After your day of sight seeing you can end your day by drinking a glass of wine watching the sunset over Garden of the Gods on the deck.

Clean, Comfortable, Quiet and a Panoramic View
Grandparents looking after grandson while son and daughter-in-law attended a wedding. The house was immaculately clean, quiet, roomy enough for us, beautifully furnished, very well equipped, and had very comfortable beds. Bedrooms on different levels made for great privacy. The host was very helpful and accommodating. The 360-degree view from the rooftop deck is beautiful. Unfortunately, rainy weather prevented us from enjoying the fire table up there, which would have been a cherry on top. Overall, it was an excellent place for our stay.

Wonderful House!
"Counting Stars" is the best VRBO property I have ever rented. The location was perfect. It was so easy to visit Garden of the Gods, Eyrie Castle, Seven Falls, The Broadmoor, Pikes Peak and the Royal Gorge. Very close to Manitou Springs, Old Colorado City and downtown Colorado Springs. The house is so comfortable and fully equipped. The roof top deck is really great with nice views and a fire pit. The host, Debbie, is wo derful yo work with. Her response time is so impressive and she provides wonderful suggestions and information. Do not hesitate to rent this property. You will love it! Pikes Peak

Absolutely Amazing
We were in town over the holiday weekend to visit our son who lives nearby. This property is very well appointed with our needs being covered. We enjoyed the roof deck and the perfect Colorado fall weather. Beds were also very comfortable. The owner was great with communication. (written by our 13 yo who loved it) - This property was the best house we could’ve stayed at in Colorado Springs. It was perfect for our family needs as we were able to watch movies in the family room and hang out and talk on the rooftop patio - that was the best. The lot was just two blocks down and an easy walk to a spacious park with a swing set and park equipment and it had an open area with a perfect spot for some games like football.

Perfect Stay in Colorado Springs
Debbie (the host) is wonderful, the adobe had a perfect location for all that we wanted to do, and it was super clean and comfortable. We loved sitting on the rooftop balcony with our coffee in the mornings. I recommend this VRBO to anyone looking to stay in Colorado Springs.

Location and Amenities!
This duplex has such an awesome location. It’s 10 minutes give or take to the Cog Railway Depot, Cave of the Winds, Manitou Cliff Dwellings, Garden of the Gods, downtown Manitou, and Old Colorado City. The home is very young child friendly with a garage to park in, bathtubs in both bathrooms, and a park just down the street. The kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked, and the hostess even left us a welcome note and a tasty treat. The beds were heavenly! We had such a wonderful stay!

Perfect long weekend
Our family of four spent 3 nights at the property. It was beautiful and very clean. We loved the roof deck and convenience to local attractions. Debbie was an excellent host and even left a home baked treat for us on our arrival. If ever back in the area we would stay here again.

Amazing base for vacation
This is one of those places you either want to share with everyone or keep alllll to yourself. :) Counting Stars was SO great for us - family of 4 - parents and a 19 and 23 year old. Communication with Debbie, the host, was excellent. Check in/out super easy. Off-street and garage parking. A fantastic roof top deck and 2 chairs out front offer perfect outdoor space. A delish skillet cookie upon arrival - delightful and unexpected. Fully stocked kitchen from plastic bags to spices to condiments and cooking oil and coffee or tea. We enjoyed 4 nights and loved it all. This home is close to a beautiful city park and a nature center. Access to hiking, biking, restaurants, shops - easy, easy. It's a lovely place with thoughtful touches and a warm and inviting decor. You will love it!

Look No Further - This is the One!
Consensus among our group of travelers is that this is the best VRBO we have ever stayed in, not only based on its location by many trailheads, as well as the cute downtown, but also, and more importantly, based on the attention to detail this property manager paid - so much attention to detail! She went above and beyond to provide anything and everything a traveler could need in her very comfortable and well-stocked (and cute as can be) abode. She also communicated the necessary information in a friendly and quick manner. I cannot recommend Counting Stars enough.

Fantastic! The place was excellent but the extra kindness with spare toiletries, a baked cookie pie upon arrival, and consistent communication anytime needed throughout our stay was really exceptional.

Best Host/Awesome Place
Debbie is one of the best hosts I’ve had and I have used Vrbo many,many times. There wasn’t anything that we needed that she did not have. The rooftop one of the best things about this place. The evenings and mornings up on the roof top with the friends we traveled with was a highlight of the trip. It is un a great location, central to the top spots.

Debbie was great and very easy to communicate with! She even went out of her way to leave us a special treat for the kids and told us fun activities that the kids would love. The property was very clean and well stocked for even little items we forgot to bring. We had the best week and it was largely due to Debbie making our stay so enjoyable.
