The property met or exceeded our expectations. We would, and likely will, return again on a future visit. The property is unique, but is described accurately.
A spectacular view and architecture! plenty of space to spread out. Surrounded by nature yet only blocks away from the center of town. We absolutely loved this place.
We loved our stay! It was a gorgeous view of Manitou Springs and the mountains. While it felt like a little oasis, we appreciated the easy walk to downtown Manitou Springs. There was plenty of space for our group, and we each had our own personal space. Communication with the host was excellent and helpful. We will definitely stay again when we are in the area!
We had the most excellent relaxing stay at this property. It was very clean and had everything we needed. The views were absolutely stunning. We could not recommend this place enough. It made our first time in the area complete!
I cannot begin to describe how breathtaking the mountain view from this property is and how wonderful the house itself is. A short walk down to a Hallmark movie like town. Just book it and get it over with.
We had a great time staying at this property. From waking up to a beautiful view to cooking and eating in front of this view! Will definitely book again!
Beautiful view!! Overlooking Manitou Springs, the Manitou Incline, and Pikes Peak. Close to town but all downhill then uphill without sidewalks all the way. Non-traditional house…really small bathrooms, no central place to relax and watch a movie or a game. We didn’t use the kitchen, so can’t speak to that. Primary bedroom was spacious with sofa, panoramic windows of the mountain range…but bed was a queen Murphy bed. For our purposes, it all worked!
The location was perfect. The house was fabulous. We loved every room and all the windows.Was enjoyed by the entire family. Would definitely stay again.
Really stunning property. The upper and lower bedroom/bathroom layout is interesting, as there are very few doors. Worked out fine for girls getaway, but only because we all woke up at the same time. But the views are breathtaking and the proximity to town is very convenient (albeit a steep walk home.) Really enjoyed our stay!
This house is so unique - we loved it! The windows, the landscape, the wildlife - just beautiful. The beds were comfortable. The location was perfect for us, we hiked at Garden of the Gods, and Red Rock Open Space. We loved the downtown area right by the house for dinners and ice cream. Overall just a great experience for my family. Thank you!
We had a wonderful experience! This was the cleanest home we have ever stayed in on VRBO. It was spacious, well equipped and comfortable for 4 adults and 2 teens. The views are absolutely stunning and it was very relaxing the sit on the patio at night and see the town below. The host was wonderful and communicated extremely well. The property is definitely walkable to downtown but be prepared for some steeper slopes on your way back up to the house. We would definitely stay again!
Delivered everything promised...a house with a view. 2 of the 3 bedrooms are partially open to the main living area, which was a bit different, but overall, a comfortable stay.
This property was amazing. Gorgeous views outside every window. Excellent location near shops and dining in Manitou Springs. Friendly community. Very close to Manitou Incline and Garden of the Gods. Perfect location for two parents and two teens. One of our best VRBO experiences.
This is the most amazing property! Views for days! Clean and beautiful. Our host was super communicative and accommodating. 10/10 recommend. Would stay there again any chance I get!
This is our second time staying here. Another perfect stay! This beautiful home is impeccably clean, and the mountain views are stunning. The host was incredibly attentive. Highly recommend! Everything was perfect!
Amazing house and location. We walked into town every day - short easy walk. The view was unparalleled and the neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. I would highly recommend this property if you are visiting Manitou Springs. The house had everything we needed and check-in was smooth. If we ever make it back, I would definitely stay here again.
Exceptional property. Location is fabulous and close to shopping and restaurants. The entire homes design is an experience in itself and every room has views of the incline and surrounding mountains. The exterior is great to watch deer passing by and enjoy fresh mountain air. We will absolutely book again in the future!Thank you to the host for the hospitality!
What a wonderful weekend - we enjoyed downtown Manitou and loved being close enough to aLao enjoy the Garden of the Gods and the Springs. Kitchen was well equipped and had everything we needed. Beds were comfy! Views are just spectacular and the details in the home were so cool! Definitely recommend!
This was our second time renting The View House. The view is breathtaking, the house is beautiful and fun, and the owner thinks of every detail. We walked into the town of Manitou Springs and had great meals and fun evenings listening to live music. We love this place and hope to be back again. Thank you!
