This house is so unique - we loved it! The windows, the landscape, the wildlife - just beautiful. The beds were comfortable. The location was perfect for us, we hiked at Garden of the Gods, and Red Rock Open Space. We loved the downtown area right by the house for dinners and ice cream. Overall just a great experience for my family. Thank you!
The location was perfect. The house was fabulous. We loved every room and all the windows.Was enjoyed by the entire family. Would definitely stay again.
This property was amazing. Gorgeous views outside every window. Excellent location near shops and dining in Manitou Springs. Friendly community. Very close to Manitou Incline and Garden of the Gods. Perfect location for two parents and two teens. One of our best VRBO experiences.
This is the most amazing property! Views for days! Clean and beautiful. Our host was super communicative and accommodating. 10/10 recommend. Would stay there again any chance I get!
Delivered everything promised...a house with a view. 2 of the 3 bedrooms are partially open to the main living area, which was a bit different, but overall, a comfortable stay.
This is our second time staying here. Another perfect stay! This beautiful home is impeccably clean, and the mountain views are stunning. The host was incredibly attentive. Highly recommend! Everything was perfect!
Amazing house and location. We walked into town every day - short easy walk. The view was unparalleled and the neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. I would highly recommend this property if you are visiting Manitou Springs. The house had everything we needed and check-in was smooth. If we ever make it back, I would definitely stay here again.
Magical location close to everywhere. A nice haven to come back and rest when my daughter had altitude sickness. Clean. Pretty. Safe. Only down side: if you are traveling with kids, make sure they each have their own bag or you will go up and down steep stairs a lot. Only one standard bathroom that you could use to shave your legs in. The other ones are tiny and claustrophobic like a tiny dorm. That was a disappointment. The third floor was very hot. But again, even with these set backs, it is a magical place and I am glad we stayed there. Views from kitchen table playing cards were awesome. I could have been done with visiting that area in two nights only. But we were thankful for the ample space to rest when we dealt with altitude sickness. Host was responsive and kind.
Exceptional property. Location is fabulous and close to shopping and restaurants. The entire homes design is an experience in itself and every room has views of the incline and surrounding mountains. The exterior is great to watch deer passing by and enjoy fresh mountain air. We will absolutely book again in the future!Thank you to the host for the hospitality!
What a wonderful weekend - we enjoyed downtown Manitou and loved being close enough to aLao enjoy the Garden of the Gods and the Springs. Kitchen was well equipped and had everything we needed. Beds were comfy! Views are just spectacular and the details in the home were so cool! Definitely recommend!
The view is the highlight of the home! There are picture windows on every floor and in every room. We enjoyed the mountains, the deer, the cat, and the close location to everything. The only small thing was the bathrooms. They are tiny and the water pressure leaves much to be desired. Overall, it was a wonderful stay and we cannot wait to visit again!
This was our second time renting The View House. The view is breathtaking, the house is beautiful and fun, and the owner thinks of every detail. We walked into the town of Manitou Springs and had great meals and fun evenings listening to live music. We love this place and hope to be back again. Thank you!
We celebrated Thanksgiving in this unique property. The views were spectacular with easy access to a walk into town. The beds were comfortable and the unit is well equipped with everything that we needed. The host was easy to work with and very communicative. Can't think of a better way to celebrate the holiday!
The View House speaks for itself. Very clean and cozy home close to all the shopping and great local restaurants. Our family of 5 had plenty of room. The manager and host were very helpful and accommodating. You will not be disappointed!
This is a lovely home with beautiful mountain views. Kitchen is well stocked. Deer come and visit the patio almost every morning. Great service, very clean, extra paper towels and trash bags available. They even shoveled the snow off of the sidewalks and driveway while we were there. Thanks for a great trip!
We had a great stay here. So much so that we extended our stay several times. The property is beautiful and has amazing mountain views. The owner was very kind and responsive. We hope to return.
This is our second time staying in this home. It has the most amazing views of Pikes Peak and the mountains. Every bedroom has a lovely view. It has a well stocked kitchen, lovely outdoor patio space, and plenty of living and dinning room space for our whole family. We cant wait to stay here again on our next visit to Colorado.
We had an amazing time during our stay! The house was spacious, clean, and had everything we needed to feel comfortable. The location was perfect, offering a quiet and peaceful setting while still being close to local attractions and restaurants. The host was very responsive and provided great recommendations for nearby activities. Our family truly enjoyed the experience, and we would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. We can’t wait to come back.
We came to visit my brother in Colorado Springs and I’m so happy we decided to stay here. The views were amazing and the house was really cool. The layout was a little different but it was still very nice.
We loved the views from the house and our overall stay was amazing. We had a great family vacation and the house was clean, beautiful and unique and easy to check in and out of. A great experience!
