The cottage was quaint and cozy. It was well stocked with a full kitchen and everything we needed. The views were spectacular, especially from the large deck. The host thought of everything, even holiday season decorations. We especially enjoyed wood burning fireplace/stove and we plan to stay again next year. Note: the parking is limited and the host lives next door and does monitor the property/parking.

Great house with tons of character. The location is perfect as its near town, the cog train, and Garden of the Gods.Pack light, the front steps are a challenge and the door lock, while explained needs attention, but all in all a great property.

A lovely place to stay in Manitou!

We loved this house. It had everything we needed and plenty of space for 3 adults and 4 kids. The house has a ton of character and doesn’t at all feel like so many of the bland houses we’ve stayed in before. Plenty of amenities, super clean and the most gorgeous location.

The house itself was in good working order. Its an older house but was cozy. The stairs to get to the house and to leave were diabolical. I would not reccomend this home to anyone older with physical difficulties or anyone with kids.
