Wonderful!

Beautiful house that combines classic yet comfortable decorating in the living room and bedrooms with the luxury of modern kitchen and bathrooms. Nice property with lots of outside seating where you can hear the sound of nearby Fountain Creek. Quiet location yet close to everything.

Perfect Wedding!

We held our wedding at The Allison House. Everything was absolutely perfect! The communication from day one was top tier, I never had a question that went unanswered from the host. The house was clean and accommodated the whole wedding party. Our family/friends were blown away with how beautiful the house was. Thank you for making our special day even more amazing!

Amazing house!

Everyone was blown away by how cool this house was! So nice to be able to walk into town to the nearby restaurants, shops and arcade . The abundant parking is very valuable since it is scarce and costly around Manitou Springs. The back patio with a grill, smoker and fire pit is as private as it gets. And the river and bridge out front are so peaceful. We had an absolute blast! All the beds were extremely comfortable and the kitchen is very well stocked with supplies. We hope we will be able to come back again in 2025. Thank you to the hosts for sharing such a memorable home with us!

Ideally located for exploring Manitou Springs and the surrounding area, the house was exceptionally comfortable, not to mention absolutely beautiful. We were delighted with how well equipped the kitchen was, how well furnished the rooms were, and how welcoming the outdoor spaces were (especially since we visited during a heat wave and while there was a lot of smoke from fires in the region). Everyone loved the house and are thinking about the next trip to Manitou even if just to stay here again.

It’s a very nice property to be able to do a variety of things. Sit by the fire pit and listen to the creek flowing by, sit out back on the deck, or sit in one of several cozy rooms with comfy couches and chairs. Plenty of space for all! The house is close enough to walk into town to go shopping too.

The place is amazing and beautiful. The only slightly negative thing is no air conditioning downstairs, so the downstairs bedroom was a little warm for sleeping. Other than that, the place is gorgeous! The master upstairs is to die for!!

Beautiful historic property on the quiet west end of Manitou. Furnishings were stylish and comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped.This was our second stay in this property. This time we hosted two dinners for our children and grand children. The master suite is perfect. The large bath area included a dressing room and a towel warmer.Parking was plentiful and free.We hope to return soon.

Perfect location and lovely area. Love the history of the house.Very comfortable and well stocked with everything you need. Great place to host our pre- Wedding Party but we had clean off debris from large back porch and furniture. Also had to clean off chairs near creek and fire pit. There was a conflict on total charges which i have never encountered with the numerous VRBO bookings we have done. It ended up being twice what I thought and would have canceled but we already had a party planned.
