This house was beautifully updated. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would book this house again. The location is within walking distance to many bars and restaurants and a short drive to downtown, Garden of the Gods and Manitou Springs.

This property is a GEM!
Everything about my stay was top-notch in terms of charm, comfort, amenities, cleanliness, and communication with the owner. If I asked a question, a response was forthcoming within a minute or less EVERY time. I’ll be coming back to this sweet little gem when I’m in the area. These owners go out of their way to make it a great experience.
