Our stay in this house was so great. The house is so well situated close to the Academy and any other amenity in the Springs, but tucked away in a quiet peaceful cul-de-sac. The quiet deck was one of our favorite spots to enjoy the beautiful views and watch all the small critters that liked to come visit. The house was spacious and well stocked. The hosts were so wonderful! Very responsive and helpful. They went above and beyond, being willing to receive a wheelchair delivery for us before we arrived, and reaching out to us to offer us use of jackets in the house when they saw the weather was going to be wet for one of our events! I would absolutely stay here again—I highly recommend this house!

Perfect Venue For Our Family Gathering

We throughly enjoyed staying here with our adult sons and their families while attending our 50th Wedding Anniversary Celebration with other extended family members at a local restaurant. The home was perfect for providing community in the family area while giving those who were still sleeping the quiet they needed to get their rest.

Absolutely wonderful stay

My sister and family live about five miles from this property so the location was ideal for a weekend that included a military retirement ceremony and high school graduation. As if the location were not ideal enough, the home is beautifully furnished, scenery and setting are idyllic and peaceful, and everything about it is comfort, comfort, comfort! The hosts were beyond gracious and welcoming, and as long as this home is available, my family and I do not intend to search for any alternate locations on future visits. Definitely five stars!

Great place; great location!

The location of this property was excellent and just as described. We enjoyed watching the planes and parachutes from the USAFA every morning. Experienced great communication with the owner. Our grandchildren loved playing in the backyard and we appreciated the baby gate. Might not hurt to add one on the upper deck as the first step is a bit trickier for toddlers. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this property!

Clean Home

We had an amazing stay at this location. Chek-in and check-out were very easy. If we had any problems, I would contact the owner and he replied instantly. Beautiful, clean home with space for all 9 adults and 3 kids. When it rained, we just played games inside. The only downside to this place is the fact that the backyard is not "toddler-friendly" because of the different levels of back-yard. We would definitely stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Steve Flannery

Host profile image
We have raised our family in this home and are teachers in the local school district. We love sharing our home with people traveling to visit our beautiful city in the summer! We love to travel too.

Why they chose this property

We chose to live in this neighborhood for the views, the friendly neighbors and the wooded privacy the landscape provides. It has been home to us for 10 years and we wouldn't dream of living anywhere else.

What makes this property unique

The pie shaped lot provides a large and private back yard that we enjoy everyday in all kinds of weather. The views of pikes peak and the Air Force planes as well as wildlife give us much to enjoy from windows and the back decks.
