Great property in Old Colorado City. Easily walkable to the main shopping/entertainment/dining district. Property was clean and exactly as described. Off street parking was a huge benefit. We arrived early and they allowed us to check in early which permitted us to enjoy the area after unpacking.

Our Stay was Terrific!

This cute house was absolutely perfect in every way! Enjoyed walking to Old Colorado City’s downtown. The outside patio in the back of the house was so relaxing. Quiet little neighborhood. The checkin was without a hitch and each time I reached out to the owners, (before and during) our stay they responded quickly. Would definitely recommend this house!

Great house and location!

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay. The house was cute, clean and well stocked. Great location. It was perfect for everything we were doing (within 15 minutes of virtually everything) and a very short walk to so many things in Old Colorado City. It has an awesome front porch. We spent a lot of time enjoying it in the early mornings and evenings. Beth & John communicated well with us while we were there. We would definitely stay there again.

The house was wonderful! The towels, amenities, dishes, neighborhood, etc were perfect. If I had to find anything to mention as a flaw, it would be that it’s noisy/creaky. It is an older home with floating pergola flooring, so it does creak. This also causes the beds to be noisy when moving in them at night. Last would be the smell of dog. It hits you when you enter but it quickly leaves your senses. I am an animal lover. We too have 2 dogs, so we understand how that occurs. All in all it was a great place to stay and I would recommend it! The flaws are not a reason to steer clear. Great place and the owners do pay attention to all the details! Thank you!

“Gem” is the word for this jewel of a property!

We were fortunate enough to get to spend four months in this house, and we would gladly have stayed another four months! Everything about this property is 5-star: the beds are incredibly comfortable; the kitchen has everything you need; the tv is huge; the dining room is a great gathering spot; the layout is super comfortable. The neighborhood is the best for enjoying all that Old Colorado City offers — it’s a short walk to Bancroft Park, yet it’s very quiet and peaceful at the house. Our dog loved the yard. The hosts are fabulous— very responsive and super pleasant to deal with. There was literally nothing not to love about this house. We can’t imagine staying anywhere else if we come back to the Springs!

Wonderful quaint home in OCC!

My husband and I recently had an awesome 7 night stay at this wonderful quaint home in OCC. The location is great, within minutes and walking distance to stroll the main streets of OCC, visit great restaurants, breweries, fly shops, etc. It's a great hub for day trips into the Mountains, Woodland Park, Cripple Creek, Leadville, Breckenridge, Deckers, etc. Also, minutes to Garden of the Gods, Manitou Springs, The Broadmoor, Pikes Peak, Cheyenne Mtn Zoo and other great attractions in this beautiful area. The hosts, John and Beth, were absolutely the best! There communication was great and really fast. I asked many questions and asked opinions on restaurants, grocery stores, etc. and they were happy to assist. Always very helpful and timely! The home is very, very clean, we felt so right at home! Great kitchen with everything you need for cooking. We absolutely loved the front porch for evening drinks and morning coffee. A very, very quiet neighborhood with locals walking in the mornings and offering a friendly wave and Good Morning! The off street parking is very nice too. The beds were great, with Purple mattresses, we slept well. A wonderful home to stay, we will definately be back, we truly enjoyed the home and highly recommend. Thank you John and Beth for making our getaway awesome! Marty and Debi

Thanks for accommodating us

I really appreciate the managers being able to accommodate the early arrival of my best friend prior to my arrival. The quiet neighborhood and closeness to Old Colorado City made for a great walk. I spent several hours over the few days I was there, hanging out on the porch.

We had a fabulous stay. The owner was fast to respond to our messages, friendly and very accommodating. The house is close to shops, activities, and Old Colorado City. The house is so cozy. The beds were very comfortable. The back patio is adorable. We enjoyed the roses and other flowers. It was a bonus to have a driveway to park in after a long day/evening of sightseeing!I would most definitely recommend staying at Old Colorado Coty Gem.
