The Nest Review
My stay at The Nest was very comfortable. I had everything I needed to make my stay very enjoyable! Thank you for frequently checking up on me to see if I needed anything! Borrowing your crockpot was a bonus! Thank you for a great stay!

Honeymoon in the Shire
We came here the day after our LotR themed wedding and when we arrived, it felt like we stepped right into a Tolkien novel. The lil cottage was about perfect and all rules were clear upon entering. We were a few minute walk away from the shops and I loved that. I strongly recommend anyone stay here is your can, and if we find ourselves in the area again, while I’d love to see the other property I’d be more than happy to stay in the Nest again.
Loved the location. Would definitely stay here again. Excellent location to downtown Manitou

Great place to stay
The property and the host were great. We had a wonderful vacation and having a nice convenient place to stay was very accommodating. We plan to return.
The Nest was the cuttest cottage with a private hot tub for 2 in all of Manitou Springs! It was the perfect weekend getaway location for my Sisterfriend and me. We were able to walk to downtown in minutes. Once there, you'll absolutely fallin love with the town and the people. if you're looking for a place to stay in the Manitou Springs area, this charming, cute little cottage could be just the place you're looking for!

My daughter and I enjoyed a four-day stay at the Nest- a small yet cozy and welcoming cabin within walking distance of everything we had planned (using the shuttle service). The host was responsive, check-in instructions were clear and easy to follow, and their home was well-equipped with everything we needed and more! Thank you for sharing your place!

This was a great place to stay for our weekend getaway to CO. Location was great and parking was easy and your just down the street from plenty to eat and things to do. Hot tub was secluded and very clean. Everything was clean and well kept. Thank y’all so much for the hospitality.

My best friend and I had a wonderful girls weekend at The Nest. The space is perfect for two. We loved the patio area and soaking in the hot tub under the stars. Walking distance to downtown was a bonus! We'll be back!

Wedding prep and mini honeymoon
Adorable small house, the women in my wedding party got ready here throughout the morning and my new husband and I stayed here after the wedding. Because it's so small, some amenities were hard to find in various nooks, but the hosts were perfect and helpful with everything!

Perfect little spot for a weekend getaway. Everything you could possibly need was provided for us and the location was just steps away from downtown Manitou Springs. And coffee just tastes better at 6400 feet!

Great couples retreat
The Nest is perfectly located in Manitou Springs. We were able to walk anywhere downtown within a few minutes. The hot tub was great. Note: Use caution when entering and exiting the parking area if you have a full-size truck or SUV as to not hit the garage overhang. We didn't have any issues, just worth mentioning so you won't either.

Great Weekend Getaway
We are a retired couple who had cabin fever and needed a quick getaway. We chose Manitou Springs, which was not too far from Cotopaxi, Co. We booked the "Nest", because it was only a block from main street, and had a free shuttle to ride the COG to Pike's Peak and back. This was a very great choice on our part!!
The cabin was very well decorated and very quaint for just the 2 of us. We had to only use our car twice, once to get there and to leave! Everything was so close. The bed was super comfortable for a great night sleep, The hosts were amazing and provided everything we needed without us asking! We actually did all our Christmas shopping at all the great stores!! We truly recommend the "Nest" not only it's such a super cute place, but because the hosts were top notched in every way!
P.S. The wine was delicious!! Thank You! Richard & Carol Ann Jenkins
