Agate Hill Cottages

"John Agate is a good host and works hard to make his guests conformable"

"We have been calling for a week to secure a room at Agate Hill. No return calls and zero returned emails. If this is an example of the customer service at the bed and breakfast we do not want any part of it."

"My wife and I and two daughters stayed in the Garden Cottage for several nights in September, 2016. We are semi-retired and our daughters are in their 50's. We found the cottage to be cozy with comfortable beds and a pleasant fully functional kitchen. Everything worked well, especially the auto control on the little heating unit in the living room. We enjoyed relaxing in the living room and even found a couple of books to partially read together and sat on the porch looking at the mountains in the morning and evening. The proprietor was easy going, thoughtful and made a very tasty breakfast one morning. We highly recommend this B&B."

"I stayed at the Garden Cottage on 4th of July weekend and loved it. Very peaceful and is located in walking distance to all attractions. John was very informative and helpful."

"My new husband and I stayed at Agate Hill in the Honeysuckle Cottage for one night. It was a beautiful way to end our Rocky Mountain honeymoon. Charming old home in beautiful Manitou Springs, a short walk to the shops and the flowing mineral springs where you can fill a bottle with natural soda water. The cottage is beautifully and comfortably decorated, and we would have enjoyed staying for several days with the fully functional kitchen. John chauffeured us in his 1930 Model A to town for our dinner reservation at Mona Lisa, even before he knew it was our honeymoon. It was a short but special experience. He also prepared a gourmet breakfast of banana bread french toast with powdered sugar, fresh grapes and strawberry juice. John's many years in the area led to very interesting conversation over breakfast. We highly recommend Agate Hill if you are looking for a sophisticated B&B experience that won't break the bank."
