Sandee is the Innkeeper and guide to the area's wide range of attractions, while Buzz manages the business.

Before he would realize his dream, however, he served for 22 years in the Air Force, and retired as a Lt. Colonel in 1988. During this time he also married and helped raise 3 daughters, while enjoying world travel. In 1997, the dream was reborn when Buzz and Sandee moved to Colorado Springs. Once there, the family knew that MonumRogers Inn the Pines breakfastent, CO would be the perfect place to build Rogers Inn the Pines, their bed and breakfast haven. The Inn pricing is all inclusive - offering all complimentary amenities to make your Colorado stay more enjoyable, whether to enjoy a short relaxing vacation getaway, work or to participate in family reunion.

Dave and Kim Wolinski at Old Town GuestHouse in Colorado Springs, shared a special post when recent guests created and gifted a sketch of the inn during their stay. Said Kim, "We had a wonderful couple stay with us this past week, Mark & Jennifer Nassi from Arvada. Mark takes joy in sketching places they visit. He honored us at Old Town GuestHouse with this amazing piece of art! What a great way to share our property instead of a usual photo."

Lemony Blueberry Baked French Toast
This delicious morning B&B treat combines fresh blueberries with a hint of lemon and is the perfect recipe addition to any breakfast or brunch table.
Ingredients:
Butter, for coating pan
6 eggs
1 ½ cups whole milk
¼ cup heavy cream
4 oz. cream cheese (room temperature) or substitute low fat cream cheese
1 tsp of sugar
2 tsp lemon zest
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp salt
1 16-oz. French Bread loaf cut into 1.5 inch chunks
1 ½ cups blueberries
Powdered sugar and maple syrup (for serving)
Directions:
Butter a 9×13 inch baking dish or individual serving dishes (we use oval rarebit dishes and serve individually)
In a large bowl, beat together eggs, milk, cream, cream cheese, sugar, lemon zest, vanilla and salt. The batter will be slightly lumpy from the cream cheese.
Add bread to the bettered baking dish and pour egg mixture over the top. Press the bread down to ensure it is fully covered with the liquid. Stir in blueberries. Cover with foil and refrigerate at least two hours or overnight.
Remove the casserole from the fridge and let stand at room temperature for 25 minutes prior to baking. Heat oven to 350 or 375 degrees at high altitude.
Bake, covered with foil for 30 minutes and then uncover and bake for 20 minutes more. Serve sprinkled with powdered sugar and serve with maple syrup. Garnish with dollop of whipped cream, sprig of parsley and fresh fruit or edible flowers. Add a side of scrambled eggs and ham if desired. Enjoy!
