Hoste in Manitou Springs, Colorado

“Breathtaking views. Walkable downtown.”

“Beautiful place, but mess of an Airbnb. Host was rude, often unresponsive and tried to charge extra fees (Trash can was overflowing when we arrived; they tried to charge a fee and took a week to remove it). Broken lamp & drawers, no hangers, terribly stocked kitchen, spilled oil in a drawer, cheap hot plate instead of stove, cheap toilet paper & cost-cutting every way they can. “Weekly hot tub maintenance” & “weekly trash take down” do not exist- but you pay for it and haul your own trash! Downstairs bedrooms smaller than pictured & gross; broken window shade, reeked of sewage & broken toilet. Water was off for days & then ran dirty. 1 week of daily requests and involvement of Airbnb Support Team to get any action. Host withheld our mail until Airbnb fixed the situation! Sauna is nice & we enjoyed it, though dirty towels on the floor when we arrived. We loved being in Manitou; views/yard are fantastic & great walkability. Host was rude & difficult - we left early bcs it was so bad.”

“The overall setting and experience with the host was very good for this property. The views and walkability to Manitou were fantastic. There are a few things that I wish I would've known prior to booking, however. There is not AC throughout the house - which was an issue as we stayed for 4 weeks in the dead of summer. There were small window units that did not keep up with cooling the home when temperatures were in the mid 90's. Also, there is no stove, only a small 2 "burner" induction plate which really struggled to heat and cook the food, especially at elevation. Some positives were the ability to have our dogs safely stay in the fenced yard, the sauna and hot tub amenities, and the staggering sunsets over Pike's Peak. All in all, a good place to stay, as long as you know the pro's and the con's.”

“Excellent home! Loved being on top of the hill with awesome views all around. Getting to the place is a little bit tricky especially when it’s dark, but we got the hang of it, Plus instructions to getting to the house is very specific. Our only concern is there are only 2 full bathrooms. No problems if the occupants are all related, it becomes a bit awkward when you are not. Still we managed. Loved, loved this home. Love its accessibility to major tourist sites and hiking trails. Did I mention our host was excellent as well? Responds to our queries immediately.. We highly recommend this place.”

“I spent over a month in this home with my college kids and dog. The sunrises over the mountains were an absolute highlight, and it was clear that this house is one of a kind! Such a breathtaking and welcoming space. That said, I’d like to note for future winter travelers that the entire road, driveway/hill leading to the property can be tricky in snowy or icy conditions. It’s a steep incline, and during my visit, I found it safer to hire a plow to ensure some clear access. This was an easy fix and well worth it to enjoy such a beautiful and serene location! Overall, I highly recommend this Airbnb. The management company was communicative, and the area itself was stunning—especially with the snow creating a picturesque winter wonderland. Thank you!”
