Perfect property for our annual family reunion. The kitchen was supplied with everything we needed to prepare our meals. The large, sunny dining room was good for eating and just sitting together talking. The backyard had plenty of seating for all and our 2 young boys loved running and playing in the large area. The location was convenient to the Garden of the Gods, Pikes Peak, Cheyenne Mountain Zoo and strolling in downtown Manitou Springs. We all give the property a big thumbs up.

We enjoyed our stay at this spacious house. It was very comfortable for our family reunion. It has a great location and the host was very responsive to any needs we had. We would definitely stay again.

We really enjoyed being so close to the charming downtown area. The house was fun and easy with lots of kids.

We held a rehearsal dinner for our sons bridal party. Given all the activities, 10 am checkout was a bit rushed as the owner wanted the beds stripped and towels washed. Also the beds did not have a bottom sheet. Overall the location was great and met our needs. Fans were also great to circulate air.

We're local and wanted to have a BBQ for our son's first birthday. We picked this property for its beautiful backyard. It was perfect for a small gathering of about 20 friends and family. The added bonus was a perfect staycation and a place for a few out of town guest to stay and enjoy Manitou Springs. Such a beautiful historical home with all the perfect spaces for hanging out, cooking a nice meal, and relaxing with friends.

Location is amazing and hosts are responsive and helpful. We had a good stay, however... We were disappointed to find that, although the listing is advertised as ada compliant, it is not. There are no grab bars in the bathroom, the bed is too high, lots of stairs, etc. In addition, the 3rd floor attic/kids rooms were HOT and difficult to sleep in. Host did provide a ton of fans but we had to put kids to sleep very late due to heat. The attic & many bedrooms have no blinds, so kids are up bright & early. Also, we couldn't open all windows on 3rd floor because windows are low with no screen- a straight 3 story drop if a kid fell through. Finally, I realize we were at altitude, but we had trouble cooking in the kitchen. After ~30 min of waiting for water to boil, we used the burner on the grill outside. Then we stopped trying to cook.

We had a large group - my husband and I, his four adult kids/their significant others and two grandkids, his mother and my teenage daughter for our trip to Manitou Springs. This vacation home was PERFECT for our needs; the kitchen had everything we needed for our meals, the selection of board games, toys for younger kids, and even the outdoor spaces had a lot of options (we had pogo stick jump-offs one night!). Walkability to downtown was ideal. Our host was very responsive - we were going to grill dinner one night and realized there were no propane tanks...a quick reach out to Joanne and she had refilled ones dropped off within an hour! Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would go back!

Wonderful hosts. The home was large enough to comfortably hold our large extended family - plenty of bathrooms, indoor and outdoor eating space, etc. We enjoyed the close proximity to downtown Manitou Springs, which made it very easy to do quick excursions.

The property was ideally located. It has a great outdoor area and plenty of space and bathrooms for a large group

6 raccoons came out at night and got into the garbage even with 2 big rocks on them.

This is a perfect place for large groups. Plenty of space for all. Very close (walking distance) to restaurants, coffee shops, ice cream and the arcade. And there’s a free shuttle that takes you throughout the city. Close to many attractions including Garden of the Gods and the Incline. Back yard was perfect for lounging and meals. Lots of seating!

This is an annual tradition for our family. We rent a home so we can all stay together for the long weekend of food and fun. This home has the BEST area for sharing meals we have encountered yet. The sunroom is spacious and has a huge dining table that comfortably seats 12. We had some trouble getting in as the code for the lockbox had been updated, but this info was not updated in the check-in email and the owner did not respond to calls or emails. The correct code was texted and we did get in. The kids loved the 3rd-floor sleeping spaces. We did end up purchasing a baby gate for the top of those very steep stairs and put a suitcase at the other end where the stair opening was not protected. TONS of outdoor space and activities were available and we all enjoyed the yard and games. Overall a wonderful place, great location, and we look forward to holding our Thanksgiving gathering here again!

we got this beautiful spacious home for my son's wedding.... However, three weeks before the event he had an accident. The property manager was extremely accommodating and changed the days. She received our family and was super helpful and understanding. The property is spacious, well stucked, beautiful, accommodating. I wish the family was there for a happy time..... I feel blessed that we were there because we were able to say our goodbye in this welcoming home, thank you so much Joanne and John.

We loved the whole experience. From renting to occupying. There was so much room for us to gather outside and so many things to do inside if you chose to do so. The kitchen and dining areas are amazing. Very well stocked kitchen and excellent seating for all 16 at the table. Beds had very good mattresses and pillows. Would we stay there again? Absolutely. Our main concern was the air conditioning. It was 100 degrees and nearly a hundred all three days. Because of the altitude, we were able to open windows at night. No one complained about not being able to sleep. We did not miss central air. We were also impressed with the number of very nice bathrooms and the many decks around the house if you'd like to get away and have cozy chats. Walking to the down town area was just a few blocks. 10 minutes from the Garden of the Gods and a bus shuttle to the Pikes Peak incline. The children loved the penny arcade downtown (so did the adults). You can't have a bad time here. Thank you Joanne for making our family reunion the best! Because you house was so lovely and unique, we will be talking about this forever.

We rented this property for our hiking trip to Pikes Peak and loved the location.

Great location and this house has potential to be a premier property. However, the house and yard contained a lot of clutter. Amenities in the home and the outside area were either damaged, dirty and/or broken. As far as cleanliness, it was unsatisfactory. The kitchen cabinets, countertops and appliances were grimy and sticky. The microwave was filthy and was missing the turntable that sits under the glass tray. Linens were old, stained and ill fitting. My family hoped they had been washed as they did not smell or look they had. For a $500 cleaning fee we expected a basic level of cleanliness. The owner was kind enough to let us check in early but we would’ve rather come into a clean home. Now a word about electrical problems. Bathroom outlets in both second floor bathrooms did not work. Vanity lights above the sinks in both of these bathrooms also were not working, as well as the door locks. Lights did not work in the main floor bedroom. This listing said that the house sleeps 16. Our party consisted of 13 adults and 2 children. After booking we were charged an additional $90. When I asked about it, the owner related that it is for every additional person over the amount of 12. This detail was Not mentioned in the listing. One should be aware of this as well as the photos listed on this property appear to not have been taken recently. With most negative reviews posted, the owner responds with some type of excuse. When I related my complaints via text to the owner I received the same type of response. If you are wanting a location close to town this property is perfect, however just be aware of what you are getting.

Excellent location. All major activities are within 6 mile radius. Property close to downtown and restaurants. Property big enough to accommodate 15 people. Property owner was very accommodating and prompt help to make our stay comfortable. Last thing that imo I would say is that kitchen needs some upgrades.

Plenty of room for large family gatherings. The owners were helpful and easy to work with. Recommend highly!

Great location if you want something near the mountains in colorodo. Lots of rooms in the house if you are traveling with a big family. Only one tv in the house and living room area not the biggest, but all and all we all enjoyed the house.

Thank you so much for hosting us during the Pikes Peak Marathon! We had a great time staying in your lovely home. Also, thank you for being so great with communication :)

The property has plenty of space for large groups. The backyard BBQ and seating were enjoyed by all. The house has a great dining room to sit a large family and plenty of rooms for the guests. The location can not get any better due to only being one block from Manitou Ave. and all of the amenities Manitou has to offer. If visiting in the hot summer days be prepared to air the house out due to the heat. The owner provides plenty of fans but it would have been nice if the property had evaporative coolers. It is so nice not having to drive anywhere if you don't want to. There were plenty of places to eat and drink. The younger kids enjoyed the arcade and parks. My family enjoyed the house and will return when large gatherings are planed for this area.

We had an absolute blast in Manitou Springs for a girls weekend. We easily fit 15 girls here and it was so nice to have such a big house to reconvene at throughout the weekend. The backyard is AMAZING and we spent most of our time hanging out on the back deck. My only complaints are that we couldn't find extra hand towels and there was only one roll of paper towels provided for a four day weekend and only two coffee filters. The house also wasn't completely clean as we had to wipe down some stuff. Joanne was fantastic to communicate with and I would highly recommend this house for families or a big group weekend!
