Food Scene

BJ's Velvet Freeze is the BEST hole-in-the-wall in town for soft serve ice cream. Locally owned and operated, it is a local favorite (and a personal family favorite for us). Open seasonally.

This amazing pizza place is a hole-in-the-wall you don't want to pass by. Great atmosphere, great pizza, salad, pasta! We often order it to go and eat on the back patio in the summer!

Do NOT miss a sunset at Patty Jewett's bar and grill. Eating & drinking on the patio, overlooking the golf course & Pikes Peak, is something you MUST do. You can even hit a ball or 2 while there.

Schlotzsky's is close and delicious sandwiches. It is not the quickest option (definitely not "fast food,"), but it's easy, yummy and they have amazing hot sauce! We buy it to take home!

The BEST green chili in town! Get a smothered burrito or a daily special! You will not be disappointed. This hole-in-the-wall restaurant is family-owned, so their hours vary and it's hard to find a seat. Plan to take it to go, and then if you get lucky you'll be able to snag a place in the tiny building, which you will probably share with another family. Line is usually out the door!

This brand new (opened 2014) neighborhood Walmart is great for groceries, deli, and necessities you may have forgotten. It's a hop, skip and a jump from the house.

Hiking, biking, trails and climbing are AMAZING a Palmer Park. It's family-friendly, and has a HUGE play park for the kids. Be sure to stop by a play for a little while if you bring the kids with you! Dog park and ball fiends, with tons of grass to play in. In the summer there are often markets at the park as well.

Everything Else

Great sledding hill in the summer. It's not huge, so better for little ones! We have sleds and some winter hats and gloves at the house for you! In the summer, when school it out, they have great playgrounds to play on as well! FREE FUN that you can walk to with the kids!

The OTC is near the house, and definitely a must-see while in Colorado Springs. The most elite athletes of our country come here to train in state-of-the-art facilities, at high-altitude. Take a tour, or visit the gift shop.
