Brook Forest Inn


  • Inn Details

    Nestled in the Rockies 33 miles west of Denver, the Brook Forest Inn is a grand historic bed-and-breakfast adventure that has been reborn. Originally homesteaded by the Westerfields in 1909 and then taken over in 1913 by the Welzs, the Brook Forest Inn has been completely restored to its original stately structure. With unsurpassed furnishings, antiques, fine art and world-class amenities, the staff at the Brook Forest Inn pays close attention to their guests, pampering them in every way. The Historic Brook Forest Inn, in its early days, was known as the elite destination by many Denverites. They often traveled the thirty-five miles by horse and buggy. Some of the elite included President Theodore Roosevelt, Liberace, the unsinkable Molly Brown and many others.

    my husband and i took a break from Denver and found the B&B a great place to let off some steam and ease into the quiet. unbeknownst to us, a live band usually plays every Friday in the dance hall/common room. the room i had requested was over the dance area but the staff was so accommodating. we ended up with a more expansive/romantic room for the same price that was on the third floor (mi amour room). then we could really enjoy our stay. instead of the more expensive fancy dining room, we opted to keep our costs down and headed to the bar. they actually have great bar food (they were once again accommodating about me being a vegan - had a nice grilled vege panini - no cheese, with fries and a fairly wide selection of wines by the glass). then the honky tonk band played well through the night - danceable and fun. we continued to play chess in the common room and then off to our big room with the gigantic jacuzzi tub. our room was a little cold, but only because they opened it up just for us that night. so, all in all, getting to be childless and fancy free for a night in the mountains within 30mins of the city was more than we expected. For less than $200 for drinks, room, food, i would absolutely recommend it to my friends (just know it is situated right on S Forest Rd - so expect traffic noise until 9pm - just FYI)

    My husband and I spent a weekend at the Inn as a getaway from the city immediately following our wedding. I felt the Inn was impressive and exactly what we were looking for. The furnishings were very Victorian and chic. The staff was extremely professional and made us feel very welcome. The food was fantastic and portions were huge! If you are looking for a getaway from the City and don't want to go too far, the Brook Forest Inn has it all.

    This is a really neat, historic inn in a beautiful area. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The pub was a great place for a beer and the food was decent. I'd be excited to go back when the upscale dining room was open (Weds-Sat).

    The folks employed at the Brook Forest Inn are all terrific and made us feel at home, however there was no housekeeping service in our room during our stay. We may look for other lodging in the area the next time we visit.
