Image property of Victoria's Keep with thanks from Colorado Springs New Homes. Manitou Springs - part of the Colorado Springs New Homes area - just keeps increasing its stock as our local diamond in the rough. Back in October the popular Victoria's Keep Bed & Breakfast Inn was forced to close for two months after experiencing extensive water damage from a water main burst. About three months and $50,000 later, the Inn is reopened and ready to positively impact both its town and the environment, thanks to some green repairs and replacements.

A week or two ago I wrote about the ways in which Manitou Springs is bucking the nationwide economic slump, and I think the improvements at the Inn will only further the town's growing stock. The Inn is located on Ruxton Avenue in the heart of Manitou Springs, and its elegance cannot be understated; incidentally, Victoria's was voted by guests as the "best place to celebrate honeymoons and anniversaries" in 2004, 2005 and 2006, according to Arrington's Inn Traveler Magazine. With money-saving improvements like a high-efficiency furnace and two tankless water heaters, I wouldn't be surprised if owners Karen Cullen and Jay Rohrer invest money in other facets of the Inn, making them a likely candidate to win the 2008 this year.
