Accommodations were great. Hosts are efficient and available if needed. The house is spacious and very well maintained. Property is in a great location and neighborhood with easy access to trailhead with access to Garden of the Gods state park. Historic Manitou Springs is slightly north with great dining, wine bars and old town Colorado charm. Second time staying here in past year. When back in Colorado Springs, we will stay here again.

This was the perfect place to stay for our 5 day trip to Manitou Springs and the surrounding area. Location was perfect ... walking distance to Garden of the Gods, and close to downtown and all amenities we needed. The house was clean and super comfortable and Debbie and Luke were gracious hosts! Lots of wildlife and we were even greeted by 2 deer in the driveway when we came back from dinner one night. Great place!

About the host

Hosted by Debbie and Luke Ellington

Host profile image
We moved to Colorado after marrying over 40 years ago. We have always enjoyed awesome mountain setting nestled right up against the foothills at the base of Pikes Peak, the deep blue skies and the numerous sunny days we have here. We love hiking and the opportunities are endless here. Skiing 2 hours away. What's not to like!?

Why they chose this property

We moved here after many years of living in the mountains at 8500 ft. We were very choosy about the location of where we would live in the Springs. This home was the perfect location for us. So close to many trails and parks which we love to access. There are lots of fun festivals in Manitou Springs and Old Colorado City besides good restaurants and shops. When we need a mountain fix, we can access them easily from here. This neighborhood has old growth trees, and no two houses are the same. This is not a track home! But it is a very scenic special neighborhood.

What makes this property unique

We love the fact that we can walk up the street and be in Garden of the Gods for awesome hikes and views that we never get tired of. Down the street Amada Fonda has a really nice outdoor creekside dining area for drinks and Mexican food. Or visit the shops, penny arcade, and restaurants and bars in funky Manitou Springs. Drive to the top of 14,000 Pikes Peak in the summer. Or take the Cog Railway to the top. The 5 Star Broadmoor Hotel is 20 minutes away. Besides the great hiking in Garden of the Gods, there is Red Rocks only minutes away. Colorado Springs offers nightlife on Tejon Street, 5 miles away. Or just go 2 miles to Colorado Mountain Brewery. White water raft 2 hours away. Olympic Training Center 20 minutes, Royal Gorge Suspension Bridge 1 hr, Cripple Creek Casinos 50 minutes, Air Force Academy 25 minutes. Warm and dry in summer.
