Driving yourself (rental car or personal vehicle)
Driving is the most flexible option for reaching Cheyenne Mountain Resort and for exploring nearby attractions after arrival. The resort address is 3225 Broadmoor Valley Road, Colorado Springs, Colorado, 80906.
The resort provides valet parking and self-parking; valet is fee-based per the resort information. Guests commonly rent cars at COS or DEN when ground travel flexibility is desired.
- From COS: follow airport exits toward I‑25 S and local roads toward Broadmoor Valley Road; travel time typically under 30 minutes (traffic dependent).
- From DEN: take I‑70 W to I‑25 S (or follow GPS-recommended route); expect around two hours driving time depending on traffic and weather.
- Parking options on arrival: valet parking (surcharge) and self-parking (subject to resort policy).
| Tip | Why it helps |
|---|---|
| Check weather and mountain road conditions | Roads can be affected by mountain weather, especially in winter |
| Use a GPS or mapping app | Routing choices (I‑25 vs alternate roads) change with traffic |
| Consider a rental car at COS for short stays | Faster pick-up and shorter drives than arranging transport from DEN |
Airport shuttles, transfers, and hotel-arranged options
Cheyenne Mountain Resort lists an airport shuttle service as available for guests; it is fee-based and runs between the resort and Colorado Springs Airport per third-party and resort listings. Confirm timings and fares directly with the resort before travel.
From Denver, shuttle and shared-ride transfer companies operate between DEN and Colorado Springs area hotels; these are typically longer and costlier than a COS transfer because of distance.
- Reserve the resort’s shuttle in advance to secure a pickup time.
- From DEN look for dedicated airport-to-Colorado Springs shuttle services or private car transfers; book ahead for best pricing and availability.
- Call BookResorts agents (24/7) at +1 (888) 605-1350 for help arranging transfers or confirming shuttle availability.
| Option | Best for |
|---|---|
| Resort airport shuttle (fee-based) | Short transfers from COS; direct to hotel |
| Private car service / limo | Groups, tighter schedules, or arrivals from DEN |
| Shared shuttle from DEN | Lower cost but longer trip time |
Taxis, rideshare, and car service
Taxis and rideshare apps (Uber/Lyft) operate at Colorado Springs Airport and Denver International Airport. From COS these typically produce a quick direct trip to the resort; from DEN the fare and time are substantially higher because of distance.
Private car services or airport transfer companies can provide fixed-price trips and are a good choice when traveling with lots of luggage, pets, or a group. Confirm vehicle size and pet policies when booking.
- From COS: rideshare or taxi is usually the quickest door-to-door option when shuttle timing doesn’t match your arrival.
- From DEN: request a quote from several providers before booking; expect travel time similar to driving and potential higher surge pricing.
- If traveling with dogs, check the carrier’s pet policy — the resort allows dogs but transfer companies’ rules vary.
| Service | Notes |
|---|---|
| Taxi / Rideshare (COS) | Quick, convenient for single parties or small groups |
| Taxi / Rideshare (DEN) | Longer trip; higher cost — compare quotes |
| Private car / limousine | Best for groups, fixed price, and extra luggage |
Public transit and local bus connections
Public bus service can link the wider Colorado Springs area with stops near the resort. A Hwy 115 & Cheyenne Mtn southbound bus stop is located about 500 meters from the resort per local listings; that can provide a low-cost option if you travel light.
Public transit is slower and less direct than driving or shuttle options. If you plan to use buses, check the local transit agency schedules and allow extra time for transfers.
- Plan itineraries around bus timetables and stop locations; the stop is not immediately at the resort entrance but within walking distance.
- Public transit is a budget-friendly alternative; it’s best for travelers who do not mind extra walking or schedule constraints.
- For door-to-door service or tight schedules, prefer shuttle, taxi, or rental car instead.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Lower cost | Less frequent service, slower, and may require walking |
| Useful for single travelers with small bags | Not ideal for large groups or heavy luggage |
| Environmentally friendly option | Schedules and routes can change — confirm in advance |
