Blue Skies Inn Bed & Breakfast located in Manitou Springs, a small mountain town nestled at the base of Pikes Peak in the Colorado Rocky Mountains offers pampering hospitality, spacious suites and memorable breakfasts at a reasonable rate and in a beautiful setting.

Built by an artist/craftsman, Blue Skies Inn bed and breakfast was designed to complement the elegant 1873 structures at Briarhurst, the historic estate of the founder of Manitou Springs. The Inn's 450 square-foot suites are designed for an in-suite breakfast, but every suite also has a microwave and fridge, so you can stock up on lunch and dinner groceries and "fix your own" rather than depend on restaurants. Tell us what dishes you need, and you're set! Breakfast is a special experience here. Every suite has a private sitting room in which to dine. A delicious full, hot breakfast is served to you in our Secret Garden or delivered to the door of your suite in a picnic basket.

The grounds of Blue Skies Inn feature lawns, lush flower gardens, a charming gazebo with hot tub, and rushing waterfall. While red rock hillsides covered with hundred year-old scrub oak saw Ute Indians camping here in prehistoric times, today visitors relax and enjoy this serene setting. The shady Woodland Garden and Waterfall Garden has provided romantic settings for many weddings and elopements. The giant outdoor hot tub in a charming gazebo lets you soak to complete relaxation while viewing the mountains and starlit Colorado sky.

Towering willows and cottonwoods grow on the shady banks of Fountain Creek, the year round stream (full of fish!) flows through the site. Downtown Manitou Springs, with its charming shops and Victorian architecture, is an easy stroll - just two blocks away.

Blue Skies Inn is located just west of Colorado Springs and are near to Denver, Canon City and Pueblo.

Nestled in the foothills of Pikes Peak, at the heart of Colorado recreation, The Inn has good access to river rafting, mountain hiking, unusual shopping centers and all of the terrain and sights that characterize the Colorado experience. Within half a mile of Blue Skies Inn, you will find Garden of the Gods, Pikes Peak Cog Railway, Cave of the Winds and the Manitou Cliff Dwellings. White-water river rafting in Buena Vista, Canon City and the Royal Gorge is an hour's drive.

Blue Skies Inn is especially well suited to provide lodging for visiting parents and relatives of Colorado College students and United States Air Force Academy cadets because many of our spacious suites have two or more beds.
