Modern Mountain Retreat - Ideal for Family Gatherings - 15 Min from USAFA

Large, private family home in a wooded area of Monument, Colorado, 15 minutes from USAFA, 45 minutes from Colorado Springs airport and 1 hour from Denver airport. Perfect gathering place for families.

Many windows throughout the main floor and basement bring the outside in. Open floor plan and updated kitchen. Can seat 23 for a meal (8 at kitchen table, 8 at dining room table, 7 at the kitchen bar). Kitchen is fully stocked with anything you need, including spices, oils and a variety of appliances. Kitchen has been updated with modern stainless steel appliances, including a gas range and a large refrigerator.

Enjoy the peace and quiet of the outdoors with plenty of sitting on the main level deck (up to 12) with a grill. Or enjoy your morning coffee on our smaller patio that seats 6 with a fire-pit table while listening to the birds or watching the deer walk by.

Home sleeps 8 in beds and can accommodate more with an extra queen size mattress and twin size portable bed placed in any room as requested.

USAFA Graduation
House met every expectation we had, was able to comfortably accommodate 11 adults attending 2019 USAFA graduation. Great location Approx. 15 minutes from North gate in a quite neighborhood. House was extremely clean, Helen was fantastic to work with, highly recommended.

About the host

Hosted by Helen McAllister

Host profile image
We are Texans living in Colorado for 13 years and now splitting time between the two states. We are previous cadet sponsors and love hosting USAFA families. We are empty nesters so we are enjoying the flexibility to travel.

We'd love to share our home with you and help make your visit to Colorado a great one. Just let us know what you need while you are here and we are happy to provide it if we have it available (chairs, umbrellas, coolers, etc.)

Why they chose this property

Great location that provides that Colorado mountain experience but is close to I-25. Only 15 minutes to USAFA entrance, 30 minutes to downtown COS, 40 minutes to COS airport, 30 minutes to south Denver, 65 minutes to Denver airport.

Peace and quiet with lots of wildlife - deer, turkeys, the occasional bear, owls, and more.

Plenty of space for everyone to spread out and feel comfortable. You won't be cramped thanks to large rooms and plenty of seating.
