Here at Holden House, you will find three side-by-side Victorian homes, situated in a tree-lined residential area just one mile west of downtown Colorado Springs, one mile east of historic Old Colorado City and four miles from quaint Manitou Springs. Within our adjacent complex of three Victorian painted lady homes, we feature the turreted Main House, the Rose Victorian and the Carriage House, each with two separate and well-appointed suites. While the world of travel has changed with an increasing number of alternative overnight accommodations, you can be assured that Holden House is dedicated to maintaining the overall quality, hospitality and cleanliness in our traditional boutique-style inn, combined with a delicious gourmet breakfast served each morning.

It’s not easy to operate a small business, let alone run it successfully for decades.

These families have seen their adaptability and resiliency challenged as they navigated through the unthinkable but never lost their hospitable spirits along the way. More…
