Travel
Flights:
For those of you coming from out of town, we'd recommend searching for flights into both Denver and Colorado Springs and see what works better for you. Denver is about an hour and a half away.
Denver-Colorado Springs Shuttle:
If you fly into Denver and you're NOT renting a car for your visit (uber/lyft are available and good options in Colorado Springs) Groome (link below) provides shuttle service from the Denver Airport into the Springs for about $50/per person. (Great option for solo travelers - it can get pricey with multiples.) Their Park & Ride is about 3 minutes from our house as well, so this is a great option.
Airport Transportation:
Please let us know if you need help getting transport to the Springs! We are happy to make the drive for pickups if we can, and we have beautiful friends who are willing to do pickup drives as well!
Discounted Hotel Blocks:
We have a block of discounted hotel rooms reserved at two different hotels in the area; one closer to the church on the outskirts of town (Staybridge Suites), and one closer to the downtown area where you can walk and sightsee Colorado Springs. A link to book the discounted rooms at Staybridge Suites is below, and when our downtown hotel is set, we will link that information below as well!
Need a friend to share room costs with?
Many out of town guests are opting to team up with other guests and split AirBNB's or hotel room costs. If you'd like to do this but don't know who to share with, please let us know and we will try to coordinate a connection for you to talk to other guests (who we think you'd personally get along with) who'd also like to split accommodation costs!
Staybridge Suites - Colorado Springs NE Powers
This hotel is 7 minutes from the St. John the Baptist Orthodox Church. Rooms here have full kitchens, so if you are wanting to save money on food by having your own groceries, this is going to be a great option. They're across the street from a Walmart Supercenter, as well as a gas station. They have a huge, super nice hot breakfast (also saving you money on food!), a full fitness center, pool/jacuzzi, and laundry is free. There are two room options - one is a simple queen studio (still with a kitchen), and the other is larger with two queen beds and is set up with seperate bedroom & living room areas, also with a fold out sofa bed option - this will be great for families with kiddos, or friend groups that want to share room costs.
PLEASE USE THIS LINK BELOW to guarantee you are getting our blocked room rate!!! You can call the hotel and mention Schweizer or Hillerstrom as well, just make sure you're getting our discount becuase this time is peak season.
RV Friends:
For those of you driving your RV's to town - there are several RV parks in the area, and we'd recommending booking your spots early as summer is prime RV season here!
If you're looking for some peaceful nature outside of the city, Falcon Meadow Campground (link below) is less than 10 minutes from the church, and provides a beautiful, sweeping view across the 20,000 acre Banning-Lewis Ranch with Pikes Peak on display above it all. RV sites average about $50/night.
If you'd like to be closer to the hustle & bustle of the city and points of interest in Colorado Springs-proper, Garden of the Gods RV Park (link below) is nestled right between Garden of the Gods and Red Rock Canyon Open Space and very near the Old Colorado City downtown area. Since this will be peak season, you are likely looking at an average of $80-$90/night.
