Seconds stay
This is my second stay at this property, and I really love the location. It's easy to walk into town and close to my dad's memory care facility, and the neighbors are quiet.
The house is equipped with everything you need, and the beds are comfortable.
My only complaint is that the carpet in the living room was quite dirty. I informed the property manager, and they offered to come and clean it. However, I declined their offer because I didn't want to vacate the property after a long night and day of traveling..

Served Our Purpose
We were helping our daughter look for a house in the Manitou, Colorado Springs area. This house is located in a quiet, centrally located neighborhood and close to Old Colorado City with great shops and restaurants. The bathroom was small but functional with plenty of hot water, and a claw-foot tub. It had the best Keurig coffee maker I have ever seen and we have actually ordered one for ourselves. There were a few minor issues which we provided to the owner who graciously thanked us and implied would be looked into. Overall, it served our purpose well!

Nice stay
Five stars for location, ambiance and the bathtub. :)
The carpet was vacuumed but needs a deep clean (stained/scorched in places).

Great Location/Great Stay
The house was a perfect fit for myself and 3 children. Great location to walk to town. We were able to catch two nights of concerts in the park, 5 minute walk from the house.
House was clean and well stocked.

Great house for my short stays in CS
You really went out of your way to make sure anything one might need was at the house, thank you!!
One suggestion.....put a small self mounted wall mounted shelf on the north wall of the shower, towards the back of the tub, high enough so people that are taking a bath won't hit their head but also so it can easily be used by someone taking a shower. Say an 8" x 4". So people can put their shampoo bottles, etc on it and easily access. I know you had the dispenser of products but I prefer using my own. Thanks again!
