views. Fully stocked kitchen for cooking. We enjoyed games, local books and puzzles. Would definitely go again.
Our family had a wonderful time at Starry Ridge! The views were amazing.
This was just the second time we had used VRBO and it was very smooth. We didnt need to ask a lot of queations but when we did, our host did a great job letting us know what was going on and how to gets ready!
We had an amazing experience staying at this property. We had 8 people with us, including 4 teenagers, and 2 elderly. The house had everything you could ever need or want! Waking up every morning having a cup of coffee or a glass of in the evening on the deck, couldnât have been any more gorgeous! Would absolutely recommend this house!!!
