INN THE SPOTLIGHT:  Member Happenings & Kudos!A Hearty Welcome to Colorado B&Bs
 

 
Here's why BBIC's authentic B&Bs are the best choice to stay when traveling to Colorado
 
Bubblelicious Waffles with Bananas from Capitol Hill Mansion
 
Bubblelicious Waffles with Bananas are just one reason to stay at this award-winning boutique-style bed and breakfast in Denver. 
 
Nestled in the quaint Capitol Hill Neighborhood of downtown Denver, this romantic Bed and Breakfast is a Colorado and National Historic Landmark and is just a short walk from everything in the Mile-High City, including attractions, gourmet restaurants, theaters, museums and shopping.
 
Built in 1891, the gorgeous ruby sandstone mansion is located on Denver’s famous “Millionaires Row,” just a block from the mansion immortalized in folklore -- the home of “Unsinkable Molly Brown.” This was Denver’s original upscale neighborhood. The homes here feature a variety of classical architectural styles, each with its own flamboyant and whimsical touches such as turrets, spires, and porches. Eight elegantly appointed rooms and suites offer turn-of-the-century opulence with modern day flair.
 

 
Can't beat Pikes Peak Paradise' views
Pikes Peak Paradise - Woodland Park CO
Innkeepers Dane and Anne Marie were meant to be...
 
"We met at THE BEST campus in the land! THE Ohio State University. We have always talked about owning our own business, but we both went to school for other things. Because we had careers already planned out, we don’t know that we ever thought owning our own business would actually happen.
 
Fast forward 13ish years, a move across country, a few stabs at our originally scheduled careers and we still talked about our dream. Enter covid…where the whole world rethought their plans.
 
We decided to bet on ourselves, our work ethic, our fierce drive, and jump! It hasn’t been easy…AT ALL, but we know we are doing the right thing!
 
That’s why we wanted to say THANK YOU! If you have supported us in ANYWAY, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Each like, comment, share, review, visit, and purchase does NOT go unnoticed. Our success is 100% because of you and we appreciate that beyond measurement."

Fresh fruit compote from the Bross Hotel in Paonia
 
Fresh ingredients with your breakfast is a highlight at this beautiful B&B in this small Western Slope town.
 
Established in Paonia in 1906, the Bross Hotel Bed & Breakfast is a beautiful historic Inn on Colorado’s stunning western slope. Its graceful early 20th century architecture, second story balcony, and rocking chairs on the front porch invite guests to enjoy the shade of the large cottonwood trees in the front yard. Beyond the entry parlor is the sun-filled dining room with its large bay window and elegant antique back bar.
 
Upstairs, all 10 guest rooms feature private baths, comfortable bedding, unique furnishings, and wireless 5G internet.  An outdoor hot tub invites you to soak under the Valley’s legendary night skies. Innkeepers Suzanne Tripp and Mike Yengling bring the perfect skillset to the hotel.  Suzanne is a historical architect by training with a background in baking and a lifelong love of cooking. Mike has a background in historic preservation and brings a jack-of-all-trades mentality and loves to pass on local knowledge, be it a hike, bike ride, scenic attraction, or offbeat culinary find.
 
The Bross Hotel is located just one block from Paonia’s main business street, Grand Avenue, which allows guests to walk to entertainment venues, shopping, theater, and restaurants.

Claremont Inn & Winery romance specials
Claremont Inn & Winery - Stratton CO
 
You will feel pampered from the moment you arrive at the Claremont Inn & Winery. Your Innkeeper for the evening will take you to your room and show you all of the things you’ll have to make your stay memorable. It is always fun to take a look around the inn and check everything out. Maybe along the way you will want to stop at the theatre room to select your movie for later viewing. It is always fun to take a walking tour around the grounds. 
 
After you’re settled into your room there is time for a leisurely soak in your private whirlpool bath or maybe a nap. You’re not on a schedule anymore.
 
The Claremont Inn & Winery, first known as the Claremont Inn, had their first guests in September of 1995 and has continued to operate and grow under Dave Dischner's watchful eye.
