Built in 1909, this classic cottage overlooking historic, unique Manitou Springs at the base of Pikes Peak, “America’s Mountain,” is a jewel of a short-term rental — the place you’ve been hoping to find to complete a perfect vacation or short-term stay. Experience shopping, restaurants, galleries, bars, and eight mineral drinking springs, each with its own mineral flavors and effervescence. For the adventurer, explore some of the best, most impressive, and renowned hiking trails in the area, including “the Manitou Incline” — this home promises memories, whimsy, and an authentic Colorado experience. Manitou Springs is known for its location at the base of Pikes Peak, some steep hillsides within a box canyon. Surrounded by an original historic greenstone wall across the front, this home offers excellent appeal and off-street parking, too! A private driveway is on the side of the home for your convenience. To enter the house at the side entrance, walk past the charming, classic front porch inviting some time to watch the world below with a cup of coffee or a local Colorado craft beer or cocktail. Entering the home, you’ll be presented with a bright, warm, and welcoming space that embraces its classic roots while inviting modern practicalities. The design is simple, with all the rooms radiating outward from the living room. This central space is perfect for serious relaxation or even an afternoon nap after the day’s adventures. There’s a dining table here with seating for four, and just off the living room is the stylish, functional kitchen featuring quality cabinetry, a new stainless-steel refrigerator, gas stove, dishwasher, and a classic tin ceiling. As you finish your culinary creations, you’ll be able to gaze out the window above the sink to the mountains across Ute Pass and just beyond the tips of the red rocks of Garden of the Gods. Bed Configuration: Main Bedroom - King Bed Living Room - Sofa Bed The single bedroom is just off the living room beyond French doors.
