No, that image isn’t Manitou Springs – it’s Castelmezzano in Italy. But worldwide there are commonalities of life in small mountain town. Our goal as owners of the Incline House is to foster a small community in pursuit of the good life, marked by good friends, tranquility, fitness, good food, adventure… all that enable residents to zealously pursue whatever it is they seek.
Nestled at the base of the famed Manitou Incline in the heart of Colorado’s quaint, historic community of Manitou Springs, lies an intriguing blend of past and present: the Incline House. Imagine a picturesque, old clapboard-sided three-story home, complete with an adjacent cottage, all meticulously repurposed with modern amenities. This isn’t just a house; it’s a living, breathing community space, echoing the adventurous spirit of Colorado itself.
In 1890 Henrietta Meminger launched a boarding house at 144 Ruxton Ave in Manitou Springs. That same boarding house has been reimagined, reinvented rehabilitated, and renamed for today’s dynamic lifestyles – boarding house 2.0. The Incline House serves as a beacon for those drawn to the Colorado lifestyle – traveling nurses, athletes, tech workers, and more, all seeking a sense of community and a taste of adventure.
