Next to the Spa building, is one of the last remaining penny arcades in the country which offers much entertainment for kids and adults alike. Downtown Manitou has a variety of interesting shops, eating, and drinking establishments.

Quaint Manitou Springs

Great location and true to pics! Clean, convenient and ample room. Our only complaint was the super soft mattress. With bad backs, the mattress was too soft and it was two twins pushed together so you fall in the crack. Didn’t have a really good night sleep while there.

Best anniversary getaway

I coordinated our trip to Colorado Springs this year for our anniversary. My wife was reluctant at first because she’s usually the beach type. This was a 1000/10 nailed it on the head getaway to probably one of the coolest properties in one of the coolest places I’ve ever stayed and will make it a point to try and book every year from here on out. The unit over looks the bustling downtown manitou, where I felt more like returning to a childhood home than going on some vacation.We had a blast and that is likely an understatement.10/10 will book again!

Extraordinary Value

I don't like writing reviews. I'll make an exception here. This place is unique - beautifully decorated, centrally located, private access to a beautiful rooftop view to Main Street. I absolutely loved it. Walkable to Incline and Barr Trail, walkable to all cool restaurants. I would love to stay again. Thank you to my hosts - I used the time and place to start my book. This loft will be a character. Christian

Colorado Getaway

Spent 5 nights in Manitou Springs and this unit was great. Centrally located in the middle of everything. The outdoor terrace was great for relaxing after a rough day hiking or after enjoying the shopping. The Property Manager was great responding to my needs, usually within minutes. I would definitely stay here again if I was to return to the area. Highly Recommend!

In the heart of Manitou Springs

The property was very nice, clean and comfortable. The location is in the heart of Manitou Springs. I would stay again. We had some trouble on check in due to a bad code, but the owner/manager was able to get us in eventually.

Great stay in downtown Manitou

This is such a great rental, in the heart of Manitou. Lots of shops and restaurants in close walking distance. The loft is large and has a great kitchen. Everything was perfect and if communication was needed, it was immediate. I could not recommend this loft enough and the locals were all great.

Great spot within walking distance of the entire town of Manitou Springs and a much appreciated assigned parking space in a locked and covered garage. Very spacious inside with large kitchen/dining/living loft space and massive bathroom. The patio was great in the evenings to relax.The river was running high during our stay, and we really enjoyed the sound of the rushing water just outside the windows.Check-in was relatively straightforward, although be aware that some of the listing’s documentation still references the old key lockbox, which is no longer used in lieu of electronic keypads/keycodes. The loft was extremely musty smelling upon arrival, but the weather cooperated with us to open all the windows and it dissipated by the evening of our first night.

Historic District

3rd floor condo in historic bath house was cozy and convenient. We were a bit annoyed by the lock boxes and key fob problems but our stay was otherwise relaxing and fun. Secure private parking behind chain gate, good food all around, and a short 30-minute trip to the airport made our week fly by. Clean room to boot. We will be back!

Best place ever !!

4 of us stayed here for six nights in May. Let me tell you this is by far the best place we have stayed at on all of the vacations we have taken. The loft was immaculate had every single thing you could possibly imagine, it was literally like Having a home away from home. The loft is 100% equipped and very comfortable. The caretaker at the time forgive me I can’t remember his name, but he was absolutely amazing. If we had any questions, I don’t care what time it was, He responded within seconds to a couple minutes after I sent the text. All instructions were extremely accurate. The garage space where you park your car was extremely secure. We had a ton of luggage because this was the end of a three week trip. Pulled up at the front unloaded and took everything up the elevator then went back and parked. This unit was extremely quiet and has the only direct access to the shared balcony directly off the living room, other units have to access a door from the hallway. Only saw one neighbor one time on the balcony the entire time we were there. The view is gorgeous, just absolutely outstanding. You are right above the downtown strip and the view of the mountains is spectacular. There’s a restaurant called the border burger bar directly downstairs which has great food you can even order drinks to go and bring them upstairs, the Penny Arcade is right next door. I absolutely cannot recommend this place enough. Will definitely stay here again!!!!
