Nice, cozy, old house with some upgrades. Great location. However, the house only has one bathroom. One. The basement reflects the age of the house as well.

Our stay was great. The location was amazing and we were able to walk into Old Colorado Springs for food and drinks. Close to downtown Colorado Springs and the mountains. Quick drive to Manitou Springs and Pike’s Peak.Was great for us and our adult children. If there were any improvements needed to this house, they were minor. The water pressure was not great and the one bathroom only has clawfoot bathtub with circular shower curtain which main showering less than ideal.Definitely recommend!

Family get away

Wildflower cottage is a cute as it sounds! The home was spacious, spotless, and had all the little comforts of home. The driveway is huge— we were able to easily park a 40ft motor home and car side by side. It is walkable to downtown Old Colorado City and a very short drive to Garden of Gods and close to Pike’s peak. We personally found Manitou Springs to have more shopping and activity options which is why we gave location 4 vs 5 stars. Otherwise great host and great place!!

A Great Stay

We had a wonderful stay! The cottage is as pictured, clean, comfortable, and located within walking distance to all the wonderful restaurants and shops in Old Colorado City. We loved sitting on the front porch and our little dog enjoyed the front yard. The host is responsive and check-in/out was easy. Thanks!

Perfect little cottage

Traveling with one pet, who loves squirrels. Enough space to gather for Christmas with our daughters. Two of the three beds were super comfortable,and we had everything there to prepare a prime rib Christmas dinner. Loved the location as there was a trail close by for walking, shopping and convience store. Super grateful to our hosts and we will be back!

Perfect house for our CO trip

Rene has a darling cottage in a nice location for touring Old Colorado City, Garden of the Gods, downtown Colorado Springs, and the many sites in the area. The home is comfortable and had all we needed for a nice week. Several grocery stores, restaurants, breweries in the area. The yard is large and fenced. It will be very pleasant to use in warm weather. We appreciated that we had the entire house, no sharing with owner or other renters. We will plan to stay here again when visiting family and touring.

Wonderful place.

We spent a quick 4 day 3 night stay in the property and found it to be everything that it was listed to be. It’s a quaint old house that has been modernly renovated. The house was very clean both inside and outside. It’s location was amazing as it gave us easy access to all major attractions and a local grocery store. Great neighborhood and great property. I would come again the next time I am in town.

Great Location

Great location, close to downtown Manitou, Old Colorado City and sights. Host was quick to respond with any questions. Cute and cozy home that was clean and decorated real cute. We did not use the basement as it was kinda creepy. The main floor had plenty of room and everything we needed and allowed us to bring our dogs. Would visit again.

Amazing location!

The location was absolutely spot on - I could not get over how much we liked where we stayed. We all loved how easy it was to get around from downtown Colorado to Manitou Springs. Old Colorado City was a lovely walk away. We brought our furry babies with and they loved the stay. There is a small picket fence in the front but was a bit low for our big doggos. In pictures we saw the surrounding high wooden fence but it doesn't close off so keep that in mind. There are numerous places to take your doga for a walk or run, so they didn't mind being indoors as they got plenty of activity with us outside. It was my brother's first time in the states and he fell in love with Colorado Springs and the house definitely helped make a great impression. We would definitely stay again.

LOVE THIS PROPERTY

The home was just as it was described in the ad listing. There were so many extra touches that made you feel right at home. Each of the bedrooms had a cute basket with towels and not just a few but extras! There were extra pillows in the closet and I am a pillow nut and I sleep with 5 pillows and I didn't use all the extra ones either. Coffee bar was stocked and the bathroom included a jar of cotton balls and Q-tips along with make up wipes and such. Those items may sound small but they made a big impression on me with the details that Rene added. I spoke to Rene a couple of times and each time she was pleasant and helpful. My only regret, we didn't book a longer stay!!! The location is great for the activities near by; Pikes Peak, 7 Falls, shopping in Manitou Springs and Old Colorado City, the zoo, and grocery needs as well. I highly recommend this property!!!!
