Cozy home and great location
We enjoyed our stay, with beautiful views from the balcony, and a very serene and quiet area! located at the foot of the Manitou incline and Barr trail. The home was cozy and very clean. The stairs in and out were a workout, especially after hiking, but we made it! Host was great at communicating and accommodating us!

Great location
Loved the location in Manitou Springs! We did the Incline and the Cog Railway; both were within walking distance which didn’t require us to drive and pay for parking. The home was clean, had all the amenities we needed and fun detail. The hot tub was a wonderful perk.

Fall in Manitou Springs
This house is in a gorgeous location. It has easy access to some breathtaking hiking and is close to town while being far enough to enjoy solitude in the evening. It is an interesting 100+ year old house, so know that you will be climbing tall stairways with small steps. The owners are awesome and very responsive. We would definitely stay here again!

Amazing views at this historic home
The house was exactly as described with really cool historic details and decor - and lots of stairs. The kitchen and bathrooms were stocked with all we needed and the wraparound porch with views was a major highlight and where we spent most of our time. Would definitely recommend as long as you’re okay with lots of stairs.

Great stay on the Cog Railway
Property was perfect for our group of six. We could walk to town, easily, and got a work out on the hill back to the house. Enjoyed hiking trails and Cog Railway nearby. Loved the deck for morning and evening nature watching.
