The property was perfect for two ladies looking for a central location to play in the Springs area. It was well stocked with everything we needed. The host was quick to respond. The beds were super comfortable and the house was well maintained. Loved the outdoor space. Would definitely recommend this property.

Cute cottage
Charming cozy cottage. Very clean and had everything we needed for a comfy stay. Close to everything we wanted to do. Between Old Colorado city and manitou springs which were very cute , quaint towns. Only complaint if I had one is it’s on a very busy street and we could hear cars and motorcycles all night. But really didn’t affect us much. Beautiful views of the mountains. Safeway across the street was nice.

Great sisters weekend!
My sister and I spent a weekend here in early November to catch up and spend time together after a long absence. We had a great time! The host was available via text if I needed. The home was absolutely charming, clean, and so cutely decorated! We didn't have a lot of plans other than dining out and shopping, so we hung out at the house a lot and really enjoyed it. It is slightly noisy being so close to a busy street, but bonus is that it's so close to everything we wanted to do, it made it convenient for us and saved a lot of time getting from place to place. The beds are super comfortable, the yard is super cute. Fun to sit on the front porch but again with the traffic - no fault of anyone, just happens to be the location. We would definitely stay here again. Would like to come back when it's a little warmer to spend more time outdoors in the back yard.

This was just perfect!
I traveled to Colorado Springs from Omaha to hike the incline with my sister and friend. This location is perfect, perfect, perfect! It was super easy to get to the Incline, the Cog Train, downtown Manitou, downtown Old Colorado City, and Garden of the Gods. At the house, we enjoyed beautifully decorated rooms, a smaller but perfectly functional bathroom, and having coffee on the front porch with a view of the mountains. The kitchen is tiny, too small to do any large amount of cooking, but it was more than adequate for warming up leftover pizza and making breakfast in the morning. Everything was clean and the beds/linens were very comfortable. There is a large stash of extra blankets if you need them. Overall we had a delightful stay and the property was perfect for our needs.

The property was clean, the hostess was thoughtful in what she had available for us on the property (indoor/outdoor games, lots of outdoor seating, a Britta water pitcher already filled, extra blankets, etc), and the location was perfect for all we wanted to do and see while in Colorado Springs.

Adorable Cottage!
This cottage was close to everything we wanted to do while in Colorado Springs. Even the day we drove to the Royal Gorge an hour away, didn’t seem bad at all! The cottage was clean and cute. We have a 4 & 7 year old who stayed on the trundle bed. I do wish that the TV was a smart TV so they could have watched a movie to unwind before bed. They had to use my laptop on the desk chair instead. Im not sure about the other two bedroom TVs as we never used them. Hot water was great, having a tub for the kids was amazing, kitchen had everything we needed. I appreciated the Brita pitcher! Tons of pillows, blankets, towels and fans was perfection. Little issue with the key pad upon arrival but the owner helped us immediately. It cannot be helped by the owner, but there are a lot of homeless around the area, so original windows (gorgeous character) without locks made me nervous. Along with the front door with a hotel latch instead of a deadbolt. That being said we had no issue or negative interactions with anyone the week we stayed! Just general mom anxiety, so I slept in the room next to the kids. We would come again. Which is the main point! The guest book in the kid room helped us pick places to eat that were great. Starbucks and Rocky Mountain Chocolate nearby hit the spot after hiking all day! Being a few blocks away from Manitou Springs was fun too. The penny arcade was the kids’ favorite so we went twice! Thanks for providing a warm homey vibe for us.

Perfect quaint and cozy getaway place in Manitou Springs
Our family (two adults, two kiddos 5&6) took a trip to Manitou Springs over memorial Day weekend. The Emerald Nest was the perfect little cozy getaway that was perfectly located in between all of our activities. We loved the charm of the old house and its character. It was within just a few minutes of most of the things we planned to see in the area (Cave of the Winds, Cliff Dwellings, Garden of the Gods). The kids absolutely loved the trundle bed in the third bedroom. Our only slight hiccup was the door keypad seemed glitchy and wouldn't unlock. Cindy was great though and immediately answered our call and got us in the door. The keypad then started working most of the time. We loved the handwritten card welcoming us to the home and all the fun snacks and things for the kids to do. There were many amenities for a family to do (outdoor games, fire pit, outdoor seating, front patio, Roku with Netflix was a big help with the kids, puzzles, card games, checkers, chess). We will definitely stay again at the Emerald Nest on our next trip to Manitou! Thanks again Cindy!

We had everything that we needed for our stay. House was cozy and perfect for the four of us. Only glitch was the little raccoon who decided to nest under the crawlspace and our hostess tried to remove her with putting mothballs in the crawl space to get rid of them. Just some odor from that, other wise wonderful place to stay! Linda
