Colorado Springs – Traveler’s Retreat Airbnb

Here’s the story, of a quiet house in an older, established, suburban neighborhood in eastern Colorado Springs. The house was built in 1967, with solid bones and a clean, classic, no-frills layout. It’s pretty spacious, with almost 2,000 sq ft of usable space, and a wicked big backyard perfect for relaxing in the evening or a great BBQ with friends and family. This story might have started in 1967, but over the course of the years, this house has clearly been taken care of, and updated. The basement, for instance, is totally finished with a living room/den and another bedroom. One day, some folks put in this really cool retro bar in the basement too. “I only drink to make YOU more interesting!” That’s what the sign says next to the bar. Spot. On.

This house in this quiet neighborhood…over the years some other development grew up around it. A lot of useful stuff, especially for families. There’s a Walmart just a couple of blocks away. And also…the Colorado Springs Airport…it’s like 10 minutes away too. Other things, like movie theaters, restaurants, some great shopping, all sprung up around this house just a few years ago. With easy access to some of the great destinations for travelers to the Colorado Springs area, this house could’ve developed an ego, a complex, a megalomania. But instead, it stayed humble, simple, and perfectly itself.

Located on the east side of Colorado Springs in a mature, established mid 1960’s neighborhood, this home is close to the “Powers Corridor” with exceptional access to the Airport, big box stores like Walmart, and also plenty of newer retail, restaurant and entertainment centers. Tree-lined streets and quiet, comfortable, working-class blocks offer homes with practicality and tried-and-true square mid-century designs. Access to any of the sites and attractions in Colorado Springs such as Garden of the Gods, Pikes Peak, the Broadmoor, Downtown, the Air Force Academy, and more, is great as Powers Blvd was created really to efficiently link these eastern neighborhoods with other parts of the city.
