2nd stay
The house and property are much as we remembered. We stayed for several days in 2021. Unfortunately, we both developed back issues after making the reservation. We were unable to do as much out and about as we had intended, so we spent more time at the house. We noticed differences from last time, such as new flooring where before there had been carpet and fewer books on the shelf. Unfortunately, at our age, we probably won't revisit Manitou Springs, especially on a fall weekend. The house is a pleasure, and we recommend it to anyone who can navigate the many stairs.

We absolutely love this cute little house. The outside sitting area just as beautiful as the inside. We loved the view of Pikes Peak and the Manitou incline. Both of which we did. The kitchen was fully furnished with everything needed for cooking meals. Thanks for sharing your home with us.

Enjoyable stay
Cute place. I agree with all of the positive reviews except for: 1) The floor was a bit dirty with dog hair and so on. 2) The toilet area was a really tight fit. 3) Although the location was very convenient and beautiful, the homeless problem was quite significant in the area. No problem for me, but I could see how it could be a turnoff for some people. 4) Some maintenance is needed for the fridge and the garden wall behind the porch. Overall it was still a good value for me, but some improvement would make it even better.

Cozy and Comfortable
This little bungalow was colorful, cozy, and comfortable. The several steps were narrow, but no trouble for us and accurately advertised. We passed by the place the first time because it is kind of tucked back. The driveway is short, but it was fine for our little rental car. A short drive to Garden of the Gods, downtown Manitou Springs, and Colorado Springs. The deck was great for sitting outside and enjoying the mountain view. It was fun seeing the kids playing on the soccer field across the street too. Everything was well-labeled in the house with great directions. Plenty of towels and toiletries and everything we needed.

My young adult daughter & I stayed here for 3 days. We visited the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo and visited the Garden of the Gods each day. The view from the kitchen window is a red rock formation in the side yard & Pike’s Peak, so beautiful! Great location!

Difficulty maneuvering around stairs. This should be pointed out on ad. Especially if handicapped or climbing issues. The place needs sprucing up. Couch pillows are old and should be replaced. Old refrigerator no ice maker. Too much clutter.

Enjoyed our stay very much. Only problem we had was our last night went to use BBQ grill and either we did not know how to operate it or it was out of propane. Was to late to get ahold of property management. We will use them again next time we are in Manitou Springs. Thanks
