Bed & Breakfast in Estes Park, Colorado

Art Market at Bond Park and Antiques and collectibles at the Stanley Fair grounds. Get a jump on Christmas shopping, and have fun at the same time!

A short 15 second drive from the Art Market is Wonderview Ave. Our little Victorian cotate sits under what is called Black Canyon and Lumpy Ridge.

Congratulations J and Dave. We were pleased to host your weddings here at Gilded Pine Meadows B&B in Estes Park, Colorado. (photo by Caprissa)

Brian and Valarie from England used our WiFi hook up to help in planning their trip, and looking up interesting trivia during their stay with us. Brian also brought along, "Glades" a pocket size GPS with an attitude.

We have an amazing hot tub which gets rave reviews. Here Eric and Brian do research using the manual and Google.

There is a bear in the air. I captured this elegant lady and her cub just a few feet from the house. Spring time is a perfect time to capture wildlife in town and near our property. Not guaranteed, but if you keep a watchful eye out as you drive slowly around you have a chance. Dusk and dawn are good times.

climbing our neighbors fence. Note the sign.

She was a big girl. They look gentle--truly. When I'm close to them I feel no fear--maybe I'm, "GRIZZLY GIRL".

Fast to climb trees. MY gosh--don't climb a tree if you are getting chased. They are up in an eye's blink. REAL slow getting down. They napped for several hours in this tree.

This fellow is in the velvet. Antler growing time is a time for the elk to take care not to dent or brake their tender growth. This man and his buddies grazed in our yard for a few days.

Elk are grazing in the front yard each day this week, and in town. Best viewing is in town at the golf course. The golf course is a favorite watering hole and grazing location for tired hungry elk.

Parade, color and laughs, are the first three words that come to mind when I think about the Scottish Irish Festival parade and activities Coming on September 10,11, 12, and 13th.

It was fun hearing about our guests time at the tattoo celebration. Gilded Pine Meadows B&B books up each year with fun festive minded people, dressed for a good time. GREAT period clothes.

Bagpipe music takes my breath away every time. The Longs Peak Scottish Irish Highland Festival is September 10, 11, 12th and 13th this year.

Dog friendly parade

Celts and festive dress are beautiful. This man is my idea of an authentic display of the times.

Great costumes, fun people lots to do and see!

It started Thursday night...snowed all day Friday and by this morning the snow reached upwards of 3 feeton our hill. It's still snowing...I was planning to drive to Denver today--but that's off the books now.

Eric and Maggie clearing off the steps.

Maggie has always gotten a kick out of Eric shoveling snow.

For the last two years I've been growing pansies indoors for the month of April and May, planting them outdoors in early June. They are clean and easy to keep up.

Today Eric and I got all gussied up and attended a local-celebrity sing along with Brad and Kathy Fitch.

The library updated the children's area to add room for live music and wild parties! The scandals behavior in this town is shameless.

A mural depicts a wish we granted. Library's are a nice place to enjoy peace.

Closed for a few weeks means no library during a time us tax paying locals use it most.

This is the view out the upstairs window of the library. Here they have FREE Wi-Fi for all to enjoy year around.

Eric uses the library computers often as an alternative location to work on his commodity charts. Wireless internet and computer usage is free and easy at the library in Estes Park. We too offer wi-fi. We don't, however, have a computer available for your use here at the B&B.

Four Ebert squirrels playing in the afternoon sun. The black and sometimes gray, tufted eared gals and guys are playful and sometimes right-out goofy. This past summer a baby Ebert squirrel lounged flat on its side in the middle of our driveway. We had a talk about ways to stay off the extinct animals list. Please enjoy, no need to feed. Eberts thrive on the pine cone seeds--and believe me one little fellow can eat 2 or 3 faster than you can wrangle your peanut butter sandwich out of your back pack, grab your camera, and trip over a stone. We sugges sitting still and enjoy a free show on, "how to eat a tree in 10 minutes, and not gain a pound."
