Ideal for Family Reunions, small Corporate Retreats, or Quality time with your Cadet!

Spend time with your cadet, classmates, colleagues, or extended family relaxing together in a large, comfortable home instead of cramped hotel rooms. 2000+ sq ft single-level walk-out with cozy kitchen, breakfast bar & dining area, home theater, family area, fireplace, and Pike’s Peak / USAFA views. Local Permit #0823.

PLEASE NOTE: specific bedding and furniture configurations are subject to change to ensure an optimal layout for us and AUTHORIZED guests -- dishonesty regarding guest numbers is not only likely to cause guest disappointment upon arrival to find excess rooms/beds closed off/removed, but also grounds for immediate eviction and loss of deposit.

We only accept a few reservations per year, so PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE DESCRIPTION CAREFULLY BEFORE BOOKING OR INQUIRING. We’re not comfortable hosting guests who are unwilling or unable to follow instructions and respect us, our home, and our household rules, so guests not reading this description are likely to have reservation requests declined.

Over the years we've realized that our home makes a great base for small corporate retreats, multi-generational gatherings, or families during key USAFA events: available for Parents’ Weekend, Home Football Games, Graduation, and holidays — we’re an Air Force/USAFA family proud to serve with you and your cadet! In Northgate Highlands neighborhood, one mile from the USAFA North Gate close to the cadet area with sauna, picnic table, and large deck overlooking Falcon stadium (perfect for infants or elderly family members who prefer to watch flyovers from the comfort of the large deck).

On a cul-de-sac, close to running and biking trails. Sleeps 8 comfortably or up to 18 using bunks, futons, and living room area (groups over 10 must qualify for R-1 family/long-term lease to comply with new local ordinance, with increased damage deposit to ensure compliance with all household, HOA, and local rules).

Regrettably, recent restrictions on short-term rentals prevent us from continuing to offer free stays for charitable organizations and other worthy causes as we've happily done in the past, so please don’t ask. We accept only a few reservations each year, meaning we're selective in accepting guest groups, so please don’t waste your time or ours by requesting discounted rates or other exceptions. Note that our "Hideaway" is part of a duplex set-up, in which we or others may be present during part or all of guest stays, during which although both units have separate entrances, outside spaces may be shared. We typically try to make alternate arrangements to allow maximal privacy during guest stays, but can't guarantee it with less than 90 days' notice.
We have no minimum-advance booking requirement. However, since this is not just a business but our home, be aware that additional charges apply to bookings made with less than one month notice, with weekly increases from $500 (under 30 days) to $1000 (under 3 weeks), $1500 (under 2 weeks), and $2000 (under 1 week), because of the disruption to our (and others’) schedules often necessary to make hasty arrangements to accommodate last-minute requests. The moral to the story is: be organized — plan ahead!

Please note that due to hyper-active security settings on this listing (which VRBO advises can’t be altered), we often are unable to access it in order to respond while we’re traveling. Between that and wishing to avoid duplicate bookings, we ask that all inquiries be made through our full-property listing (#757165), which is able to at least transmit auto-responses letting you know if we’re currently unavailable, and for how long. Because of that convenience on our end, we offer a slight discount when making partial-property bookings when the initial inquiry is made via that listing — simply note that your inquiry is for only the "Hideaway," rather than the whole "Happy Inn."

Basic rules: "Leave things as you found them;" No smoking, no drugs, no pets. We ask that guests treat our home with respect and care. Note that our home has been loved and lived in by 5 teenagers and 2 cats and is a HOME, not a showroom or luxury hotel. We hope that helps our guests feel comfortable and at home more than a sterile hotel... but those who require turn-down service, flawless perfection, or specific mattress style/brand/firmness/etc. would be more comfortable at the Broadmoor.
