Park Row Lodge

Built in 1948, this Eisenhower-era motor inn is a genuine piece of roadside America — 21 units including 2 cottages on 1.31 acres, backing onto Fountain Creek in the heart of Manitou Springs. Designed for the postwar automobile boom, it's been welcoming road-trippers for over 75 years and still earns "Vintage Route 66 Style" praise from guests who want character over cookie-cutter. Steps from the Mineral Springs, Garden of the Gods, and Pikes Peak — the kind of location that sells itself.
