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.
 What our guests say on Tripadvisor (October 2021) 5 out of 5 Bubble Rating!
Victorian Retreat: "This is a lovely little gem, in the Old Colorado City area of Colorado Springs. The owner and staff were all exceptionally cordial and friendly. We loved the charm of the old Victorian buildings, filled with antiques and collectibles. The sit down breakfast was first rate. If you are looking for a relaxing stay, in a beautiful old home, this is a great find. Thanks for a lovely visit. We will be back."
