The property listing description was accurate. The railroad tie stairs are a bit treacherous, especially with heavy bags, but that was disclosed. The unit was clean and well stocked. K cups for coffee were provided! The linens on the bed were thin, faded and worn, but they did the job. There is noise from upstairs, but fans and a noise machine are provided. The ceiling has been repainted in patches and could use a thorough repaint, but again, that didn’t affect our stay. The location was quiet, yet convenient to everything that we wanted to do in the area. The views from the porch were nice. The biggest disappointment was that just a couple of hours before check-in we were notified that the hot tub at the property wasn’t working and wouldn’t be repaired during our M-F stay. Erin, the property manager, was very apologetic and suggested that we might want to visit Sunwater spa, a local mineral springs hot tub spa so we could have a hot tub experience with a Mountain View. We booked a 90 minute soak and thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub and the cold plunge! It was only $45 per person and was money well spent! Erin was very responsive to all of our questions, even when the TV remote batteries were out late one evening! She offered us some money back due to the broken hot tub and also offered many suggestions on things to do in the Manitou Springs area. I can’t say enough good things about her! Overall, I would stay here again and would definitely rent from Erin and her company again

We needed a place for a week long getaway and we saw this. It was a nice and cozy place, worth it for the price, great neighborhood. There is an upstairs and while we were there we had some particularly noisy parties... so as long as you're okay with some noise this is the place for you.

If you like lower level apartment living, this place is for you! If you love upstairs neighbors walking around in boots all night and moving around furniture, this place is for you.

Beautiful area, loved watching the wildlife from the porch.

We enjoyed our stay. The front steps up to the door are a bit more challenging than we thought as they are not level. We enjoyed the hot tub and the great view.

Very nice. Highly recommend. We will definitely be back.

The view was beautiful and the neighborhood had hiking trails close by.

This property is adequate for what it is, i.e., a lower level rental in a mountain cabin. Just keep in mind, if you're looking for a peaceful mountain retreat, you're trying to beat the odds. You'll need to have a high tolerance for noise coming from the upper level like loud thumps, clearly discernible conversation & laughter, footsteps of people walking in hard-soled shoes, and so on. It's a roll of the dice whether the unit above you will be occupied - we stayed 3 nights and had a loud "partying" group the first night, no one upstairs the second night (blissfully peaceful!), and a quieter family the third night. The bonuses of this property are the private sauna and hot tub, both very easily accessible from the unit. There's a beautiful view of Pike's Peak and plenty of windows in the unit to bring in natural light. The kitchen is generously stocked with utensils and cookware to prepare your own food or heat leftovers from restaurant dining. The bed was SO comfortable with plenty of pillows and extra covers available. We've stayed at multiple rental properties over the years and they vary greatly. This one lacked the personal touches that some places provide, making you feel it is your home away from home. This one felt more "corporate", being managed as one of multiple properties in a conglomerate. But it did provide the basic items needed. Overall, this isn't a terrible place to stay if you can deal with neighbors but we personally won't be renting here again.
