A lovely place to stay in Manitou!

We loved this house. It had everything we needed and plenty of space for 3 adults and 4 kids. The house has a ton of character and doesn’t at all feel like so many of the bland houses we’ve stayed in before. Plenty of amenities, super clean and the most gorgeous location.

Close to all the best things

Amazing walkable access to Barr trail & the Cog Railway. Fully stocked kitchen! Lots of hummingbirds to watch while you're sitting on the porch. A bear knocked over the trashcan our first night, so good thing it has a lock on top! The pinpad lock gives a bit of trouble, but not bad once you figure out the trick. Great place to stay overall!

Perfect location and views

We loved this house and location! We were able to walk to and from the Cogway train! You could see the train coming and going and hear water running. It was perfect! You are only minutes from downtown Manitou and all of the many things to do there!

On a slope

Everything is sloped down hill, floors, appliances and beds. We suggest that you inform others of the amount of stairs that are involved, both exterior and interior. If you are elderly it’s important to have known that.
