Excellent stay. If there is a nicer property in town we didn’t see it (and we walked around a lot). Wonderful history of the property. Great communication and easy access. Beds were comfortable and rooms are large. Well equipped kitchen so there was almost nothing extra we had to buy. Great job!

Perfect Wedding!

We held our wedding at The Allison House. Everything was absolutely perfect! The communication from day one was top tier, I never had a question that went unanswered from the host. The house was clean and accommodated the whole wedding party. Our family/friends were blown away with how beautiful the house was. Thank you for making our special day even more amazing!

Beautiful house that combines classic yet comfortable decorating in the living room and bedrooms with the luxury of modern kitchen and bathrooms. Nice property with lots of outside seating where you can hear the sound of nearby Fountain Creek. Quiet location yet close to everything.

Amazing house!

Everyone was blown away by how cool this house was! So nice to be able to walk into town to the nearby restaurants, shops and arcade . The abundant parking is very valuable since it is scarce and costly around Manitou Springs. The back patio with a grill, smoker and fire pit is as private as it gets. And the river and bridge out front are so peaceful. We had an absolute blast! All the beds were extremely comfortable and the kitchen is very well stocked with supplies. We hope we will be able to come back again in 2025. Thank you to the hosts for sharing such a memorable home with us!

Perfect spot to access all Manitou has to offer!

Simply put, perfect, quiet, parking, access!! Two families of 4 (Teens 13-15) stayed several nights and this property is perfect. Walking or biking (provided by property) access to downtown Manitou. Don't question it, just book with confidence! 6 total beds are available so everyone had their own bed to sleep on. Adults 2 per bed, kiddos each had their own. Perfect! ~Will
