If you are looking for the best Inn in Golden, look no further! I stayed here a few years ago and had a great experience, however, I stayed for a second time this past Valentine’s Day weekend as a surprise for my husband for my birthday, and could not believe the new management and new facelift this already perfect Inn received. No detail was spared, a true B&B through and through. Seriously the design is 10/10. And if you are coffee lover, you will not be disappointed with the espresso machine in the main lobby! My husband was also happy for a tea and non-caffeinated morning beverage selection. All of the other guests who were also staying, there were quite lovely and friendly in the main areas, we stayed in the carriage house and had great privacy and it was truly a perfect weekend

My mom and I stayed at the The Dove Inn for one night after attending a wedding nearby. From the moment we arrived, we wished we had booked a longer stay! The inn is centrally located in charming Golden Colorado, with plenty of restaurants and shops within walking distance. The outdoor space was sweet and inviting, only topped by the gorgeously decorated interior. We especially gushed over the refurbished elements of this 19th century building. Our room was clean and ready for us to enjoy. There were so many small touches in our room that made this stay extra special, like the water and glasses, luxury robes, and a bath tub and salts just begging for a relaxing soak. We are both registered dietitians by trade and couldn’t help but notice the thoughtfulness put into the nutritious and balanced cold breakfast offerings. We also thoroughly enjoyed the local coffee and tea. The check in/ out process was simple. Our fellow guests were lovely and considerate. We truly can’t sing enough praises for The Dove Inn; the love put into this B&B is palpable. We hope to be back for a weekend soon! Thank you for creating so a lovely space!

We really enjoyed our stay at The Dove Inn. We liked the privacy of the carriage house and easy access to the hot tub. Lots of variety for the serve yourself breakfast items, even eggs. The carriage house had a kitchen so we could make our own breakfast. We had a few issues that were dealt with effectively by the owners/staff.

Hands down one of my favorite hotels I’ve ever stayed in. The design and details of everything felt so luxe and comfortable at the same time. I enjoyed sitting in the lobby with tea, and making use of the full kitchen. The breakfast items were delicious, and the full water carafe left in the room, along with two water glasses, two wine glasses and a bottle opener was such a nice touch. I needed some service to my room during my stay and they were responsive and helpful.

Oh my gosh! We absolutely LOVED the Dove Inn! My fiancé booked this place to stay after our engagement in Golden and it was perfect! The staff was so kind to let our friends in early to decorate the room for us! The beds were so comfy and cozy, the access to snacks, drinks, tea, and breakfast were great. And they had an AMAZING homemade pumpkin bread that was to die for. It was clean, cute and cozy! Also, love the proximity to town. Would absolutely recommend a stay here!

The Dove Inn is an absolute gem in Golden. The new owner has completely transformed the space with beautiful, moody, sophisticated design that feels fresh and intentional, while still honoring the inn’s legacy. From the thoughtfully placed antiques to the small, meaningful details throughout, it’s clear how much care went into every aspect of the renovation. It feels much more like a cool boutique hotel than a traditional B&B, but without losing any of the warmth and charm that makes places like this special. The atmosphere is elegant, cozy, and unique. The Dove Inn is perfect for relaxing after a day exploring Golden. I stayed in The Bronze Quill suite. Our room was incredibly spacious and beautifully appointed. The bed was absolutely divine ... so comfortable it felt impossible to leave in the morning. The bathroom was equally impressive, with a large soaking tub and completely updated finishes, including gorgeous marble floors and high-end details that made it feel more like a luxury hotel than an inn. Every element was thoughtful, polished, and designed for real comfort. If you appreciate great design, history, and a truly special place to stay, The Dove Inn is a must. I can’t recommend it highly enough and will absolutely be back!!

This bed-and-breakfast is an absolute gem ! My husband and I loved it so much during our first visit that we had to come back—and it did not disappoint. The charm of this place is unmatched, from the beautifully decorated, rooms to the cozy, serene atmosphere. Its location is fantastic, close to incredible restaurants serving amazing food and cocktails. The patio is a lovely spot to relax, especially with the holiday decor that makes everything feel extra special. The fridge is thoughtfully stocked with delicious breakfast items, making mornings effortless and perfect. The rooms are incredibly private and peaceful—you don’t hear a thing, not even street noise. It’s the ultimate retreat for relaxation, with comfortable beds, clean linens, and spotless spaces. It has just the right amount of amenities to make your stay comfortable without feeling overwhelming. We’ve truly fallen in love with this place and can’t wait to return. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a quiet, charming getaway!

We stayed at the Dove Inn for a few days during our trip, and it was lovely! It was central and walking distance within the entire downtown of Golden, which is exactly what we were looking for (while also keeping it affordable)! The complementary breakfast was nice, especially with their homemade breads and muffins! They provided many fruits, drinks, coffee/tea, and filtered water, which was nice for on the go! We didn't speak too much to the staff as they didn't seem up to conversations, but Gabi did help us resolve a tub drainage issue when we called about it! (There was nothing wrong with it. The drain just wasn't open). Our room was very quaint and adorable I do think some hooks for hanging jackets would be helpful! Overall, it was a very cute place in a lovely area. I would stay here again to try some of the things we didn't get to do in the area! Food recs: Humble House was SO GOOD along with Woody's Pizza AYCE, Trailhouse burgers, and Thai Golden right across the street!

This was a real find! Excellent location: walking to everything! Lovely interior design with plenty of comfortable shared spaces both inside and out. The kitchen is very well stocked and available for your use. There are plenty of breakfast options available, self-served on your own schedule. Gabi is a fabulous innkeeper: friendly and helpful but never intrusive. We look forward to returning again!

We stayed at the Dove Inn for two nights to explore Golden and enjoy a concert at Red Rocks. The Dove Inn is so adorable and well taken care of and in a great spot to walk around and explore shops and restaurants with a short drive to Red Rocks. The parking garage is a short walk from the Inn and we never had a problem finding a spot. The main living area is a fun hangout spot but did get kind of warm in the afternoon so we decided to hang out on the patio area out front under a shaded spot. The rooms are nice but as you can tell from most of the pictures are pretty small. This was not a problem for us, but if you're traveling with a bunch of luggage this might not be the best spot. It was also so nice to just go downstairs and make a cup of coffee and enjoy the delicious breakfast pastries. We would love to stay here again on another visit to Golden.
