We are located just 7 minutes north of the Air Force Academy and we open the lower level of our home (1,300 square feet) for others to enjoy. When you come into your private entrance, you’ll find 2 bedrooms with comfy queen beds, a living room with sleeper sofa, work-out area (treadmill, weights, and recumbent bike), kitchenette (includes pots and pans, stove plate, microwave, small fridge and dinnerware), a library, dining table, and a full bath. Just outside your entrance is a hot tub, fire pit, and stunning mountain views. Bring your hiking shoes! You are also likely to see deer, fox, and maybe even elk during your stay. We try to keep your space sanitized and clean for you. No pets or smoking on the property. (Although you'll see deer, llamas, horses, cattle, and some Texas longhorns on the drive to our place) Washer and dryer available upon request. Are you a writer? I’m a writing coach—I’ve published books with 5 major Christian publishers. I also offer private writing retreats in our home. If you need a quiet and inspiring place to write, you might want to use the area for a retreat. Talk to me about separate times for me to coach you on your project. Hot tub, exercise equipment, fire pit, grill, large flat screen TV, kitchenette (with all cookware), Wi-Fi, and full lower level of home. You will also have free access of the beautiful back yard area (we reserve the upper deck off our bedroom for ourselves). We live upstairs and will likely be here when you are here. Because we work out of the home, loud groups don't work for us. But a family or guests who keep the music/TV below 100 decibels does! You will have complete privacy and you have a separate entrance. We are happy to give you plenty of information to help make your stay in this beautiful part of the country as enjoyable as possible! We love to give our insider tips to our guests! This is a horse area (5 acre minimum property requirement). It is peaceful and relaxing but just 5 minutes from Interstate 25.
