Located at the foothills of Cheyenne Mountain, Colorado, you are surrounded by all of the vibrance that fall has to offer... fiery yellow, roasted auburn, savory goldenrod... a visual smorgasbord of color. In addition to the changes of the fall season, you are enveloped by evergreen pine trees, gorgeous blue skies and a view overlooking Colorado Springs that can't be beat. If you love privacy & nature as much as you love sightseeing & adventure, then this is the place for you!!
In the gorgeous Broadmoor Hills area of Cheyenne Mountain, you are likely to see deer, turkey, birds, squirrel and an occasional bobcat. Stone pathways lead to the viewing area (overlooking the city), the picnic table and hammock (for lunch in the great outdoors) or the natural canopy park bench (breathe deep as the sun goes down). Step directly outside your door to enjoy a large, private deck, complete with fall décor, outdoor seating and twinkle lights; the prefect place to relax with a warm cup of spiced cider as the deer stroll by.
Bleak Bear Chateau is the LOWER LEVEL of a 5,500 sq. ft., 3 story home and is located in the desirable Broadmoor area. The Chateau is decorated to reflect the wonderful fall season with warm colors and cozy throw blankets. This luxury neighborhood boast beautiful homes, gorgeous landscapes and wildlife in abundance. The neighborhood is quiet, safe and secure, with the upper 2 levels of the home being occupied by your host family "neighbors". A locked door and 3 sound barriors divide the space to ensure privacy and security during your stay. Your own private entry ensures that you come and go as you please without interaction from you host family. Your space is your space, but should you need anything, the host is a mere text message away. Otherwise, you are unlikely to see them in this quiet, private setting.
Jump in your car and you are minutes away from historic downtown Colorado Springs (gorgeous this time of year and the fall vibes are EVERYWHERE)- visit Cheyenne Mtn. Zoo, Garden of the Gods, the world famous Broadmoor Hotel, Pikes Peak, Penrose Heritage Museum, US Olympic Hall of Fame and much, much more. Hungry...? Thirsty...?

You will find many unique specialty shops in Old Colorado City, Manitou Springs, Downtown COlorado Springs or at the Shops at Briargate.
Need a little more outdoor adventure? Fall is the perfect time to plan a hike at Red Rocks Canyon Park, cycle down Pike Peak Hwy or book a zipline tour at Adventures Out West Sport Park. Whatever you are in the mood for, you will find it in Colorado Springs. When the day's adventure is over, return to your comfy, cozy, fall themed hideaway and rest up for the next day's adventure. Colorado Springs and Fall await!!
SOME THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE YOU BOOK:
*Guests need to be able to safely ascend and descend 2 flights of steps in order to access the chateau entrance
*The altitude of Colorado Springs is 6,035’ above sea level. Once you arrive, take your time on the stairs, as it may take a little time to acclimate to the higher altitude.
*Keep your eye on the weather app. As in many states, summer hail storms are known to occur. In the winter months, we recommend all wheel drive vehicles.
*Black Bear Chateau is located on the "locked off" lower level of a 5500 sq ft home with the upper 2 levels of the home being occupied by your host family. BLACK BEAR CHATEAU HAS ITS OWN PRIVATE ENTRANCE AND YOU ARE COMPLETELY SEPARATE FROM THE HOST FAMILY
