ALLENSPARK LODGE B&B

When our kids were younger, Bill and I decided that "someday, when the kids are out of the house", we were going to buy a place in the mountains and get horses! ‘Some day' finally came; the youngest of our four was almost finished with high school and we were ‘done' with the computer world we worked and lived in. We wanted a simpler way of life; slower pace, less stress, more outdoors. We talked to a realtor in Estes Park, explaining we wanted something preferably made of log, the older, the better… We didn't get to say much more as she got all excited. "I've got the perfect place!!!"... We walked into the lodge and fell in love instantly. In December of 1997 we moved in. Since it was a little ‘large' for a single family home and we still needed an income, we made the choice to operate as a bed and breakfast - and had NO clue what we were doing. As it turned out, we have totally loved the lifestyle, including getting to know people from all over the world, living in such a wonderland..
