Built in 1886 as the Avenue Hotel, it has served as a Hotel, a boarding house, apartment building, a lodge, and private residence. In 1984 the Grays converted it to Manitou's First Bed and Breakfast.

A wonderful historic turn of the century Queen Anne 7-rooms, 3 are 2 room suits with 2 beds plus Carriage House in the heart of Manitou Spring's Historic District. Our accommodations include private bathrooms; most with claw foot tub/shower, a delicious breakfast served daily a Jacuzzi in the back garden and spa services available. There are also many restaurants, shops and art galleries within walking distance of the inn. All this makes for a memorable stay.
