About the host

Hosted by Chad and Lea

Host profile image
Hello! We’re Chad and Lea, experienced hosts who take pride in providing a clean, comfortable, and well-maintained home. We strive to make each stay smooth and stress-free, with clear communication and support whenever needed.

Thank you for considering our home—we look forward to hosting you!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with Monument for its mountain setting, small-town charm, and easy access to the outdoors. We love being able to walk into downtown Monument for a great meal at a locally owned restaurant, browse the shops, or enjoy live music and summer concerts.

Monument Lake, Pike National Forest, and miles of trails are also close by, so there’s always something to do outdoors. My dad served in the U.S. Marine Corps, so we also have a special appreciation for military families and especially enjoy hosting families visiting the nearby U.S. Air Force Academy.

We’re happy to share a place we love with guests and hope they enjoy everything Monument and the surrounding area have to offer!

What makes this property unique

What sets this property apart is the balance of comfort, space, and location. The home features a thoughtfully designed layout with a spacious great room, a cozy finished basement, and a convenient main-floor primary suite, making it well suited for a variety of stays.

The location is a standout feature. Just minutes from Monument Lake and Pike National Forest, the home offers easy access to outdoor recreation, dining, shops, and local parks, while still feeling tucked into a well-established neighborhood. Its proximity to the Air Force Academy and major routes makes it a practical and appealing home base for exploring the area.

Whether you’re visiting for a short trip or staying a bit longer, this home provides a comfortable place to relax, recharge, and enjoy everything Monument and the surrounding region have to offer.
