The Briar Rose Bed and Breakfast Inn is run by Innkeepers Chip Horner and Gary Hardin, a Zen monk. It is our intention to bring mindfulness and compassion to our care for the guests and the Inn. Above all, our hallmark is to offer a feeling of home in the heart of Boulder. We simply take care of whoever walks in the door. The gardens offer a private retreat for personal reflection, a warm conversation or simply enjoying the many different plants, flowers, trees and shrubs. The living room, with a wood-burning fireplace is an inviting spot for reading, meeting with friends, or enjoying a fine pot of tea with fresh-baked shortbread cookies. Guests and staff may sit in our humble meditation room listening to the small waterfall in the garden below. We serve a full, organic breakfast in our dining room or on the cheery sun porch, weather permitting. Arrangements can be made for in-room service. We belong to two state bed and breakfast associations, the Distinctive Inns of Colorado, and the Bed and Breakfast Innkeepers of Colorado. Both feature high-quality inns. We are the only Boulder bed and breakfast that serves organic breakfast and the only local member of the Green Hotels Association. We are inspected by AAA and are members of the Boulder Hotel and Motel Association.

I have stayed at The Briar Rose a few times and look forward to returning whenever I get the chance . The rooms feel elegant and yet homey, while the rest of the inn is charming. The grounds include a fairly secluded quite lush fenced in area that ...

We come so often to the Briar Rose that we really feel it's a second home. We live high up in the mountains, so it's turned into our "town residence." We know every staff member by name. Our daughter, who is seven, is well accomodated...

The Briar Rose B&B is a great place to stay in Boulder. It's right in the center of town. Even better than the location are the people that work there; mostly university students, and it feels like they enjoy working there, so bravo to the...

This B&B is truly a great find. My wife and I stayed at the Briar Rose Bed and Breakfast for our anniversary. We often stay at B&Bs when we travel and I can honestly say that this one is the best so far in every category.

I would challenge anyone to not feel at home at the Briar Rose. The atmosphere is so great, it's like you think you're home, and the house that you're home in a big Victorian with beautiful scrolls on the walls and an actual meditation hall where...
