We came to Manitou Springs for the Barr Trail Mountain race and this house couldn’t have been more perfect. It is conveniently located by the Cog Railway where the race starts. Beds were comfortable and my family had plenty of room to spread out. It was also fun to watch the crowds of people start the incline each morning! If you are looking for a place to stay in Manitou with a very short walk to the Cog Railway, Incline, or the Barr Trail -definitely stay here and avoid trying to find a parking spot. It is also an easy walk down Ruxton Ave to downtown for dinner and shopping!
The house was perfect for multiple families and so close to pike’s peak cog railroad and the Manitou Incline. We walked everywhere, to town for coffee and meals, to the incline and the cog railway. The kitchen was well stocked and we cooked out on the grill one night for dinner, it was great.
All of the stars are for its great location to all of the points of interest listed in the description. The photos are not an accurate picture of the property. The carpet needs to be replaced and the furnishings are sparse and dated. The kitchen does have two coffee pots but that is all that can be said. There are 2 bedrooms on the first floor and up to five people can share the bathroom. Floor 3 has one master suite, the second bedroom has a bath attached but no counter space because it is too small. It is well over priced for what you receive but with a little attention and maintenance it could love up to its photos.
The location of this property was perfect for our vacation - right next to the Incline, the Cog, and the free Metro to town. It was great to have our own parking! There are a few things that need to be updated (carpet stains, furniture, etc.) but I'm sure this property sees a lot of action. More artwork on the walls and black-out shades on all of the bedroom windows would be helpful. The property manager was so accommodating. The house had everything we needed for our 3-family vacation! Thanks so much!
This house it the perfect location for those wanting to do the Manitou Incline. It's literally steps from the entrance. And, the Cog Train Railway is just across the street. You can walk to town if you're conditioned to hills, but we had no trouble finding parking and chose to drive due to the snow. Great kitchen and laundry facilities. We enjoyed both living areas and the 3.5 bathrooms suited our group perfectly. Did I mention 2 outdoor deck spaces? What a great house!
Had requested early check in and they were great to work with. The house was in a great location. Went there for Pike’s Peak Ascent and the location made it easy for other travelers to watch the race.
7 adults traveling for a wedding. House was spacious, clean and comfortable. Great location walking distance to restaurants and shops. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Great location, near Cog Railway, the incline and Barr trail. Would be great in the warmer weather, when one could enjoy the outdoor attractions, along with relaxing on the front porch. Also liked that we could walk down to the center of Manitou Springs, which offers many shops and restaurants, along with the children’s arcade. The house was nicely equipped. Gas grill had to be lite with lighter, and could have used some potholders. Having the electric fireplace in the master bedroom was an extra bonus especially during our February stay. Great stay! House definitely has some charm. Thank you for helping our family make great memories!
Very pleased with the location, especially if you're taking the train to Pikes Peak, hiking Barr Trail or climbing Manitou Incline. It's a couple blocks from each. Clean, comfortable and great front porch and back patio. 10 min walk to downtown Manitou.
The person said they were the gardener when I questioned her about parking in one of our reserved spaces. She then began calling me and my daughter ugly names. Her behavior was completely unacceptable.Also, there were dirty dishes in the dishwasher and towels in the dryer.Finally, there is a leak from the ceiling in the half bath on the second floor. I think it’s from the shower in the primary bath.
We stayed 3 nights and this VRBO was close to downtown shopping and the Pikes Peak train. It was very clean and plenty of room for 9 of us. We want to come back sometime in the future and this will be our place of choice for staying.
