Talk to a real person.

Legally the property is zoned as a hotel, which is why you will sometimes see us listed that way. In practice you are renting a small freestanding house: your own front door, your own kitchen, your own patio, no shared hallways and no lobby. Most guests describe it as a vacation rental with the reliability of a hotel behind it.

Yes. Every restored casita has either a full kitchen with a range, oven and full refrigerator, or a well-equipped kitchenette with an induction cooktop, refrigerator, microwave and coffee maker. Each listing states exactly which. Cookware, dishes and utensils are provided throughout.

Fifteen of the twenty-two are open and taking bookings. The remaining seven are in restoration and come online through the year. Everything bookable on this site is finished — we do not rent a casita until the work on it is complete.

Restoration is ongoing on the remaining casitas and the grounds, and work happens during normal daytime hours on weekdays. It is not adjacent to every casita, and we will tell you honestly what is happening near your unit if you ask before booking.

Dogs under 50 lbs are welcome in most casitas for an additional pet fee, with a two-dog limit. Please tell us about your dog when you book so we place you in a pet-friendly casita with easy lawn access. Dogs should not be left unattended in a casita.

Yes — free, private, off-street parking with a space near your casita. In Manitou Springs, where downtown parking is metered and limited, this is one of the most practical advantages of staying here.

The pool area is a full rebuild rather than a refresh, and we are targeting 2027 for the pool, hot tub and sauna together. The gas fire pits and the game lawn open in autumn 2026. We keep the grounds page updated rather than describing amenities that do not exist yet.

Check-in is from 4:00pm using a keypad code sent to you before arrival, so you can arrive at any hour without needing to meet anyone. Check-out is by 10:00am. Early check-in and late check-out are often possible — just ask.

Same casitas, same team, without the platform's guest service fee — typically 12–16% of your total. Booking direct also means your messages reach us rather than a platform inbox, and it is the only way to access weekly, monthly and local resident rates.

The property was built in 1926 and accessibility varies considerably from casita to casita — some have level entry, others have a step or two. Please contact us with your specific requirements before booking and we will tell you exactly which casitas will work and which will not.

Yes, and groups often do. Because each casita is freestanding you can book several neighbouring units and keep everyone on the same lawn with their own front door. Full property buy-outs are possible. See our groups and extended stays page.

No. All casitas and the grounds are non-smoking, including vaping. Smoking inside a casita incurs a remediation fee.

Casitas are fully cleaned between stays. Mid-stay housekeeping and fresh linens can be arranged for longer stays — ask us when you book.

There is a full-service supermarket a few minutes' drive toward Old Colorado City, plus smaller markets in downtown Manitou Springs. Having a kitchen and a supermarket five minutes away is the single biggest difference between a week here and a week in a hotel room.
