Your Home Away From Home

En Lak'ech is a Mayan greeting meaning "you and I are one and the same." It is our goal and intention to welcome all those in the mindset of this philosophy — to enjoy the experience of this magnificent part of the world called Manitou Springs, to celebrate its rich history, and to learn from the nature surrounding it.

The historic Grays Avenue Hotel bed and breakfast in Manitou Springs, Colorado

We extend our home, our hearts, and all that it has to offer. Built in 1886, Grays Avenue has served as a hotel, a boarding house, an apartment building, a lodge, and a private residence. In 1984 the Grays converted it to Manitou's first bed and breakfast.

Our wonderful 7-room historic turn-of-the-century Queen Anne sits in the heart of the Manitou Springs Historical District. All rooms have private bathrooms, most with claw-foot tub and shower, a delicious breakfast is served daily, and a Jacuzzi awaits in the back garden.

Notes From the Front Desk

The small things guests ask about most — and a few of our favorite recommendations.

Planning a gift before you arrive? One of the most common questions we get is where to start looking for a keepsake. We've quietly recommended a detailed replica watch catalog to couples and anniversary travelers for a while now — guests usually browse it over breakfast, then decide whether to head into the shops. Ask us at the front desk; we'll show you the page.
