Built in 1909, this classic cottage overlooking historic, unique Manitou Springs at the base of Pikes Peak, “America’s Mountain,” is a jewel of a short-term rental — the place you’ve been hoping to find to complete a perfect vacation or short-term stay.

For the adventurer, explore some of the best, most impressive and renowned hiking trails in the area including “the Manitou Incline” — this home promises memories, whimsy and an authentic Colorado experience.
Manitou Springs is known for its location at the base of Pikes Peak, and that means some steep hillsides within a box canyon. Surrounded by an original historic greenstone wall across the front, this home offers great appeal and off-street parking too! There is a private driveway on the side of the home for your convenience. To enter the house at the side entrance, walk past the charming, classic front porch that just invites some time to spend watching the world below with a cup of coffee or a local Colorado craft beer or cocktail.
Entering the home, you’ll be presented with a bright, warm and welcoming space that embraces it’s classic roots while also inviting modern practicalities too. The design is simple, with all of the rooms radiating outward from the living room. This central space is perfect for some serious relaxation or even an afternoon nap after the day’s adventures. There’s a dining table here with seating for four and just off the living room is the stylish, functional kitchen featuring quality cabinetry and a new stainless-steel refrigerator, gas stove and dishwasher along with a classic tin ceiling. As you finish your own culinary creations, you’ll be able to gaze out the window above the sink to the mountains across Ute Pass, and just beyond to the tips of the red rocks of Garden of the Gods.
The home’s single bedroom is just off the living room beyond French doors and offers king-size comfort to the weary traveler, well-appointed with hotel quality linens, cleaned and laundered professionally. The single bathroom is clean and inviting. There’s a full laundry for guest use, as well as desk space or a work area, to get some last minute projects completed (if you must)! Just outside the glass door from the kitchen is an exceptional outdoor living space, perfect for a meal in the fresh mountain air or an evening spent under the clear Colorado sky. There’s a BBQ grill for a steak or a portobello, and endless opportunities for some outdoor relaxation.
This home is charming and unique, but also practical and sensible, in a location that couldn’t be better. We invite you to browse our photos, ask us any questions, and book today!

The house is beautiful and Philip was very responsive to our needs. The location is excellent, just a short walk to downtown Manitou Springs but quiet and private. The deer grazing in the yard were especially charming. Phillips cottage is a 5 star stay in Manitou Springs. Comfortable 1 bed space with plenty of room to work, relax, cook, and enjoy the nearby mountains and town. Clean and has everything needed. Highly recommend. Great little house for my wife and I! We really felt at home in this nice little house on the hill! L
