Where do we even begin? As a travel RN, finding housing can be a very stressful process. My husband and I happened to stumble upon this listing, and boy are we glad we did! From the moment we walked in, we felt the comforts of home. This gorgeous guest house has every amenity you might need. A few of our favorite features are, the screened in porch as you walk up the front stairs. Imagine sitting in the living room with the fresh summer breeze filtering through, as the main entrance doors remain wide open. Another favorite is the bedrooms bay window - snuggle up on a rainy afternoon with a good book, a slice of heaven to say the least. I could go on forever, but lastly, my husband and I cannot get enough of the spacious back deck. We spend countless nights staring up at the stars or enjoying friendly visits from wildlife. Manitou is such a quaint town - make sure you take the trail through the woods, a short walk to all your dining and shopping needs. Not only will you feel safe and secure in this beautiful space, but your landlords will be the true gem. Ray and Rayetta are the most wonderful people. Privacy is never an issue and you will always be greeted with upmost genuineness. Let me make note that if we could stay forever, we would. Our stay here has been a stay that my husband and I will never forget!

Great, beautiful luxurious guest house in fabulous location! Home is thoroughly comfortable, super energy efficient and nicely laid out, with plenty of room. Large porch (with top quality grill) with views of the "famous of famous" Parks. Home is decorated down to a tee, with very tasteful furnishings, has absolutely anything you would need to feel right at home. High speed wireless internet works so well and so fast, and home even has Direct TV and internet TVs included. (flatscreen TV in living room and bedroom) Ray and Rayetta are the best landlords I have ever had--kind and empathetic, respectful of the tenants privacy and all-out great Americans. Manitou Springs is a quaint historic town, outstanding for site-seeing, hiking, walking and boasting of a guaranteed culinary experience you won't forget. Perfect for those who also like the outdoors. Great bike trails are right in front of the house, very flat for ease of biking and lead to Old Colorado Springs and to the Santa Fe bike trail. Another major trail leads up the mountain called Rampart Ridge trail. A third biking possibility but not the last is a loop around "the park" itself. Tennis courts are also a few hundred meters away next to a free shuttle stop. Many many hiking possibilities... too many to mention! Guest house is literally within walking distance and adjacent to world's famous Garden of the Gods park. Great for evening walks. I wish that I could have stayed longer and not just here on six month temporary assignment. Next time I come to this area I would definitely desire to stay here again. I'll always have good memories of my stay here.

Our son in the military and his wife rented this beautiful apartment. Wow. This is a first class all-amenities included luxury facility. We visited them many times, and each time we tremendously enjoyed the comfort and the unique features of this beautifully constructed and appointed apartment. Our son and his wife simply loved living there. He would mention that after spending 12 hour days working at Ft. Carson, that returning to this executive-style living arrangement was a wonderful comfort. He no longer rents this apartment because he is serving a deployment in Afghanistan, but he and his wife comment wistfully about the beauty, not only of the apartment itself, but of it's incredible location. The views are simply glorious. The landlords are kind and were more than accommodating, and even after the rental period, we are pleased to call them dear friends. My wife and I would highly recommend this unique and beautiful living situation to anyone who wants an out-of-the-ordinary experience. For our family, renting this space has been unforgettable
