Fun family getaway

We enjoyed our quick trip to Manitou Springs! The location for our lodging was perfect! We had plenty of room for everyone and the house was well thought out and very comfortable! This is one of the best short-term rental houses we have stayed in.

Incline Retreat

This property just keeps on giving. The house is from 1892. The wood on the staircase is magnificent. Soft from years of touch. The kitchen is fully stocked. My husband and I brought our 15 & 17 year old children and prepared several meals. The hot tub was comfortable for all of us to hang out in. The Murphy bed was my 15 year old son’s favorite thing. He slept in the upstairs living room. My favorite thing was the backyard. If you take the door out of the kitchen and climb the stairs there you end up behind the house in a tight space then you come out on the upper patio continue up those stairs into the mountains above. Beautiful views and hiking trails await. Thank you for sharing your home.

Beautiful house, perfect location

Would absolutely stay here again. It’s a beautiful old home that is so comfortable and well appointed. It felt like being at a friend’s house, not a rental. The location cannot be beat. Steps away from Barr Trail, the incline, the cog railway and the theater, and it’s a short pleasant walk into town. Thank you!

An awesome property that unders sells itself

Honestly, one of the best properties I have ever stayed with any online rental site. Tons of character, a great location and an excellent host. Unlike some properties that don't live up to the photos, I really felt like we got more than we expected here, especially in terms of space. The hot tub was a great extra that I used several times, we used a little bit of the kitchen and we used the fireplace regularly. Beds were pretty comfortable. We used the washer dryer, and don't underestimate the importance of having parking in Manitou. In fact, my one complaint about the otherwise beautiful location of Manitou. Is that parking is quite difficult on weekends, even if you're willing to pay for it, finding it is time consuming. I have no qualms at all about recommending either the city or this property.

Weekend getaway

We came to spend time with family and explore the area. The host was easy to reach and addressed any issues quickly. There was one issue that could not be resolved but she did try. Everything that we planned was close and easy to get to. The beds were so very comfy after our long days of hiking! We enjoyed our stay.

Highly Recommend!!

Great location!! Our family loved the house! Everyone was truly impressed and we are pretty picky. Very CLEAN! Plenty of room to hang out and visit. Lovely furnished front porch, the kitchen and dining room was great for gathering for a meal and playing games together. The loft upstairs is a great additional hang out space. Every room has updated and upscale furnishings and each space is perfectly planned out with plenty of seating for relaxing and hanging out with the family. They have payed special attn in decorating each room. The beds were so comfortable and bedding was lovely. I would highly recommend this home. Jean went over the top to answer my calls and texts....almost immediately... to answer my questions before and during our stay...and she even went out of the way to make sure we had what we needed for my 89 year old mother's sleeping accommodations. Truly, she felt like family. Wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you for a wonderful stay!!

USAFA Parents Weekend

We have been coming to visit our son at the Air Force Academy for the last 4 years. This was our last Parents Weekend so decided to head out of town a little bit to do something different. This property did NOT disappoint! It exceeded our expectations. Our only complaint is we didn’t find it sooner! Our host was super helpful & quick to answer our questions. They even offered us to check in earlier since the cleaning crew finished before our scheduled time. We loved sitting on the front porch for coffee, playing games they had supplied in the game closet & the kitchen was supplied with everything we needed. Truly felt like a home away from home getaway & loved the quaint town of Manitou Springs. Thankful for the memories made this weekend!

Lovely historic home. Spacious and clean. I loved seeing my family love it as much as myself. My granddaughters’ reaction to how amazing the house was made my heart smile. The home has an excellent location, across the street from a babbling creek. We would enjoy our mornings on the front porch. Maria

Great location, cool house.

Great stay in a great location. Lovely, comfortable property for a few days. Couldn't sleep with the windows open, however, as traffic and talkative foot traffic starts at 5am. Being right on the main drag and so close to the incline trail / cog train has pros and cons! Would definitely stay again, however, if visiting again.
