Colorado Springs, CO- This year on June 9, 2011, HoldenHouse 1902 Bed & Breakfast Inn celebrated its 25th Silver Anniversary of guest service in the B&B industry.  An appropriate anniversary designation for an inn that has itself, received designation for the “Best Bed & Breakfast Inn for an Anniversary” by Arrington’s Inn Traveler Magazine.

Holden House was established in 1986
as the first B&B on the historic Westside

When asked what has allowed the Clarks to continue in the B&B innkeeping business, Sallie Clark says, “We’ve learned to adapt to the changing needs of the tourism and bed and breakfast industry while balancing our personal lives by employing a competent and dedicated innkeeping staff. The love of our community and sharing the Pikes Peak region with guests instills in us a continued appreciation for Colorado Springs”.
