(Newswire.net — June 16, 2013) Denver, CO — A stone castle in the heart of the city has become a recognized pallet of colors and smells as this historic structure offers antique, historic and modern roses and many other flowers on display to the public.
The Castle Marne Bed and Breakfast Inn, Denver’s most recognized stone structure, has had many people directed to their gardens to see, smell and photograph what has been 24 years of careful tending, pruning, planting and training by its owner Jim Peiker.
“I have worked at making this something that I enjoy and enhances the experience of everyone who comes to the Castle. I enjoy having people come and ‘smell the roses’, so I put the sign out every year around this time.” Jim muses. “It was really something when some our guests went to the Denver Botanic Gardens, and after enjoying their rose gardens, asked on of the volunteers who said to see some other great roses gardens in Denver then go over to the Castle Marne. It made my day to know that they felt our gardens were worthy of their recommendation.”
The Castle Marne B&B is Denver’s longest running single family owned and run historic lodging establishment, founded in 1988 and originally built in 1889. Built completely of native Colorado Rhyolite (lavastone), with walls which are twenty twp inches thick. This iconic structure has has manicured and tended gardens since it was built during the late 1800’s.
The top rated hotel recognized by TripAdvisor.com, Conde Nast Johansens and Select Registry, and a Diamond Collection property in BedAndBreakfast.com is open to the general public for lodging, tea parties, luncheons, dinners and private gathering, with a minimum 48 hour prior reservations.
This property is one of only a few hotels in the state that have been noted for their sustainability locally and nationally with a Silver level designation as a GreenLeader by TripAdvisor.com even with their ability to maintain the manicured gardens in difficult drought conditions and with weather patterns that have actually illed off some of the original roses from the early 1900’s.
