We’ve stayed at this rustic Old North End cottage many times and have thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of it. There might be a better cottage out there somewhere—but we seriously doubt it. Laszlo, thanks again for everything!

Visited on August 17-21/2025 Excellent stay. Host is wonderful, and he has an eye for art as evidenced by the decor of the cottage. Everyday, I noticed something about the artwork or nic nacs that I didn't notice before. Such a neat place and close to all the main activties in Colorado Springs. Wife and I will surely stay there again.

Great place for a family close to everything

Our family (3 adults, two kids ages 9 and 5) stayed at the cottage and used it as home base for a trip to Garden of the Gods, as well as an afternoon of relaxing after several days of travel around New Mexico and Colorado, and it was the perfect spot. The kids loved the games, and we made use of the bikes to go to a nearby cafe and grab a bottle of wine. We loved the back patio and the pond with the fish, the beds were really comfy, and the living room was perfect for lounging and playing games. Perfect spot if you’re looking for a great place to stay that’s close to everything!

We had such a wonderful time staying in this lovely cottage! It felt secluded and just the retreat we needed. It had all the amenities of home that I needed! I hadn’t planned on doing laundry since we were only going to be gone about 4 days, but sometimes plans change when children are involved! It was so nice to be able to do a quick load and not have to search out a laundromat! We will definitely be coming back.

The property was located so that we had easy access to the primary routes to visit our great granddaughter for her second birthday and my wife’s unnamed birthday. Laszlo, the property owner made access and our accommodations very easy. Thank you, Laszlo.

We enjoyed staying in the cottage. The location close to our favorite spots (Garden of the Gods, Manitou Springs, Cave of the Winds, etc) was perfect. Having the Safeway very near was super helpful. We would love to stay again if we have the opportunity.

Perfect spot in Colorado Springs

We loved our short stay and hope to return next time we’re in Colorado Springs! The cottage was absolutely beautiful and well-furnished. The fenced-in patio area was perfect for relaxing - my kids loved watching the fish in the lovely pond. I can’t recommend this cottage highly enough!

Graduation stay

This is the 3rd or 4th time I've stayed here over for years. The cottage is fabulous with full kitchen and living room. The lovely back patio with the koi pond is beautiful and peaceful. One bedroom downstairs with 3 beds in an upstairs room. It's close to I-25 for easy access. Nice quiet neighborhood. I highly recommend!

CO Springs - Spring Break

Communication with Lazlo was wonderful. He also provided clear directions on where to park, how to find the house and how to find things within the house as well. Very comfy home, bed and space upstairs for our teenager to have to himself. The house is also in a quiet, lovely neighborhood near Colorado College, grocery store and easy to get to and from downtown, Garden of the Gods and other fun hiking spots. If we go back to CO Springs I would definitely stay there again.

Home outwest

Beautiful little cottage with lots of old west feel all around nestled in the Old North part of Colorado Springs. The garden is a quiet place to read and have morning and evening tea. The fish pond offers a point of relaxation. It’s very close to many restaurants and the square. I recommend Poor Richard’s Book Store for that special gift. I loved our time at the cottage!
