About this property

2 KING Tmprpedc Beds 2.6mi to USAFA @ Northgate Gleneagle /36" drs/PRIVATE Entry

Location is key when Visiting your Air Force Academy cadet or the Olympic Museum, Training Center, Pikes Peak, Garden of the Gods, WWII Museum of Aviation, the Cheyenne Zoo or zipping up to Denver for a game or concert...or taking in Sunset Amphitheater's Musical Guests. Just 2.6 mi (8-9 minutes) to USAFA North gate!!! Comfort is key, too.... and you'll have King Sized Tempur-pedic beds to make sure you are well rested & ready for your adventure. Trailheads with breathtaking views are just a 3 minute walk down our cul de sac street. Downtown COS and visitor attractions are just 15-20 min south, Castle Rock outlet stores are just 25 minutes north and Denver airport is an easy 55 minute commute. You may find something cheaper... but certainly nothing more comfortable.
This well appointed lower level of our home also has a THIRD KING BEDROOM AVAILABLE (just let us know if you need to reserve it, too) and the roomy over-sized sectional couch can comfortably sleep 2 more tall adults, if needed. 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 convenient 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, parking is to the side in our private driveway.
This guest suite has just been built out and is pristine. It has been decorated with your comfort in mind, with 1st class appointments and a nod to our USAF. Some of it 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 USAF Academy, you can see it and enjoy the flyovers, and Pikes Peak is something to behold!
*** This property was originally built and lived in, by a pilot in the Luftwaffe!!!! Walter Boehner left behind some memorabilia that led us to research his history, and we found a display about him and his journey from Germany, through France & the UK to become a pilot in the USAF, and an honored flight instructor at the USAFA. He wrote a book about it... "In Defiance". Check it out!* **

WHAT IS THERE TO DO WHEN YOU GET TO THE SPRINGS ?
Hiking Trails with stunning views of Pikes Peak and the Front Range are just a 3 minute walk down our street. Other hiking and mountain biking trails are easily accessible, as well.
Most tourist attractions are just 15-20 minutes down the road:
US Olympic and Paralympic Museum, the Olympic Training Center, Manitou Springs & Old Colorado City, Pikes Peak Cog Railway & Scenic Highway, Manitou Cliff Dwellings, The Incline, Broadmoor, Garden of the Gods tours, Cheyenne Mountain Zoo (with STUNNING views as it is the highest elevation zoo in N. America), the National WWII Aviation Museum 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, Vail and some of the best skiing in the world with access to multiple ski resorts just over the Front Range. AND with the brand new SUNSET /Ford AMPITHEATER only 2.9 miles away, LIVE CONCERTS with major acts will be available to our guests.

PLEASE NOTE:
*No smoking or vaping is allowed inside. There are 2 outdoor seating areas for your use.
*If you are looking for a college party experience, please look elsewhere. Thank you for understanding.
*There are NO shared spaces, but your hosts live upstairs, should you need anything.
HIGHLIGHTS:

Great Location: We are, literally, just across 25 from the Air Force Academy, 2.6 mi from the North Gate and the new Welcome Ctr. Falcons Rest is in a Beautiful Colorado Springs home with panoramic views of Pikes Peak and the Rockies, Monument, the AFA & the STAR (seasonally) in Palmer Lake!

Our experience was top notch. The host went above and beyond to accommodate a surgical recovery for our USAFA cadet. The communication and attentiveness was truly comforting and appreciated. The space has everything you need right down to multiple type plug chargers on the end tables, motion lights for the hall way at for a place with which you're unfamiliar. A massive couch for a family to relax and watch a movie together. The beds and pillows are super comfortable, the place is spotless and you're near anything you could need for food, coffee, or groceries, or entertainment in the springs, while being in a nice quiet neighborhood.We will be staying again for our many trips to Colorado Springs

Perfect place when visiting the Academy

We came for a long weekend to visit our cadet at the USAFA. The hosts were incredibly helpful with suggestions and any assistance we needed. The property was clean, quiet, well-stocked, and just a short drive to all things Colorado Springs. Highly recommend; we will be back

Air Force-Navy Football

My fiend and I came to Colorado Springs to see the area sites and attend the Air Force-Navy football game. The hosts Pegan and Al were great with the communication and great tips about what to see around the Springs area. The unit was clean, modern and well decorated and the amenities and suggestions were perfect. I highly recommend Falcon’s Rest to everyone wanting to see the area!

Host profile image
Having stayed at many a VRBO, we jumped at the opportunity to become 1st class hosts in our new hometown. Coming from the always humid Nashville area to this amazingly "NON humid" mountain town was a dream come true. Being so close to trails and amazing attractions like Pikes Peak makes everyday a "take my breath away" experience. We are very excited to provide a comfortable retreat for you to explore our fair city....or to visit your cadet. Just let us know if there is anything we can do to make your stay better. Pegan & Al

Why they chose this property

Every day we wake up and look to Pikes Peak to see if there is any new snow on his head. ;-D Feeling safe and comfortable when we walk our 4 legged "child" along the community trails is one of the best things about being in Gleneagle. Our neighbors being "wavers" and really friendly is the BEST thing about living here because we feel SAFE here. Add in that View... and, what more can you ask for? Flyovers, you say? YES... we enjoy the frequent sightings of F16s & F18s or the occasional C5 and of course, seeing the cadets training flights. We even get to watch the cadets sky dive, every so often. Graduation is extra special because we have the perfect perch for watching the Thunderbirds practice for the 3 days before graduation....in addition to the graduation show. WOWZA!

What makes this property unique

Falcons Rest was an unfinished basement in April. The journey to create a Guest Suite has been so fun. From watching the contractors skillfully build out the space to the fun we had curating the things to make this an inviting and comfortable place to share with our family and friends has been thrilling. From the beginning, we wanted to celebrate the AFA and the families who entrust their cadets to it. We wanted to be known as the VRBO with all king sized Tempur-pedic beds.... the most comfortable digs around. We hope that you will find it comfy and welcoming and that we will be your "home away from home" when you need to come back to COS.
