The Neighborhood:
Manitou Springs, just 10 minutes west of Downtown Colorado Springs, is the area’s attraction ground-zero, the center of activity for visitors and guests. Most of the most well-known and publicized outdoor wonders, the places that people come here to visit, are located here or close to here. This home is in the heart of Manitou Springs. The base of Pikes Peak is just up the road, right next to the Pikes Peak Cog Railway, the base of Barr Trail and the world-renowned Manitou Incline. Garden of the Gods Park, with its famous, towering red rock formations, is 5 minutes away by car or 10 minutes away by bicycle. There is so much to explore, all RIGHT HERE.
Manitou is also historic, and was one of the West’s first “vacation” and travel destinations. Manitou Ave, just two blocks down the hill from our home, was built in the 1870’s and offers exceptional dining, drinking, cafes, galleries, artisan shops, and whimsical, Western-original gems featuring Native American art, furs, trapping & leather supplies, and outdoor adventure equipment. Much of the town is built along Fountain Creek, which flows beautifully year-round. Named after its historic artisan spring, there are historic fountains around town where guests can fill a water bottle or sample a taste. There are also multiple wedding and event venues here housed in Victorian mansions that still inspire awe and wonder. Lastly, located where it is at the base of one of the highest peaks in the Colorado Rocky Mountains, there’s still a very real natural feel here and it’s not common to see traffic along Manitou Avenue held up by a crossing herd of deer, or the occasional black bear or mountain lion!
