There are unique restaurants and shops and an amazing collection of artists living here, drawn no doubt by the natural beauty and majesty of the area.

My husband and I stayed here with 7 other family members (total of 9) and we had a wonderful time. Even though there were so many of us it didn't seem crowded. It was wonderful to have a place so close to Downtown Manitou yet so quiet, peaceful, and senic. Additionally, living in this historic home gave made us feel as though we had stepped back in time! Wonderful place to stay.

We had a wonderful stay at this wonderfully restored and maintained Manitou Victorian! The home was incredibly clean and well-equipped, and the rooms were spacious and comfortable. We enjoyed sitting out on the patio in the evening and best of all, walking into Manitou for ice cream. We highly recommend this home!

Our family lives next door to this house. My wife & I were curious about the extensive work we saw going on in the yards,so asked for a quick tour,, The owners were very polite, friendly, and actually entertaining showing us their beautiful world. We want to stay there for our 25 year anniversary, even though we live so close. This is a supreme experience for Anybody. It is perfect, Obviously jealous, I will say to you, it is a totally historical re-living of our grand parents days in and around this enviroment...

Wow!!! What a wonderful place to stay. We were there for a week and had a great time. We had several vistors...deer and chipmunks. The deer will come right up to the back deck to feed on the plants...they are beautiful creatures. This place has a great location, there is so much to do within a 15 minute drive...we found that a week was just not long enough to do everything there is so we plan on returning in the near future.

We loved this house! It was perfect for a family of 5. We rented the main level only and had plenty of space. The views are spectacular and the house had everything we needed. The decor is beautiful. We will return!
