Do you consider yourself to be both socially and environmentally friendly? While most Colorado-based businesses pride themselves on all of the above, some still stand out more than others, including the charming Boulder Guest House, which is arguably the most eco-friendly accommodation in the state:
Please note, the Boulder Guest House was previously called the Briar Rose Bed and Breakfast.
Located in Boulder, the Briar Rose Guest House is one of the most unique places to stay in Colorado, thanks to both its ambiance and amenities.
Taken over by the current Innkeeper in 2004, the Briar Rose quickly adopted its mindful and eco-consciousness stance, which it does through recycling, composting, and energy conservation, as well as serving organic and ethically-sourced food.
Unlike other bed and breakfasts, the Briar Rose is also home to a serene meditation room: a 400-square-foot oasis that welcomes its guests to discover "your true nature – your fundamental awareness/aliveness."
Boasting 10 rooms, the B&B offers a perfect space for every price point and preference, thanks to such suites as the garden-facing Redcloud Room, spacious yet quaint Crestone Room, and romantic Blanca Room.
In addition to charm and privacy, each room at the Briar Rose Bed and Breakfast offers a high-end bed by local Verlo Mattress Company, antique decor and furnishings, and - like all great bed and breakfasts - breakfast.
Speaking of breakfast, the Briar Rose specializes in incredible organic meals that include entrees like olive and sun-dried tomato tapenade, carefully-selected fresh-fruit cups, and fresh-baked bread. Yum!
