USAFA Graduation Stay

Overall, our stay was awesome! The location of the home is one of the best features for getting to graduation events without traffic. The home nicely accommodates large families. The beds were comfortable. Although the types of beds didn’t match our adult children, there was plenty of space in the bedrooms to put air mattresses that we purchased. We appreciated the number of towels, extra pillows, and blankets for this reason. The large gathering areas were perfect for relaxing as a family. There is plenty of seating for meals and in the family rooms. The outdoor furniture was comfortable. We had many evenings around the gas fire on the back patio. We were able to grill and cook in a few days and found everything we needed. If you have young children, there is plenty of fun things to keep them busy: swings, rope swing, jungle gym, toys, and games. We enjoyed playing corn hole. There is a fire pit with wood provided if the weather conditions allow. David and Margo were easy to communicate with when we needed questions answered. I would highly recommend this home to create those special family memories.

About the host

Hosted by Dave and Margo

Host profile image
Dave and Margo have traveled the globe and reside locally in Colorado Springs. They have a passion for family, adventure, and hospitality, and are eager to make your vacation memorable and worry-free.

Why they chose this property

The first time we visited this property, the car doors opened and we didn’t see our children for what seemed like hours. They ran to their hearts’ content exploring, and we knew this place was special. Vacationing on 5 acres feels like 400 acres with the park adjacent to the property. Nestled in the trees, you have 100% privacy, yet the location provides quick access to all the local and tourist attractions around the city.

What makes this property unique

Why pay for a vacation to stay in a neighborhood that looks like your own? Finally a home on Colorado Springs VRBO where you are in nature to get away and connect for a truly memorable vacation with family and friends.
