You know those unbelievable old mansions you see every now and then in certain cities? And you wonder what they're like inside or who built them, if it's still the same or has it changed functions of fallen into disrepair, etc until you drive past the next one. This is your chance to explore one of them and the hosts are happy to share the history of both Denver and the castle! Lots of our local friends knew the house and were surprised to learn it was a bed and breakfast. (If I were local, I would make a point to stay.) It's like sleeping over in a museum time machine--which I can say is a dream of mine. Castle Marne is totally unique and delightful. It's an absolute treasure and it owes everything to the Peiker family, who have been operating the b&b for the last 30 years and who restored the entire house and property--there's a photo album to prove it if you're still not impressed. Our group stayed in 2 rooms: The Tower and one downstairs whose name I already forgot. Both were beautifully decorated with detail and respect for the home's Victorian roots. The property is immaculately landscaped so every window had a great view and soft light filtered through large trees. The rooms were spotless and everyone had a little extra space. We learned The Tower was originally an open porch area for the third floor ballroom! Our second room was added in the 1930s and felt like it's own apartment--with a separate porch and entry door very convenient for people like myself who forget things and have to go back inside 3-4 times before actually leaving. Delicious, healthy breakfast is served in the dining room with the other guests. Our hosts made bread, muffins, and fresh jam from scratch!! They were happy to accommodate one vegan diet as well. I could keep going but all you need to know is THIS PLACE IS SPECIAL and I am so grateful for the opportunity to stay here! #badcopbadcop #castlemarne read more

We stayed with our two young kids. The bedroom has a sliding barn door is "temperamental" and can fall off its tracks. Our 5-year-old got trapped. I called both hosts and was sent directly to voicemail. About 20 minutes later they finally texted back and told me to "lift the door up and it will roll to the right" When I followed that, the heavy door came off its track and crashed to the floor. It missed my child by maybe a foot. By sheer luck my daughter wasn't killed. I should have called the police to get my kids out instead of listening to their terrible advice. I've attached screenshots as of text communication as proof. Afterward, the hosts posted an Airbnb review claiming I "berated" them and "splintered their priceless door." The attached text messages show them being apologetic in real time until they wrote their public review. I never berated anyone, but I should have. Other issues: - Strong noise and odor from ducks in a cage or pen next to the room - Front door opens directly into a parking lot where homeless people frequently loitered - Cleanliness below basic standards Bottom line: the door is a serious hazard. The hosts were slow to respond and gave advice that nearly caused a disaster. This place is not safe for kids. read more

A little family history -- My grandfather was one of several owners from the 1940s-1975 when it was an apartment building. He lived on the first floor with the turret, now the gathering room. I remember most of the tenants were females. The original carriage house served as his garage with many old license plates nailed to the walls. The top floor of the Marne used to be an attic with a large window above the stairs. And of course, the historic stained glass window finally got an acrylic cover to protect the bowing glass and lead. The Marne sat vacant for a several years after 1975 with a selling price of $200,000. Due to being vacant, the boiler blew with extensive water damage, paint was peeling with other structural damages. For a period of time, the Marne served as a processing center for previously incarcerated individuals. During that time, I took my 2 year old son on a self-directed tour to check up on the Marne. I sensed an unhealthy, sad and depressed atmosphere which was not what I remember in my childhood. Grandpa took good care of it for years. Five of us kids would play in the lobby, running up and down the wide stairs, sliding down the curved banister often breaking some of the original ornamental pieces, and creating a bit of noise. We called the basement the scary dungeon and often played hide and seek for hours. There are two family dogs buried to the right of the front porch. Also, my grandfather planted a tree upside down with the roots bearing leaves and limbs growing in the ground. The trunk kept curving towards to the ground as it seemed to know it was upside down. He added several supports to the trunk through the years to keep it from reversing itself. It was later removed when the Piker family bought it. According to the Pikers, there are a few spirits roaming around, but claimed they were friendly. Thanks to the Piker family for restoring it to its original cosmetic and purposeful glory as well as hosting many visitors in their B&B. Our family also thanks the current owners who are continuing to keep it alive and well. Back in the 90s, I stayed at the Marne as well as performing at the grand piano for a luncheon. So many amazing memories made in that lovely Castle. I hope you all have a chance to visit, stay, and enjoy an late1800s atmosphere. By the way, the architect, William Lang, also designed several other castles in the Capitol Hill area. You'll find they look similar to the Marne. Enjoy! Karen read more

Castle Marne - 7/2025 Night - Bed & Breakfast Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Impeccable venue with wonderfully warm and attentive hosts. The king size bedroom was quiet, gorgeous and spacious. The bathroom was to die for! Booked this room for my brother who was visiting from out of town. A respite in the middle of Denver. read more

Castle Marne - Castle Marne - Bed & Breakfast Near Me - Denver, Colorado

A stay at the Castle Marne is a front row look into Denver's earliest history, and I felt at home here before I even walked through the front door. A fascinating blend of both historical and modern comforts, much of the original elements have been beautifully preserved (from original woodwork, to pictures of each room on the main floor as they were over 100 years ago, allowing you to virtually and instantly travel in time), while there have also been much appreciated upgrades to the kitchen and all of the bathrooms - which feature unforgettable aromatherapy shower heads - an amazing surprise! The kitchen was fully loaded with non-alcoholic drinks (including oat milk for non-dairy friends) and snacks. It's also perfectly situated just a mile from downtown Denver not far from Colfax, another classic historic Denver element that has everything you could want (and more) including trendy bars and restaurants, a major pharmacy, and interesting shops. Do not miss this Denver gem! read more

I flew in from out of town to Denver with a group of girls for my best friend's bachelorette. I ended up hosting her Bridal Shower at Castle Marne, where we had a Tea Party / High Tea theme. I can't express how lovely the castle was both inside and out. The staff was very helpful with any questions my sister and I had while we were setting up. Unfortunately we were unable to use all of our decorations as the walls inside the castle are original so tape cannot be used (shame that we didn't know this before since the bride brought so much decor from out of state). In addition to the tea, there were several courses of food which was very good. I truly appreciate that they had vegan options. This was a perfect spot for my best friend's bridal shower, and I couldn't be happier with the result!! read more

The venue itself is beautiful - gorgeous old house renovated into a B&B. But there are some significant issues with this place. One: rooms in the winter are either hot as hell (radiator on) or freezing cold (radiator off). There is no middle ground. We had bloody noses all night and woke up in sweaty pools. Should've chosen radiator off, whoops! (Note: "radiator off" requires a wrench. Should you not have one in your suitcase, you are SOL when you get back from dinner at 10pm and there's no staff in sight.) Two, and please read carefully: THERE IS NO HOT BREAKFAST. The website is misleading. Though it says that there's a hot breakfast - a "chef's choice" - and photos of steaming plates with eggs, pancakes, and stuffed tomatoes with cheese, it's just not true. Over the course of a weekend, Sat and Sun, breakfasts were nonexistent. Both morning there were a few mini-muffins and tiny store-bought bagels, a handful of bruised strawberries and unripe green bananas, and a box of cereal from Safeway. (See photos.) You must be joking. We could have, and should have, stayed in any of the other nice hotels in Denver for less $$$. Who knew that we were supposed to call and confirm that the website was true. I totally understand wanting to save money, but don't mislead your guests. Buyer beware. Three: cleaning staff knocks on your door at 8am on weekends. And enters when you don't respond. This is supposed to be a romantic retreat for couples and honeymooners, y'all. WARNING TO GUESTS: If you happen to be sleeping at 8am, or naked in bed, or engaged in other activities, be prepared for a SURPRISE when a stranger walks in on you! TAH DAAAAHHHHH!!! read more

Castle Marne reminds me exactly of a castle home straight from Scotland. It is so beautiful inside and outside! Every detail has been preserved from the time it was built. I think one of the most beautiful features of the building is the large round stained glass window at the top of the staircase. I've never seen anything like it. We stayed in the Presidential Suite which we were told was the original master suite of the castle. It transported us back in time and we felt like a lord and lady of an estate. There was a sitting area in the room with windows that wrap around. The bathroom had a jacuzzi tub with comfy bathrobes included. This is the kind of place that you go when you really want to treat yourselves. I've never been anywhere like it. The neighborhood it is in is super cool also. It has a lot of local restaurants and shops within walking distance. It was also very close to The Streets of London Pub where we played a show at that night. There is also a Denver staple diner right down the street called Pete's Diner that had been there since the 1940s. If you are visiting Denver or maybe just want a staycation and are tired of staying in boring chain hotels I would highly recommend staying here! This place is a gem in the city of Denver. read more

This place is a pantheon of beauty. I had a chance to stay here last weekend with my girlfriend and it made for an absolutely gorgeous weekend. I was in town for business but since Denver is so close this place provided a nice working vacation to make my girlfriend the happiest she's been in a long time. I did have to tell her in advance we weren't getting engaged though because this place is so romantic I was worried she'd think it was a "pop the question" weekend. The staff here was super great. They had not only tons of knowledge about the local area but actually seemed to enjoy sharing it and talking to guests. The guy who cooks breakfast in the morning made not only one of the best breakfasts I've had at a B&B but had tons of great stories about the house and the neighborhood. The old guy made an awesome breakfast. It was vegetarian and I'm normally a huge meat eater but everything was so good it didn't even matter to me. And since everything was handmade and they checked on all dietary restrictions before we came in it worked with my girlfriends new diet from her nutritionist too. I've stayed at several B&B's over the years and this was hands down the best breakfast out of any of them! Each room has such a unique character and different amenities that could make each stay different. My only regret about my room was not selecting the Presidential Suit. I'd seen the price difference and didn't think it would be worth the extra but peaking my head in and grabbing pictures it would have been well worth it. By no means was the Lang room (my room) lacking. But the Presidential Room just had a major extra WOW in person. That'll be my choice next time for sure. Overall a great stay and a massive amount of respect to everyone who restored such a beautiful building and helped turn it into a memorable weekend for my girlfriend and I. #BAndB #BedAndBreakfast #Quaint #Castle #Romantic #GreatLocation read more

I know I tend to idealize/romanticize the past sometimes, and must do it once again now. So, back when Castle Marne was an apartment building, a friend/boyfriend of mine lived there briefly. Reasonable rent, reasonably cool boyfriend, and one awesome apartment. And now Castle Marne is a friendly, hospitable, and lush Bed & Breakfast. Comfortable and nicely furnished rooms, breakfasts fit for royalty, good tea, and reasonable prices. They do special events, as do most Bed & Breakfasts, and their yard areas seem like they would be perfect for weddings and such. I was here in the midst of a past deep snowy winter, so the entirety of the yard was not visible, but it still looked perfect for events! Mostly though, I still remember the nice comfortable room, the clean, dignified, and well-equipped bathroom, and the sincere kindness of the owner(s) who checked me in during a blizzard, late at night, when I was not able to drive home to Boulder and needed to stay somewhere near where my car got stuck. Happenstance; and what a fortunate accident of fate!! read more

Castle Marne - Bed & Breakfast Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Such a beautiful place. My boyfriend and I visited for one night while in Denver, and we had a great time. We reserved the Tower room, and they had about 5 journals filled with other visitors' previous experiences. Some of these dated all the way back to the early nineties! I have one complaint: the wonderful lady running the front desk advertised nighttime tea and cookies, but when we stopped in the living area (at around the hour she stated) for tea, there was none. I'm pretty sure there was tea originally, but it had not been restocked. So we tried the Keurig, but it was broken. :( Otherwise, the staff was wonderful, and breakfast was delicious! I would definitely visit again. read more

Just left the beautiful castle. Had such an amazing time celebrating our 2nd anniversary!! We checked in at around 4:00pm. We got a tour of the castle and received the key to our room. The "van cise". Which is such a great room with its own patio and private hot tub. 4:30pm was tea hour, two types of tea were available with delicious pastries and nuts. Everything on a silver platter which was a nice touch. 7:00pm was dinner, a 4 course candlelit dinner. (Very romantic) FYI bring your own alcohol, they will serve it to you. There is also a liquor store about 2 blocks away. We went downstairs at night and they had fluffy cookies and tea in case we wanted a late night snack. Breakfast was at 8:30am. The very berry jam was sooo good! Overall, what made this experience amazing was the hospitality, everyone went above and beyond our expectations! Thank you Jim, Melissa, Louie and Erin. read more

Extreme levels of gratitude for Castle Marne Bed & Breakfast in Denver, CO - on top of having the *most charming* building in the universe, the staff was wildly generous and the room was a jaw dropper. Highly recommend you give this place your business next time you're in Denver. Just bring back a bag of tiny muffins for me (they left some for me because they knew I was leaving so early the next morning )⁣ read more

Came to this bed and breakfast on valentine's day, nice place with a historic feel. High tea in the afternoon was nice. The room was also good just wish the mattress had been a little newer but we loved the hot tub on our balcony and really enjoyed sipping wine and looking at the stars. In the morning the breakfast was just ok nothing special but the owner came in and introduced herself and told us some good stories about the castle we where staying in and was really gracious for our stay. Not sure if I will ever come back but it was definitely a very peaceful and relaxing stay. read more

Castle Marne - Bed & Breakfast Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Castle Marne is a 130 year-old CASTLE in the middle of a vibrant Denver neighborhood, close to the Bluebird, many restaurants and cafes. It is a very small boutique property that is so special and singular, I've never stayed in a place like it. The hosts couldn't be nicer, they asked me if i wanted muffins set out for as i couldn't make breakfast. They were so nice to me!!! I stayed 2 nights in the Presidential suite and felt like a newly minted human after that!! THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!!! read more

Best place I've stayed in Denver, and probably best place I've stayed anywhere else. This bed and breakfast is great! My girlfriend and I came here because she loves old buildings and with this building being built in 19th century, it certainly qualifies. It's perfect for a romantic weekend in Denver. We had the Presidential suite which has a great reading nook, a private balcony for warm weather, a jacuzzi, king sized bed and separate bathroom. A lot of the furniture reflects how the building appeared when it was first built. Inside the room are a pamphlet describing the history of the building and a binder describing Denver's history. Reading over Denver's history was neat just days before its sesquicentennial. As for other areas of the house, there's a great parlor where they serve tea and cookies - fantastic cookies by the way. It's a great place to sit and meet other guests. There was a player piano downstairs which was a lot of fun to play around with. The owner personally showed us how to set it up and "play" it and then even treated us to sing along. If the rest of the rooms are open, go explore them too. There are some neat finds around the house. I mentioned the free tea and cookies earlier, which were delicious, but breakfast was even better. It was an egg-based family recipe that everyone really enjoyed. The husband-and-wife owners are great people. They were very nice, very helpful, and very informative. The husband seems like he'd be a fun grandpa. Cool fact: The dining room is listed in the national registry of historic places, so if the owners want to do any changes to the dining room, it takes an act of Congress to allow the change. If you want to go to a romantic bed and breakfast in Denver, you cannot go wrong with Castle Marne. read more

Castle Marne is such a hidden treasure. It's right off of Colfax so you think it'd be loud but no, it's like it's on it's own island. The parking is always easy-every time I came back I was able to park DIRECTLY in front of the building! The staff is super helpful with neighborhood recommendations and you can tell they truly care about you having a quality experience. Sadly I slept through breakfast but I'm sure it was great. I stayed in the Tower room with two huge beautiful beds and tons of natural light. I'd come back in a heartbeat! read more

As a disclaimer I have not been lucky enough to be able to splurge and stay at Castle Marne. I did get to visit this B&B as part of Doors Open Denver. I've passed by this historic building many many times and was lucky to get the chance to snoop around inside. The inside is very nice, with pretty stained glassed windows. The B&B feels very cozy, good for a romantic getaway or some TLC stress-free "me" time. I got to meet the owners who were super nice rather than business minded people trying extremely hard to sell me a stay at the place. read more

Disappointed. The good: gregarious staff, homemade pastries, rich history, nicely decorated, communal breakfast, free parking. The bad: it's worn down, historic and old does not have to mean dowdy (paint chipping off, dead flowers in planters, corners of floors questionable), no a/c meant a miserable night even with windows open, toiletries are 2nd class, computer to get boarding passes is truly archaic, and although the parties were good, they were the only remarkable part of breakfast, linens so-so. I was expecting more. Have stayed at better B & B in Denver that were better. I thought Marne was the best. YMMV. read more

Great place, great service. Stayed here for a night to attend a ball downtown and had a great time in our private hot tub and having breakfast with some other visitors the next morning. Also, my girlfriend was saved from a hair malfunction by one of and very nice women working there who produced a hair tie for her when her styling fell apart at the last minute. Lastly, was given a brief but interesting folk history lesson on the neighborhood by the gentleman working the desk while waiting for our car service. All in all a great night! read more

My wife and I stayed 2 nights here for our anniversary. Loved the place, so elegant, had a hot tub with our room, which my wife couldn't use because she just found out she was pregnant. The food was fantastic. read more

Castle Marne is such a wonderful experience. They treat you like royalty. The rooms are each quite different, but packed with history. Jim, the elderly statesman of the Castle, is happy to offer history on the Green Man and other important details of the architecture and function of the landmark. And it was the first green inn in Denver! Powered by solar & wind, with grey water reclamation (in a state that is powered 75% by fossil fuels). This is a B&B to cherish and return to. read more

Great staff, great location and a charming home. It was worth staying there to listen to the owner tell us the history of the house, the neighborhood and Denver. My wife and I felt very safe walking the area even though the location is near Colfax Avenue. The location is perfect since there are so many restaurants within a few blocks on Colfax and 17th Avenue. Plus, the buses to downtown run on the same routes. We stayed there for two days during a very cold and snowy weekend and the house was very warm and comfortable. We felt very much a guest in a family home. We normally stay at the Brown Place when visiting family in Denver - we will be replacing our Place for a Castle. read more

Wonderful service, location, and accommodations. Beautiful inside and out! I want to stay here every time I come to Denver.

Staying at the Castle Marne couldn't have worked out any better. On the road, I'm one that loves privacy. Staying in the "Lodge" was perfect. It's your own 2 level apartment (just across the street). I believe it was a carriage house. Now, it's an incredibly decorated, comfortable and quiet place to stay. The downstairs has an up to date kitchen with so much more than you need, though the Keurig got a workout (I'd been traveling a lot). The living room is also on the first floor. It's such an interesting mix of rustic, comfortable and modern. I don't describe things well, but it's really cool. Great set up to watch tv or slide a tray around to pretend to work while watching tv. Upstairs is the bedroom with two large beds (think their queen) and a desk. Got a great night of sleep. Everything in the Lodge is done right. I even noticed the quality of the sheets and towels, which is saying something because I never do. It was so comfortable, I missed the daily social in the main building (fell asleep...like I said, lots of travel). The great thing about having your own place is you still get to enjoy the perks of being in a B&B. Breakfast the next morning was terrific. Jim, one of the owners, takes care of you. Everything is fresh and he really knows what he's doing (ate much more than I normally do). On top of all of this, the location was terrific, 10 minutes to my job by Coors Field. The most impressive thing about Castle Marne is the staff. Jim, Louie and I laughed through breakfast (I probably held them up from the work they had to do that morning). Genuinely warm, caring people who were so much fun. I was shocked at how much I enjoyed Castle Marne and that was only with a one night stay. I look forward to coming back when I return to Denver. Really a gem. read more

What a beautiful place with so much history! The hospitality here was superb, we were well taken care of. We stayed in the "Lodge" which is a separate building across the street. Plenty of room for a whole family, or group of friends to stretch out in. Convenient location for exploring different areas of Denver. Very close to the Denver zoo and botanic gardens. I enjoyed drinking coffee and reading in the main parlor of the castle, and the fresh baked cookies in the afternoon are a real treat. This place is a true gem. read more

Staying here was awesome, the staff is super friendly and hospitable, the House is amazing and is very cool to explore. The breakfast was amazing and made from scratch. I was there for 2 breakfasts and they were completely different and awesome things! I would love to go back again! read more

We stayed here as we celebrated our 2 year anniversary and we were very happy about our choice. The staff was extremely helpful, attentive, and friendly. I love that Jim and his wife are high school sweethearts and still in love after 62 years being together. The staff made us feel really welcomed and that's important. The old architecture and details to the castle were beautiful and intriguing. We stayed in the presidential room which was very spacious and I loved the old feel to it compared to a modern hotel. I also loved the jacuzzi tub after wondering around the town on a cold night. The breakfast was delicious and the main room always had hot tea, coffee, pastries, and home made cookies available. We enjoyed having breakfast and speaking to other guests staying there while we ate. There's also local restaurants and bars a block away that we walked to and enjoyed. We walked to a bar called Thin Man's and enjoyed our bartender Tyrone. Our flight left late at night way past check out time and the staff kindly stored our bags and allowed us us to pick them up later. Melissa even served me tea for the rode. It was lovely! I'd definitely recommend. I'm a emergency first responder and they discount 20% off your stay to show their appreciation which is great! I genuinely do not have one bad thing to say. read more

Castle Marne is a culturally institution here in Denver. This castle is loaded with historical importance and the owners know all about it! The humble beginnings of the most recent incarnation of Castle Marne are seriously a testament to the hard work and dedication of Melissa and Louie. Not only that, but Castle Marne affords so many options for visitors coming from anywhere...including here in Denver. I would really recommend coming through to take a tour of the grounds and the newly unveiled Lodge at Castle Marne. The castle (and yes it is registered and qualifies as an ACTUAL CASTLE) is a perfect destination for tea time, an overnight stay, extended stays, and a historical stop to see iconic architecture. Good stuff here. read more

The Lodge at Castle Marne in Denver is a worthy destination in and of itself. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and truly felt at 'home,' for the first time in two weeks on the road. The first floor living area was clean comfortable and decorated with a unique, well thought out flair, somewhere between mountain cabin and chic. There were fresh cookies waiting for us in the jar and games including Monopoly and giant Yahtzee. It was well stocked with water bottles and even condiments, which we had forgotten. Our kids were fascinated by the gas fire place which had multiple settings. Upstairs, the two beds were very comfortable and the skis and snowshoes on the wall gave it a mountain feel. The location was perfect, with much do in walking distance. We found an outdoor public bouldering rock at the recreation building just down the street where our son would have been happy to spend the evening (once he had been dragged out of the lodge). Breakfast was excellent, and our hosts were very friendly and helpful. They were knowledgeable of the wide range of local restaurants. We enjoyed broccoli quiche, fresh fruit, blueberry preserves and some dynamite coffee. Our kids were served some excellent scrambled eggs, which was a very much appreciated consideration. In fact, while the Castle Marne is clearly a top notch romantic destination, the staff was very accommodating to us as a full family. I would highly recommend staying at the Lodge at Castle Marne for families visiting the Denver area and hope one day to return for a couples get away with my wife. read more

I'm generally not big on b&bs but I felt Comfortable here. Not intrusive, relaxed, gorgeous, well located and sweet. Breakfast was good as well as the conversation. The family is wonderful. I was going to take the train back to the airport but one family member insisted on driving me. That was way beyond the call of duty. Very different experience from staying at a hotel. read more

Absolutely beautiful. Everything was so elegant and tastefully done. When we arrived they had the setting room all set up for tea time with a variety of teas and homemade treats. Our room so very home like and the beds were very comfortable. In the morning we had an amazing breakfast everything was homemade, signature items, organic French press coffee, and three choices of juice all served on beautiful dishes with top notch service. I felt like royalty during my stay there. I highly recommend checking this B&B out if your in Denver and looking for a relaxing get away. read more

We had a absolutely wonderful stay at Castle Marne. When we arrived, we were greeted by the owners and the innkeeper and they were so kind and quick to get us settled. It was around 4pm, so it was tea time in the main parlor. Such a charming touch to have little snack and hot tea/coffee everyday for the guests. We had a large party in our group, so we stayed at The Lodge. It's directly across the quiet street. The Innkeeper took us over and showed us everything about the space. They even brought over hot tea and delicious macaroons for us. The lodge was so cozy and perfect for us. The beds were AMAZING. It's very spacious and perfect for a larger group of people traveling together. Full sided kitchen and great bathroom. The neighborhood was SO cute. We walked down to City Park, and on the way back we stopped a St Marks Coffee (which was great too). There's a lot to do in this neighborhood - you're walking distance from a lot of great food and bars. On the day of departure, we had breakfast in the main house, and I'm so glad we did because the food was excellent and the company was even better. It's really fun to meet fellow travelers and share stories together over a good meal. Overall, we loved our stay at Castle Marne. We cannot wait to go back! read more

The only reason I give it a four out of five is because the room was a little small--but that shouldn't deter anyone from staying here. The owners are so sweet (their little girl actually checked us in--it was so cute!) and welcoming. It was awesome to have the hot tub out on the balcony. Even though it was in the middle of downtown Denver and could have been completely submerged in the noises and chaos of sirens and traffic, it isn't at all. It was one of the most relaxing weekends I have ever had with my fiance. I have never slept so well or felt so relaxed, and it was a five minute drive from our apartment. Got the stay from my parents for my birthday and I would go back any time. Having breakfast with a bunch of strangers seemed scary at first, but it was honestly so much fun to get to know people and just enjoy the company of others. The food was good and the company was amazing. Also, getting to write in one of the many books left in the room was so sweet and endearing. Sat there reading over past notes with my fiance for quite a while (DO IT! You will cry!) Whether you live in Colorado or anywhere else, stopping through on a road trip, stay at Castle Marne, even if it is for only one night. You will never know a more peaceful sleep, and greater company. read more

This is the most desirable bed and breakfast that I ever been to in my life. It is absolutely amazing. With a complimentary early meal that was just deliciously homemade from scratch including homemade muffins, jellies, jams, orange and cranberry juice, coffee, and a lovely arrangement of fruits topped by edible flowers. The place is run by a family who lives nearby and comes over to offer plenty of fun places to visit and the best way to drive there. Inside is comparable to a museum in that it has sets of teacups and teapots, floral patterned couches, antiques of sterling silver, newspapers from all over the town, wooden cabinets filled with china, a piano, and photographs of family. When you come in, it's almost like you are inside a dollhouse and you're about to have tea. Just memorable! I will never forget this visit as long as I live. I never felt more invited in my life. They offered water as I came in unused to the altitude of Denver air. I was floored by the intricate assortment of wooden furniture and cushioned chairs and the design of the walls and choice of the flowers in their garden. In addition, they have a hot tub in your room(well my room did have one), so I got to see the stars in warm 95 degree warmness as the temperature drops off at night. I love the view outside. It was just a grand time! read more

My fiancee and I agree that Castle Marne is by far the best B&B (or lodging in general) that we have every stayed in. The historical building is breathtaking, both outside and inside. A lot of love was put into keeping it gorgeous. The staff are lovely and go the extra mile to make sure you are comfortable and feel welcome. The breakfast food we had was delicious, and they happily made accommodations for me (vegetarian and gluten free). One of the little touches my fiancee and I still talk about is the tea and homemade cookies they put out every evening. If we ever return to Denver, we will not even consider staying anywhere else! I seriously can't say enough wonderful things about this B&B! read more

Well this incredible place has now wrecked my future lodging experiences, as I can't imagine Any other stacking up against it. Walking into the 2 story lodge room, it was like visiting the aftermath of a luxurious remodel on HGTV. Rustic, but with some beautiful industrial elements thrown in, the place walked right out of the pages of ARCHITECTURAL DIGEST. Truth be told I'm not a big bed and breakfast fan, but the castle Marne has made me rethink my past biases against them. During the 5 star breakfast (the muffins and quiche were perfect) 1 of the owners, Louie, gave us a history of the building and after eating offered up a tour, which included a wonderful story about the antique turntable, playing the record of one of the Marnes favorite guests, Tiny Tim, gave as a gift...Tiptoe thru the Tulips. This will now be my only consideration for lodging in Denver. What an amazing place! read more

Bed and Breakfasts aren't really my thing and this was my first experience. I did think that this was an excellent Bed and Breakfast. The owner is lovely. The food was amazing. The decor is certainly unique and interesting. Each room is fashioned in a different way and has a different name. Everything was very clean and well kept up. The garden area was a delight.
