Falcons Overlook Retreat

Welcome to Falcons Overlook Retreat -- the most stunning woodland oasis vacation rental in the area! Every detail of this property was designed by award-winning artist, army veteran, interior designer and host, Austin William Davidson, to provide a comfortable, functional, and well-appointed vacation property specifically for guests. From the incredible coffee/tea bar, to the very well-stocked kitchen pots and pans/dishes, to amazing rooms and amenities, this property offers a chic, 5-star, welcoming atmosphere, perfect for hosting guests attending weddings, visiting the Air Force Academy, or families on vacation. Just minutes from I-25/the freeway, this property offers the true Colorado wilderness experience while still being close to stores, wedding venues, gas stations, and shopping areas. Convenient proximity to the USAFA, Colorado Springs, Manitou Springs, the Outlet Shops at Castle Rock, Bass Pro Shops, the Mining Museum and more.

The house features large smart-TVs (guests can stream their own favorite streaming services) in every bedroom and a massive, 70' inch TV in the large living room. Additional features include a gas fireplace, bar/yoga/sun room area, well-appointed kitchen and dining area, laundry room, desk/workspace, coffee/tea bar, game table/room, and stunning forest views from every window. The property's woodland location provides excellent opportunities for wildlife viewing: deer frequent the property on a near-daily basis and occasional sightings of wild turkeys, owls, foxes, eagles, and bobcats are typical for the area. Guests can soak up Colorado's gorgeous mountain and forest views from the spacious Ponderosa Pine filled backyard with patio seating and valley overlook. Bedding throughout the house was selected for guest comfort and features quality mattresses and luxurious 100% cotton sheets. The property has a total of 6 bedroom areas with 2 king and 4 queen beds, 3 showers, a divine soaking tub, and 3.5 bathrooms. The house is equipped with central AC, heating and a gas fireplace. Each room is filled with original custom wall art, storage space, hooks for hanging towels/clothes, Smart TVs, and seating. We also provide generous supplies of shampoo, conditioner, cakes of soap, hand-sanitizer, make-up wipes, and other quality amenities/toiletries. No "starter packs" here!

Wander and Austin William Davidson custom create each property they manage with detail and focus. We understand how stressful travel and staying at some rentals can be; we seek to make the experience the worry-free, comfortable, and inviting experience it should be. We welcome everyone of all genders, ethnicities, abilities, and orientations. Our properties do have higher than average cleaning fees because we provide higher than average cleanliness. We also compensate our cleaners well and inspect the properties before and after each guest. We also understand how annoying excessive cleaning/checkout lists can be for guests, so we have only two requests: Please be nice and treat our properties the way you'd like someone to treat yours; and please leave the kitchen tidied and dishes loaded in the dishwasher before your departure. Wander's focus is quality and attention to detail and we are proud of our many awards and 5-star reviews. Book today and await your stay in woodland splendor!

The property is the home of two USAFA graduates/alumni, as reflected in the property's name (Go Falcons!). The Air Force Academy and Air Force Academy Chapel are both located about 15 minutes away depending on traffic and are both visible from the backyard of the property. The home also sits under the flight path of the USAF Thunderbirds when they practice for USAFA graduations. Additionally, Wander is a veteran-owned-and-operated management company. As such, we happily welcome our military families, veterans, and USAFA alumni!

The property canceled on us. Beginning of August. Never reached out to us. A day before the trip when we already made new plans we hear from them and tell us that we are still good to stay. Almost to the point of harassment. I had to show my VRBO message that showed canceled before they stopped.

This home was lovely. My now husband and I eloped in Monument and to have somewhere where all our family and friends could gather together was unforgettable. We would definitely stay here again and again! 10/10 would recommend 💕

The perfect place for us!
Thank you for this wonderful home that my friends and I were able to gather in. It had everything we needed and the space was cozy and warm. A few of the beds were a bit hard but that was the only thing otherwise it was perfect.

The property was easy to get to; neighborhood is near Highway 25. There is a Walmart close by. It’s an easy 30 minute drive to Colorado Springs and all the attractions nearby, Garden of the Gods, Cave of the Winds, and Pikes Peak. The Cheyenne Mountain Zoo is also close by too. The house was perfect! Loved the decor and house set up. Everything was clean when we arrived. Loved that bath towels were laid out in each room for us. It was nice having access to a washer and dryer. The neighborhood was nice and quiet. Would definitely consider coming back to this property.

Vacation
Overall we had a great experience. Only problems we saw were: Not thoroughly cleaned (used eyelashes and candy on the floor, bugs in the windows) No propane tanks were filled for use outside at the fire pit. Was disappointed that we could not use the grill, but we understood that in advance. Kitchen supplies were great, and we had plenty of towels.
