The Nest was a cozy place to stay and within walking distance to all the shops. It was clean and even ready for us to check in early, which was a nice bonus. The bathroom is small but totally doable for two people. The bed felt closer to a full than a queen, but it didn’t bother us much since we’re used to a queen at home. Overall, we had a great stay and would recommend it.

Hobbit like, small but cute and cozy! Espresso, and cookies upon arrival. Perfect for the autumn stay. Hot tub at night under the stars. The space was clean and conveniently located by all the shops. Food and fun at your fingertips. Red Dog coffee around the corner was the best! We came for the Emma coffin races and had a blast!

Cozy and Quiet

A weekend away spent up the hill from a few of our favorite places to eat and a 10 minute walk to the incline/barr trail. The host was wonderful and responsive, we enjoyed the hot tub and the fact it felt secluded while being right in town. The space is inviting and the bed was really comfortable for being small. My husband is 6’4 and I’m 5’10, so we did have to duck under the doors as it’s an older building with around 6ft door frames, but for the price and convenience of walking Manitou we would recommend it to anyone on a budget.

Cozy and Convenient

Very comfortable and the hot tub area was really cute. Walking distance to shops. It was perfect for me and my two kids, but I bet it would also be great for a couple’s getaway. I would definitely stay here again.

Great spot for a short trip

This little place was cozy and perfect for a getaway! It has everything you need and the hot tub is great. The location feels very secluded, but it’s less that two blocks from the heart of downtown Manitou. I only got my car out once in four days and just walked everywhere. The hosts were very communicative and checked in to make sure I had what I needed.

Honeymoon in the Shire

We came here the day after our LotR themed wedding and when we arrived, it felt like we stepped right into a Tolkien novel. The lil cottage was about perfect and all rules were clear upon entering. We were a few minute walk away from the shops and I loved that. I strongly recommend anyone stay here is your can, and if we find ourselves in the area again, while I’d love to see the other property I’d be more than happy to stay in the Nest again.

The Nest was the cuttest cottage with a private hot tub for 2 in all of Manitou Springs! It was the perfect weekend getaway location for my Sisterfriend and me. We were able to walk to downtown in minutes. Once there, you'll absolutely fallin love with the town and the people. if you're looking for a place to stay in the Manitou Springs area, this charming, cute little cottage could be just the place you're looking for!

My daughter and I enjoyed a four-day stay at the Nest- a small yet cozy and welcoming cabin within walking distance of everything we had planned (using the shuttle service). The host was responsive, check-in instructions were clear and easy to follow, and their home was well-equipped with everything we needed and more! Thank you for sharing your place!
