History & Future

An 1880s mountain getaway for presidents and outdoorsy folk alike, the Blue Jay Inn is a classic Colorado gem that has been waiting to come back to life for 27 years. The Blue Jay Inn is on the National Register of Historic Places and a beloved fixture in the community.

A preservation-sensitive renovation will revive the Inn as the most comfortably elegant retreat within an hour’s drive of Denver. The Blue Jay Inn will be an ideal retreat location, wedding and reunion venue, and jumping-off point to explore the Front Range in winter or summer. 

Guests will come to get away from it all. With access to world-class mountain biking, fishing, and hiking just minutes from the Inn, there’s plenty to do—if you can manage to leave the comfort of the soaking tubs and wraparound porch.
