Oh my goodness I am so embarrassed. The cleaner left our camping toilet paper in the bathroom instead of the toilet paper we usually leave. It is meant to dissolve quickly in the camper toilet that is why it is so thin! So sorry about that!

What a beautiful place to unwind. You enjoy the hottub and a beautiful peak of Pikes Peak and then you go enjoy the firepit and have an amazing view of the skyline. Also enjoyed all the wildlife. A momma deer and her 3 babies just strolling through. Owls, just beautiful. The host Steve and Ann are such awesome people. You won't be disappointed. They keep the property in such beautiful conditions. The landscape as you are enjoying the hottub are second to none.

The views of the mountains and valley are incredible. Loved the hot tub and outdoor seating areas to include the firepit. The unit was clean and very comfortable. We enjoyed the coffee bar. Owner was very accommodating, responsive, and available. When the water pitcher needed a new filter, I contacted the owner and he brought a new one quickly. Steve also responded to all my communications within minutes and he was very helpful. The owners are a lovely couple and we would definitely stay there again.

The establishment was clean, efficient, and very welcoming, and your response to any questions was always timely.The rooms are open and spacious, and the beds are so comfortable that it is hard to get out of them. The living room is also very welcoming and comfortable. The hot tub is a big plus for relaxing and unwinding, and the location is great, as it is close to many fun spots. We really enjoyed visiting Manitou Springs—the shops are wonderful and the art is beautiful. Crepes Amara is a good place to have breakfast and dinner The Brit Pub. The only recommendation I have for future guests is to check the weather forecast daily.This is a great place for a staycation!

This apartment was gorgeous on the inside and offered amazing mountain views on the outside. Amenities galore for a very reasonable price! We did not use the hot tub, but it was nice, clean, and would be very relaxing on a quiet evening. The beds were all very comfortable. Everyone slept well each night. The location of this property is amazing. The neighborhood is very nice and quiet. We were relatively close to all of the locations we visited. Steve was a wonderful, friendly host and we enjoyed our visits with him. We would definitely stay here again if we visit. Thank you!

There's is only great to say about this immaculate, roomy 3 bedroom!! The view is beautiful, and only enhanced my time hiking during the day to return, shower in the lovely bathroom, and eat dinner out by the firepit. A soak in the outdoor hottub for the muscles, and ready for the next day! BEAUTIFUL wildlife, even hummingbirds . Super roomy, clean, well equipped. The owners are great, and I would absolutely stay here again and again as I return to the area.
