Summary: VRBO Location is wonderful. Just off the freeway yet far enough to be quiet and fell safe. The location is very close to downtown. A very quick drive to hiking locations. The home is lovely and well appointed. There are two separate living areas which make it pleasant for families.

Summary: Love the place, the location and the easy rental process. The only thing I could have used was a coffee bean grinder. I found a great coffee place close - Frankly Coffee. Super coffee and pastries. I'll be back again and again. My daughter goes to UCCS.

Summary: The Tesla house was perfect for us, two adult couples, as each floor has its own bedroom and full bath. Very tastefully decorated and everything we needed was supplied. Location was perfect for exploring the area. We walked downtown most nights and felt very safe. Everything we wanted to do was an easy 20 minute or less drive, and plenty of nearby restaurants to choose from. The property managers were VERY responsive before and during our stay, and even helped us out last minute by securing the house for the entire week instead of us having to take two separate houses for 3-4 days each. Above and beyond! We would definitely recommend and return if in the area again!
