The Lumber Baron Inn and Gardens

A beautiful well maintained piece of architecture with a rich Colorado history and a sweet couple who owns and manages it, sums up The Lumber Baron Inn. The cute and charming inn is nestled in a neighborhood, thought the sign out front you would have know it's and Inn and event space. You can experience The Lumber Baron with monthly yoga sessions in the ballroom, stay in one of their time period kept rooms, or stop by for brunch (which is what I did). They even host weddings and other events. There are only few tables so you will need to make a reservation for brunch. You are greeted by the wait staff upon entry and captivated by the well kept historic structure. The staff provided us a book about the history. They serve coffee and tea as well as a decent size menu of brunch options. I got the quiche which was dense, filling, and the arugula and blueberry salad lightly dressed in a yogurt dressing was the perfect complement. My husband got the waffles which came out in silver dollar size but must have been delicious as he devoured them! If you want a unique brunch experience, look no further than The Lumber Baron Inn!

This review is specifically for their high tea where some friends and I checked out on the weekend. The building is beautiful, well kept, and in a location I would not have expected. The backyard could use some love, but we came just at the start of the warm season, so maybe they hadn 't had time for a spring cleanup yet. If my review were solely for that ambiance, it would be higher. I can 't say I was impressed with their tea time compared with other experiences in Denver. I did not love that they used individually bagged, store-bought tea. Part of the fun for tea time with friends is to share pots and try the same thing (especially unique blends you can 't easily find elsewhere), which isn 't conducive to individual bags. They also gave no recommendation on brewing time. The food highly varied. Some items were delicious (the brownie/cookie hybrid was a particular standout) but others were dry and overbaked. It was good to try a new place, but I don 't think I 'll return for a second round.

Celebrated my sister's birthday here and we couldn't have been more delighted with our Afternoon Tea experience. The tea selection was fantastic, and the pastries and sandwiches were absolutely delicious. Served all on fine China it truly felt like a special and fancy treat. The Inn itself is breathtaking, inside and out and the service was just excellent. I hope to visit again soon.

A charming place for tea, The Lumber Baron Inn is a beautifully restored decorated Victorian, with sleeping rooms upstairs. My book club celebrated our anniversary here, and we delighted with simply everything. Sandwiches, scones, crumpets, and several varieties of cookies, plus a selection of teas $35 plus tax and tip. Only negatives are street parking, and stairs up to the front door that can be challenging for some. (The Inn can provide a ramp upon request. We'll definitely visit again!

We stayed here after a night at the theater. We stayed in the garden room. The room is beautiful and the bed is so comfortable. The jacuzzi tub is lovely. The room was clean and overlooked the garden; we were here in the winter, but I imagine in the summer it's gorgeous. The inn keepers are very sweet and take wonderful care of the place, and were charming. The food was good overall, cooked with care and served in a lovely dining room. The inn is close to the downtown area and very convenient, but in a nice quiet area.
