The Garden House, Whole Home in Downtown Manitou Springs

The Garden House is an entire private home in downtown Manitou Springs, Colorado, next to the Fountain Creek Inn. Three bedrooms sleep six: a king, a king plus twin, and a queen, with a full bathroom (double vanity and walk-in shower) and a half bath. The home is full of character, with a stacked-stone fireplace, wood-plank ceilings, and a butcher-block kitchen stocked with a refrigerator, dishwasher, toaster oven, and K-cup coffee. Out back, flower beds and a hand-painted garden mural surround a deck that seats six. Free WiFi and a smart TV with Chromecast and Roku. Keyless self check-in from 3:00 PM with a smart lock. Walk to downtown cafes and shops, or take the free Route 33 shuttle to the Manitou Incline, Barr Trail, and the Pikes Peak Cog Railway. Garden of the Gods and Old Colorado City are a short drive. Parking is in the large shared lot. This is an older building in a lively town: quiet hours run 10 PM to 8 AM and earplugs are stocked.
