Imagine two storybook Victorian homes and an original carriage house filled with antiques and family heirlooms. In 1902, Mrs. Isabel Holden, the widow of former rancher and prosperous Colorado Springs businessman Daniel M. Holden, built this Colonial Revival Victorian and carriage house. The Holdens owned considerable mining interests in the Colorado towns of Aspen, Cripple Creek, Goldfield, Silverton and Independence for which the five spacious guest suites are named. The memories of Isabel and her family live on today in Holden House. The inn is centrally located on a quiet tree-lined residential street, convenient to downtown, near historic "Old Colorado City" and just a few minutes from quaint Manitou Springs.
