About this property
Colorado Springs Home · Hot Tub · Built for Longer Stays
The Great Plains House is a comfortable, single-level home in a quiet northeast Colorado Springs neighborhood, set up for longer stays — relocations, work assignments, and families in town for the Air Force Academy. The open, split floor plan gives everyone a mix of shared space and privacy, with three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a fully remodeled kitchen that`s ready for cooking at home.
The living area has comfortable seating and a smart TV, and it opens to the dining space and kitchen, so it`s easy to settle in for a while. The primary suite has its own bathroom and a height-adjustable sit-stand desk — a real workspace, not a kitchen-table compromise. Two more bedrooms work well for family, guests, or colleagues. Out back, a fenced yard has a private hot tub, a patio dining area, and room to relax, and the front porch is a calm place for morning coffee. Central air and heat keep things comfortable year-round, with high-speed Wi-Fi throughout and a full-size washer and dryer.
You`re close to what brings most guests to town. The U.S. Air Force Academy is a short drive, and Peterson Space Force Base, the Colorado Springs Airport, and everyday shops and restaurants are all nearby. On weekends, Garden of the Gods, Pikes Peak, and local trails are within easy reach. Powers Boulevard and Woodmen Road make it simple to get around the city, and the airport is about twenty minutes away.
Getting in is simple and contactless. After a quick identity check through our verification partner, Truvi (about two minutes), your door code, directions, Wi-Fi, and exact address appear in your guest portal once your reservation is paid in full, ready for your arrival. That same quick step also activates damage protection of up to $50,000, so an accidental spill or bump during your stay is covered — peace of mind for everyone. The garage opens with a manual button on the wall by the interior door, or you can control it from your phone with the MyQ app — just message us the email you`d like us to add. Check in any time after 4:00 PM, and check out by 10:00 AM.
A few things to know: parking is in the driveway or garage only — no street parking, and no trailers parked outside the garage. The home is pet-free, and quiet hours run from 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM. We`re Josh and Elle, and one of us is always a quick message away. We`d love to host you for your time in Colorado Springs.

About the host
Hosted by Joshua Schifferer
Hi, we’re Josh & Elle—affectionately known as Jelle! We were both born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona, and met while attending Arizona State University. Since then, we’ve built a life together grounded in family, creativity, and community.
Josh works in commercial construction and development, while Elle has brought her design talents to everything from floral design to home flipping and interiors. Today, she focuses on raising our four amazing kids and making every space we share feel warm and welcoming.
We love spending our summers in Colorado, where we can slow down, enjoy the outdoors, and spend time with friends and extended family. When we're not there, we’re thrilled to open up our home to guests like you. It’s our joy to share the thoughtful spaces we’ve created—spaces that reflect our values of comfort, connection, and care.
