Great for a unique stay
It’s a very unique place to stay. Do not expect a 5 star hotel but that’s what we like. We like private and unique - and a safe place for our dogs where people don’t stick their nose up. Perfect for us

We enjoyed our stay. 2 bedroom cabin is layed out oddly but worked for our stop on the way home. Room had definitely been cleaned but the odor of the cleaning products were a little too strong.

Old but nice
Manitou Springs has been renovating their older hotels. This place is like living in a lodge. Our little lodge was clean and roomy.
A clear view of Pikes Peak. Restaurants nearby. Easy access to highways.

Coziest cabins
The charming cottages are modernized but inside there is a perfectly balanced comfort factor and classical taste. Nothing was left to be desired...Absolutely worth the reasonable rate and perfectly located in Manitou Springs. The family run business is so far my favorite stay now in this area. Great, courteous service and 100% clean and cozy.
