This was the perfect place to stay for our 5 day trip to Manitou Springs and the surrounding area. Location was perfect ... walking distance to Garden of the Gods, and close to downtown and all amenities we needed. The house was clean and super comfortable and Debbie and Luke were gracious hosts! Lots of wildlife and we were even greeted by 2 deer in the driveway when we came back from dinner one night. Great place!
Best honeymoon ever! The hot tub was perfect and our little chihuahua had a great back yard to chase squirrels. The Sunlight in the room was amazing, but if you like to sleep in bring a sleeping mask lol The kitchenette had everything we needed. Thanks yall!
Amazing little spot for a nice get away. The area is beautiful. The place is quite a hidden jewel. Quiet and away . The owners are very nice people and beautiful musicians. I will be going back. Thanks again.
It was a very clean, cute place. The main problem was the AC didn’t reach upstairs very well. We had the windows and blinds closed as instructed, but that didn’t help much. Be aware of this in the summer. We visited in May. It would have been much more comfortable with an AC unit upstairs as it said on the listing.

We are sorry it got too warm for you. We were on a road trip during your stay and could have alleviated the problem had we been there. When we left, the forecast was for snow and overnight freezes. Usually in May, the AC is seldom needed. We have a portable AC we put upstairs for the summer that keeps the space nice and cool. May need to set it up earlier in the year now because of climate change.
We truly enjoyed staying at you quaint, comfortable rental. It was half a block from the Garden of The Gods and close to all the attractions we wanted to see.

What a lovely, well equipped, clean, very pet friendly home. We enjoyed the easy access to Garden of the Gods and seeing a variety of wildlife. This was a perfect spot for our vacation. Hosts Luke and Debbie are very communicative and helpful.
The home was well appointed and had everything I needed. The private backyard, hot tub and short walking distance to trails and restaurants made this place a standout! I would definitely stay here again.
Very clean and full of beautiful plants (8inside and out!), super convenient to Manitou Springs and Colorado Springs. We had a great time being able to just walk to Garden of the Gods. And the hosts are super nice
The accommodations were perfect!The location could not be any better for access to Garden of the Gods and other attractions in the area. The hosts were wonderful!
Wonderful stay!I had such a lovely time at this rental. The place itself was adorable, clean, and cozy, with thoughtful touches that made it feel welcoming the moment I walked in. The owners were incredibly kind and responsive, which made the whole experience even better.It was the perfect quiet retreat, and I felt safe, comfortable, and well taken care of during my stay. I would absolutely come back again and recommend it to anyone looking for a charming place to relax.
Couldn't have picked a better home that was centrally located to everything we had planned for the week. The home and owners were wonderful. It was exactly what we hoped for.

About the host
Hosted by Debbie and Luke Ellington
We moved to Colorado after marrying over 40 years ago. We have always enjoyed awesome mountain setting nestled right up against the foothills at the base of Pikes Peak, the deep blue skies and the numerous sunny days we have here. We love hiking and the opportunities are endless here. Skiing 2 hours away. What's not to like!?
Why they chose this property
We moved here after many years of living in the mountains at 8500 ft. We were very choosy about the location of where we would live in the Springs. This home was the perfect location for us. So close to many trails and parks which we love to access. There are lots of fun festivals in Manitou Springs and Old Colorado City besides good restaurants and shops. When we need a mountain fix, we can access them easily from here. This neighborhood has old growth trees, and no two houses are the same. This is not a track home! But it is a very scenic special neighborhood.
What makes this property unique
We love the fact that we can walk up the street and be in Garden of the Gods for awesome hikes and views that we never get tired of. Down the street Amada Fonda has a really nice outdoor creekside dining area for drinks and Mexican food. Or visit the shops, penny arcade, and restaurants and bars in funky Manitou Springs. Drive to the top of 14,000 Pikes Peak in the summer. Or take the Cog Railway to the top. The 5 Star Broadmoor Hotel is 20 minutes away. Besides the great hiking in Garden of the Gods, there is Red Rocks only minutes away. Colorado Springs offers nightlife on Tejon Street, 5 miles away. Or just go 2 miles to Colorado Mountain Brewery. White water raft 2 hours away. Olympic Training Center 20 minutes, Royal Gorge Suspension Bridge 1 hr, Cripple Creek Casinos 50 minutes, Air Force Academy 25 minutes. Warm and dry in summer.
