This is the second time we stayed at one of Jean’s properties in Manitou Springs and both times we had a great stay. I will definitely stay at this house again. The rooms were very clean, new carpets, and directions were clearly communicated. The kitchen had pots, pans, coffee mugs, dishes, bowls, and silverware. Would definitely like to come back with my family some time. Thank you!

Property is perfectly located. We were able to enjoy all of the points of interest. The property had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We were able to visit the Cliffs Cave Dwelling, Cave of the Winds, Seven Falls, Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center, and Garden of the Gods. We also rode the Cogway Railway which is a short walk from the home. We really enjoyed the hot tub, and the enclosure made it even more comfortable. This property checked every box and we look forward to returning!

Pros: location! Fantastic views! Really unique old house. Plenty of space for my family of 6. Well stocked kitchen. Plenty of towels, soap, shampoo. Felt very clean overallCons: mattress and pillows desperately need updated. Word of caution: price quoted is for 2 people. Additional charge for each guest. (This is mentioned in description, but we missed it.)Stairs to house and in house are very narrow and steep! Owner mentions this. Just be sure to consider if you have any older people. But, overall a great stay! Would definitely recommend and we would stay again if in the area.

We thank this guest for her review. For clarification: The mattresses are all high-end Denver Mattress brand mattresses, and the pillows were all replaced last month.

Our family of four stayed for 4 nights. We loved the location. We were able to walk into downtown Manitou Springs as well as the trailhead for the Barr Trail is only a 3 min walk. Great views from the balcony. Home was equipped with everything we needed and then some.

A lovely place to stay in Manitou!

We loved this house. It had everything we needed and plenty of space for 3 adults and 4 kids. The house has a ton of character and doesn’t at all feel like so many of the bland houses we’ve stayed in before. Plenty of amenities, super clean and the most gorgeous location.

Great house with tons of character. The location is perfect as its near town, the cog train, and Garden of the Gods.Pack light, the front steps are a challenge and the door lock, while explained needs attention, but all in all a great property.
