This space was so cozy and conveniently located. The Black Forest community is so sweet. As a traveling chef, I love to find local gems and there are so many. The Farm Store and Rise N Shine are highly recommended.

Shelley’s place is so cute and thoughtfully layed out so as to maximize the space without feeling crowded. I found it to be very open and relaxing. The design flows very well. The back door leads to a patio of your own with chairs and a grill and a firepit. All is very nice clean. Also the bed was very comfortable. I heard no extra noise at all. The washer and dryer IN the space is a great convenience that many places do not offer. I would stay again in a heartbeat. It is a little further out from the city, but a gorgeous wooded area north of downtown proper. As a former Local I know how desirable this “Black Forest” location is. I also took advantage of the great little café, practically in the front yard. Delicious breakfast and lunch (stuffed French toast Yum). Highly recommended.

Shelly was a fabulous host from beginning to end!! All of the details she shared were specific, accurate, and SO helpful!!! This cozy little studio tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the city was just perfect. The kitchen was just enough to do some basic cooking so we didn't need to eat out all the time, but we LOVED the Mountain View Cafe next door for a couple delicious breakfasts!! Will definitely come back next time we visit our son!

This little “Charming Cabin” is awesome, great location with a great restaurant right out the door. The location is also conveniently located to be close to shopping, attractions and lots of restaurants. Shelly is great with communicating and responds quickly. Highly recommend this place, we are repeat guests and look for Shelly’s place when we travel to CO!

We had a wonderful stay while we visited our newest granddaughter! The Cafe next door had fantastic breakfasts with friendly staff. Santa even paid us a visit. Shelly (host) was super responsive and helpful. Our cabin was well equipped and very clean and updated. We will definitely be back for our next visit.

I really liked Shelly's place. It was exactly what the pictures showed. Shelly made the check-in super easy and the check out instructions were very clear. I loved the little kitchenette and the bathroom was plenty big. The cottage was quiet and comfortable. I'll be back on my next trip through Colorado Springs!
