Innkeepers

  • Innkeeper(s): John Buchanan
    Being a 7th generation Colorado native, and having family from and in all parts of Colorado, I am naturally interested in many areas of western culture and history. I consider it as a personel mission to perserve as much Colorado and early western history as possible. The John Walters House is an epic in itself, in Colorado History. Built by a pioneer in 1886, it has been restored to its former glory, and represents Colorado history at it's best!
  • The innkeepers speak: English, Spanish
  • There is one dog on the property
  • Other pet(s) on the property: Koi
