Monument House | Family Reunions, Retreats, Weddings - Sleeps 24, 40 Acres near Air Force Academy

8 Bedroom House in Monument

Perfect for Family Reunions, Special Events, and Corporate Retreats. Bring the whole gang (up to 24 people) and cook, eat, sleep and play under one roof in this 7800 sq ft Colorado Style Retreat/Family Reunion Home. Perched on the ridge of a 40 acre secluded estate, this mini ranch is conveniently located only 12 minutes from the Air force Academy, 15 minutes from Colorado Springs, 6 minutes from Monument and services, 20 minutes from Castle Rock, and 35 minutes from South Denver. The 360 degree view offers beautiful sunrises, sunsets and miles of ever changing, unobstructed mountain vistas.
The House on Bluebird Ridge accommodates up to 24 people, and offers you the opportunity to host intimate special gatherings such as weddings, rehearsal dinners, corporate retreats, family reunion functions and barbecues for up to 50 people.
You won’t have to leave Bluebird Ridge to enjoy Colorado’s beauty. Although, we highly recommend you do check out all the fun things to see and do nearby; hiking, trail running, mountain biking, fishing, horseback riding, tennis, golf, and swimming. You will also want to pull yourself from the ranch and take in some mountain adventures and touristy stuff; US Air Force Academy, Pikes Peak Cog Railway, Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, Olympic Training Center, Seven Falls, Cave of the Winds, Cripple Creek Casino Town, Manitou and Old Colorado City shopping.
For added fun, treat your kids to a real Colorado Adventure; pack and pitch a tent on the property and spend a magical Colorado night around the campfire before you finish the cool night off with a soak in the hot tub.

Hadas L. Sep 26, 2024 09:56:19 AM
Summary: The house is perfect for a large family get together! As there are bedrooms on 3 different levels of the house it is easier to divide groups up to meet different needs (families with kids on lower level where there are games, 2 rooms on main level for anyone with accessibility issues, plus several rooms upstairs for more quiet and privacy. Wonderful porches for enjoying the outdoor scenery, hot tub for relaxing at the end of the day. Plenty of kitchen equipment for large group meals. There is also a lot of outdoor games for kids, incl. a basketball net, a kiddie playground, and a fire pit for making s’mores.We had a wonderful time!

Summary: We had a wonderful vacation in the Colorado Springs area, with the spacious home being ideal for our large family ranging from ages 12 to 75. Chris and Bob were quick to remedy a few small issues, and were good to work with. The location was great, and we thoroughly enjoyed the Garden of the Gods, ride up the cograil to the top of Pikes Peak, the Olympic museum and the training facilities, the Cave of the Winds, hiking trails in the area, and other attractions.

william S. Jul 24, 2024 08:23:46 AM
Summary: Our stay at this property was for a destination wedding and we had family from several states come together. The house was absolutely wonderful with more space than ever imagined The interaction with the property owners was cordial and requests handled promptly. Was above expectations and we have memories for a lifetime.
Sarah H. Jul 22, 2024 03:53:30 AM
Summary: The house is large enough to allow for small gatherings of family for discussions but also space for all of us to have group dinners. The kitchen had all appliances needed. The views are amazing from all sides of the house. We loved our time there!
Edward V. Jul 2, 2024 10:16:16 PM
Summary: The property was terrific! It was clean and very well-kept. Close to the grocery store and gas. Only about 30 minutes from multiple attractions in Colorado Springs. We had 24 people on site for our first reunion in 8 years, and could not have picked a better place. We were visited at the fence line by some cattle from next door. We also saw several stoats, and a 6-point buck with his antlers still in velvet! There was plenty of room for all of us, we never felt crammed in or cramped. The large gathering areas were perfect if you wanted to play pool/ping-pong, hang out in the kitchen, or spend some time in a slightly quieter space in the great room. There is even a volleyball/badminton court in the yard. The patio areas to cool off in the later afternoons and the view of Pike's Peak were also great! We were there during a heat advisory - very unusual - but the fans/coolers in the upstairs bedrooms helped the bedrooms cool down nicely overnight. We cooked on the property every night. The 2 refrigerators and 2 kitchens plus the 2 large ovens and microwave were very much appreciated. The owners were responsive to any questions before and during our stay. We had people ranging in age from 19 to 66, and all of us had a good time. I recommend the property without reservation.
LaRita J. Jun 19, 2024 11:21:28 PM
Summary: This was our second stay at this property. It is absolutely our favorite. The house is amazing with a beautiful view of Pikes Peak. This is a very spacious home with room for everyone. The lower level game room has pool, ping pong, game tables and a second kitchen. Outside they have horse shoes, tree house and volleyball. The kids and parents spent hours playing. It’s located within easy driving distance to Colorado Springs and Denver. It took us an hour and 15 minutes to Idaho Springs for white water rafting and some famous Beau Jo’s pizza! Home is as described if not better. We plan on booking again. You will not be disappointed.
Janet W. Jun 17, 2024 11:04:02 PM
Summary: The house was perfect for a large family group. The view of the mountains was beautiful! We loved having a big kitchen and lots of table seating. There was even plenty of seating on the deck. The owners were quickly responsive on any questions or issues. The house did warm up in the afternoon and evening but we were pleased with how much it cooled off after sunset.

Summary: We came in for our Son's Graduation from USAFA, and had a wonderful time with the all the activities of this wonderful property. Hosts were great and the whole family enjoyed the tranquility and space of the property!
