About the host
Hosted by Kerri Kilgore & Owen Davies
Kerri and Owen are both Retired from the US Air Force and love living in such a diverse area as the Front Range and the Colorado Springs Area. We are thrilled to be able to share our homes with travelers to the area and hope that many will return again and again become friends/family over time.
Why they chose this property
The neighborhood borders the Palmer Lake city park with all the amenities available such as lake, disc golf, pavilion, play ground, foot bridge to ice cream shop, coffee shop, restaurants and live entertainment venues. Beautiful views! Easy access to I-25 and 2 exits north of the US AF Academy and Northgate Blvd.
What makes this property unique
The location of this home is 2nd to none! It backs up to the Palmer Lake park, stairs to the Santa Fe Trail, and amazing mountain views along with the night lights of Colorado Springs to the south. The backyard is truly special and at night light the fire-pit and turn on the party lights and enjoy what Colorado Mountain Living is all about! Walk to several local restaurants and walk home or stroll down to the lake during the summer and rent paddle boards or step onto the disc golf course or pickleball courts. Here for a wedding...we are near 6 wedding venue or pop down to the Air Force Academy which is just 2 exits south on I-25. Feels remote and quiet but groceries, restaurants, wedding venues, tourist areas, hiking, etc., are just minutes away!
