It was well-stocked, super clean and the host, Ken, went out of his way to make sure we had what we needed and to answer any questions we had. We will definitely try to stay again next time we are in COS for several days or longer.

About the host

Hosted by Ken Rivera

Host profile image
Host Ken Rivera is a native of Colorado Springs, and his spouse has lived in many locations with the military. We enjoy the outdoors of Colorado in all the ways you could imagine, including building quinze huts for winter camping. We are getting more into golf as we age, ha! We raised two children in Colorado Springs: a businesswoman and her child, a Space Force Major, and a USAF Academy grad.

Why they chose this property

The 80917 Neighborhood is a vibrant area characterized by charming streets lined with trees and colorful buildings. One of the most enjoyable aspects of this neighborhood is its sense of community; locals often gather at parks, coffee shops, and markets, creating a welcoming atmosphere.

The neighborhood offers a delightful mix of cultural experiences, from art galleries showcasing local artists to cozy restaurants serving diverse cuisines. Walking through the area, you can often hear live music while walking to shopping or dining nearby. Our favorite is the organic grocery store five minutes away by car.

Additionally, there are plenty of green spaces where families can picnic, bike, play sports, and let their children run around. The friendly faces of the residents, the rich cultural offerings, and the overall vibrant energy make the 80917 Neighborhood a truly enjoyable place to explore and relax.

Nearby, enjoy the Krispie Creme, Texas Roadhouse, On The Border, Red Robin, Longhorn Steakhouse, Costco, and Safeway.

What makes this property unique

Two features attract many Academy House guests: the garage, which provides a safe entrance and serves as a mudroom and storage for bikes and outdoor "toys." Academy House, often complimented about its cleanliness due to the no-pet policy, offers healthy rest for the weary. While these two features are big draws, there are others.

The neighborhood is tranquil even though leading thoroughfares are close by. Academy House offers a bistro patio, gas and charcoal grills, a backyard for games, security bars and cameras, two bedrooms, each with en-suite bathrooms, queen size pullouts, a full kitchen with cookware and dishes, gas fireplace, washer and dryer, standard-car garage for two cars, off street parking for additional vehicles, short proximity to groceries, dining, military bases/posts. Board games and cornhole (bags) are on hand for a bit of recreation, and we like to provide a meal basket, including a bottle of wine, as our welcome to you.
