Great Location
The location was great with easy access to all the sites we planned to see while we were in Colorado Springs. The home is older, the beds were comfortable, the flowers in the backyard are beautiful but the bees liked them too and the individual air-conditioning units were adequate but if you like it cold for sleeping it might not be enough.

Cute little house in Manitou Springs almost next door to the Garden of the Gods
- Really close to the Garden of the Gods - Well decorated, clean place - Good instructions on how to get to the house, specifically that the entrance is from the backyard. - Keyless entry: Such a lifesaver!

Cute cottage
Charming cozy cottage. Very clean and had everything we needed for a comfy stay. Close to everything we wanted to do. Between Old Colorado city and manitou springs which were very cute , quaint towns. Only complaint if I had one is it’s on a very busy street and we could hear cars and motorcycles all night. But really didn’t affect us much. Beautiful views of the mountains. Safeway across the street was nice.

Beautiful, clean, fantastic place to stay!
We absolutely loved this property from the moment we walked in. It is an incredibly welcoming,cute place to stay with a great location. Parking was really convenient as well. It was great to have so many options for restaurants, along with a grocery store for items needed. The only suggestions I have are that there would be more than 2 small trash cans in the house. Also, it would be nice to have a bit more privacy in the back yard to the neighbors on the right side of the property. We had absolutely no issues, however, it was very difficult to tell where the property lines were, and we didn't want to be a bother. These are just very, very minor things, and would not change my mind for recommending / staying at this property again. Thank you for sharing your nest with us!! :)

Beautiful Home
We really enjoyed our stay. The home was located close to all the activities we had planned. Enjoyed eating outside in the back yard and enjoying coffee on the front porch. Saw deer in the backyard, squirrels and beautiful birds. Very relaxing. My daughters loved the movie selections.
