Unforgettable Mansion | 5 Min to USAFA North Gate | Luxury 5BR for Academy Families
THE PREMIER ACADEMY BASECAMP AND EXECUTIVE RETREAT AT GLEN EAGLE
Experience Colorado living at its highest level in a home specifically designed for meaningful connection and large-scale gatherings. Located just four minutes from the North Gate of the U.S. Air Force Academy, The Glen Eagle Retreat is more than a house; it is a 3,400-square-foot sanctuary where families celebrate milestones and corporate teams find clarity. From the private sport court to the gourmet kitchen, every detail has been curated to host groups of up to twelve with effortless style.
THE HEART OF THE HOME: MAIN LEVEL GATHERING SPACES
The moment you enter, your eyes are drawn upward to soaring wood ceilings that create a sense of grandeur and openness. This main level is the functional heart of the property, designed for the togetherness that defines a great vacation. The open-concept living area flows seamlessly into a gourmet chef’s kitchen, featuring massive prep spaces and a layout that allows the cook to remain part of the conversation. Whether you are hosting a pre-graduation brunch or a strategy session over coffee, this space handles large groups without ever feeling crowded. Large windows frame views of the surrounding mature trees and the crisp Colorado sky, bringing the outdoors in.
THE UPPER LEVEL: PRIVATE SUITES AND FAMILY COMFORT
The upper level is dedicated to rest and privacy. The primary suite serves as a true getaway, featuring a king-size bed and a spa-style private bathroom perfect for decompressing after a long day of Academy events or hiking. Also on this level, you will find a versatile second bedroom with a queen bed and a third bedroom equipped with two twin beds and a crib. This layout is ideal for families, ensuring that the heads of the household, visiting relatives, and children all have their own dedicated space while remaining on the same floor.
THE LOWER LEVEL: THE ENTERTAINMENT AND GUEST ZONE
The walk-out lower level offers a change of pace, functioning as both a guest wing and a recreation hub. It houses two additional large bedrooms—one with a king bed and one with a queen—offering total privacy from the upstairs suites. The centerpiece of this level is the rec and media room, which includes a sleeper sofa for extra guests. It is the perfect spot for the younger generation to congregate for movie nights or for a legal team to set up a secondary breakout room away from the main floor activities.
OUTDOOR LIVING: SPORT COURT AND FIRE PIT EVENINGS
The experience at Glen Eagle extends well beyond the interior. Step outside to find one of the most unique residential setups in the Springs. The private onsite sport court is ready for a morning of pickleball or basketball, providing a high-energy outlet for kids and athletes alike. As the sun sets over Pikes Peak, the focus shifts to the outdoor fire pit. There is no better place to gather for storytelling, s’mores, or a glass of wine while enjoying the cool mountain air. The expansive deck and patio areas offer multiple vantage points to take in the quiet, upscale beauty of the Glen Eagle community.
STRATEGIC LOCATION FOR EVERY OCCASION
The location is a logistical dream. You are five minutes from the North Gate of the Academy, seven minutes from the Ford Amphitheater, and less than fifteen minutes from Garden of the Gods. This proximity makes it the ultimate basecamp for Academy families who want to spend their time celebrating, not sitting in traffic.
CUSTOM STAYS AND CORPORATE RETREATS
This property is perfectly suited for corporate off-sites, legal war rooms, and professional retreats that require both common areas for collaboration and private rooms for rest. If you are planning a professional event or a large family gathering with specific requirements, please reach out to us. From coordinating catering recommendations to ensuring your tech needs are met, the iTrip Colorado Springs team is here to make your stay seamless.
Come stay, relax, and make memories at The Glen Eagle Retreat—your Colorado home base for mountain adventures, Academy milestones, and everything in between.

Check-in was very easy.. We loved the house. The kitchen was very functional and the back yard fire pit area was great. The only thing that could have made it better would be central air.
The house was just what we needed for our family of twelve to stay for a week. Everything was just as listed. We even enjoyed wild life right ouside the back door, a family of deer, various birds and even a bear! The views were beautiful.
Perfect place for our family vacation. Plenty of room for everyone to spread out, but also great areas for us all to hang out. Had a small issue with gas being turned off by the gas company (not at all the fault of the property manager), but the property manager got it straightened out in no time with no disruptions for us. Great location and easy access to restaurants, shopping, etc. Plenty of parking. Overall, a great place and would definitely recommend and stay in again.
The house has amazing views, mule deer in the backyard everyday. It is in a great location, convenient to lots of sightseeing and shopping. The home is older and a few things were worn, but very clean and LOTS of space for extended family

Thanks! This home has something for everyone. We enjoy sharing it with respectful guests!
It's just a fun place.
The house was in a perfect location for us to visit our son at USAFA, easy access to the North gate and beautiful views. The backyard fire pit and pool table were the hits of our stay.
We had an absolute perfect stay with our adult family for our daughter’s wedding in nearby Black Rock. We had everything we needed, with the perfect amount of space for relaxing , bonding and even cooking big family meals. Felt like home away from home.
We were in the Springs for a family reunion. Family from all over the country. This house was perfect to fit 11 of us comfortably!! It was a great layout for all of us to hang out and not feel crowded. The backyard is ideal for visiting ❤️
Beautiful home. Family loved playing pool, basketball and sitting by the fire pit for s’mores. Very roomy and well laid out for a family gathering, it was warmer in Colorado Dprings than we expected but we brought fans with us and all was well.

We are glad that you enjoyed the home. We enjoy sharing it with others. Unfortunately, Colorado Springs was experiencing record high temperature during your stay. Colorado weather is unpredictable! All of our bedrooms do have ceiling fans for the added comfort of our guests. It typically cools off nicely in the evenings and is quite pleasant! We hope that you will come back again!
