Location is key when Visiting your Air Force Academy cadet or touring the Olympic museum, Pikes Peak, Garden of the Gods, the Cheyenne Zoo, the Ford Sunset amphitheater or zipping u inp to Denver for a game or concert at Red Rocks. Just 2.6 mi (8-9 minutes) to USAFA North gate!!! Comfort is key too... and you'll have Tempur-pedic mattresses on your king sized beds to make sure you are well rested & ready for your adventures. Trailheads to hiking trails with breathtaking views are just down the block. Downtown COS and visitor attractions are just 15-20 min south, Castle Rock outlet stores are just 25 minutes north and Denver Airport is a reasonable 55 minute drive via 470 during "drive time". You may find something cheaper....but nothing more comfortable.
This well appointed lower level of our home has a roomy over-sized sectional couch which can comfortably sleep TWO MORE tall adults, if needed. (this listing is available with just 2 bedrooms if that works better for you) Every door is 36'' wide so maneuvering thru' the walk-out basement apartment is easy. An oversized walk-in shower and double vanity make getting ready easy-peasy and the kitchenette makes it easy to eat in, or at the private outdoor seating area, if you prefer. Your secluded PRIVATE entrance in this beautiful and safe neighborhood is accessed via a 4 foot wide sidewalk, and parking for 2 cars is to the side in our driveway.
This guest suite is just 1 yr old and is pristine. It has been decorated with your comfort in mind, with 1st class appointments. Some of our obsession with the AF may seem over-the top, but we hope our guests will want to make this their "go-to" when visiting COS again.
Being just across the street from the AFA, you can see it and enjoy the flyovers. And the brilliant sunsets and views of Pikes Peak are something to behold!
WHAT IS THERE TO DO WHEN YOU GET TO THE SPRINGS ?
Trails with stunning views of Pikes Peak and the Front Range are just a 3 minute walk down our cul de sac street. Other hiking and mountain biking trails are close & easily accessible, as well. Most tourist attractions are just 15-20 minutes down the road in The Springs: US Olympic and Paralympic Museum, the Training Center, Manitou Springs & Old Colorado City, Pikes Peak Cog Railway & Scenic Highway, Manitou Cliff Dwellings, The Incline, Broadmoor Resort Garden of the Gods, Cheyenne Mountain Zoo (the highest elevation zoo in N. America) and some really terrific dining, downtown. (We are "foodies" so we can recommend the best of Colorado Springs' dining opportunities). White Water Rafting and 4 wheelin' / snow mobile adventures are available with outfitters in the area. We are also just a little over 2 hours to Breck and some of the finest skiing in the world with access to multiple ski resorts just over the Front Range.
