We loved Hummingbird Cottage! It was a lovely place to stay. We could easily unpack everything. The bedrooms were very nice and comfortable. The large front porch was a wonderful place to sit and relax. The entire cottage was roomy and very welcoming. John was a great host and so easy to work with.

Very informative owner

The renting process was seamless. Cozy and quaint place to stay while enjoying the sites. Cottage was well equipped. Within walking distance of shops and restaurants in Manitou. John was very helpful and suggested points of interest. Great front porch to watch the sunrise. Loved that he introduced us to his pet dogs .

Charming Cottage

This was a great little property for our visit to Manitou! Short walk to downtown and all the happenings there, and easy access to the shuttles for the Manitou Incline and Pike's Peak Cog Rail. For those who might have some physical limitations, the cottage sits atop a steep street, so the walk can be challenging. It won't stop us from staying there in the future, but an FYI. It actually helped burn the calories from all the great restaurants! John, the owner, was great! He met us out on the sidewalk when we pulled up and was thorough in sharing everything we needed to ensure our stay was perfect. We highly recommend staying here!

Excellent location and beautiful home!

Everything was just about perfect. We will rent there again when we come back to the area! The only minor issue was that we got to Manitou very late, around midnight, and had not eaten all day. However, the host greets you when you get there and lets you in. To avoid getting there even later, we drove to Manitou from Denver as soon as we got our rental car. By the time we got there and checked in no restaurant was open. Self-checkin would make it much more convenient. So if you are getting there, and need to eat, plan accordingly!

Quaint, generally clean but a few things to know...

Clean and cute little place. Generally fine. Feedback: I wish I would have realized the bathroom could only be accessed via the second bedroom before i rented it, and that the walls were so thin for the second cottage unit. Also, parking and walkway and stairs to the unit not the most ideal for anyone with knee or other issues. A little updating to the surround and shower curtains might improve the shower experience, as well as a mirror in the main bedroom. But all in all, good experience, and it was clean and comfortable. Nice stay.

Great location

This cute cottage is close to everything there is to do in Manitou. John, the property owner/manager was very responsive and me us when we arrived and delivered our luggage to the cottage. The place is really cute and decorated appropriately for the age of the home. Bed was comfortable. Sitting on the front porch with a cocktail was our favorite spot to relax and view the town. The only negtive comment I have is about the bathtub/shower. It is an old fashioned clawfoot tub with a curtain surrounding it on all sides. While very cute, the high sides made it difficult to get in, and there is nothing to grab onto to steady yourself. Definitely not for anyone with any kind of mobility isssues. All in all though, we had a great weekend and enjoyed the cottage.

Awesome property, great location and friendly owner!

My girlfriend and I had never stayed in Manitou Springs before, so we didn’t know a lot about the location but rented this cottage hoping it would be a nice place and good location and both were perfect! The cottage had everything we needed and was a nice place to hang out and sleep between outings. The owner was also very friendly and met us at the gate early and we continued to run into him randomly throughout the trip and he was always very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend! Thank you for everything! :)

There just aren’t enough thing I could say other than if you see this available, don’t pass it by. Book it and you will be thankful you did.

Outstanding Experience

We spent five days and four nights at Hummingbird Cottage. The location in Manitou Springs is amazing--only about a block from downtown and less than a mile from the trailheads to the Intemann Trail, Barr Trail, and the Manitou Incline. This historic property is beautiful and well-maintained. The owner, John, is a terrific guy who lives on site. He is great with communication and instructions and responds to questions promptly. Our family had a great experience and will definitely be back.

Quiet and peaceful

The Hummingbird Cottage is a beautiful place to stay, and John is a wonderful host along with his dog, Morty. This location is perfect for walking around Manitou Springs, but be prepared for the hills! They are steep! It’s also the perfect location to sit outside overlooking the garden while reading or enjoying morning coffee! Perfect stay!

Lovely duplex two blocks from downtown

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hummingbird Cottage. The duplex was cozy with two bedrooms, a small kitchen, bathroom and living room. We spent hours sitting on the front porch enjoying the gardens, views and occasional hummingbird or butterfly. John was very friendly and helpful, and we enjoyed occasional visits from his dogs. It took us about five minutes (max) to walk downtown. A few more to walk back, since it's up a pretty steep hill. The location was quiet and peaceful and we'd definitely stay again.

Convenient and quiet retreat

Our stay at John's cottage was very pleasant. We especially enjoyed the quiet street, closeness to downtown Manitou Springs eateries, and sitting on the porch each night watching the moon rise. A plus was our host's super friendly dog Morty who paid us the honor of quiet, affectionate visits. Expect a quiet retreat with comfortable beds and good air conditioning -- be prepared for bathroom features (including a claw foot tub!) that might not please everyone but are perfectly adequate.
