The Black Dog Inn Rated in Top 10 Most Romantic Bed and Breakfasts
Forbes Traveler rated Black Dog Inn as one of the top 10 bed and breakfasts you could choose for romance. This lodging option offers both private cabins and intimate
suites, and each is decorated in its own unique themes. This means that no two guests, or pairs of guests, experience the same thing when they stay here.
A typical day starts with a full three-course breakfast served in the Inn’s breakfast room, or you can cook your own meal if you stay in one of the private cabins. Once you are full, you can either head out to explore the mountains, or retreat back to your room to relax with jetted tubs and your own fireplace. Each room has a private entrance, so you can come and go without interfering with any fellow travelers.
Throughout your stay, you will be just five minutes from Rocky Mountain National Park, which guarantees the view from your room to be amazing.
When you are not enjoying your cozy private space, the Inn has several common rooms for your enjoyment. The library and reception room has reading material, including local maps and guidebooks, for your use. The Manford room, the inn’s great room, has a video library for your use. You will also have use of the breakfast room and kitchen during your stay.
