Hummingbird Cottage - downtown Manitou Springs

The Hummingbird Cottage at Agate Hill is a duplex cottage with a covered porch, sitting room, kitchen and 2 bedrooms: 1 King, 2 twins configured as a daybed trundle, 1 bathroom. The kitchenette has a kitchen table, a larger 4.3 cubic ft mini refrigerator, counter top convection oven, microwave, double basin sink & coffee maker. The kitchen has a decorative antique stove (it does not work). Coffee, tea. If you need a fully equipped kitchen this cottage's twin, the Honeysuckle can be reserved - Vrbo property id: 1348481

All our cottages feature a king sized Select Comfort bed with additional bedrooms with either full or twin beds. Our cottages are cozy with Parlour Gas Log Stoves, air conditioning and kitchens. Our old fashioned bathrooms have original claw-foot tub/showers for soaking tired feet if you hike the Incline or our many trails. We have high speed WiFI, HD TV, DVD players, assorted DVD’s, Chromecast and Hulu Live TV.

The Agate Hill Historic District is in downtown Manitou Springs. We are up on the hill so the views are expansive on a on a quiet residential street. We have almost an acre of gardens. Depending on how you count, we are about 6 houses walking distance to the Post Office and downtown. We have 3 cottages on the property and can host 14 people total. Manitou is hilly, so expect steps and stairs. We are a adult oriented property, which means we welcome quiet well supervised older kids; to be honest if you have younger kids, properties that have play areas and pools are more suitable. Our property is drug and smoke free in its entirety.

Manitou Springs located in the foothills of Pikes Peak just 11 miles west of downtown Colorado Springs via US Hwy 24. Explore the many hiking/biking trails by just leaving from the cottage. In just minutes walk to downtown Manitou and find art galleries, clothing, jewelry or specialty shops, small resturants, pubs or night life or our mineral springs. Within walking distance find Spa services at the SunWater Spa, Heritage Museum, Miramont Castle, Manitou Antique Arcade, weekly summer live music, weekend festivals. With in a mile or so the Cog Railway, Cave of the Winds and Cliff Dwellings.

The owner lives on the property and we feature local Manitou art work by Tina and Ken Riesterer. City of Manitou Springs has been named the world's first certified municipal Pollinator District.

Charming Cottage

This was a great little property for our visit to Manitou! Short walk to downtown and all the happenings there, and easy access to the shuttles for the Manitou Incline and Pike's Peak Cog Rail. For those who might have some physical limitations, the cottage sits atop a steep street, so the walk can be challenging. It won't stop us from staying there in the future, but an FYI. It actually helped burn the calories from all the great restaurants! John, the owner, was great! He met us out on the sidewalk when we pulled up and was thorough in sharing everything we needed to ensure our stay was perfect. We highly recommend staying here!

Quaint, generally clean but a few things to know...

Clean and cute little place. Generally fine. Feedback: I wish I would have realized the bathroom could only be accessed via the second bedroom before i rented it, and that the walls were so thin for the second cottage unit. Also, parking and walkway and stairs to the unit not the most ideal for anyone with knee or other issues. A little updating to the surround and shower curtains might improve the shower experience, as well as a mirror in the main bedroom. But all in all, good experience, and it was clean and comfortable. Nice stay.

Great location

This cute cottage is close to everything there is to do in Manitou. John, the property owner/manager was very responsive and me us when we arrived and delivered our luggage to the cottage. The place is really cute and decorated appropriately for the age of the home. Bed was comfortable. Sitting on the front porch with a cocktail was our favorite spot to relax and view the town. The only negtive comment I have is about the bathtub/shower. It is an old fashioned clawfoot tub with a curtain surrounding it on all sides. While very cute, the high sides made it difficult to get in, and there is nothing to grab onto to steady yourself. Definitely not for anyone with any kind of mobility isssues. All in all though, we had a great weekend and enjoyed the cottage.

Excellent location and beautiful home!

Everything was just about perfect. We will rent there again when we come back to the area! The only minor issue was that we got to Manitou very late, around midnight, and had not eaten all day. However, the host greets you when you get there and lets you in. To avoid getting there even later, we drove to Manitou from Denver as soon as we got our rental car. By the time we got there and checked in no restaurant was open. Self-checkin would make it much more convenient. So if you are getting there, and need to eat, plan accordingly!

Awesome property, great location and friendly owner!

My girlfriend and I had never stayed in Manitou Springs before, so we didn’t know a lot about the location but rented this cottage hoping it would be a nice place and good location and both were perfect! The cottage had everything we needed and was a nice place to hang out and sleep between outings. The owner was also very friendly and met us at the gate early and we continued to run into him randomly throughout the trip and he was always very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend! Thank you for everything! :)

Everything was just perfect. The only thing I will do next time is stay in the full kitchen unit. The hosts are sweethearts and offered guidance for anything I needed but I really didn’t need anything because it was perfectly set up. There just aren’t enough thing I could say other than if you see this available, don’t pass it by. Book it and you will be thankful you did.

Outstanding Experience

We spent five days and four nights at Hummingbird Cottage. The location in Manitou Springs is amazing--only about a block from downtown and less than a mile from the trailheads to the Intemann Trail, Barr Trail, and the Manitou Incline. This historic property is beautiful and well-maintained. The owner, John, is a terrific guy who lives on site. He is great with communication and instructions and responds to questions promptly. Our family had a great experience and will definitely be back.

Quiet and peaceful

The Hummingbird Cottage is a beautiful place to stay, and John is a wonderful host along with his dog, Morty. This location is perfect for walking around Manitou Springs, but be prepared for the hills! They are steep! It’s also the perfect location to sit outside overlooking the garden while reading or enjoying morning coffee! Perfect stay!

Lovely duplex two blocks from downtown

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hummingbird Cottage. The duplex was cozy with two bedrooms, a small kitchen, bathroom and living room. We spent hours sitting on the front porch enjoying the gardens, views and occasional hummingbird or butterfly. John was very friendly and helpful, and we enjoyed occasional visits from his dogs. It took us about five minutes (max) to walk downtown. A few more to walk back, since it's up a pretty steep hill. The location was quiet and peaceful and we'd definitely stay again.

Convenient and quiet retreat

Our stay at John's cottage was very pleasant. We especially enjoyed the quiet street, closeness to downtown Manitou Springs eateries, and sitting on the porch each night watching the moon rise. A plus was our host's super friendly dog Morty who paid us the honor of quiet, affectionate visits. Expect a quiet retreat with comfortable beds and good air conditioning -- be prepared for bathroom features (including a claw foot tub!) that might not please everyone but are perfectly adequate.

Tranquility

My son and I were in Colorado Springs to film a commercial. John's AirB&B was our weekend. An old friend of mine from Utah joined us. Manitou Springs is very touristy, historically. But this place is an authentic historic building. I spent most of my time on the porch just staring. Beware Mortie the dog will steal your heart.

Total Gem!!

Very accurate listing. The check in process was perfect. John is an attentive host and a very nice human in general! The location is superb. The cottage is in a quite residential area, but a very short walk to the historic downtown. I did a lot of hiking during my trip - no need to fight the parking near the Incline and Barr Trail, just walk from the cottage then you can grab a burger on your way back. The cottage was very clean, the water warm with good pressure and the Sleep Number bed was comfortable. I highly recommend this property and host. I hope very much to get back to Manitou Spring - if I do, I will be staying here again.
