Sallie & Welling moved to Colorado in 1985, and lovingly restored the neglected 1902 Victorian and original carriage house. In 1986 they began welcoming guests to share in their love of old homes. The extensive renovation included the installation of a new foundation, plumbing, heating, wiring, landscaping and total restoration. In 1994, the adjacent Rose Victorian was also added to the inn. The Clarks look on the inn as a continuing project of love and labor for these classic Victorian homes. Guests can appreciate the renovation project by viewing the Holden House "Before & After" photograph album. Sallie and Welling share their home with resident Inncats Mingtoy & Muffin, the "real owners" of Holden House. The Holden House staff; Tiffany, Beth, Heather, Anna, Shannon and Alane will help make your stay a special experience. We are known for distinctive accommodations and personalized service. Many of the inn's furnishings belonged to Sallie's grandmother who resided in Pueblo, Colorado. Family treasures include an 1898 Estate Oak parlor stove which was used on her grandmother's farm, an intricately designed silver tea service which belonged to her great grandmother, and a 200 year old Gaudy Welsh tea set originating from South Wales heritage. The many oriental keepsakes are reminiscent of Welling's travels in the Navy. An eclectic collection of Victorian and traditional furnishings are reflected throughout the inn.
