Welcome

This elegantly restored Victorian home presents a relaxing atmosphere of a bygone era. Nestled at the base of Pikes Peak, this exquisitely done home has been reconstructed to represent cordial living at its best. With antique light fixtures, stained glass windows, a resplendent crystal chandelier, surrounded by three floors of turned spindled staircases, this inn is a showcase of yesterdays' charm.

Surrounding the Inn is a stately wrought iron fence. The yard has been landscaped to intrigue the guests to explore the many flowers and shrubs which grace the rock ledges and gardens with their fragrance and beauty.

Amenities



After the luggage has been packed away and the treasures of your room have been surveyed, it is time to peruse the rest of the inn. Ambling down the staircase, through the marble floored foyer and into the formal dining room, you're invited to settle down in the kitchen where all join into coffee, cakes or cookies.

Gazebo
Gardens & Gazebo

This is a time to relax and reminisce the bygone years of Grandma's kitchen, where all gathered amidst the aroma of baking foods and the love of caring people.

Next one may want to step out the front porch and walk the stone pathway through a bed of flowers and rose gardens, with many carved bears, who are also observing the view! Then you will want to sit in the gazebo with the one you are with, along with your favorite drink, and reminisce all the good times you have had, and the ones still to come.

Your bed and breakfast experience will include a full three-course breakfast that is a sensory culinary delight, including fruit dishes, egg souffles and freshly baked breakfast cakes.


 

 



History

This stately three-story home was built in the late 1800's. A letter found in the attic revealed that its first family was in the cattle business.

May 22, 1885

My Darling Addie,
The boys and I are going to start the round up this afternoon. I am not going to Pueblo as I thought but will go into Fountain in a day or two.

I am your loving,
Ernest

 
This home was moved from its former location in Colorado Springs to its present location in Old Colorado City and lovingly restored by Brian Peters and family to its original beauty. Today Sharen and Leo Janzen are continuing the dream to open this magnificent home to you for a bed and breakfast inn.

Activities

Spurs and Lace is the perfect spot to spend an anniversary, a birthday, a honeymoon or any other special time. Whatever brings you to the Pikes Peak Region, Spurs and Lace Bed and Breakfast is a perfect home base. We are located just three blocks from the heart of Old Colorado City. Our guests can easily walk to nearby restaurants, boutiques and historical sites.

Rooms

Spurs and Lace has five winsome bedrooms available to its guests. Each room has a queen-size bed and a private bath. We have chosen here at Spurs and Lace to return to a day much simpler than our world of high-tec. A day when you visited with the one you are walking through life with, when you read a book, took a walk, looked at flowers, or simply sat in a chair and reminisced the events of your life. Therefore you will find no TVs in our rooms -- only the richness and warmth of a room that will lend itself to the renewing of you and the relationship of the one you are with.

The Sunflower Room has two soft swivel rocking chairs, a floor lamp with Victorian shade, large oak dresser and mirror with lamp and a vase of silk sunflowers. There is a basket of books for your reading enjoyment, and on the wall is an ail painting of a little girl holding sunflowers (done by Helen Pelton, a local famed artist).

The Victorian Rose Room has two rose colored swivel rocking chairs with a cherry wood coffee table. On the table is a hand-painted chimney lamp, two slender figurines denoting the turn of the century, and a picture album showing family history. The cherry wood dresser and four-post cherry wood bed are a stunning accent to this room. The bath has a luxurious tub-for-two with a marble surround, sink and tool.   

The Durango Room is a man's kind of room! The pictures on the wall include two beautiful oil painted scenes, by Helen Pelton, along with a picture of Clint Eastwood, boots, wolves, a horse in a stable, and an Indian love scene. An old guitar is hanging on the wall waiting to be played and beside it is my grandfather's writing desk with a fold down desktop -- a place to write to those friends and relatives you have neglected for years. There are two gliding rockers with gliding footstools. The room has a four post oak bed and the bath has a tub and shower, sink and stool.   

The Mountain View Room, as the name suggests, has the best view of the mountains and is totally surrounded by windows. This room is used mainly by honeymoon couples and people celebrating anniversaries, although Bobby Unser and the lovely Lisa Burchette, along with many, many others chose this room. It has a dining-for-two area and two very comfortable recliners facing a cherry wood fireplace. Next to the fireplace is a door leading to your own private second floor balcony. Also in the room are cherry wood end tables and a coffee table. A cherry wood dresser, with a lamp and turn of the century figurines is in one corner, the four post cherry wood bed with a gold colored spread is on the other. The bath is large (10'x10'), has a new flooring that looks like old knotty wood, a tub for two with a marble surround and a shower, a closet, pedestal sink, and a stool.
