Who would have thought that when Sallie and Welling Clark turned the corner in 1985 to see the abandoned house on the corner of West Pikes Peak Avenue, they would still be running an award-winning bed and breakfast today and celebrating 38 years of continuous operation on June 9. After honeymooning in Colorado in 1980 and with Sallie’s family roots in Colorado where she spent time on her Grandmother’s farm in Pueblo every summer, the Clarks developed a love for the trails, parks, open spaces, mountains and culture that Colorado Springs offered. At the time, the nearby historic district known as “Old Colorado City”, so named because of its designation as the first territorial capital in 1859, had received a revitalization thanks to the City of Colorado Springs economic redevelopment efforts. The Clarks recognized the potential opportunity of the area with shops and restaurants nearby and were on the ground floor to establish the city’s first Westside bed and breakfast inn. Looking to start a small-business when Welling left the Navy, Colorado Springs was the perfect fit. [READ MORE...]

Drive it: The new timed-entry reservation system is designed to make your experience more enjoyable, reduce your wait in line, and ensure there is available parking as you drive the highway. Guests will have a two-hour window to arrive at the Gateway. Reservations are $2 per vehicle. Reservations are non-refundable, however you may request to reschedule your reservation provided there is availability.
*Holden House tip: Book a mid-morning reservation for the best views as afternoon rain showers and clouds are common. Take a jacket and wear long pants as temperatures, even in summer, can dip into the 30's and 40's!
Another 5 Bubble Tripadvisor Review! "Beautiful and Safe" Another great visit to Holden House. Loved the quaint, safe, clean and so welcoming and we can’t say that about all places we stay. The breakfast was exceptional so make sure you make adequate time to enjoy in the morning. Like that off street parking is close to your room to make packing easy. You can tell this is a privately owned business.
Islander Baked French Toast is just one of our Holden House specialties
you may experience when you stay with us
Built in 1902 by Mrs. Isabel Holden, the widow of a prosperous Colorado Springs businessman, the Holden House is a lovely Victorian inn featuring three adjacent homes decorated with family heirlooms and elegant antiques. We're located on a quiet tree-lined residential street, just a mile from downtown, near historic Old Colorado City and just a few minutes from quaint Manitou Springs.

We have consistently been selected as a "Best of the Springs" award recipient in The Colorado Springs Gazette and Travelers' Choice Award from Tripadvisor!
