The house and property are beautiful. This was a perfect weekend escape for a friend’s wedding. We would absolutely stay here again. Keep an eye out for deer, elk, and bears! We saw all three from the patio.

We stayed there after a wedding and it was wonderful. The property was more than big enough. The views were incredible and we actually planned to come and stay again maybe next summer.

Excellent Cabin and Location

We had a group of five leaders meeting at the cabin for an offsite work meeting for a few days. It was even better than the pictures showed! This was an excellent facility for us - lots of room, beautiful setting - felt like it was remote, but was only 15-20 minutes from restaurants, etc. We would definitely stay there again!

Peaceful rural setting away from the hustle and bustle, but close enough to be within easy reach of all Colorado Springs attractions. Amazing mountain views from the back decks, with frequent wildlife appearances.

Great property!! The property was very spacious for our family of eight to enjoy the holiday weekend. The kitchen was fully stocked and enabled us to cook our holiday feast. The views of the mountains and valley were awesome, especially after we received some snowfall. We would definitely stay at this property again in the future. Thank you hosts!!

Great vacation house!

What a great house! The view can’t be beat. Four bedrooms, plus an office, a game room with a foosball table, a den with a kids reading book, and two patios with a hot tub. The drive can be tricky in bad weather. Well stocked kitchen with several coffee makers. Toiletries in every bathroom.

Perfect Mountain Getaway

Our stay was short, really too short to truly enjoy this house and its surroundings. The dirt road to get there added to the experience and being able to look out the entire backside with no neighbors was just what you'd expect from a Colorado home. Super clean, comfortable beds, terrific kitchen (even though we didn't do any cooking or eating at the house). We highly recommend the Bronco House.

As others have mentioned, the photos don’t do this house and location justice! The house is spacious and had room for everyone. My daughter was excited to find the little hidden playroom; and I was too as that room wasn’t shown in the photos. We loved watching the wildlife everyday out back and hated to even leave the house because we didn’t want to miss anything exciting. I would recommend this house to anyone! The only minor things that may need attention are:We could have used a few more coffee mugs (only found 4 in the kitchen , and we never found any steak knives. And additional hand towels in the bathrooms would be nice (only had one in each bathroom).

Beautiful spacious home with amazing Mountain View!

We immensely enjoyed our stay at the Bronco house! The pictures online honestly don’t do it justice. The home is even more beautiful and spacious in person, and the Mountain View was MUCH better than I had anticipated. The home was very clean, very comfortable beds, and my children absolutely loved the secret kids nook with books and toys. The hosts were very responsive. We were definitely not ready to leave and would absolutely stay there again!
