Blue Skies INN
Property # 8988


Property Description
Blue Skies INN is strategically situated in Manitou Springs, a small mountain city nestled at the base of Pikes Peak. Our inn is isolated from the hustle and bustle of cosmopolitan Colorado Springs but has easy access to the entire Denver-Colorado Springs-Pueblo metroplex. Our city was founded in 1873 by Dr. William Bell who established a health resort centered around the city’s many artesian mineral springs. Manitou Springs still maintains that mystique of mountainous isolation and small-town charm.

Blue Skies INN is unique because it is located on the secluded estate called Briarhurst that the city’s founder built for his family in the heart of the city. Our inn is clustered around Dr. Bell's carriage house, while his handsome red stone mansion is now a five-star restaurant next door. Towering willows and cottonwoods grow along Fountain Creek which runs through the south side of our site, and beyond that leafy border lies historic downtown Manitou Springs. Our grounds feature lawns, flower gardens, a splashing waterfall, charming gazebo and a hillside covered with hundred year-old scrub oak.

The details of Blue Skies’ all-new construction match the Gothic Revival architecture of Dr. Bell's 1873 carriage house so well that guests are often at a loss to distinguish the original from our respectful reproduction. However, within our board-and-batten siding and Gothic windows, guests will find beautiful new suites, all painted and designed by an artist
