Great location!!

This property is in a great spot for hiking the local attractions and getting around town. The hot tub was nice for relaxing after a long day on our feet.

Ideal location & property with great character

I can’t imagine a better place to stay in Manitou than this home. We walked to the Cog rail, restaurants, shops & so much more. Hosts were fantastic & it was such a relaxing vibe. So glad we didn’t make the mistake of choosing a hotel - this gave us a true Colorado experience. Highly recommend!

Great location

This house was cute. It had so many unique characteristics. The location was perfect. You could walk into town, walk to train depot. I hope to make a trip there again. The owner was quick with responses. The house was very clean and everything you would need was already provided.

Central location for CO Springs exploring

Spent part of our spring break here and adventuring around COS. Easy location to several COS locations and also easy walk down to Manitou Springs. Enjoyed the mornings on the porch with a cup of coffee.

sweet house built into the mountain

4 of us where visiting MS for a long weekend. 4 ft of snow fell just before our arrival and Jean hustled to get the house ready from previous guests to us. Not easy on very narrow road, driveway, and steep steps into the house. Because of the snow we couldnt do the incline but moving around the house and town was incline enough. We loved our stay and have to come back to enjoy the wonderful outdoor space at the house.

About the host

Hosted by Jean

Why they chose this property

As a little girl growing up in western Kansas, my mother and I would take several trips a year out to Colorado, riding the Cog Railway every August. As the Cogway traveled toward the summit of Pikes Peak, I remember many times gazing over at this particular cottage situated on the mountainside dreaming about what it would be like to own that home. After being in the previous owners family for over 100 years, I magically had the opportunity to purchase the historic hillside home. Spending time at the vacation home has brought back special memories of the time I spent here with my mother (who has sadly passed away). I hope all guests who stay here will feel how special (in so many ways) this property really is.

What makes this property unique

We could not believe this property was finally for sale after being in the same family for over 100 years. We jumped at the chance to own this particular cottage located in such a special "residential owners only" area on the upper edge of historic Manitou Springs. Take in the fresh mountain air while sitting on the balcony overlooking Ruxton Creek, listen for the Cog Railway blow it's horn, watch people ride up to Pikes Peak summit waving as they go by. Walk a few hundred feet and arrive at Barr Trail TH, Manitou Incline, and Cog Railway. The historic and unique cottage is located at the end of a private road providing unparalleled privacy, quiet, and unbeatable views of Garden of the Gods, surrounding mountains, wildlife, and the valley below.
