Homeowner Testimonial
Lifestyle Director
Have you ever wanted a professional chef to teach you how to cook gourmet cuisine? How about taking a tour strolling through the charms of Colorado Springs? Whatever you dream, our Lifestyle Director makes that dream happen. Our energetic, creative pro takes pride in connecting and collaborating with you. She listens. She acts. She erupts with ideas as she puts her whole heart—and a few tricks up her sleeve—into making your experience the very way you envisioned it.
Ashley Maniscalco
Grateful for her simple childhood growing up in a small town in Colorado, Ashley’s happiest memories were riding 4-wheelers, going to the mountains with her Papa, working summers on a ranch cleaning cabins and riding horses, and playing hide-n-seek in her Grandparents’ massive scrap yard. She attended LSU, began her hospitality career in Baton Rouge, and spent a great deal of time in New Orleans. A graduate from Metro in Denver, she worked with the Denver Nuggets and planned events at venues such as the Pepsi Center and the Colorado Convention Center. But after meeting her partner, they committed to the city they loved, Colorado Springs.
Having worked in the hospitality community in the Springs for nearly a decade, Ashley is eager to help members discover this beautiful city. Want to eat somewhere special? Ashley is an avid foodie and can recommend many area restaurants. While this Director loves to travel, she has many hobbies to keep her close to home. She loves hiking, her dogs Mia and Milo, her Peloton, weekend sleepovers with her nieces and nephews, photography, social media, and making natural bath and beauty products. Interested in making soy candles? Let Ashley show you how!
