Experience the ultimate retreat at The Fly-By, with private outdoor patio and fire pit overlooking a serene mountain lake. Unwind in the spacious common area featuring a gas fireplace, Smart TVs, and pool table.
Enjoy 2020-constructed whole-lower-walkout suite for privacy, ample space, and incredible views. Includes IN-GARAGE PARKING! Near the Air Force Academy and Colorado Springs sites. This listing reserves the whole lower floor for a completely private stay; main level is owner occupied, but access is completely separated. Relax on private outdoor patio by a fire, watching the sunset over views of a beautiful mountain lake and the Front Range. Please see guidebook for much more!
Guests enjoy the full walkout lower level with a private entrance and parking. The ceilings are over 9 feet and there are oversized windows throughout—it does not feel like a ‘basement’! The entire space includes 2 bedrooms with locks, 2 full bathrooms and a spacious common area with gas fireplace, Smart TVs (Wifi included—watch via our Netflix account, or log into your own viewing App), and a pool table, plus a large furnished outdoor space with a bbq grill, ample seating around a propane fire-pit, and--best of all-- incredible scenic views of a mountain lake and the Rocky Mountains.
Please check out the Explore tab on our site at fly-by dot net.
We've named the suite "The Fly-By" because our property is situated along the path that military jets take as they fly low-altitude across the US Air Force Academy. Several times per week we enjoy the "sound of freedom" crossing over us with up-close views of our nation's phenomenal air-power. We love it, and hope you do to! Follow “USAFA Flyovers” Tweets to know when to step outside to see these amazing aircraft at close range!
Our space is not 420 friendly and does not allow smoking (cigarettes or marijuana) at any time.
Guest access: With this listing, you will have full private access to the entire walk-out basement level.
Other things to note: One bedroom has a queen bed, the 2nd bedroom can have either a King or two twins, PLUS a twin-bunk bed. Sleep an additional person on sectional couch (NOT a pullout sleeper). The suite has a complete kitchen (fridge, stove/oven, microwave, and dishwasher). We provide the basic cookware for cooking and dining. The suite also has its own washing machine and dryer. One stall of the attached garage is available to guests--an especially good treat to yourself during winter bookings and gives valuable piece-of-mind during frequent Front Range summer hail storms.
Available in suite: infant high chair and infant 'pack-n-play'; iron and ironing board; and cooking spices you need for that special meal you want to cook.
You get the entire lower level of this custom home. One stall of the attached garage is yours to use during your stay.
We live on the upper level of the home, so we can quickly respond to any needs/issues that arrive. Otherwise, we tend to leave guests alone to enjoy their stay as a private retreat. Parking and entrances to the suite are completely separate from those of the upper level, so you can come and go as you please!
The property overlooks the beautiful lake of the "Forest Lakes" subdivision. Unfortunately, we are not part of the Forest Lakes HOA, so we cannot offer access to the lake (the scenery is free, though!).
The location is rural, so a vehicle is necessary. The neighborhood roads are gravel. Parking is ample and right next to the house.
The property is on a gravel road, and the new driveway can be slippery when wet or snowy, so please drive carefully.
The property has two driveways. Fly-by guests should enter the East drive (farther from mountains). Go around the house to the left to the walk-out basement level. Park in front of the basement's left overhead garage door on the concrete pad. Enter the suite through the left garage door (keypad is to the right of the door), or walk down the sidewalk to the entrance door under the patio.

Wonderful place to stay! Beautiful views, great location, and lots of activities to do on-site (we loved the pool table, hot tub, mini golf, sports court, darts, and more). The host was very communicative and the space was perfect for our family of 5. Highly recommend!
House was plenty big enough for us, a lot of things to do with the kids, hot tub was great playing pickle ball was amazing! Not to far from town both ways. Owners are friendly and great
My family really enjoyed The Fly By. It was really clean with many amenities, including a walking / hiking trail nearby. And the communication with the owner was great. Highly recommend staying here if you have a family and are looking for a great place to stay.
We were so impressed with this property. It has beautiful views of a small lake and mountain range in the background. The view of the city lights below at night was also a favorite. There is tons for every one in the family to do here. Every detail is well thought out and makes for a great stay. The property owners are on site in the main home but we only saw them once and they were very gracious hosts.
Property was in a beautiful location equipped with everything! Countless memories made playing games and enjoying friends. Would recommend to anyone/everyone! Fun for all!
Apparently from the unfortunate leak, we all really enjoyed our stay at the Fly-By Suite. The space is so well thought out and it seems like the owners really thought of everything.
We had a wonderful time. The views were spectacular. The place was full of so many fun activities and games. The house was loaded with so many little extra great things, like wine and chocolates, wonderful shampoo and conditioner in the shower, and the sheets felt amazing! We plan to be back next time we are in town.
This is a very nice property. There are plenty of things to do at the property and it is very convenient to many attractions. The owners were very nice and mindful of our privacy. You are in someone’s basement so there is noise transfer from above but not too bad.
This property is absolutely amazing A+++.
Everything you could possibly imagine for entertainment. Beautiful views and Jadon and Emily are super hosts. I will definitely recommend and will be booking here again!!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful place Jason and Emily!

Our family really enjoyed all of the activities available at the property; it provided the opportunity for some quality family time without leaving the house. The property is in very good condition, updated, and feels new. If you are a light sleeper, you will hear walking and muffled voices from the owners above.
Our stay was wonderful. The owners were very accommodating and helpful when we needed a last minute addition to our number of guests. We arrived late in the evening after a very long roadtrip and were able to check in and get settled in less than 10 minutes. They had all the necessary supplies for coffee, spices, soaps and detergents, etc. to get us started and even had a welcome bottle of wine waiting for us. The activities for kids and adults were awesome. You could spend quite a bit of time on site and not have to leave for entertainment. This is a great rental for any type of getaway. The views are fantastic, the amenities are top notch and the mountain breezes made us happy we escaped the heat of the south to experience this little slice of heaven.
We had an amazing time at the Fly By. It was the perfect weekend getaway. We brought our four grandkids, and they had an absolute blast. The space worked great for our family, and we made some really special memories. We would definitely come back.
The wife and I along with our son and his family really enjoyed our stay! The place was very clean, lots of things for the kids to do as well as a great location! Would absolutely recommend staying here.
Some friends and I stayed here for a weekend. We had a great time. Very clean, pretty views. We played mini golf several times, and enjoyed the hot tub thoroughly.
