The house was exactly as described with really cool historic details and decor - and lots of stairs. The kitchen and bathrooms were stocked with all we needed and the wraparound porch with views was a major highlight and where we spent most of our time. Would definitely recommend as long as you’re okay with lots of stairs.

This was a great location, fun, and quirky house. It was a centralized place that allowed my family to easily get to our adventures. Our host Jean was easy to reach and quick with responses. The only thing preventing a 5 star review was the air conditioning in the house. The house was warm during the day but the temps quickly dropped as the sun went down.

Quaint historic cabin! Enjoyed coffee on the side deck in the morning and wine on the front porch in the evenings. Great workout with all the stairs. Lots of beds to choose from. My family loved the upstairs bathroom. Great place for a mobile family!

If you're doing the incline - stay here. If you're going to ride the cog - stay here. Don't want to pay for downtown parking stay here. Very, very charming house. Nicely stocked kitchen & laundry. Would definitely stay again and I recommend highly!.

Property was perfect for our group of six. We could walk to town, easily, and got a work out on the hill back to the house. Enjoyed hiking trails and Cog Railway nearby. Loved the deck for morning and evening nature watching.

We had a great time at the property. The steps are very steep so anyone with mobility issues would have a difficult time accessing the house. The only problem we had was that the air conditioning unit in the master bedroom would only blow hot air. Luckily we spent the days exploring the town and the evenings were cool enough to open the windows and turn the fans up.

My best friends and I booked this property for our annual Girls Trip and couldn’t have been happier. It’s very cozy with charming decorations and great views. Our only complaint is that the hot tub takes 12+ hours to heat (to a really hot temperature). So we were only able to use it for one of our two nights as it was heating the entire first night. It would have been helpful to have it started earlier on the day of our arrival. Regardless, we would book the property again and recommend it to others.

Very charming home! We especially enjoyed the hot tub and beautiful view from the front balcony. Appliances all worked great, and the bathrooms were very clean and luxurious. The kids loved sleeping upstairs, and we enjoyed the extra living room on the second floor by the master bedroom. We stayed in July, and needed the windows open and appreciated the fans at night, but it was still pleasant temperature-wise. Jean, the host, was absolutely lovely to speak with when we had questions, and was very responsive and easy to reach. We loved it and had no issues whatsoever, but the only thing I will say is there are a lot of stairs in this home, which may cause some with limited mobility to have issues. The master bedroom mattress was also a bit soft for my husband's and my taste, but that is just a matter of preference. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay in Manitou Springs! We will be back!

The house was located centrally to all activities that we had planned. The house also offered an older charm with all the modern amenities required for a delightful stay. We enjoyed the gorgeous view from the deck after each day’s activities. We hope to plan another getaway to this lovely house!

I can’t imagine a better place to stay in Manitou than this home. We walked to the Cog rail, restaurants, shops & so much more. Hosts were fantastic & it was such a relaxing vibe. So glad we didn’t make the mistake of choosing a hotel - this gave us a true Colorado experience. Highly recommend!

This house was cute. It had so many unique characteristics. The location was perfect. You could walk into town, walk to train depot. I hope to make a trip there again. The owner was quick with responses. The house was very clean and everything you would need was already provided.

4 of us where visiting MS for a long weekend. 4 ft of snow fell just before our arrival and Jean hustled to get the house ready from previous guests to us. Not easy on very narrow road, driveway, and steep steps into the house. Because of the snow we couldnt do the incline but moving around the house and town was incline enough. We loved our stay and have to come back to enjoy the wonderful outdoor space at the house.

I really enjoyed my stay at this home. It’s perfectly eclectic to match the Manitou Vibes. Very clean, comfortable, and well stocked. Tons of great outdoor seating with views of the mountains and DT CO Springs. Jean was incredibly patient and helpful with me, as I can be a little technology challenged at times. I would highly recommend staying here. Thanks for the wonderful experience!

We were a group of 60+ aged adults coming for weekend of exploration/fun. House is definitely unique! Kitchen is near entrance - very well appointed with lots of supplies! First floor living area is nice - but small with only 1 sofa. First floor bathroom is nice - but quite a few steps away from the sleeping areas. Steep stairs to 2d and 3d floors - we had no issues but be aware. Great master bathroom outside master bedroom on 2d floor. Nice 2d floor sitting area with more sitting space. The 2d and 3rd bedrooms are actually the attic - accessed by a set of very narrow stairs. If you are tall like I and my husband, you will be bending over once at top! Beds were as described - we used one side and one of our friends slept on the other side - it's all open once upstairs on 3rd level. NO FIRE ladder for 3d floor that I could find. We used the hot tub - nice to have its own space. Tub is small - best for 2 people! It snowed while we were there - snow shovel provided at entrance. Host let us know that the city takes care of road - and they did! If coming when snow possible 4WD a MUST! You are right at Manitou Incline and Cog Railway when you stay here - loved hearing the toot-toot of the train when it would depart station - so it can be a little congested there but totally manageable. If a hiker - the Incline is steps away as is Barr Trail. Host Jean was easy to reach/fast in responding to queries/fixed some lighting issues for us.

Everything was as you would like it. A good number of rooms for sleeping, and for gathering to do puzzles, games, or watch TV. The wrap around porch was as great as it looks in the picture - we sat out there in the morning and night looking over the amazing view. Wonderful mountain property.

Property was mostly as described. The only issues we had was an abundance of cobwebs on ceiling in second story bedroom and the ceiling fan needed cleaning of dust buildup, as well as dirty drawers in dresser. Overgrowth of shrubbery over hand rail was a possible safety issue on narrow, steep stairway. We did not make use of hot tub, or kitchen on our stay. Check in and directions were adequate.

The stairs from the street level up to the third floor was an athletic feat. Having to go from the 3rd floor bedroom downstairs to access a shared bathroom on the second floor in the middle of the night was inconvenient. The seating areas were very nice.

We are a family of 5 -- one 12 yr old, traveling with his parents & his grandparents. It was the perfect location -- a quick drive into town, and walkable to the cog and the melodrama dinner/theater -- yet it so quiet & peaceful when we returned home. Oh, and the sunrises viewed from the 2nd level front porch were fabulous!

This is a lovely, historic house in a perfect location. Just up the hill a bit from the cog on a private road but close enough to town if you are in the mood for a walk. Beds are very comfortable and the kitchen has everything you need. The property is beautiful and the view from the top porch of the mountain, the city lights at night and the sunrise in the morning was the best.

This was a girls' trip and there were 4 of us all over the age of 50. This place was awesome! Just as shown in the posting on VRBO. The view is spectacular. You can hear the stream running by the house. You are located on the Barr trail and right near the Incline. If you are going to downtown Manitou, it is about a 15 minute walk. But, there is a free shuttle located at the Cog Rail station. Just can't say enough good things about this rental. But, beware, there are a lot of steps! :) Did not bother our group in the least! The hot tub was awesome also! Would highly recommend! Thank you Jean!
