Great Location

The location was great with easy access to all the sites we planned to see while we were in Colorado Springs. The home is older, the beds were comfortable, the flowers in the backyard are beautiful but the bees liked them too and the individual air-conditioning units were adequate but if you like it cold for sleeping it might not be enough.

Cute little house in Manitou Springs almost next door to the Garden of the Gods

- Really close to the Garden of the Gods - Well decorated, clean place - Good instructions on how to get to the house, specifically that the entrance is from the backyard. - Keyless entry: Such a lifesaver!
