“Cozy diner that serves breakfast and lunch. It seems that only one person was running the place himself, but he was doing a great job! He welcomed us from the kitchen and told us to sit wherever we like. After we ordered, the food came out quickly and we ate it just as fast! It was so good that we came here two mornings in a row! We had the breakfast burrito and chocolate pancakes. It wasn't busy, and we snagged a close parking spot. Will be going back every time we are in Manitou Springs!“

“My husband, son and I enjoyed lunch at this establishment. It was delicious. A shout out for your berry salad and your teriaki chicken! We are back home in St Louis now and I miss your food already. Our waiter happened to be from Edwardsville, IL and he was great! Both tables next to us were also from Missouri too. Fun atmosphere!“

“We recently had our daughter’s wedding at Craftwood Inn, and could not be happier!  We had heard it was amazing venue and experience, so our expectations were pretty high, but the team, atmosphere, and experience exceeded them.  Natalie was our coordinator, and she was extremely knowledgeable, efficient, detail oriented, and a pleasure to work with - it went off without a hitch.  She was assisted by Israel during the wedding day, and the transition was seamless - he handled everything without issue as well.  We owe a huge thanks to Natalie, Israel, and entire staff at Craftwood Inn for making our milestone filled with terrific memories.“
