Accessibility and Availability
Neighborhood
The cottage is located in the heart of Manitou Springs' charming historic district, seconds' walk to coffee houses, restaurants, specialty shops, galleries, mineral springs, and local trails, including Red Mountain, Iron Mountain, Barr, and Ute Pass Trail, Rainbow Falls, Williams Canyon, and the Manitou Incline. The neighborhood is safe, convenient, and distinctively mountain-urban, with an eclectic mix of Victorian, Arts and Crafts, and more modern era homes. People watch and hit novelty shops, rent an e-bike downtown and cycle to the Garden of the Gods or Red Rock Canyon Park, where you can marvel at incredible red rock formations or drive up the nearby highway to the summit of America's Mountain, Pike's Peak. Play drums, hoop ,dance, picnic or just vibe at the bohemian-style Drum Cricle with the locals at Memorial park every Thursday from 6-9 p.m. between May and early October. Or reserve some time at Sunwater Spa by 7-minute Spring to soak in heated mineral water tubs, get a treatment, luxuriate in the sauna or take a yoga class. It's all here!
Guest Access
You'll have the cottage house to yourself, with your own private off-street parking a few feet from the cottage. Come and go as you please via the stone steps to the parking area , head down the street to Manitou Avenue, or take an invigorating walk through the charming neighborhoods lining the foothills of Manitou Springs.
Location
Manitou Springs, CO, United States
Walking remains the easiest and healthiest form of transport in the town, and most of what one needs is readily accessible by foot. A free shuttle operates on a 20-minute cycle for in-town transport from Memorial Day through Labor Day, and will take one to and from Eastern Manitou Springs and the Cog Railway, the Manitou Incline and Barr Trail Head on Ruxton Avenue in Southwestern Manitou. Rickshaw and e-bike options are also available. Manitou Springs no longer hosts the trolley that long ago took people from Colorado Springs and neighboring Old Colorado City to and from Manitou, but one can take the same journey using the #3 bus which features stops in several locations along Manitou Avenue. You can also jump on a City Bus in town and take it through Old Colorado City to downtown Colorado Springs and beyond.
