Home was beautiful! We loved the little squeaks the floors made. It added to the old home charm. Snacks in the kitchen were a hit with the kids. Would definitely rent again if we’re in the area! Communication with host was quick & easy, they’re very responsive & accommodating! We got into town earlier than expected & they were able to let us check in early which was great!

The house is very cool - the uniqueness that only comes with old houses paired with the freshness of updates (kitchen, bathroom). It had everything we needed.I would highly suggest the next update being new mattresses. All of the beds upstairs are incredibly squeaky & I was surprised at how EXTRA firm the master bed was (not a typical hotel/vrbo fit).The location is central to everything - manitou springs, movie theaters, museums, etc.

Brrrrrrr……..I don’t know if this is the regular routine, but there was zero heat turned on when we arrived. According to the portable heater we plugged in, it was 55 degrees in there. This is an old home with old heating. Mostly baseboard electric. The first night was cold for everyone other than the person that slept in the smaller upstairs room. Between the baseboard heat and the portable heater, it was ok the first night. We had to open the oven door and run the electric oven to help heat the place when we were home. It took two days to get it comfortable. The door didn’t function properly upon arrival, but I will give them kudos for taking care of that situation quickly and effectively. It is as advertised other than arriving with no heat turned on in Colorado in the winter. Very close to downtown and the bar/restaurant scene as well as a bunch of fast food options.

This place was great for what we needed! We were out all day so it was nice to come back to a cozy place right in town. We like charming older places and Frank’s Flat is clean and updated in all the right things. Beds were comfortable. The host was quick to respond. We would stay here again.

Frank’s Flat is a very cute historic house. The charm is evident and the hosts have worked hard to update the inside and make it comfortable. The bathroom, kitchen, and living area are updated. The upstairs bedrooms (1 rm w/ queen bed & 1 rm w/ 2 doubles) were comfy and cozy. I love the hallway between the rooms. I loved hearing the creaks and groans of the old house. The only drawback back was that it seemed to be in a not-great part of town. There were homeless people in the park directly across the street when we arrived, and that evening, they packed up and took their stuff down the street a couple of houses (that seemed to be a halfway house). A lot of the homes and businesses in the area are run-down. Our car was never messed with, nor did we have any issues (except for loud talking/yelling all night). I just wasn’t expecting that atmosphere. For the price of the rental, I think it’s a very good deal.

Good lodging

Overall, it is private, easy to find, easy to communicate with the owner, and the kitchen is clean. However, the house is a bit old, so it makes some noise and the air conditioning is noisy.

Everything about our stay was great. We loved the flat. It was very clean and charming inside. The kids really loved the snacks too. Attention to extra hooks, towels etc was a nice touch too. This listing was perfect for our family with a fully packed vacation schedule and was a great deal.

Ideal lodging and experience

Our family of 5 stayed here for a couple of days while visiting friends. We loved the area and the house, but are familiar with city life. The house felt so spacious and the bathroom and kitchen were especially wonderful. We really only slept there, but already told our friends to send all of their guests there! We’ll stay there again and again! We didn’t have any issues so no communication with the owner but the detail and thoughtfulness they put into the house makes me think they’d be great to work with! The one thing that would have made it better is to have a bigger bed in the master bedroom, but that is pretty minor to me.
