General overview
We have spent years designing and building our family's mountain dream home to be a relaxing sanctuary overlooking Pikes Peak. Since we travel often, we think of this as our home base.
Our calendar availability reflects when we will be gone "for sure" from our home (typically more long-distance trips for us that we've planned ahead and bought plane tickets for.) We do have some flexibility possible with other dates, so please feel free to ask! (We LOVE to travel - so if there is any way to make it work, we will!)
The space
Our home is located on a couple of acres (just like the 6 neighboring houses) on a small dead-end street. Our property borders the national forest, so if you want to hike - this is the place! You can walk out the back door and be in Pike National Forest within 60 seconds!
We have a large deck and patio for relaxing, both with phenomenal Pikes Peak views. In the summer, you can sit and watch the hummingbirds who visit our feeders all day long. Deer can be spotted almost daily, year-round. We also have a hot tub on the deck for relaxing.
Inside, there is a cozy gas fireplace on the main floor in the main living area and another one in the main bedroom. Gourmet kitchen for the chef. Washer and dryer on the main floor and another one downstairs.
Guest access
We designed our home to be main floor living (kitchen, main bedroom, bathroom, and laundry all on the main floor.) With garage access (which can be arranged) the main floor is zero entry (no steps.) The main shower is zero entry/wheelchair accessible.
We also have a walk-out basement with lots of natural light that has 3 additional bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a bar, a pool table, and a home theater, but you could easily remain on the main floor and have everything you need.

Neighbourhood
Our neighborhood is a small private road with only a handful of friendly neighbors living in their mountain dreams homes. With easy highway access, it's a quick 20-minute drive to downtown Colorado Springs and tourist attractions. It's also a 5-minute drive to our cute mountain town with shops and restaurants.
Getting to my home
Denver International Airport is about a 1.5 hour drive from our home. Colorado Springs Airport is 30 minutes from our house. Flying into either airport, you'll want to rent a car.
Nearest airport
DIA = 1.5 hours
COS - 30 minutes
Getting around
We have one convenience store within walking distance. There is no public transportation near our house or in our town. You need a car. Wal-Mart is a 3-minute drive. Our house is on the outskirts of our town, but it's only 5-6 minutes driving to Safeway, City Market, restaurants, local movie theater, frozen yogurt shop, parks, and the dinosaur museum.

We are a travel loving family with 2 teens. We love our home base in the mountains of Colorado, but we also love exploring the world. We both work remotely and we homeschool, so we have lots of flexibility to enjoy new places while doing real-life.

Dates flexible
