Arbor House Inn B&B on the River - This award-winning, five-bedroom bed and breakfast inn in beautiful Southern Colorado offers elite mountain elegance, unparalleled service and delicious gourmet breakfasts. Whether it’s a mountain elopement, anniversary or birthday celebration, a getaway with friends or a quick pass through, they are delighted to share a bit of Colorado mountain hospitality and to provide an exceptional travel experience for each and every guest.
Near Wolf Creek ski area and tucked in the shadow of massive, stone cliffs, this riverfront bed & breakfast sits on three acres with over 400 feet of accessible river that bids its guests to kick back, relax and enjoy the natural beauty of the Colorado Rocky Mountains. Take in the magnificent mountain views in the great outdoors over a morning cup of coffee or an evening glass of wine. Favorite spots include the backyard party deck with canopied hot tub, benches beneath a rustic log  arbor, any of three fire pits, and several secluded riverside sitting areas. There are plenty of spots to snuggle in and cozy up!
If for some reason if you can’t find innkeeper Laurie Bratton, check the greenhouse. Located on the three acre property, the big dome is tucked behind the garage and the secret to the gourmet breakfasts at the Arbor House Inn Bed & Breakfast on the River. In the dome can be found fresh spices such as thyme, oregano and chives. Green spinach, cherry tomatoes as sweet as candy, and cilantro are staples at the B&B greenhouse. With roots in interior design, Laurie is constantly coming up with ideas and projects that Keith heroically somehow manages to bring to life. On the property you’ll find hummingbirds vying for the best breakfast and lunch spot in friendly competition.
