Great rental property! Clean and comfortable beds, great location, cozy house. While one bathroom for 3 bedrooms can be more difficult, the bathroom was spacious and well equipped so we were more than happy. Likewise, the kitchen was on the tiny side but more than well equipped enough to do the job. The only downside was a lack of a stove exhaust vent and a knife sharpener but both were not too problematic at all. The host was also very communicative and helpful. Overall I would definitely recommend staying here especially if you’re interested in hiking around manitou springs or garden of the gods.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! The house was centrally located to Manitou Springs, Garden of the Gods, Pike's Peak etc! Liked that we could sit in both the front and back of the house. The only drawback is that the kitchen is small, only 1 person can be in there at a time.

This cottage was perfectly cozy for meeting up with our college kid for a weekend. It was a perfect blend of cozy space-indoors and out-but also ample bed space for everyone to get a good night's sleep. The snacks were a welcime treat after a long day of travel. Clean, comfortable and cozy!Easy access to Garden of the Gods and Manitou restaurants and stores. We also enjoyed hiking at North Cheyenne Canyon and dining at Mausum.

This house was just right for our visit to Colorado Springs. The front porch was a great spot for hanging out, and the back yard would have been as well if it hadn't been rainy. Everything was as nice as the descriptions and photos showed. I would gladly stay there again.
