Everything about this place was perfect for a weekend of fun with family! It is a very quiet house, despite its age. Lots of space. The kitchen was perfect for meals and the host was very communicative. The place was SPOTLESS, and beautifully appointed. You are able to walk to the downtown area but if you have some that are not so keen on walking there’s also a shuttle that goes by that is free. We had a great time, thanks!!

nice historic home in Manitou Springs!
This home was in a great location, walking distance to downtown Manitou Springs and many fun attractions. The house was perfect for my family of four. Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. The updates to the house are well done with great amenities and was very clean. The hot tub was a nice touch as well! We hope to visit again next year!

Extension of graduation trip.
From this home to the Pike’s Peak Cog Railway station is only three uphill blocks. We enjoyed this attraction in the morning followed by an easy hike at Garden of the Gods in the afternoon. After several days of eating in restaurants over graduation/Mothers Day weekend, we were happy to cook our own meals. The kitchen had all the pots, pans, and utensils we needed.

Manitou madness
Girl's weekend in Manitou Springs. No, we did not do the incline but it is very close by.....maybe this fall. The house was wonderful. Meet our needs of everyone having their own bed and bathroom. That's great for 4 adults. The house had everything that we needed; was very clean and well stocked. Maybe our stay place for our Manitou Incline Challenge.

Fabulous Getaway!
We wanted a quick spot to get away from Denver for a few nights and this home was perfect for our stay. It's so roomy and cozy and perfect for families with small (or grown!) children. Our 19 year old son loved the bedrooms and hot tub. The couch and throws in the living room were so warm and comfortable for watching a movie on a cold night that we talked about it a few times on the drive home :). The host was so gracious in answering any of our questions and we felt right at home. We'll definitely plan another stay here in the summer.

Beautifully updated home
My family really enjoyed the property and the ability to walk to the Cog Railway as well as downtown. The kitchen had everything that was needed and the two main floor bedrooms were perfect. We found that the smaller of the two upstairs bedrooms never cooled off enough to sleep in so had to share a bed in the other room (this is the reason for the 4 star review; it would probably be better in cooler weather). The front steps are not for the faint of heart but the listening does provide a warning about this. It was a little more difficult for some members of our family to navigate the rough stairway than expected but they did get some good exercise out of it.

Fantastic Stay in Manitou Springs!
"Ruxton Estate" was an eclectic and quirky older home with a ton of conveniences and creature comforts - we loved staying in such a historic home! There was plenty of room for our 4-person group while we celebrated the start of our son's second year at the USAFA - each bedroom had it's own bathroom, which was very welcome and appreciated. The home, while old, was spotless and extremely clean and located close to the downtown nightlife and activities, but far enough away to provide quiet and relaxed evenings. We had one small problem with the Comcast box (turned out it was defective) and Jean was extremely responsive and had it replaced immediately - she even brought along sweet treats as way of apology (which was not needed but super-nice)! We will stay again next time we are in the area for sure and really appreciated Jean and her husband's kindness - they even let us stay a few hours post check-out since our flight didn't leave until late. A+++ VRBO experience!
