Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms: one with an en suite shower, a second with an en suite full bathroom, and a third with access to a shared full bathroom featuring an amazing skylight.

Note: this home is historic so the hardwood floors are creaky in spots, despite soft area rugs in all rooms. House rules say "shoes off" at the door. There are footwear cubbies and slippers at the main and upper entries.

• Manitou Incline & Barr Trail: 15-minute walk

Guest access
Driveway parking (1 space) by the main entry and upper lot parking (2 spots) are both large enough to accommodate trucks and SUVs, but the upper lot's gravel driveway and parking spaces are tight. Ingress and egress require some care. Ask the owner about a free residential street parking pass if you are uncomfortable with the idea of upper lot parking and/or need more space for a large vehicle or a trailer.

Guests have exclusive access to the entire main house, back porch (up to the high fence), front porch, and grounds between the upper entry and the circular gravel drive.

Entry is designed for your convenience, with a flat,
stair-free path from the front concrete driveway parking space directly to the front door.

Home entry from the gravel upper parking drive and lot area is easy, with just three steps up to the covered entryway.

There is a King Bedroom on the first floor with a shower, a shared first-floor bathroom, and a half-step up entry from the back patio (flafstone and pavers).

There are three Bedrooms upstairs, one en suite with a shower stall, one en suite with a full bathtub/shower combo, and one with a shared full bath/shower combo and a skylight.

Neighborhood highlights

The Inn House 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 historic 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 Circle with the locals at Memorial park every Thursday from 6-9 p.m. between May and early October.

Reserve some time at Sunwater Spa across from 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! WE OFFER TURKISH SPA TOWELS and Cotton ROBES complimentary to our guests for the SPA as the Spa does not offer towel/robes.
