Colorado's best getaway and adventure located at the base of Pikes Peak #1

Kitchen was equipped with decent pots and pans..Kelly & John the Hosts were wonderful #1.. and very helpful as well as very pet friendly ,overall very nice. We have stayed here for 3mo now while my house was being renovated for water restoration.

Location was great. Has lots of outdoor things to do near by lots of great history in the area. Plenty of local eatery’s in the area with great food. Love the mountain vibe. Had one issue the host had it solved in 10 minutes for us. Would definitely recommend and would stay here again.

All the descriptions are accurate AND the glowing reviews are too! In addition, this place really feels like home - even in a winter storm. Comfort, warmth, accessories, decorations, amenities, technology, everything is top notch. Walk up the hill right behind the hill far enough and you’ll be at 14,115 looking at the world. Better be fit! 1 minute drive up the road below the house and you’ll reach the north pole and Santas workshop, great for younger kids. Another minute further up and you enter the pikes Peak toll road to the top, through a curvy beautiful road with many things to see, even mountainous lakes. Go back east on the highway for five minutes and you reach manitou Springs, a few more minutes to cave of the winds, less than 10 minutes to Garden of the Gods. This place is a beautiful place to see Colorado up close.One caveat that older folk should consider – the only bathroom and two bedrooms are upstairs so if you have back knee or hip problems, it can be a challenge. There are other locations nearby, perhaps I’m with single-story, but I worked it out for five days and it worked great. But I’m not fully limited by it.I love the connection and the communications with Kelly, who was always responsive. We loved being able to be with the dogs, and one absolutely loved exploring the hills above and below the house, even with the fairly deep snow. Highly recommended.

The rental had decent basic kitchen items (plates, bowls, silverware) but did not have standard cookware. Additionally, the kitchen was quite dirty. We saw mice running in the kitchen on the second night, bought traps, and ended up killing and disposing of 2 mice during the stay. I would not recommend it for a relaxing staycation.

My family really enjoyed our stay! Beautiful home and a great location with a great view! Close enough to Manitou springs downtown location to restaurants and attractions. Would definitely stay here again.

We loved the location in the mountains , very private but also about 10 min driving distance from everything ,lots of places to enjoy your coffee outside . Large bathroom and huge bathtub We did notice some dog hair in places , not bad but we did notice . Some of the appliances need to be replaced , and the couch was not very comfortable.But it was a very spacious place, and we enjoyed our stay .

Property is very nice. Location is amazing. Very private and easy to get to. I would definitely stay here again and recommend this to anyone planning to visit this area.

Very clean. The place is very spacious. Well stocked with pretty much everything you need.

Great location right between Manatou and Woodland Park. And the plus was on the way to the North Pole and near Wines of Colorado. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Our two fur babies enjoyed it also.

Great location, comfy beds, nice towels, very clean. We enjoyed our stay and hosts were very accommodating.

Delightful! It was a lovely property, with a good kitchen, nice bedrooms, and a great bathroom on the second floor. It was very quiet and very private. It was among a lot of trees but yet had a good view, see pictures. The property was very clean and very well equipped, in the bedrooms, bathroom and kitchen. The owner and Caitlin and her partner were extremely responsive and very promptly fixed the one thing that needed fixing. Couldn't have been any better! The property was very nicely located. It was close to Pike's peak (we took the cog train and loved it) and the many other things to do outside, in and around Colorado Springs. There was a great restaurant just a minute or two away by car, Wines of Colorado. We ate there about 4 times. Just minutes away in Woodland Park were many other great restaurants, a grocery, drugstores, etc. Very convenient. There is no air conditioning, but we really didn't need it (mid July). We even put the heat on one night. We definitely recommend it and would go back!

We enjoyed the location of this property. It was close to a lot of places we wanted to visit. The property owner was very accommodating and responded in a timely manner. I will say the cleanliness could be better. The pictures are not very recent because the place looks like it's a little worn down and needs some TLC.

This property was great for a 2 night getaway with our teenage son. It was large and clean but a bit dated (which we didn't mind). We were grateful the space was cool even though outside it was 100 degrees. We enjoyed the private patio space and the decks upstairs. Although the space is pet friendly there isn't much space outside to walk the dogs as it's next to a busy road.

Enjoyed our time in Colorado springs

Great place

Beautiful and cozy place! Centrally located to all amenities. The host was very gracious when we needed to add more family during the middle of our stay. We stayed for a full week and the house had everything we needed to be comfortable! We will be recommending this location to all our friends and family traveling into Colorado Springs!

My husband, pups, and I had an impromptu getaway, and the property was great! The hosts were responsive and helpful, the property was as advertised, and an excellent value. We’d recommend it!

This house was perfect for the 3 of us and had lots of extra room. It was perfectly located for our trip and activities we did while there. Great view also!!!!!! Will definitely use them again when coming back in the future.

We liked the location with easy access to highway 24 and attractions. Bed comfortable, good shower, outside seating on decks and patios. Safe parking. We enjoyed eating on patio at nearby creekside restaurant, Colorado Wines. (Excellent service and food). Communication with host was excellent. Would stay here again.

The property is in a great location. The property is a little tired and could use some TLC. With that said, we would probably stay there again.

This house is short but gorgeous drive outside of Manatou Springs. A quiet, fabulous respite from the crowds in all the attractions, large and laid out well for good breathing space. Loved chilling in the Adirondack chairs after a long day out and about.

Great location for visiting Manitou Springs and Colorado Springs attractions. Comfortable bed. Large shower.

Location is perfect and beautiful. Great host and property! Our 2nd year here at this property and we will continue to come here every year. Very clean and organized!

There was no bedding for the pullout bed. There was no dish rag or scrubbing device to wash pots by hand. Made sleeping arrangements difficult and dish cleaning difficult.
