Another wonderful stay!!

This was our seventh visit to the Colorful Bungalow. It is a cozy one bedroom that has lots of space! The short walk to The Garden of the Gods is a big attraction, along with a breathtaking view of Pikes Peak from the front deck. The house is well appointed with all the necessities! It is a dog friendly place with lots to offer.

Manitou Springs stay

We stayed at this lovely rental in November 2024. It’s a lovely, quaint cottage in the perfect location for all of the things we wanted to do in the area. The personal touches in the rental made it very cozy and comfortable. We hope to return to the area again and hope to stay here. Thank you for your hospitality.

2nd stay

The house and property are much as we remembered. We stayed for several days in 2021. Unfortunately, we both developed back issues after making the reservation. We were unable to do as much out and about as we had intended, so we spent more time at the house. We noticed differences from last time, such as new flooring where before there had been carpet and fewer books on the shelf. Unfortunately, at our age, we probably won't revisit Manitou Springs, especially on a fall weekend. The house is a pleasure, and we recommend it to anyone who can navigate the many stairs.

Lovely home

We absolutely love this cute little house. The outside sitting area just as beautiful as the inside. We loved the view of Pikes Peak and the Manitou incline. Both of which we did. The kitchen was fully furnished with everything needed for cooking meals. Thanks for sharing your home with us.

Enjoyable stay

Cute place. I agree with all of the positive reviews except for: 1) The floor was a bit dirty with dog hair and so on. 2) The toilet area was a really tight fit. 3) Although the location was very convenient and beautiful, the homeless problem was quite significant in the area. No problem for me, but I could see how it could be a turnoff for some people. 4) Some maintenance is needed for the fridge and the garden wall behind the porch. Overall it was still a good value for me, but some improvement would make it even better.

This is our second time at this cute Bungalow. Property is as described. Location is wonderful! We saw deer every night. Nice park with pickleball and tennis within walking distance. We really enjoyed the Cheyenne mountain zoo, Garden of the Gods and walking the shops of Manitou Springs.

Cozy and Comfortable

This little bungalow was colorful, cozy, and comfortable. The several steps were narrow, but no trouble for us and accurately advertised. We passed by the place the first time because it is kind of tucked back. The driveway is short, but it was fine for our little rental car. A short drive to Garden of the Gods, downtown Manitou Springs, and Colorado Springs. The deck was great for sitting outside and enjoying the mountain view. It was fun seeing the kids playing on the soccer field across the street too. Everything was well-labeled in the house with great directions. Plenty of towels and toiletries and everything we needed.

Great Location!

We stayed at this fun, cozy cottage for 3 days. It was a great location to visit the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo & Garden of the Gods(around the corner). Loved enjoying the view of the beautiful snow covered Pike’s Peak & red rock in the yard out of the kitchen window or from the deck.

Bungalow

I love this quirky little house! It was such a comfortable and warm place to stay. I sat on the deck with my coffee, looking at the snowy mountains. For a small place, they really have everything you could even need. It was very welcoming. Bed is comfy. The only thing, is it really only has room for one vehicle.

Cozy cottage near many attractions

My young adult daughter & I stayed here for 3 days. We visited the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo and visited the Garden of the Gods each day. The view from the kitchen window is a red rock formation in the side yard & Pike’s Peak, so beautiful! Great location!
