What Do People Say about this Home? Location, Location, Location.
“My time at the Victorian Rose was well spent and highly enjoyable! The house had everything I needed to make it a home away from home! The fenced back and front yard was great for my dog! Also the location was exceptional! I walked to Old Colorado City daily and I was 5 minutes away from Garden of the Gods and 10 minutes away from Manitou Springs! Thank you.”
Christina Guerrero
