The heart of the home is a bright and welcoming living room, where natural light fills the space and vintage details highlight its historic character. A comfortable sofa invites you to unwind after a day of exploring, while the 55-inch Smart TV with Wi-Fi, Netflix, and YouTube makes evenings cozy and connected. Just beyond, the updated kitchenette is thoughtfully designed with stainless steel appliances, farmhouse-style cabinetry, and everything you need to prepare meals. Start your mornings at the eat-in nook with a fresh cup of coffee before heading out to nearby parks and trails.
Sleeping Arrangements
Two serene bedrooms provide restful retreats, each with a queen-size memory foam mattress, premium linens, and plenty of natural light. Room-darkening shades and extra blankets ensure restful sleep at any time of day. Whether you’re traveling with friends, family, or as a couple, the layout offers comfort and privacy for all.
Bathroom
The bathroom carries the home’s Victorian character with its clawfoot tub and shower combination, complemented by a freestanding vanity and decorative mirror. After a hike through Garden of the Gods or a day in nearby Manitou Springs, soak in a hot bath to ease tired muscles. Towels, shampoo, conditioner, and soap are provided for your convenience.
Outdoor Living
Step outside to a shared, fenced yard where you can relax under the open sky or let your dog enjoy some fresh air.
