Arlen Lanham, an engineer and author, and an absolute Bon Vivant, runs an amazingly welcoming and friendly old Victorian house in the charming Old Colorado Town neighborhood. The breakfast alone, between the conversations, history, and wonderful food, makes the stay one which I really hope to repeat!

Great hostess and breakfast!

It is a lovely property, but shows its age. While it was generally clean, the bathroom rug and baseboard were filthy. The outside and yard need a good cleaning. The breakfast was tasty, but didn't include protein or toast, and tended to be quite sweet.

the house was beautiful and the bed was very comfortable. Arlene's breakfast tales were entertaining and educational. Love the neighborhood cats. so sweet. Met some really nice people from England and Scotland. Would go back.

There was no one there at check in and no one there other than breakfast. One or two other guests at any time. We stay at bed and breakfast and not at a hotel for the conversations, recommendations and personal touch an owner gives. My understanding was the owner was on vacation. I would have preferred to know this before booking. It was a beautiful Victorian home.

We were told someone pretending to know me took the key. We will not be staying here.

Arlene is a wonderful host. Hearing the history of the B&B and the personal history of the owner, Arlene, was a highlight.

There were many things to like about this property: it has a great location, it's beautiful, it was quiet, and the breakfast was very tasty. However, the bed was extremely uncomfortable and the hostess insists on joining breakfast and dominating the conversation. I'm not sorry we went, but we won't be back.

Our host was lovely but the B&B wasn't a good fit for us. We wanted a place close to walking distance from Old Colorado City and thought the B&B would be something outside the box. That is was but not for our taste. Our room was on the main floor across from the formal dining room. We were informed breakfast would be at 8am but we are early risers (5am) and had to catch a flight. We realize it's an old house but you could hear people walking outside our door due to the floors creaking. It could be a very nice place with some of the historical memorabilia put away. Needs to update all the lightbulbs, bed linens and pillows (with had to fold our 1 flat pillow in half to get comfortable). Include 4 pillows with each room. I think if you're into a community breakfast and love to stay in historical places, this would be for you. On the plus side, we love the 2 comical neighborhood cats greeting us at the property. I think one of them wanted to come home with us. Super cute!
