Broadmoor, CO
Short-Term Rental Management in The Broadmoor, Colorado Springs, CO
The Broadmoor is Colorado Springs at its most refined: estate homes at the foot of Cheyenne Mountain, world-class golf, and the resort, Seven Falls, and the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo minutes away. Guests who come here expect more, and they notice everything. Sun Mountain Stays is the founder-led local operator built to meet that standard: full-service guest care, in-house cleaning and turnovers, dynamic pricing, and honest owner reporting. A well-run Broadmoor home can command strong nightly rates, but only if it is run to the level a discerning guest is paying for. That is the work we do, and we keep our portfolio small so every home gets it.

The premium market
A luxury address is an opportunity and a standard.
The Broadmoor draws a different guest: resort visitors, golf trips, destination weddings, and families who could stay at the hotel but want the space and privacy of an estate home instead. They will pay strong nightly rates, and they should, but they also read reviews closely and write them the same way. A scuffed finish, a slow reply, a turnover that missed a detail: at this tier, those cost you the rate and the ranking. The premium is real, but it is earned nightly. We run to that standard so the home holds its price rather than quietly slipping toward the middle of the market.
- Affluent, destination-minded guests: resort visitors, golf, weddings, and executive travel
- Well-run estate homes can command high nightly rates versus the wider Springs market
- Discerning guests review on detail, so presentation and responsiveness protect the rate
- Minutes from The Broadmoor resort, Seven Falls, the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, and Cheyenne Mountain
STR permits & regulations
Broadmoor short-term rentals: Colorado Springs city rules apply.
The Broadmoor is inside Colorado Springs, so the city short-term rental permit system governs your rental. Here is the summary; always confirm current requirements at the official city portal.
Colorado Springs requires a city-issued Short-Term Rental permit before listing on any platform, administered through the city's Accela portal, with annual fees that have been approximately $124.95 (verify the current fee before applying). The city distinguishes owner-occupied from non-owner-occupied permits, and availability depends on the property's zone: non-owner-occupied permits are restricted in single-family zones and subject to spacing rules between short-term rentals. Much of the Broadmoor area is single-family zoned, so eligibility varies parcel by parcel. Platforms collect and remit lodgers' tax, and the permit number must appear on your listing.
- City Short-Term Rental permit required, applied and renewed through the Accela portal
- Permit fee: approximately $124.95/year (verify current fee at coloradosprings.gov/str)
- Owner-occupied and, in eligible zones, non-owner-occupied permits available
- Non-owner-occupied permits are restricted in single-family zones and subject to spacing rules between rentals
- Much of the Broadmoor is single-family zoned; confirm your parcel's eligibility before buying or listing
- City lodgers' tax applies; major platforms typically collect and remit automatically
- Permit number must be displayed on all listing platforms
This is a general summary based on publicly available information and is not legal advice. Permit requirements, fees, zoning, and spacing rules can change. Always verify current rules at coloradosprings.gov or with a local attorney before listing or buying with STR intent.
Local market
What can a Broadmoor STR actually earn?
The Broadmoor sits at the premium end of the Colorado Springs market: estate homes, resort proximity, golf, Seven Falls, and the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo draw affluent, destination-minded guests willing to pay for quality. Published tools like AirDNA, Rabbu, and AirROI list Colorado Springs and Broadmoor-area benchmarks, but a premium home only earns its premium when it is priced, presented, and run to that level. Revenue varies significantly by property, location, seasonality, and management quality, and a discerning guest will discount a home fast for details that miss. Book a walkthrough and we will pull current data for your specific address before we ever project a number.
Common questions
Broadmoor short-term rentals, answered.
Do I need a permit to rent my Broadmoor home on Airbnb?
Yes. The Broadmoor is inside Colorado Springs, so the city's Short-Term Rental permit rules apply. You apply and renew through the city's Accela portal, the annual fee has been approximately $124.95 (verify the current fee at coloradosprings.gov/str), and the permit number must appear on your listing. We can walk you through the process as part of onboarding.
Can I run a non-owner-occupied STR in the Broadmoor?
It depends on your parcel. Colorado Springs restricts non-owner-occupied permits in single-family zones and applies spacing rules between short-term rentals, and much of the Broadmoor is single-family zoned. Eligibility varies parcel by parcel, so confirm your specific address with the city before buying or listing. We will help you read your situation honestly, but the city portal is the source of truth.
Do you handle cleaning and turnovers in the Broadmoor?
Yes, in-house. At this tier, a missed detail costs you the review and the rate, so we do not outsource cleaning and hope for the best. Our team handles turnovers directly, which means consistent quality control, faster response to issues, and the presentation a premium home needs to hold its price.
I live out of state. Can you manage my Broadmoor property remotely?
Absolutely, most of our owners are hands-off by choice or necessity. We handle everything on-the-ground: guest communications, turnovers, maintenance coordination, and owner reporting. You get transparency through regular updates without needing to be present.
Does the resort and attractions traffic really drive Broadmoor demand?
Yes. The Broadmoor resort, Seven Falls, the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, world-class golf, and destination weddings pull affluent visitors who want the space and privacy of an estate home rather than a hotel room. That guest pays well for quality, which is exactly why running the home to a high standard matters more here than in a value market.
How is Sun Mountain Stays different from a national STR management company?
We are founder-led and intentionally small. Our portfolio is capped so that every property receives real attention, not a call center script. We are local to Colorado Springs, we know the Broadmoor's neighborhoods and the city's permit and zoning rules from the inside, and we run premium homes to the standard their guests expect.
How do I get started?
