    I booked a weekend in December here for my wife's birthday. We had an excellent time and some tremendously good food. The baked French toast was outstanding. The best thing I found about this that I wouldn't have thought of before was the location. It is right in the downtown of Manitou, which makes it pleasant to walk everywhere, even during the cold of December. The decorations for Christmas were also beautiful. Plus, free wi-fi is a great boon.

    went with our child

    Hard to find a bed and breakfast that will accommodate a child.....and understandably so. But Avenue has the lower level of a garden cottage out back where they will allow a child. We brought our 5 year old and this worked very nicely for us as it felt much more special than a motel and yet appropriate for our daughter. Gwenn serves breakfast directly to the cottage so as not to have a child hanging out in the main house. Yet she was definitely very warm to my daughter and we felt appreciated. The place is very nice but not stuffy or "museum" like. The house was decorated BEAUTIFULLY for the Christmas season. One more thing of note....all of the windows are large and above ground in the bottom part of the cottage so it feels like a regular cottage. We did not have anyone above us during the time of our visit.

    Better than any other B&B I've visited!

    Staying in the Carriage House room at the Avenue B&B was the most private and quaint stay I have ever experienced at a B&B. It was immaculate, cozy and comfy, and quiet. Everything was just what we needed. The breakfast was not your run-of-the-mill muffin and coffee; but a full course morning delicacy served with a smile! The owners are a friendly couple with a warm welcome. Location was perfect for being in town and within walking distance of shops and restaurants. We want to go back again soon!

    The most wonderful, relaxing B&B. Our second time staying at The Avenue Hotel. Gwenn is a wonderful hostess, cook and a wealth of information on local dining spots. The rooms are beautifully decorated, clean and a great value for the money. We love the B&B, the area and the ability to totally relax, plus the most delicious breakfasts. We plan on more trips to bring friends & relatives to experience our favorite B&B. It will always be our first choice place to stay in the Colorado Springs area.

    Great option in the heart of Manitou Springs

    I stayed three nights and look forward to returning. The location is terrific - set back from the main street and close to downtown shopping and dining. I had the least expensive room but it was adequate for one person. (I saw the other rooms and they are much nicer.) Breakfast was good but 9 a.m. is too late for this early riser. The next door neighbors (and their dog) were in a partying mood when I was there, and their late-night noise was annoying. The other neighbors are very quiet at night: the public library and an elementary school! Parking is on the street, but I had no trouble finding a space close by. The innkeeper was pleasant and helpful, and the house is nicely furnished. If you want to stay in the heart of Manitou Springs, this is a great option.
