My husband and I and another couple stayed here and were delighted with our stay. The staff was very helpful...even gave us step by step directions on how to get to the property and stayed on the phone and "talked us in"! My husband does not usually like to stay in B & Bs but loved this one. The historical tour of the property was most interesting and the location is great. The breakfast was wonderful! We would return to this property!

We stayed two nights in the Teddy Roosevelt suite and would stay there again. The room has a private deck with a view of Pikes Peak. The floor to ceiling windows in the bathroom over look the valley and surrounding hills/mountains. The large comfortable bed swallows you in luxury. The suite is in one of three historic buildings on the grounds, it's actually the black and white photo that you see on this site. They serve wine downstairs after three, and the downstairs rooms are beautiful. You have full access to the kitchen 24 hrs a day. I used their dishes after I went to the main building for breakfast, and brought fruit back for my wife to enjoy on the deck. We enjoyed drinking wine in the evenings taking in Pikes Peak and watching the valley. In the mornings, I saw deer below me walking around.

If you are a low maintenance traveler, this is perfect for you. That being said, the staff is great and helpful as we experienced. But keep in mind, this is a B&B, breakfast is served in another building and there is not room service. There is a magazine tray as you walk in the main door, it hold menu's, we're not sure they deliver as we found it when we where leaving.

It's not located in downtown Manitou Springs, rather it's just off the road exit to Garden of the Gods (we could see some of the rocks from GOTG from our deck) from the main street leading into town. But the views! Rooms (both private and public area) are restored to their Victorian glory, and while I peaked in the other rooms when empty, the Teddy Suite is the best for size and views.

The night my friend and I arrived, it was raining; there was a water main break, and we could not get to our room (you can't get there from here). It was not the Red Crags fault. They upgraded us to a beautiful room, that we could get to. We stayed in the Rockledge house, in a corner suite, I think it was El Cascio, or something like that, with a great claw foot tub, that was jetted. My friend almost never came out of the bath. She said it was the best bath tub she had ever been in. We are girlfriends, that travel together, so splitting a king size bed, was just fine. I had wanted the Room with a View, so we had separate beds, but splitting a king, is okay, since we couldn't get to Room with a View. There was plenty of room for all of our stuff.
The house was historic and amazing. On Thur. nite, they rolled up the rugs in the main hall, and had a dance instructor, and Tango lessons. They asked us to join them. Very hospitable.
We hiked the grounds, in a light rain, and came across the biggest deer, with 12 points, that I have ever seen. I thought he was a statue, until his ear moved.
Having coffee in the morning, with a view of Pike's Peak, in beautiful, lush surroundings, made the stay for me. The breakfast that comes with your stay was very good and filling. Service is great.
Only complaint, we didn't have TV reception. Probably due to thunderstorms, but in such a neat place, there were plenty of other things to do.
In the late afternoon we went to Garden of the Gods, which is just next door. Then we went to the Stage Coach Inn for dinner, which is middle of the road, and then shopped the main street.

Our flight was messed up by the airlines and Red Crags took us in for two nights on an hour's notice. Loved the place...actually both places...we ate breakfast outside at the next mansion down the street...and like it so much that we drove off with the breakfast china by mistake (but returned it a few days later). There were a couple of "old house" issues but I'm used to that. A deer and two fawns inhabited the parking lot as we were leaving. Great location by the Garden of the Gods.
