Getaway
The house was located centrally to all activities that we had planned. The house also offered an older charm with all the modern amenities required for a delightful stay. We enjoyed the gorgeous view from the deck after each day’s activities. We hope to plan another getaway to this lovely house!

Excellent location, cozy and unique!
The hosts were very responsive and accommodating! The location is great for the incline, hiking and the cog train. The town is walking distance too. You get great privacy at this location and it was a quiet retreat . I would definitely stay here again and would recommend to a friend or family. Thanks for a great weeeknd!

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!

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.

Delightfully Eclectic and Comfortable
I really enjoyed my stay at this home. It’s perfectly eclectic to match the Manitou Vibes. Very clean, comfortable, and well stocked. Tons of great outdoor seating with views of the mountains and DT CO Springs. Jean was incredibly patient and helpful with me, as I can be a little technology challenged at times. I would highly recommend staying here. Thanks for the wonderful experience!

Manitou Springs/Cog Railway stay
We were a group of 60+ aged adults coming for weekend of exploration/fun. House is definitely unique! Kitchen is near entrance - very well appointed with lots of supplies! First floor living area is nice - but small with only 1 sofa. First floor bathroom is nice - but quite a few steps away from the sleeping areas. Steep stairs to 2d and 3d floors - we had no issues but be aware. Great master bathroom outside master bedroom on 2d floor. Nice 2d floor sitting area with more sitting space. The 2d and 3rd bedrooms are actually the attic - accessed by a set of very narrow stairs. If you are tall like I and my husband, you will be bending over once at top! Beds were as described - we used one side and one of our friends slept on the other side - it's all open once upstairs on 3rd level. NO FIRE ladder for 3d floor that I could find. We used the hot tub - nice to have its own space. Tub is small - best for 2 people! It snowed while we were there - snow shovel provided at entrance. Host let us know that the city takes care of road - and they did! If coming when snow possible 4WD a MUST! You are right at Manitou Incline and Cog Railway when you stay here - loved hearing the toot-toot of the train when it would depart station - so it can be a little congested there but totally manageable. If a hiker - the Incline is steps away as is Barr Trail. Host Jean was easy to reach/fast in responding to queries/fixed some lighting issues for us.

great place for a family
Everything was as you would like it. A good number of rooms for sleeping, and for gathering to do puzzles, games, or watch TV. The wrap around porch was as great as it looks in the picture - we sat out there in the morning and night looking over the amazing view. Wonderful mountain property.

EASY TRANSACTION
Property was mostly as described. The only issues we had was an abundance of cobwebs on ceiling in second story bedroom and the ceiling fan needed cleaning of dust buildup, as well as dirty drawers in dresser. Overgrowth of shrubbery over hand rail was a possible safety issue on narrow, steep stairway. We did not make use of hot tub, or kitchen on our stay. Check in and directions were adequate.

The stairs from the street level up to the third floor was an athletic feat. Having to go from the 3rd floor bedroom downstairs to access a shared bathroom on the second floor in the middle of the night was inconvenient. The seating areas were very nice.

Beautiful sunrises!
We are a family of 5 -- one 12 yr old, traveling with his parents & his grandparents. It was the perfect location -- a quick drive into town, and walkable to the cog and the melodrama dinner/theater -- yet it so quiet & peaceful when we returned home. Oh, and the sunrises viewed from the 2nd level front porch were fabulous!

This is a lovely, historic house in a perfect location. Just up the hill a bit from the cog on a private road but close enough to town if you are in the mood for a walk. Beds are very comfortable and the kitchen has everything you need. The property is beautiful and the view from the top porch of the mountain, the city lights at night and the sunrise in the morning was the best.

Awesome Place!
This was a girls' trip and there were 4 of us all over the age of 50. This place was awesome! Just as shown in the posting on VRBO. The view is spectacular. You can hear the stream running by the house. You are located on the Barr trail and right near the Incline. If you are going to downtown Manitou, it is about a 15 minute walk. But, there is a free shuttle located at the Cog Rail station. Just can't say enough good things about this rental. But, beware, there are a lot of steps! :) Did not bother our group in the least! The hot tub was awesome also! Would highly recommend! Thank you Jean!
