Hot tub was clean. Every room was perfect. Front porch is so nice to sit on. Quiet street. Short trip if not within walking distance to many places. Manitou Incline COG Railway just to name a couple. Kitchen well stocked. Two living rooms and two bathrooms.

We planned a hiking trip - Pikes Peak. Location is JUST PERFECT. We hiked just around the property to start our hike from Barr Trailhead. We didn’t have to worry about finding a parking spot way early in morning. We didn’t get to use hot tub, so can’t comment on it. It’s an old home but very homely. Kitchen is fully stocked with all essential utensils, dishes, coffee makers. Bosch dishwasher :)! Huge refrigerator! We didn’t check if it is able to make ice or not - perhaps, waterline is not connected! It’s right across from Cograil Depot and small river coming down from the mountain. Porch faces the depot, valley towards Colorado Springs and ridge. Amazing views! Overall, this is a great place for everyone seeking for a weekend get away or weeks of retreat from hustle and bustle!

The view from the balcony is wonderful! The picture is what sold me on this rental. That and the proximity to the cog train depot. We simply walked down to the station in the morning. The house is also a very short walk to the Barr Trail trailhead. Very convenient to someone wanting to hike the Pikes Peak Trail. The house was clean and the beds comfortable with thick comforters. There are a lot of stairs and they are narrow. The listing did say there were stairs, but we didn’t appreciate how many to reach the bedrooms.

We kind of got shaftedI’ve never written a negative review before, but really feel like we got shafted by these hosts. Shortly before our trip began my wife injured her knee and needs surgery once we get home. But we were past the refundable period on this house so thought we’d give it a try, even knowing that there were a LOT of steps (50 from the street to the bedroom floor). It only took a day to realize her knee couldn’t take it. I explained this to Jean, and asked if there was any way to get a refund. She said, ”The way to get a refund is if you cancel and then the property is booked by another guest.” So we canceled and they quickly rebooked 6 of our 9 remaining nights.Great news - until our refund came. They refunded the equivalent of 1-1/2 nights.I asked Jean how they came up with that number. Silence. So basically they used our misfortune to double book (and double charge for) the property, then sent a small percent to us as a refund. Not cool. Contractually yes, they could do that. Was it the right thing to do? Not hardly!

Close to all the best things

Amazing walkable access to Barr trail & the Cog Railway. Fully stocked kitchen! Lots of hummingbirds to watch while you're sitting on the porch. A bear knocked over the trashcan our first night, so good thing it has a lock on top! The pinpad lock gives a bit of trouble, but not bad once you figure out the trick. Great place to stay overall!

A lovely place to stay in Manitou!

We loved this house. It had everything we needed and plenty of space for 3 adults and 4 kids. The house has a ton of character and doesn’t at all feel like so many of the bland houses we’ve stayed in before. Plenty of amenities, super clean and the most gorgeous location.

Everything is sloped down hill, floors, appliances and beds. We suggest that you inform others of the amount of stairs that are involved, both exterior and interior. If you are elderly it’s important to have known that.
