It is not far from Colorado Springs, yet feels so private. Jason really helped with all of the pre-planning and was quick to respond to all of my questions via email. Jodi was so helpful and accommodating during our reunion stay! The meeting room and guest rooms were so nice and set up perfectly! One guest room did not have a portable cooler, but Jodi worked with us to change the guest accommodations to take care of that. There are a limited number of rooms with no stairs, but it was fine for our family. The view from the dining room was amazing! The meals were delicious, and the serving staff was so friendly and quick. The specialty breads and desserts were outstanding! We appreciated the coffee, tea, and water being available throughout the day and evening. Our family enjoyed volleyball, gaga ball, ping pong, cornhole, horseshoes, and just wandering around the grounds. It was wonderful to have a family meeting room so that we could visit and play games throughout the weekend. Overall, our family loved the Hideaway!

The employee clearly stated that she broke my piece during the glaze dipping process. She fired it anyhow so I could see how it turned out, but clearly stated I was not allowed to take the piece with me. Upon further inspection of my piece it was altered in other ways as the lettering I had painted on had clearly been smeared and an attempt to clean it off had been made. I was then told I could come back and paint another piece for "free". No, not free. I already paid for it and was not taking a completed piece home with me. Oh and laughing about it didn't help matters ladies. We will not be back.

We had our horse here for sometime and we left after the bordering manger continued to feed moldy hay to the horses despite having it brought to her attention and one horse had gotten very sick. Another alarming thing we noticed were deep gaping sores on many of the horses front legs. This is 100 percent due to the grading in the stalls and lack of mats and proper bedding - it is painful to see them suffering :/ and the barn manger/trainer, Boyer, seems complacent to it. She is upset if the horses use the stall "as a litter box." Hmmm. Horses are not cats in so many ways. I just don't get a "horse" person who doesn't put horses first. It is a shame because the facility is very special but my mind and heart often go back to those poor horses and I would simply recommend one avoid this establishment until new training/management is in place. I have to say another mom had warned me about this lady. I sure wish I had listened!

It was interesting how the brown color in the bathroom toilets and sinks had a sign explaining why the coloration was like that. It was nice that there were hands-on areas for kids. The bad: The weather was warm so we didn't get a chance to explore more of the outside space. There's several acres of land that you can roam and explore. My son was a bit scared of the mining tunnel simulation. The interesting: There was a co-op homeschooled kids group there that got to sift through the gold pans. It was neat. My daughter wanted to try it too but it was reserved just for the class.

When you're ready to slow down, you can visit one of 11 art galleries. Almost everything is accessible on foot or via the free shuttle system that circulates through town. It's about 75 miles or a 90-minute drive from Denver (depending on traffic), but if you have the extra time and don't want to drive or park, you can take a Bustang $12 fare South Line https://www.ridebustang.com/south-line bus into Colorado Springs and from there catch the $2 fare #3 shuttle into Manitou https://coloradosprings.gov/sites/default/files/rt3_spweb2018.pdf.

I love that there are play areas that work for all age groups. It is the perfect stop when I need a safe, contained space to get my kids energy out regardless of the weather. The play areas are always clean, the staff is always friendly. Both times we've had birthday parties here I've told my friends after what an amazing experience it is. This time Cooper was our party assistant and he was incredible. He took our decorations when we arrived and handled everything- all we had to do was schedule the party, send invites and socialize. Also, having three kids we've gotten to go to many parties and play areas and I really feel like this is the best value. We also had the opportunity to meet the new owner and she was incredibly friendly and kind. I love the changes and renovations that have been made to further deliver a great experience. We look forward to continue being regular attendees for a long time to come!

You entrust your child so that you are able to go to work and school, so your hopes as a parent that your kids are safe, loved, cared for and taken care of, fed and being taught what their curriculum that was outline on their website. I appreciate the time that they take to explain to me what goes on and how they rectify anything that they need to do if something does not go correctly in your little ones day. They don't automatically just call parents and say you need to pick up your child because I can't deal with them today.... yes I actually heard one teacher say that when I was in my kiddos school one afternoon waiting to pick them up for a dental appt..... it was so disheartening to have heard that because they have a bachelor's degree in childhood development and Education Specialist .
