ROCKY MOUNTAIN LODGE & CABINS

This cabin worked beautifully! for our AF Academy graduation. We had off/on 18 people thru the week. We had space to be together comfortably, and yet space on the grounds to get away from each other for quieter moments.

Everyone loved the pine-mountain setting. As each family entered the lodge, people would exclaim "WOW!" and "how did you find this place?"

Wonderfully stocked kitchen which permitted us to serve a wide range of meals. We had as many as 20 people sit down to eat with us.

Very rustic--the good kind of rustic. Comfortable and have the feel of being away from the hustle/bustle of the congested Colo Springs.

Each bedroom was unique with one special feature (such as a balcony or extra bed).

Great location at the base of Pikes Peak, or within an hour, we could get to historical towns and the Academy. Great, unique places to eat within 10-15 minutes in Manitou Springs.

Owners live nearby and could answer our questions about caring for the lodge, yet far enough away, we didn't feel like we were being spied on.

The lodge was stocked well with towels, blankets, sheets, travel info, reading books, games, and the like. Plenty of parking, too.

For me, booking the Rocky Mountain Lodge for USAFA graduation was the bonus of the week.

The only drawback was our cell phones didn't work well in that location.

We rented the lodge for our family that was coming from all over the US for our daughter's wedding that was held in Colorado Springs. We wanted the immediate family to be together rather than in separate hotel rooms as it was a reunion of sorts as well. Debbie and Brian are very conscientious lodge owners and so welcoming. They had to be evacuated due to the canyon fires that raged just over the ridge behind their home and the lodge. Debbie kept us informed of the progress and we were the first renters back into the lodge after in reopened. It was all we had hoped for. The kitchen has an industrial range, 2 refrigerators, coffee grinder, large 2 carafe coffee maker, and the list goes on and on. Suffice it to say the kitchen was well equipped for our family group ranging in age from 7 months to 70 years. It has a warm Colorado lodge feeling complete with hot tub, corn hole game, gas grill and patio furniture for enjoying meals outside. It is conveniently located to Pikes Peak, Manitou Springs, Colorado Springs, Old Colorado City, the Air Force Academy, and the Broadmoore.

We rented the entire lodge for a family reunion. Clean, spacious, comfortably sleeps 12 (with more on roll outs if needed.) The suite is nice if someone wants a little extra privacy. We cooked our meals in the amazingly well equipped kitchen with commercial stove/oven, 2 refrigerators, large coffee maker and any pan or utensil you could want. Large patio, gas grill and hot tub. Beautiful views out the large front windows and from the patio. If anyone in your party is elderly or disabled the suite and one other bedroom are on the first floor, others are upstairs.
Very convenient to Pike's Peak, Garden of the Gods, Manitou Springs and short drive to Colorado Springs itself.
Debbie and Brian answered all out questions before arrival including keeping us informed when wildfires broke out in the area.
The only thing I would note is a little noise from the roadway but it does not detract from the experience.
Would definitely recommend to friends and I my relatives agree.
