About

Climb the Incline in the morning; by evening you'll be glad you booked the Suite. A real living room to collapse into, a kitchenette for slow breakfasts in the corner nook, and a queen bedroom behind its own wall so someone can sleep in while the coffee brews. Kids take the futon; trail maps take the table. Downtown Manitou is a short walk for dinner, the creek runs past your quiet corner, and the inn's highest-rated room does the rest.

Good to know

The Suite is the one room at the inn built for spreading out, and it holds the highest rating on the property. You get a real layout, not just a room: a queen bedroom behind its own wall, a separate living room with a full-size futon (a true futon that folds flat, not a pull-out sofa), and a kitchenette with a sink, microwave, mini fridge with freezer, dishes and silverware, and a Keurig. The corner breakfast nook gets named in reviews; it's where trail maps get argued over and second coffees happen. A 43-inch TV with Chromecast and Roku, extra pillows and blankets, room-darkening shades, and fast WiFi round it out. Sleeps 4. The Suite sits upstairs at the inn, reached by exterior stairs, tucked toward the quiet corner of the property near the creek. The room is turned over by a professional cleaning crew and all linens are commercially laundered between stays. Hikers love this one: kitchenette breakfast before the Incline, downtown dinner on the walk home, and space to actually unpack. Families fit comfortably with kids on the futon. If two people want room to breathe, this is the upgrade that's worth it.

Other Details to Note

A few things worth knowing before you book. Sleeping for guests three and four is a full-size futon in the living room: a real futon that folds flat, comfortable for kids and easygoing adults. If everyone in your group wants a bedroom door, the Garden House is the better fit. The Suite is reached by exterior stairs; there's no elevator. This is an older building near the heart of a lively little town, so you'll catch some town and creek sounds, especially in summer. We're a self-serve inn, so there's no breakfast service; your kitchenette has a Keurig, and downtown's cafes are a few minutes' walk. No pets in the Suite; our pet-friendly rooms are #103 and #105.

House Rules

We keep the rules short and we mean them. Check-in is anytime after 3 PM; check-out is by 10 AM. The Suite sleeps 4; registered guests only. No parties or events. Quiet hours are 10 PM to 8 AM. Neighbors are close; thanks for keeping the volume in mind. No smoking of any kind inside the Suite: cigarettes, vaping, or marijuana. Evidence of indoor smoking means added cleaning charges. No pets in the Suite. Our pet-friendly rooms are #103 and #105. Please use the dumpsters in the parking lot for trash. If something breaks or goes wrong, message us right away. Honest accidents happen; telling us first always goes better than us finding it later.

Accessibility

Neighborhood

Manitou Springs is a small mountain town that still feels like one: a walkable main street of cafes, galleries, breweries, and patios, with free mineral springs scattered through downtown for anyone carrying a cup. The inn sits at the quiet end of Manitou Avenue, far enough from the center that nights stay calm, close enough that dinner is a few minutes' walk along the creek. Evenings here are simple: stroll in for green chile and a local beer, taste a spring or two on the way back, and let the town empty out behind you. Days reach far without much driving. The Manitou Incline and Barr Trail, the two big climbs toward Pikes Peak, start about 5 minutes away by car, and the Cog Railway leaves from the same side of town for the summit. Garden of the Gods is about 6 minutes, Cave of the Winds about 5, and the historic Cliff Dwellings about 4. Morning on a mountain, evening on the avenue, and the car barely has to work for any of it.

Guest Access

Here's how the inn works, and it's our favorite part: there is no front desk. Your door code arrives before check-in, and whether you pull in at 4 PM or 1 AM, it works exactly the same. No office hours, no key pickup, no waiting behind anyone. When you do need something, a real person answers messages fast; quick, helpful communication is the thing our hosting record is built on. A few specifics so arrival is effortless: Parking is free and on site. Park below, then take the exterior stairs up to your room; there's no elevator. Your room has its own electronic deadbolt with a keypad. The code is unique to your stay and arrives with your check-in details. One note so you head to the right door: the Garden House at the front of the property is a separate private vacation rental, not a check-in office. There's no office anywhere at the inn. Your door code is your check-in, so go straight to your room number. The side yard and the creekside grounds are open to all inn guests. There's no guest laundry at the inn, but a laundromat is nearby in town. Dumpsters for trash are in the parking lot.

The location was tucked away and by the creek so it was peaceful and mountian views to boot. The room was open and cozy and I would definitely stay again Nothing the staff was amazing 👏

We stayed in the suite room and it was very comfortable and spacious. We had a lot of baggage so the smaller rooms would have been a tight squeeze for us. It’s very clean too. The corner cubby table was better than eating snacks on a bed in a hotel room as well. And we liked having a sofa in a living room. The location was great as we could easily walk to everywhere in the town like restaurants, bars, the penny arcade etc. It was also a short drive to other sights in the area. Nothing wrong with the stay. A roll of paper towels would have been nice but not a big deal.

Great location. Our family live nearby and we were walking distance to them and town. Comfortable and clean. Staff very polite and responsive to messages. Heating unit was very loud. All contact with staff was via email/message - no actual interaction/check in.

Lovely clean rooms and amazing location being able to walk to the shops and restaurants A table and chairs by the creek would be nice to sit and enjoy the location.

No breakfast provided - room had kitchenette which we used for drinks and snacks. Minor suggestion, but the "daylight" mode light bulbs are always harsh / glaring. Softer white / LED bulbs are a nice option.

This was perfect! It was clean and had all the amenities we needed. It was decorated so cute with the blue keurig, fishy design dinnerware, and the thoughtful ear plugs. Nothing!

Find us

Getting here is easy and getting around is easier. Parking is free at the property, and from your door, downtown Manitou is about a 5-minute walk along the avenue. For the big days: the Manitou Incline, Barr Trail, and the Cog Railway are about 5 minutes away by car, the historic Cliff Dwellings about 4, Cave of the Winds about 5, and Garden of the Gods about 6. Two local tips worth knowing. The Incline requires a free timed reservation, and slots open weeks in advance, so book your climb before your trip. And Manitou runs a free shuttle (Route 33) along Manitou Avenue daily, year-round, linking downtown with the Incline, Barr Trail, and the Cog Railway; parking near the trailheads is limited and paid, so the shuttle is the move on busy mornings.
