Bed and Breakfast Description

Built in 1886 as the Avenue Hotel, it has served as a hotel, boarding house, apartment building, lodge, and private residence. In 1984, the Grays converted it to Manitou's First Bed and Breakfast.

It is a wonderful, 7-room, historic, turn-of-the-century Queen Anne in the heart of Manitou Spring's Historic District. Our accommodations include private bathrooms, most with clawfoot tub and shower, a delicious breakfast served daily, a Jacuzzi in the back garden and spa services. There are also many restaurants, shops and art galleries within walking distance of the inn. All this makes for a memorable stay.

The first floor houses the dining room, formal living room, library and family room with guest telephone & data port- there are no phones in guest rooms- TV-VCR-DVD, movies, wireless Internet access, fireplace and foyer. A large front porch overlooks Manitou Avenue. All guest rooms are air-conditioned.

We also offer a great space for small weddings, commitment ceremonies, receptions or a site for seminars, retreats and classes.

In the backyard there is a wild flower garden and Jacuzzi for your relaxing pleasure.

Area Attractions and Activities:

Manitou Springs - Legend has it that the Ute Indian tribes from the mountains met the Arapaho and other Plains tribes in peace to worship the god that breathed into the waters to create the natural effervescence of the springs and give them curative powers. This Great Spirit is called Manitou in Algonquin.

Manitou Springs is a wonderful, artistic, culturally diverse community rich in Indian culture. It has been called the Saratoga of the west and there is so much to do.
