🏡 Homes for Sale in Colorado Springs

Stepping into Holden House 1902 Bed & Breakfast Inn is like opening a storybook of Colorado Springs history. Since 1986, Sallie and Welling Clark have lovingly tended this trio of Victorian homes, creating a charming adults-only retreat that blends bygone charm with modern comfort.

Their journey began with a shared love for Colorado and a desire to create something special. Sallie, with her passion for antiques and warm hospitality, and Welling, seeking a new chapter after his Navy service, poured their hearts into transforming a historic 1902 Victorian home into the charming inn it is today. The Inn features six uniquely designed suites, each boasting modern comforts like private baths, TV’s and fireplaces, alongside the charm of antique furnishings and historical touches that whisper tales of the past.

The hallmark of Holden House is its tailored hospitality, where innkeepers share insider tips to help guests fully embrace the magic of the Pikes Peak Region. Additionally, Sallie's gourmet breakfasts get rave reviews, served in the elegant dining room or, for a romantic twist, in the privacy of your suite. Afternoon wine socials and 24-hour coffee service invite lingering conversations on wraparound porches.

For locals, Holden House is the perfect "staycation" escape. Its central location near Old Colorado City, Manitou Springs and Downtown Colorado Springs makes it ideal for rediscovering your own backyard or hosting out-of-town visitors. The Independence Suite even offers ADA-accessible accommodations, ensuring everyone can experience the warmth of a true bed and breakfast.

As Holden House enters its fourth decade, the Clarks' commitment to hospitality and community shines brighter than ever. Whether you're seeking a romantic getaway or a peaceful solo retreat, this local treasure promises to wrap you in history, comfort, and genuine care.
