Two Sister Inn
 

A welcoming guest house, well located near the main street, in Manitou Springs, Colorado

Manitou Springs is a lovely small town with tremendous character. If you want to stay in the area, Manitou Springs is probably a much better choice than the larger, nearby town Colorado Springs. 

Manitou Springs was a revered spiritual place of Native Americans, nestling as it does between famous Pike's Peak, and the equally famous Mountain of the Gods.

With a stones's throw of Manitou Avenue – Manitou Springs high street – are many residential houses, and plenty of places to stay. 

I dug out what looked like a lovely place to stay; but they could only accommodate us for one of the two nights I needed. They highly recommended another place: the Two Sisters Inn.

Two Sisters Inn, Manitou Springs 

The Two Sisters Inn is highly recommended, for:

• The Welcome
• The Ambience
• The comfort
• The location

1. The welcome

The Two Sisters Inn is a small and highly welcoming bed and breakfast. Even when telephoning to book, the two lady owners (not the original sisters) are only to happy to help and advise and make your trip enjoyable.

On arrival we were helped to our room, shown the amenities, then given a lovely cold glass of home made lemonade. We sat on the porch drinking it and taking in the warm evening.

The Ambience

The house has only a few rooms, so it really is like coming into someone's home.

Downstairs are two comfortable public rooms with – bliss! - NO Television. (At the time of our visit, Michael Jackson had just died and it seemed that at the last hotel, every channel on every TV was covering the story.)

A wireless connection was available for my netbook. I had to ask them to turn it on though - sweet! Seems that there is a habit among some Americans of turnign the router off to make it last longer. Never heard that one before!

As I sat tapping away I the evening, strains of light jazz played quietly in the background. Very, very relaxing.

My partner played a slightly 'honky tonk' piano, from a good selection of music provided.

The Comfort

The bedroom was snug but perfectly adequate; the bathroom a good size. My partner is very choosy about the feel of sheets on her skin. The sheets got an enthusiastic 'thumbs up'.

All in all, very comfortable and homely

The Location

A beautiful location in a lovely town – Manitou Springs. The location within the town is perfect. The Two Sisters Inn is just yards from the Manitou Springs quiet main street.

In the street there are a good choice of eating establishments. The proprietors have ample recommendations written down for you, both for eating places and places to visit both within and just outside Manitou Springs.. 

Parking is easy. The Two sisters Inn has its own parking off road. Plus parking on the road is easy anyway.

Summary: Two Sisters Inn, Manitou Springs 

Quirky (in a good way); homely; comfortable; friendly; excellent breakfast – gourmet, as they say; great location; relaxing.

Pricing – moderate. For us the price was nearly $150 per night including all taxes for two, including a stunning breakfast.

If you are going anywhere near Manitou Springs, make a Diversion and stay at the Two sisters Inn.
