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, only a mile from downtown, near historic "Old Colorado City" and just a few minutes from Manitou Springs.

We also offer 24 hour coffee/tea service and our famous "bottomless cookie jar" in addition to our afternoon wine social served between 5-7 p.m. each evening. Our full gourmet breakfast includes fresh fruit, freshly baked muffins and a main gourmet entree which includes one of our award-winning signature dishes such as German Puff Pancakes with Spiced Apples, Southwestern Eggs Fiesta, Ruffled Crepes Isabel or one of our many specialty recipes. We're happy to adapt to special dietary needs if notified in advance.
