Lovely stay!
This is a lovely old property. We enjoyed drinks and a bite on the veranda at dusk, thoroughly appreciating the beautiful mountains/pikes peak. Valet parking is very reasonable and we were able to walk to all of the shops and attractions on the main street in town, which was very convenient.
