Our family of 4 (wife, husband, 12 yr-old, 15 yr-old) was very comfortable in this house. We stayed in July with some days reaching the upper 90s, and the 3 window AC units were able to keep the house and bedrooms cool enough the whole time. We're from TX, so we're used to central AC. Loved having a washer/dryer for our week long vacation. Had plenty of privacy. Felt very safe. We frequently walked to the many restaurants in the area and to a local grocery store. Larger supermarkets, drugstores, and local shopping opportunities were a 5-7 minute drive. Downtown was a long walk or a 2 minute drive. Area attractions: Garden of the Gods, Pike's Peak, Manitou Springs (which has a great arcade) were all 10-18 minutes from the house. Lori was very responsive, and everything was easy and accessible and clean and comfortable. The shower is a bit tight, but it does have a wand that can be removed for better reach. It worked fine for us, but I could see how a family with very young bathers, who need a tub, or a larger person may not enjoy that aspect.
