It’s a very nice property to be able to do a variety of things. Sit by the fire pit and listen to the creek flowing by, sit out back on the deck, or sit in one of several cozy rooms with comfy couches and chairs. Plenty of space for all! The house is close enough to walk into town to go shopping too.

Beautiful historic property on the quiet west end of Manitou. Furnishings were stylish and comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped.This was our second stay in this property. This time we hosted two dinners for our children and grand children. The master suite is perfect. The large bath area included a dressing room and a towel warmer.Parking was plentiful and free.We hope to return soon.

House was perfect! We came during Christmas week and the house had a Christmas tree in it! The play room was a hit for the kids to hang out in. There was even a towel warmer in the main bathroom ( which now we are buying!) .Host was very responsive. There are so many shops, restaurants, liquor stores and a park walking distance. The Santa workshop was only a 8 min drive away. It was a perfect home to stay in!

Excellent stay. If there is a nicer property in town we didn’t see it (and we walked around a lot). Wonderful history of the property. Great communication and easy access. Beds were comfortable and rooms are large. Well equipped kitchen so there was almost nothing extra we had to buy. Great job!
