The Dove Inn

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our night at the Dove Inn. The room was very "European" in that it was small and the bathroom facilities were "tucked in" to a small (but very adequate) space. We thought it was thoroughly delightful! The house is one of few remaining from Golden's early history and has been "updated" to very comfortable modern standards. Being less than a block from downtown Golden makes it perfectly located. We will definitely stay here again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The only downside for us, was the jacuzzi was difficult for us older folks to get in and out of. I did not realize there was a room with a hot tub. It might have been easier.

We stayed here for our 4th anniversary and it was a romantic getaway for both of us. Only issue was the streetside parking, since i could not do parallel parking.

Great little B&B in a very charming town. Right next to Colorado School of Mines, so very convenient for visiting prospective students and/or parents. Great food at the Sherpa Restaurant, also right up the street!

The bed was great and the bathroom was superior - especially the shower head, the abundant hot water and the excellent, efficient toilet. The closet was a tad small and it was lucky I brought everything on hangers.

This is a great location in Golden - within walking distance to the main street and attractions. The hosts were so very accommodating and friendly and the inn was warm and inviting.

We had a delightful time at the Dove Inn in Golden, CO. First time at a Bed & Breakfast and it was everything we hoped it would be. The room with the jacuzzi was great as was the breakfast in the morning. Love the little town of Golden with all it's unique and fun shops. We made another reservation for New Year's Eve. Can't wait to go back!

Very nice B&B, with good breakfasts and nice atmosphere. I had specific problems with wireless connection but other than that the service was great

We appreciate the fact that this guest brought the internet connection issues he was having to our attention as he was checking out. As a result, we had our IT guy upgrade our whole wireless system so it is much stronger and faster throughout the entire inn. We're always grateful to guests who bring any issues they might have to our attention so we have a chance to correct them and improve their experience at our inn.

- Bill and Annette (innkeepers)

My stay in US began in Dove Inn B&B. I sleeped in a beautiful room. Bill and Annette are very nice persons. They helped me to find everything I needed.

We really loved our 2 night stay at The Dove Inn. The house itself is just delightful....the room (Tyronne) was absolutely perfect! Wonderful breakfasts each morning worth getting up for. I would not hesitate to recommend this B&B to anyone looking for a small town Colorado getaway without the time/trouble of a trip to up Interstate 70. Beautiful little community - enjoyed walking to nearby restaurants for dinner and having nearby sandwich spot deliver lunch. Perfect retreat.

I have stayed at the Dove Inn a number of times. Each time the hosts, whether Bill and Annette or their temporary replacements Casey and Curt, are very friendly and helpful. The rooms are wonderful, especially when compared to what you get at a chain motel. It's more like staying with friends.

I stayed in Dove Inn for 2 weeks and felt very comfortable and home like. Cooked, warm, homemade breakfast always gives good start for the day!!! The owners of the B&B are very helpful in any questions about the sightseeing and shopping. I had a great time.

My stay could not have been more pleasant. Friendly service, clean rooms, great breakfast, simply perfect.

Bill and Annette are wonderful and are truly there to make your stay better. My friends and I were just coming in for a quick stay for a friend's wedding and they were more than accommodating, allowing us to check in early and even setting up an ironing board for us. In addition, the breakfast the next morning was AMAZING! Definitely a place worth staying when in Golden or the surrounding areas.

My husband and I were able to get away for a weekend in September. I chose the Dove Inn because of their reasonable prices (and military discount), delicious-looking breakfast menu, location, and the fact that two of the rooms had a Jacuzzi in them. We ordered the romance package and when we arrived, everything was beautiful! The roses have lasted a long time, too (two weeks later they are still blooming on my kitchen table as a reminder of our weekend getaway). The only complaint I have is that we didn't have a bottle opener for our sparkling cider. The local chocolates were delicious. Breakfast was very tasty both mornings and was accompanied by good conversation and service from the Innkeepers. Bill was very knowledgeable about the area. Our room was clean, the bath was wonderful, and we were able to borrow a movie to watch while we relaxed. The books, quilts, and stuffed bear made the room seem very homey. The Inn was a quiet getaway, just what we were looking for. Thank you!

Great stay at this lovely inn. Lots of room , friendly innkeepers and yummy breakfasts. Very convenient location as well.

What a fantastic place to stay. Bill and Annette are so nice and the breakfast meals were great.

Absolutely delightful inn. Innkeepers Bill an Annette were extremely good host and were most helpful and accomodating. We had a lovely room, the Tyrone room, which was a great value for the price. Bill even let my husband bring up a breakfast tray for me when I slept late!! Not all B &B ' provide such friendly and considerate service. We were very pleased with our stay, would definitely return, and we highly recommend this lovely inn and it's very special innkeepers!!

Very lovely property. Wonderful and friendly innkeepers. Would highly recommend.

My Husband and I were recently married and wanted a private getaway of sorts to enjoy a honeymoon. Hotels seemed somewhat ordinary and less than appealing, so we searched online and finally came across the Dove Inn. My husband and I cannot say enough great things about the Dove Inn-it was more than we could have hoped for. The room was spacious, comfortable with a homey feel, fresh water in water bottles every day, and a great balance of privacy as well as friendly interaction with guests and the Innkeepers, Bill and Annette. Bill and Annette were fantastic! Very courteous, willing to accommodate our needs, both have a great sense of humor, and just wonderful people to be around. They were very knowledgeable about the state of Colorado and gave us great tips on what would be great site-seeing. My husband and I are already talking about when we can go back to Golden, Colorado and to the Dove Inn, because we loved our stay so much. If you're going to Golden, the Dove Inn is the place to stay!

The Dove Inn was charming place to call 'home' for my vacation to CO. The accommodations, service, breakfast and location was perfect in every way. Many thanks to Bill and Annette!

Excellent stay, a low cost alternative for a stay in Golden and an excellent base for exploring the Denver area, minutes to downtown Denver with small town ambiance.

Great service, accommodations, and location. Will stay there again.

The Dove Inn provides comfortable accommodation and tasty breakfasts in a traditional Golden House complete with front porch. My room was clean and tidy with en suite toilet, sink and shower and air conditioning. Enjoyed breakfast conversations with other guests and hosts. Friendly and homely with lots of info on local amenities and attractions.

Was a wonderfull stay with a beautifull room. Everything was perfect, the owners were very nice and the breakfast was to die for! Would recommend for sure. Whether traveling or getting away for a bit it is well worth the money.

Perfect b&b to stay for our last holidaynight in the US, not to far located from Denver Airport. Very nice Innkeepers!

Bill and Annette were wonderful hosts and made sure every need was met. The room was wonderful with many small details to make it feel very warm and welcome. We will definitely stay there again when in Golden.

This was our second time at this B&B. Loved the gold queen suite. You'll not find cleaner rooms or more tasty breakfasts. The Lyttles were friendly & eager to make our stay a pleasant one. Golden's delightful, quaint downtown is just steps from the front door.

Though only there one night, Bill and Annette were wonderful hosts and very helpful and knowledgeable about the area. Annette's quilts are beautiful, their Inn is very clean and the breakfast was outstanding. We will definitely stay there again when in Golden! Roger & Rena', Bellevue, NE

I stayed here just for one night while enroute from Los Angeles to Frankfurt. It was worth the 45 minute drive from the airport. The Dove Inn represents what I think of when booking a B&B. It's a nice, quiet, comfortable respite from all the hustle and bustle in Denver. The owners, Bill and Annette, are very friendly and love to talk about travel. An excellent breakfast was served around a table at which I was able to meet the other guests. Although my stay was short, I hope to visit The Dove Inn again.

Had a great time and the service was fantastic. Highly recommend this b&b!!

Everything was wonderful during our stay. Annette was a huge help. It was our wedding day and things kept putting us behind. Annette was very understanding.

Convience and comfort of home without having to worry about cooking and cleaning. Very livable place, not a museum like many others.Well placed in town easy to make a pit stop to rest or pick up something you didn't want to carry withh you all day.

Very clean room and bathroom. It felt like home, not a soul-less hotel. The breakfasts were outstanding. The neighborhood is near the downtown area of Golden, but far enough away from the noise and activity.

An annual treat for us, always friendly and a great Golden location

Bill and Annette were great hosts. They were helpful in suggesting places to dine in town and very friendly. The Dove Inn was a beautiful and convenient place to stay allowing us to walk to the town shops and restaurants.

Bill and Annette go beyond the norm to help with your free time and travel plans. We just feel comfortable there! Been there before and will be back again and again.

Bill & Annette were super helpful with activity suggestions and directions for the most scenic routes to get there. They wonderfully accommodated my food allergy without compromising a tasty breakfast. For our Southwest flight home, they even checked us in and printed our boarding passes so we could be in the first boarding group. Thanks for an outstanding stay!

Picturesque home in pleasant town. Large rooms, clean, decorative, and well-maintained. Delightful innkeepers--helpful and friendly but not intrusive. Hearty breakfasts.

We have stayed at this charming B&B four times. The hosts are delightful, the breakfasts are great, and the rooms are lovely and very quiet, with views of the mountains.

We stayed at the Dove Inn last weekend and it was wonderful. Even though we weren't staying too far from home, we were completely relaxed when we left. Annette and Bill were wonderful and the food was great! We thoroughly enjoyed the cookies and the 2 person jetted tub too. We will recommend this to anyone we know that wants to stay in Golden. It was outstanding!

Bill & Annette were especially helpful with all our questions and needs. Loved our two days with them.

Totally enjoyed our one night stay at the Dove Inn. Only a block from downtown Golden and many restaurants. Room was spacious, clean and very comfortable. Our breakfast was deliscious and the innkeepers were extremely welcoming and helped with alternative driving directions. Would definitely stay again.

Wonderful place and a nice break from chain hotels for a busy road warrior. Nice folks, quiet but friendly place, great breakfast. Excellent customer care! Will return next time I am in the Golden area.

Innkeepers were very nice and helpful. They were also very accomodating with my diet restrictions. Rooms were very clean and quiet. Great place and I will stay here in the future when visiting Golden.

Stayed for 3 nights in March of 2011 and had a very good experience. This was my third stay at the Dove Inn and I have always been pleased. The inn is kept very clean and has a nice atmoshpere. It is located well within Golden and the inn keepers are very knowledgable about the restraunts and attactions in the area.

We live in a Denver suburb and just needed a weekend getaway. We were thrilled with our stay at the Dove Inn. Golden feels like a little mountain town and the city has done a great job making it feel welcoming, attractive, and historically interesting. The Dove Inn was cute and comfortable, the food was good, and Bill and Annette were great. We are definitely going back and have already given a referral, less than a week after our stay.

Great location for our visit at School of Mines...food was wonderful. I would stay there again.

This was our first time to stay in Golden. The owners/hosts, Bill and Annette, were great! The breakfast was very good. We had a wonderful time visiting with Bill and Annette and the other guests over breakfast. Bill also provided a good suggestion for dinner. If we stay overnight in Golden again, we'll definitely be back.

We enjoyed it. It was quiet, clean and we were were very comfortable. The inkeepers were very friendly and we just had a great time!

This was our second time at the Dove Inn. It is a perfect quick getaway for us and everything was perfect.

The breakfast is incredible with a great variety each day. The inn is quiet and peaceful. Overall this was a very positive experience.

The Dove Inn was an exceedingly pleasant option for my stay in Golden. Bill and Annette have a fantastic house and were great hosts and very accommodating to my fussy health food habits. This will definitely become my home on any future trips to Golden.

We have stayed at the Dove Inn many times, have a favorite room, and the hosts are wonderful. It is a good value, wonderful food, very comfortable. I would highly recommend it!

The breakfasts are good, though the coffee was too weak for my taste.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
We appreciate this guest's kind words and the opportunity to talk about our coffee. We use Boyer's (a local coffee company) Breakfast Blend, which is a flavorful medium-bodied coffee. Most of our guests enjoy it, but we understand that it will not be strong enough for some. For those who prefer dark roast or espresso, our wonderful local coffee shop, Higher Grounds, is half a block away.

Bill and Annette are terrific hosts. I have visited twice and enjoyed each stay. This time, I stayed in the Tyrone room-- this room is at the front of the house on the second floor, with a nice bay window sitting area. The lavatory/toilet is separate from the shower, which I also liked. The food is good and gave me a lot of energy for the day.

My staying was very comfortable because there was like a home.

Quaint western cottage built in the 1880's. Very accomodating innkeepers - made late check-in very easy and provided excellent directions for keys and parking. Room was clean and very attractice in an old-fashioned way.

It is always a pleasure to come bake at the end of a work day to a place that feels like home.

We stayed at the Dove Inn while spending Thanksgiving with our children in Golden. Extra touches such as filled water bottles were much appreciated. Breakfasts were spectacular, we enjoyed every aspect of our stay.

The boss is very kind.Give us some help and advice.The Service exceeded my expectations.The breakfast is delicious.The rate of the performance to the price is high.We are satisfying.I will recommended my friends for the hotel if they go to the GOLDEN.

We stayed in the Yankee Girl room--It was cozy, quiet and restful. The homemade quilt on the bed is both warm and pretty. The free wi-fi and coffeemaker in the room was a nice bonus. In the morning, we had a delicious breakfast that included fresh berries and a sort of breakfast casserole with eggs and cheese. It was just lovely and we will be back again!

Bill and Annette were wonderful about letting me check in early. Bill also answered my many questions about the best way to walk to Colorado School of Mines in regards to safety of the route and how well lit the route was. Both breakfasts were very good, too.

A very nice B&B. The owners treat you like family and the mattresses are very comfortable! Close to Colorado School of Mines.

The Dove Inn is a wonderful place to stay while in Golden with friendly hosts, good food and great service. The room was spotless, the internet worked flawlessly and everything was within walking distance. When I departed I left behind a coat and the innkeepers contacted me within hours to ask me what to do about it. Definitely recommended as a place to stay.

nice stay in a well-done old home. steep stairs if that's an issue for you. breakfast was a bit too creative for us. very cordial inkeepers and good service. convenient to actitivities. parking on the street only

After several nights spent in some standard (but already very comfortable)rooms, we were offered a fee upgrading and finished our stay in a fantastic suite with Jacuzzi... an ideal way of concluding our holidays in GOLDEN.

We had a great time a the Dove Inn. The hosts are friendly and accomodating and were genuinely interested in our activities. The Inn is very nice and the bed was super comfy! I loved the wonderful quilt on the bed. A great experience overall!

The Dove Inn was very quiet and restful, and we had a great time. Bill and Annette were very nice and helpful. We left early one morning to visit Pike's Peak and they made us a breakfast to-go.

Location: Can't beat it! Literally just a 3 minute easy walk to downtown Golden which features restaurants, shopping, farmers market, visitor's center, etc. From Boulder or Denver it's an easy and quick drive to Golden and makes for a perfect launch point if you're headed West, as we were. Parking: Street parking, but there's ample space and the street is quiet. We arrived late at night and had absolutely no problems finding parking. Just outside the B&B the parking is unlimited in terms of # of hours you can be parked in the same spot. Service: Bill & Annette are a lovely couple with warm personalities. In the morning they make and serve you a delicious breakfast (menu changes) and are very engaging in conversation. They know a lot about Golden, Colorado at large, and are full of helpful tips and suggestions! Room: We stayed in the Gold Queen Suite and it was cute and cozy. Bright natural light, a high vaulted ceiling, modern bathroom, and most importantly pristine cleanliness! The towels were wonderful too - thick & smelled like they were just out of the dryer :)

Great roomand wonderful service. I have stayed elsewhere at twice the price and was much less satisfied. This place is one of the best vlues I have ever had in a B&B.

My wife and I stayed here for a much needed break from jobs, family, kids etc. We live in Lakewood and only had about 24 hours, so decided to stay close to home rather than drive for hours. The Dove Inn was perfect. We had great choices for Dinner, the breakfast was excellent, and Bill and Annette are wonderful. The room was perfect, the huge tub was a big hit with the wife and there was plenty of room. All in all, the only thing we would have asked for was more time there, but reality called and we had to leave in the morning. Thanks Bill and Annette for a wonderful stay at your beautiful Inn.

My husband and I stayed at The Dove Inn for the first time. This is a delightful place to get away from it all but still be in the "city". They have so many ammenities, it's just better to know that practically anything you need, they can accomodate your request. The rooms are very stylish and they have many classic & antique pieces of furniture and fixtures thoughout the property. The breakfasts are outrageously delicious. You can tell that Bill and Annette have gone to a lot of trouble to be sure that everyone is comfortable. It's very quiet on the property and it was very truly relaxing. They treat every guest as though they are the only guest staying with them. The Inn was booked the entire time we were there. Do yourself a favor and call for some R&R time. We will definately come back!

My husband and I stayed here for our anniversary last year. Overall it was a nice house with lots of charm. The architecture is true to the time period in which the house was built. So the rooms are not huge, and our bathroom was pretty tiny. The Owners were very gracious and helpful though, and the breakfast was wonderful. The location is just outside the main of the city, and most things are within walking distance. If you're looking for a large spacious room with modern ammenities, this is not the Inn for you. But if you're looking for a quiet weekend of R&R, and appreciate some character and history you'll enjoy your stay here.

Of our eight rooms, three that are in the original 1868 part of the house are, indeed, small with small bathrooms. Two other rooms in the older part of the house are larger, with small sitting areas and larger baths. However, our three suites in the 1998 addition to the house are very large with spacious sitting areas, and two of them have two-person jacuzzi tubs. So we do have "large spacious rooms with modern amenities"; these guests obviously stayed in one of our smallest and most inexpensive rooms and based their review on that stay without considering our other offerings. While we appreciate their positive review of their stay in our home and of our hospitality, we just wanted to set the record straight on the extent of our room offerings.
