About this property

Honeysuckle Cottage - downtown Manitou Springs

The Honeysuckle Cottage at Agate Hill is a duplex cottage with a covered porch, sitting room, kitchen and 2 bedrooms: 1 King, 2 twins configured as a daybed trundle, 1 bathroom. The kitchen has a nicely equipped kitchen with self-cleaning oven and stove, full sized refrigerator with ice-maker, microwave, double basin sink & coffee maker. Coffee, tea.
All our cottages feature a king sized Select Comfort bed with additional bedrooms with either full or twin beds. Our cottages are cozy with Parlour Gas Log Stoves, air conditioning and kitchens. Our old fashioned bathrooms have original claw-foot tub/showers for soaking tired feet if you hike the Incline or our many trails. We have high speed WiFI, HD TV, DVD players, assorted DVD’s, Chromecast and Hulu Live TV, and a desk.

The Agate Hill Historic District is in downtown Manitou Springs. We are up on the hill so the views are expansive on a on a quiet residential street. We have almost an acre of gardens. Depending on how you count, we are about 6 houses walking distance to the Post Office and downtown. We have 3 cottages on the property and can host 14 people total. Manitou is hilly, so expect steps and stairs. We are a adult oriented property, which means we welcome quiet well supervised older kids; to be honest if you have younger kids, properties that have play areas and pools are more suitable. Our property is drug and smoke free in its entirety.

Manitou Springs located in the foothills of Pikes Peak just 11 miles west of downtown Colorado Springs via US Hwy 24. Explore the many hiking/biking trails by just leaving from the cottage. In just minutes walk to downtown Manitou and find art galleries, clothing, jewelry or specialty shops, small resturants, pubs or night life or our mineral springs. Within walking distance find Spa services at the SunWater Spa, Heritage Museum, Miramont Castle, Manitou Antique Arcade, weekly summer live music, weekend festivals. With in a mile or so the Cog Railway, Cave of the Winds and Cliff Dwellings.

The owner lives on the property and we feature local Manitou art work by Tina and Ken Riesterer. City of Manitou Springs has been named the world's first certified municipal Pollinator District.

Cute cottage in Manitou Springs

We enjoyed our stay at this little cottage. The owner was extremely helpful in check in and helping us get settled. Very short walk to downtown and all the shops and restaurants. It is an older property but has lots of charm. I would recommend this cottage for anyone who wants to enjoy Manitou Springs.

Short Birthday trip

Great trip and weather for hiking. The property was in a great location to walk to all downtown amenities as well as walk to the incline. The house was very clean and comfortable. John was a fantastic host and always made sure you had what you needed.

Comfortable & Charming

We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay in this authentic Victorian duplex cottage in Manitou Springs! The owner, John was friendly, and handled our check in and check out seamlessly. The accommodations were very comfortable. We especially enjoyed evenings on the spacious front porch, and the super convenient location in the historic village of Manitou Springs. We hope to visit again soon.

Base Camp Supreme

This was our base camp HQ for an amazing expedition to the summit of Pikes Peak. It was the perfect location, within walking distance to the Barre Trail. Our host provided us with valuable local insight to our expedition and, after we got back from the summit, we easily walked to the downtown area to enjoy some local fare. My friends and I made memories that I will keep forever. 10/10!

Walk to Downtown

Older cottage but functional. Not for mobile restricted person as there are steps and uneven walkway and a good size hill as it is in Manitou. Cooling unit comes from one bedroom to the entire place so group must be friendly. Clawfoot tub with shower is small but again functional. So if you like charming old places with character close to downtown this is for you. I would stay again.

Cozy cottage

It is an old building with modern conveniences located in a tourist town. The building is sort of duplex style with accommodations next door. Parallel parking on the street on a hill with residential reservations. We never had to search for a parking space. The owner is friendly and knowledgeable about the area. It is only about 3 blocks from downtown Manitou Springs. The bed was comfortable. The location is within east driving distance to many local attractions, including Pike’s Peak and Santa’s Workshop. Cheyenne Mountain Zoo is less than 1/2 hour away.

Honeysuckle Cottage

PROS * Owner, John seems like a nice guy; he’s pretty much invisible * Overall, it’s a charming, private, quiet, and tidy four-room (plus one bath) cottage; carpeted except for kitchen and bath; controllable cooling unit kept the place plenty cool * Great for a couple * Living room: comfy loveseat and rocking chair, small TV with DVD player, and ceiling fan * Kitchen is adequate; microwave, coffee maker, toaster, ice maker CONS * Location: on a steep hill and walk back to the cottage is not easy * Outside: steps up to the front door are too steep for those who may have difficulty navigating stairs, especially descending; steps are not lit at night * Overall, front door key is hard to work (must jiggle just right to get it in/out); must walk through spare bedroom to get to bathroom; evaporative cooler requires the top quarter of the front window to remain open (but screened) * Spare bedroom: this room is where the window evaporative cooler is located, so you have to leave the doors to this room open all the time to cool the whole cottage

Quaint cottage overlooking village of Manitou Springs

Honeysuckle Cottage sits nestled among the Victorian-era homes that line the cozy, narrow streets overlooking the town of Manitou Springs. The owner, John, lives next door with his playful pup. John is warm, welcoming and very knowledgeable about the town and its history. From the cottage, it's a short drive to Garden of the Gods and other area attractions, and an easy walk down to the village shops and restaurants - a little harder hiking back up the hill to the cottage, but relaxing on the porch at the end of the day makes the hike worthwhile! Our stay was very pleasant and, for the most part, comfortable, but there were a couple of unexpected issues for us: First, use of the kitchen was fine for simple breakfast and lunch, but cooking a larger meal would have been challenging due to limited supplies for food preparation. Second, the bathroom is only accessible by going through the second bedroom. For many guests, these would not be problematic at all, but knowing what to expect ahead of time would be helpful. Our primary concern was that, in spite of being charged a cleaning fee, the cottage was not clean. There was an overlooked used towel from a previous guest, a dirty footprint on the bathmat, the kitchen floor was grimy, and the cottage as a whole was in need of a thorough, deep cleaning. That being said, however, if the cleanliness issue was resolved, I would not hesitate to stay at there again and would recommend it to others. Honeysuckle Cottage is full of nostalgic charm, quiet and relaxing, yet convenient to a wide variety of dramatic landscapes, historic sights and exciting attractions.
