Our stay here was perfect. Black Bear Chateau had everything we needed. This is the basement of the host's lovely home and is beautiful, cozy and comfortable. Mary Louise was a wonderful host. We were welcomed with a tray of snacks, bags of treats to give the local critters, notebooks with with information about the place, local attractions and places to eat. We greatly appreciated the extra things that made our stay so pleasant. I highly recommend this place and hope that we can return one day.

A beautiful location!

We loved our stay. There was more than enough room for my family of four, and the kids loved to be able to walk around the property and be one with nature. I don't think we have ever been so close to wild deer as we were during the time we spent there. If we ever come back to Colorado Springs, we would definitely stay here again.

Quiet and beautiful views

Great place and beautiful view especially just looking out the windows and seeing deer and rabbits. The creek was dry(frozen) but great little walk through paths. It’s great that it’s located around many stores and plenty to do in the area.

Perfect Hideaway

This was the perfect property and location for my husband and I during our stay in Colorado Springs. It was the perfect size for the two of us and provided us all the necessities and privacy that we needed while we were there. The best part was the daily visits from the multiple deer that roamed the area. Mary Louise was very accommodating and responsive during the entire process. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you!

Lovely!

My husband and I enjoyed our week stay at the the Chateau. The hostess was friendly and helpful. She made it extra special with the little things like snacks, fresh water, and cute items along the paths, etc. My favorite things about the stay was the back porch, the wildlife, the views, and the neighborhood. I would recommend listing all of the applainces in the description as well as better quality paper towels and toilet paper. Overall, our stay was very good and we would stay hrte again if we come back to CO Springs.

Serenity

Even though this was the basement of their home, we only saw the owners upon arrival as they happen to be in the driveway. It was very quiet. We had a doe and her 3 fawns visit often as well as a buck, rabbits, and squirrels. Check in and out was easy. The accommodations were perfect! I missed having a full kitchen as I like to cook, even on vacation, but the mini cookware they supplied worked out just fine. They left fun little treats for us which was nice. Would definitely stay again!

Beautiful Relaxing CO Springs Stay

Beautiful place at the foot of Cheyenne Mtn. Loved the short trails to various relaxing, tranqul spots. The wildlife was incredible: Birds, Deer, Turkey, lizards, squirrels and even an occasional bear can be spotted. The Chateau was very clean and beautifully decorated, and well supplied for entertainment: games, books, movies and even food for feeding the wildlife (except the bear, of course). The host and hostess were very kind and helpful. This was a good location for all the things to see and do while in CO Springs. The neighborhood was quiet and THE VIEW! Rehabilitated the soul! Will definitely try to stay here again if we are in Colorado Springs,

Beautiful Vacation Home

I had the pleasure of spending the Christmas holidays at Black Bear Chateu in Colorado Springs. The home was beautiful and my host, Mary Louise, had decorated my home with Christmas lights and decorations which made me feel right at home. The property has everything you could ask for including bedroom, kitchen, televisions in the living room and bedroom and deer and turkeys that visited every morning. There are also many games and books plus a foosball table to keep the youngsters entertained. This is the premier location in Colorado Springs as it was in the mountains but only 10 minutes from the Broadmoor Resort and the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo and 15 minutes from North Cheyenne Canyon and Garden of the Gods. Our daughters and grandchildren live in Colorado Springs, and I hope to stay at this home whenever I go out to visit. Many thanks to Mary Louise for brightening my holidays and making the trip perfect..

Wonderful stay! Gorgeous view!

Me and my FiancĂ© enjoyed our stay. Mary was an amazing host. She was quick to answer any questions we had. We felt very welcome. At first we were apprehensive about renting a shared property as we wanted our privacy. That wasn’t an issue. We were never bothered and never heard hardly any sounds from above.The space was very comfortable for several people. Comfortably fit a family of 4 to 6. Location was ideal for Colorado Springs area. Very easy commute to and from the Colorado Springs airport. As well as easy to get to pikes peak and garden of the gods. Absolutely gorgeous view from the home. Right at the foot of the mountain. Definitely recommend to any who want an affordable alternative to a resort or hotel. Highly recommend. Definitely would come back to this property.

Spacious Retreat!

Our family of four thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Black Bear Chateau! There was wildlife out the back door every morning and evening. Our little girls (5&7) wanted to walk around the trails in the back yard every chance they could get. The neighborhood is safe and quiet while still being conveniently located to some of Colorado Springs best attractions. Make sure to read the description of the listing to ensure it fits your family’s needs. My wife and I had never stayed in a VRBO connected to someone’s home but this was not at all an issue. The rental is the whole bottom floor. It’s very quiet and private. The host family is extra respectful of guests. They do a great job of running the vacation rental and you can tell they have put in the effort to make the place unique and special. There are lots of toys and games for kids of all ages included. Don’t worry if your kiddos leave theirs back at home. For the value this place is really hard to beat! The next time we schedule a trip to the area this will be the first place we check for availability👍
