The cabin is very dated. The stove needs to be replaced itâs unsafe (has a short on the left burner) turns on when no one is around.The beck furniture is torn, the grill is unusable, the downstairs couch smells like cat urine, you have provide your own eating utensils.The positive side:The property manager is great getting back with you. The check-in and checkout process is very easy. The view of Pikes Peak is beautiful, with deer and other wildlife on the property.
The house and location is great. However, even though the listing and rules contract say only dogs they have cats that have been there. Cats that werenât neutered and sprayed and peed every where in the basement. I contracted the owner and was told âitâs pet friendly â I own personally three cats and having urine everywhere is not acceptable pet owner behavior. We were stuck as we had no money so we kept windows open and simmered cinnamon and vanilla constantly. I did have friends leave due to allergic reactions. So even though it says only dogs itâs not true. Be prepared for living in cat urine. But hey if you canât smell itâs pretty!
The road was very hard to see.
The upstairs was horribly hot and the bottom floor was cold. We called to have the thermostat adjusted but were told it could not be changed. It was freezing outside but the only relief from the heat was to open a window.
There is a broken drawer in the kitchen. Wires were exposed on the stove for heating (that you are not allowed to use).
The towels are poor quality.
There were no kitchen towels or hot pads.
The beds were comfortable and the house had plenty of room.
A huge deposit was required! I did get it back, but 2 months of credit card debt added to the cost of the house.
I would recommend dropping this property from your listing.
Very nice cabin! Amazing view of pikes peak from the front porch. Fenced in area for our dogs to play and more than enough room to spread out. Large updated kitchen and not 1 not 2 but 3 decks to take in the views! We will definitely be back!
The property was difficult to find as the address is not clearly marked by a road sign. It is about 30-35 mins from USAFA. The home is rustic and older but met our needs. The beds were hard and not super comfortable in some of the rooms.
Definitely recommend this home if youâre looking for a haunted, exhilarating experience. Google Black Forrest and youâll find an article about the home next door that is one of the most haunted homes in Colorado.. The moment we stepped into the home I got a disconcerting feeling. Ended up staying up all night and left the second night out of fear. Just beware before booking.
