Superb location. Adequate accommodations for a large group of 13 people. Family gathering and dining areas worked very well beside the well equipped kitchen. The steps and multiple levels presented a challenge to one of our handicapped guests but the rear access to the carriage house and short cut to the kitchen solved the problem. The many attractions in the surrounding area were another benefit. Thank you for an enjoyable experience.

We are a family ranging in age from 8 to 77. 13 total. This house was perfect. Each bedroom had its own bath. It was well supplied with everything you need for your stay. So convenient to all sorts of shops, restaurants, and coffee. It was perfect.

We stayed at the Mansion & Carriage House in Manitou Springs to celebrate a graduation with friends and family. The venue and location were great! Manitou Springs is such a quaint mountain town that provided our guests some fun activities to do when we had down time. We highly recommend for any family-oriented event where you can have family meals and celebrations together under one roof.

The main house was beautiful and very clean. It had an amazing view overlooking Manitou Avenue. The house is very well taken care of and it was perfect for our group of 13 people and 4 kids. The cottage in the back was super cute and it gave the property a community feel where you could just cross the patio to visit your neighbor.

This property was nice and clean and had plenty of room for the 11 of us. I was also able to bring my dog which was nice as heโs part of the family. The location was great, right in the heart of Manitou Springs. All the kids enjoyed hanging out in the hot tub. The owners were very responsive with any questions we had. Thank you!

Beautiful home. Perfect size for large groups. Rooms are large, beds are very comfortable. Kitchen has all of the necessities. Town of Manitou is very nice and relaxing. Many stairs to maneuver both inside and out. Front and back of house have nice areas to sit. Hottub is a plus to enjoy. The separate cottage was quaint and perfect to provide grandparents room/living room and kitchen for more privacy. Parking was easy with provided parking passes. Overall 5 stars just realize stairs inside and outside could provide challenges.

This place had everything we needed to enjoy our stay for our sonโs December graduation from the Air Force Academy! It was nice to be able to walk along the Main Street in Manitou Springs right outside your door, for coffee or snacks or dinner. The kitchen was very well-stocked and there was enough space for the extended family to enjoy some quiet time! The only down side (but not really a deterrent) was the multiple levels of floors, which wasnโt too much of a problem for the younger kids but being from Florida at sea level and having to do stairs to get to bedrooms was a challenge for some of the older members of the family. Overall, it was a great stay and the owner and property managers were extremely nice and helpful. We would definitely stay again. It was a magical visit for us, with the added bonus of snow! โ๏ธ

We had a great time on New Years Eve. A group of nerdy friends playing games, enjoying the hot tub, and exploring this interesting home. Comfortable beds and 9 bathrooms from which to choose. Updated kitchen was functional and clean.

The Avenue is a charming house in an ideal location. The rooms were furnished with lovely period furniture that was functional and comfortable. The beds were especially comfortable. The house was also exceptionally clean, especially for such an old home. The kitchen was perfectly stocked, including provided coffee! We'd love to stay here again next year!

This property is amazing. Great location to local businesses. Beds, bedding & pillows were the most comfortable of any places we have rented.
Lots more stairs than we anticipated from internet pictures & write ups. We loved having our reunion here! We had family from state of WA, AK, CO,TX & MT. What a great time for us to all gather.

This property is better than described. Tina and her team were excellent at communication and the property had everything you would need for a week stay. There was a bathroom for each bedroom. The beds, pillows, linens and towels were of the highest quality. The front porch and back patio were our favorite locations to people watch and simply enjoy the scenery. This is an excellent location to enjoy Manitou Springs, most everything is within walking distance. Plus a number of other attractions were within close proximity making this the perfect location for a vacation.
