I would NOT recommend this house in its current condition. We expected a quirky mountain house, and it delivered. It was clean and comfortable, but there were several things that need to be addressed. Communications need to be improved. The owners were either slow to respond or did not respond at all. The accuracy of the listing was poor. The listing shows parking and garage. In fact, the garage is the âgame roomâ. So, no garage. It shows a fireplace and woodburning stove. The fireplace doesnât work (which the owners knew) and the stove is on the deck outside so useless for heating the house. The electronic lock to the game room had a dead battery so we could not access it. The owners said theyâd have someone out to fix it but it did not happen while we were there. One of the biggest issues is the upstairs shower. While we kept the curtain in the tub, you had to create a gap in the curtain in order to access the wall mounted soap dispenser. By doing that, the water leaks onto the floor and found the large hole in the ceiling, which looks like it is moldy or rotted or both, and dripped onto the living room floor. Donât use the shower. There are only 5 seats in the living room. Several items did not work or were missing. The owners would benefit by experiencing the house from the POV of a renter.
The location was accommodating to us vacationers who needed to grab groceries and last-minute items (10 minutes away from the nearest Walmart and gas station). The mountain views were stunning, but there were a couple of grown trees we had to contend with to see them. The Hot tub was conveniently close and very clean! The game room is further away, down another flight of stairs, so we didn't utilize it as much as I thought we would, though it would be a great idea for younger kids/teens with a lot of energy to burn. This is a great place to stay to rest your head for the night. Beds and pillows were super comfortable, which was appreciated after a full day of hiking. We enjoyed evenings playing cards in the covered porch, too! The owner was responsive when we had questions or concerns, as well. I had to provide some feedback regarding the cleaning of the rental, so make sure you check EVERYTHING if offered 1-hour to inspect after check-in or go elsewhere (especially behind bed pillows and in less obvious areas of the home).
This house was very quaint and comfortable. My three children and husband loved our 3 night stay here and would definitely come back again. Directions, assistance and communication was simple, clear and quick. Owners were kind and gracious and keep this place a fun and truly enjoyable stay for anyone.
We loved this charming home tucked in the mountains! It had everything we needed. We were all able to do stairs ok which is a must both inside and outside when staying here. The location was great as we were close to so many fun things to do!! Communication with the host was great. The outside grounds needed a few more solar lights on the front and back stairs to help light things up. We loved having the hot tub! We would recommend this property to others as long as they have no issues using stairs :) Such a fun stay!
Just minutes away from all the staple Manitou Springs tourist attractions & an easy driving distance to surrounding highly coveted CO âmust visitâ spots.
This is a super unique property. Big porch and Arizona room. The views from the porch were amazing. The process and everything was great. Super cute park very close by. Loves everything about. Would definitely recommend.
Our family of 5 plus sister in law stayed for 3 nights and 4 days. Loved it!House is very cozy and plenty to do even with a park for the kids in walking distance near by.Great restaurants close and Santas North Pole just 4 min away by car.Donât let the drive wayâŠdrive you away. There is another parking spot up at the top. The stay and the area is worth it.If you are visiting in winter time, snow chains just in case. We did it with a front wheel drive and made it safelyâŠhad snow chains just in case.We hope to come back again!
We really enjoyed the convenience of this setup!! The property owner was very helpful with any questions and my family and I enjoyed our time in the mountains! Just Beautiful!
Pics are accurate, owners communication was great and stay was good. Neighborhood was great, views were great. Parking is terrible. Driveway is so steep you canât park there. You actually have to drive to the back of the house to park one car. This IS COMMUNICATED by owners but not until after youâve booked. Little Sus. In my opinion. Still a 4 out of 5 stars.
Other than the hot tub not working well on a few lights not working it was a very nice place to stay. Got to meet the owner because we were out of LP for the grill. He was Johnny on the spot and had a new tank installed in no time. Very nice place for the money and the owners are Awesome! Thanks for the week!
The property is charming and has everything that we needed to have a nice relaxing family weekend. The teenagers really enjoyed the game room and the hot tub. Hanging around watching television was comfortable. The house is very clean and lovely. The driveways and tiny roads leading to the property are a little bit tricky. General location of the property is a very nice spot because you can get to many things from it.
We really appreciated the little touches that made it a comfortable place to stay. The beds were very comfortable!
