History
Built in 1910, the Black Dog Inn was one of the earliest homes in the burgeoning village of Estes Park. Snuggled in among towering pine and aspen trees on a rolling acre, the Inn offers an expansive view of Lumpy Ridge, Mummy Range, Mt. Olympus and the Estes Valley. The Inn is only a short five-minute drive to Rocky Mountain National Park, and surrounding footpaths allowing you to walk to the scenic River Walk and nearby Estes Park attractions. As we celebrate our 16th anniversary of operation as a bed and breakfast, we invite you to join our celebration.

Accommodations
The Inn features three individual suites, a cottage, and two luxury cabins, named after nearby mountain peaks. Rooms are tastefully appointed with family antiques, feather down comforters and bathrobes. Each suite seeks to unite the charm of yesteryear with the comforts of today.

These quiet, restful suites make your stay a relaxing special occasion. But you won't linger in bed when you awake to the delicious smells of breakfast topped off with freshly brewed coffee, steaming hot tea, yummy breads, and muffins. A promise of culinary delights to come.
