Wonderful

This is a small and quaint property located within walking distance of downtown Manitou. It is the perfect getaway from "city living" with a minimalist feel to it. The bed was a little smaller and firmer than I'd like but all else was great!

Cozy home in a great location

My wife and I stayed at this location for 2 nights in February, 2025. The location was excellent providing us easy walking access to shopping as well as the incline (via Hiawatha Garden free bus which has a stop just a couple of blocks away). We saw plenty of wildlife (deer) just outside the back door. All necessary amenities were included and the host communication was excellent. Highly recommend!

Great little place

We had to find last minute accomodatiins and this fit the bill. When some unexpected plumbing issues arose, they responded quickly and the maintenance man stayed until it was completely addressed and we were satisfied. The issue was fixed so that it will not happen again. We would definatly stay again.

Location was perfect for daily adventures

Located just a 5-minute walk to Manitou Hiawatha Gardens - parking and shuttle. Another 5 minutes you are downtown with restaurants, brewery, shops, retro arcade, and ice cream stores. Garden of the Gods opens at 5 am, get in the park before 8 am to avoid the crowds. Pikes Peak was well worth the trip. Manitou Springs has plenty to offer for everyone. We would like to visit again with friends and family. Hiking and exploring then sitting on the private patio made for a great vacation.

Perfect for us

It had exactly what we needed and wanted. We could easily walk into Manitou Springs. It is also right at the back end of the Garden of the Gods. The kitchen had good supplies. We often have no kitchen towels or decent pots and pans at places. This had all of those. It also has some cute decorations.

Beautiful place, so close to everything

The perfect place for a couple. Hidden off the street, we spent our time at the house enjoying the back deck. The house had everything we needed to grill a meal at home; do laundry, just relax, a comfortable bed and a hot shower. There's so much to do so close to the house than just relaxing - Garden of the Gods is within a 10 minute drive. Pike's Peak is close enough for daily visits. You could spend days shopping in Manitou or Colorado Springs. It was the perfect spot for everything we wanted to do! I did not experience any of the issues others have had in the past. The air conditioner in the bedroom needs some attention - However, they did fine in keeping the entire house around 70-72. The hosts were easy to contact and very responsive to questions - the propane tank needed filled in the middle of the week - it was filled by the time we returned that afternoon. Overall - a great place for a couple looking for quiet, private retreat close to outdoor activities. FYI - there are stairs to access the unit not mentioned in the listing.
