    My husband and I spent 2 nights in the Streamside Suite located at Red Crags. We had a nice time but were a little bit disappointed by a few things. There are 3 properties. The property where we stayed was the least crowded but it also seemed like it had the most problems. There seemed to be a lot of maintenance issues and work going on during our stay. Red Crags is also the only 1 of the 3 properties where a staff doesn't stay on-site. Something was going on with their cable too so we had limited TV channels. We didn't have climate control either and we were freezing from the A/C. We were planning on using the fireplace to make up for it but we found out that the fireplace was off for the summer. The towels provided in the bathroom were also poor quality and there weren't enough of them. It didn't seem like all of the jets were working in the outdoor hot tub either. There were just a lot of things going on at this property. Breakfasts were provided at 1 of the other property locations. The meals were good but the 2 dining rooms were very crowded since all 3 properties ate there. Our stay was ok but we were sure expecting more from the place.

    Wonderful Wedding Stay!

    Brett and Maureen were so accomodating and helpful, and the grounds were SO beautiful. Breakfast was terrific! We will definitely be back again. PS, the Teddy Roosevelt Room is the best!

    Our daughter was recently married at the Rockledge B&B. It was the most amazing experience ever. It was very romantic and personal. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone thinking of having a wedding in the Manitou area.

    My wife and I were in Manitou Springs for 4 lovely days and decided to stay here the 3 nights we were there. We stayed in the Cherub suite 3/25/2011-3/28/2011, and were completely swept away in time. We almost wished each day spent perusing the shops in town would be over so we could return to Red Crags. There were other guests, but we only ever saw them briefly. So much so, we felt we had the entire house to ourself, and explored each room, hallway, picture, and piece of furniture. The entire decore made us feel we had stepped back in time, and made us feel as if we were wealthy, even though we're not. There is no one on staff at Red Crags. They stay with the check-in desk at the main property just around the corner. Breakfast only consisted of a basket, replenished daily with fruit and snack bars and a couple of boiled eggs, which was a little disappointing since it is a 'bed and "breakfast". Only complaint we had was housekeeping. She replenished our firewood and made the bed and some of the towels, but that was about it. Our water glasses and trash cans never were tended to. Also, our second morning we were getting dressed to head to town around 9:30am, when she showed up wanting to clean the room. My wife told her we were not ready, yet she came in and started cleaning anyway. I came out of the bathroom while shaving and there was the housekeeper making our bed. Very awkward!!!! Overall, Red Crags is a magical place that sweeps you back in time with modern conveniences very close to town and all attraction. We would definitely like to return someday. Kudos to Maureen 'Mo' for her help in getting our flights listed from her computer. Thanks Mo !!! We Loved it!
