Glenwood Springs Colorado Bed and Breakfast

Lavender & Thyme Bed & Breakfast Welcomes March Skiers to Glenwood Springs with Complimentary Hot Springs Pool Passes

2011-01-24T12:31:00.000-07:00

Statistically, Colorado receives the most snow in March and April. Snowfall, coupled with bright blue skies and warmer temperatures for skiing and snowboarding, make spring snow riding unbeatable. And the Victorian Lavender & Thyme Bed & Breakfast, in historic downtown Glenwood Springs, Colorado, is right in the middle of some of the best skiing in the state.

Sunlight Mountain Resort

Guests at the B&B can enjoy Aspen, Aspen Highlands, Snowmass and Buttermilk only 40 miles south, Vail and Beaver Creek just 60 miles east, and Sunlight Mountain Resort-- right in Glenwood Springs and a mere fifteen minutes from the door of the B&B. With a complimentary Glenwood Hot Springs Pool pass offered to every guest who stays with them in March, Lavender & Thyme Bed & Breakfast may well be redefining spring break for Colorado visitors this year.

Of course, a robust breakfast is also included with every stay at Lavender & Thyme, fueling outdoor winter enthusiasts for the day's adventure. Guests can expect a gourmet multi-course morning meal, with a starter like a baked apple or grilled grapefruit. Then it's onto a soufflé, omelet, or Eggs Benedict entree. The meal is rounded out with delicious juices, baked treats and sweet breads, and completed by dessert of seasonal fruit, sorbet, chocolate strawberries, or ice cream!

Hot Springs Pool at night

The Glenwood Hot Springs Pool, open daily until 10:00 PM, is a short walk from the B&B, as are numerous downtown dining spots offering Asian, Italian, fine dining and casual brewpub fare. For non-skiers, or those who may be taking a day off the slopes, snowshoes are complimentary for guests to explore the Boy Scout Trail or the walk to the Doc Holliday Memorial, both nearby. The snowshoe trails adjacent to Sunlight Mountain Resort are also fun to explore, and are free.

The Lavender & Thyme Bed & Breakfast welcomes families and students on break from college with some special March rates and packages, all of which include a hot springs pass:

Sunday-Thursday, $120/night, two night minimum
Friday-Saturday, $130/night, two night minimum
Rent the entire B&B (sleeps 6-9 people), $500 per night, two night minimum
Rent the Aspen Room (sleeps 4) $180/night, two night minimum

History, Pre-History, European Fables & Holidays: Enjoy them all at Lavender & Thyme Bed & Breakfast in Glenwood Springs

2010-10-30T09:32:00.000-06:00

The Lavender & Thyme Bed & Breakfast, built in downtown Glenwood Springs in 1903 and lovingly restored as special retreat for vacationers, has a rich history to share. Your Dutch host, Peter Tijm, has come up with many reasons to visit in November and December.

This November, Lavender & Thyme guests can breakfast with Doc Holliday,

in special posthumous appearances (Or, Rest here In Peace this month!)

In November, Lavender & Thyme celebrates the memorial of Doc Holliday, the famous gunman-gambler-dentist who lived his final days in Glenwood Springs, dying here on November8, 1887.In honor of Doc, we're inviting guests to breakfast with him on the weekends of November 6 and 7 and the long weekend of the Veterans Day holiday, November 11, 12, 13 and 14. We'll be serving up a special menu of the vittles of his time, including Outlaw Eggs, Cowboy Coffee, the grits of his birthplace and home state of Georgia, and more. Over breakfast, Doc will regale you with stories of his life and times in Glenwood Springs in this special posthumous appearance. No one knows exactly where Doc's final resting place is, although he's memorialized in nearby Linwood Cemetery. Several psychics insist that he is buried at the corner of Palmer and 8th Street, the current site of the Lavender & Thyme Bed & Breakfast! We will happily share the details of this mysterious theory.

Other treats in store for our November guests include:

- A lantern tour with host Peter Tijm to nearby Linwood Cemetery, where Doc is memorialized and another outlaw, Kid Curry, is laid to rest.

- A shot of whisky (or beverage of choice for visitors of an appropriate age) at the Doc Holliday's Saloon, just two blocks away.

- A complimentary copy of the Walking History Tour Book of Glenwood Springs, for independent exploration of our town's historic core.

Traveling with family? Enjoy European traditions with Lavender & Thyme Bed & Breakfast in November and December

Peter Tijm, your Lavender & Thyme innkeeper and host, was born in the Netherlands. Peter speaks eight languages! If you like, you can practice your conversational Dutch, French, German, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish or Spanish with Peter. Needless to say, he also speaks English quite well. This fall Peter invites guests to celebrate two European traditions with him, with the St. Martin Feast Day on November 11, and St. Nicholas Day on December 5.

St. Martin's Day

St. Martin's Day, also known as the Feast of St. Martin, Martinstag or Martinmas, is November 11, the feast day of Martin of Tours, who started out as a Roman soldier. He was baptized as an adult and became a monk. It is understood that he was a kind man who led a quiet and simple life. The most famous legend of his life is that he once cut his cloak in half to share with a beggar during a snowstorm, to save the beggar from dying of the cold. That night he dreamed that Jesus was wearing the half-cloak Martin had given away. In Europe, children tour their neighborhoods at night by lantern light, singing for treats which kind neighbors provide. It is an approximate equivalent of American tradition of Halloween trick-or-treating. Guests can enjoy the story, songs and special treats provided by Lavender & Thyme on St. Martin's Day.

Saint Nicholas Day

The tradition of Saint Nicholas Day, usually on December 6, is a festival for children in many countries in Europe related to surviving legends of the saint, and particularly his reputation as a bringer of gifts. The American Santa Claus, as well as the Anglo-Canadian and British Father Christmas, derive from these legends. "Santa Claus" is itself derived from the Dutch Sinterklaas. Lavender & Thyme will be celebrating the entire weekend of December 3, 4 and 5 in honor of Saint Nicholas.

In the Netherlands, Saint Nicholas' Eve is the primary occasion for gift-giving, when his reputed birthday is celebrated. In the days leading up to December 5 (starting when Saint Nicholas has arrived in the Netherlands by steamboat in late November), young children put their shoes in front of the chimneys and sing Sinterklaas songs. Often they put a carrot or some hay in the shoes, as a gift to St. Nicholas' horse. (In recent years the horse has been named Amerigo in Holland and Slechtweervandaag in Flanders.) The next morning they will find a small present in their shoes, ranging sweets to marbles or some other small toy. On the evening of December 5, Sinterklaas brings presents to every child that has behaved him or herself well in the past year (in practice, just like with Santa Claus, all children receive gifts without distinction). This is often done by placing a bag filled with presents outside the house or living room, after which a neighbor or parent bangs the door or window, pretending to be Sinterklaas' assistant. Another option is to hire or ask someone to dress up as Sinterklaas and deliver the presents personally. Sinterklaas wears a bishop's robes including a red cape and mitre and is assisted by many mischievous helpers with black faces and colorful Moorish dress, dating back two centuries. These helpers are called 'Zwarte Pieten' ("Black Petes") or "Père Fouettard" in the French-speaking part of Belgium.

The myth is, if a child had been naughty, the Zwarte Pieten put all the naughty children in sacks, and Sinterklaas took them to Spain (it is believed that Sinterklaas comes from Spain, where he returns after December 5). Therefore, many Sinterklaas songs still allude to a watching Zwarte Piet (Black Peter) and a judging Sinterklaas.

Regardless of whether you've been naughty or nice over the past year, gifts will be awarded to all guests at Lavender & Thyme during Saint Nicholas weekend. Innkeeper Peter will share the Saint Nicholas story in detail with guests, and Jan will need your assistance baking and decorating gingerbread for the event. The Lavender & Thyme Christmas tree will be up, and ready to be festooned with decorations by guests!

Thanksgiving

Invite your extended family for a stay over Thanksgiving weekend, and you can enjoy the entire B&B for a cozy family celebration November 25, 26, and 27. Ask Peter and Jan about a custom Thanksgiving meal, prepared and served on site in the beautifully appointed dining room. On Friday, November 26, the historic Hotel Colorado does its annual lighting celebration, an event not to be missed!

Other events and news in and around Glenwood Springs:

Digging Pre-history in Snowmass

Did you hear? Just up the road in Snowmass Village, 40 miles from the Lavender & Thyme Bed & Breakfast, crews have unearthed not one, or two...but five Woolly Mammoths or Mastodons! Paleontologists are just getting up to speed with this amazing discovery. Hundreds of people have had the opportunity to view the bones, teeth and tusks at the Snowmass Village Water and Sanitation building recently. The bones are there temporarily until paleontologists take them to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science for more research, but the chances are good that during your visit, you can make the short trip to Snowmass to see the bones and the site of their discovery yourself!

Glenwood ski season begins!

Sunlight Mountain Resort opens for the winter skiing and snow riding season on December 3!

Glenwood Springs, Colorado By The Light Of The Moon: Stay at Lavender & Thyme Bed and Breakfast for Ghost Walks, Hot Springs & Hikes

2010-09-27T13:15:00.002-06:00

Moonlight makes everything a little bit more magical and mysterious in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, especially in October when the town’s ghosts, including outlaw-turned-hero Doc Holliday, return from the grave to tell their tales courtesy of the local Frontier Historical Society and its Ghost Walk production. Mild moonlit nights are also surprisingly good times to see some of Glenwood Springs’ most popular attractions in a whole different light, like Glenwood Hot Springs and even the recently reopened and improved trail to Hanging Lake in Glenwood Canyon.

The full moon on the 22nd adds an appropriately eerie glow to all things natural and supernatural this month. The Frontier Historical Society’s popular Ghost Walks to Linwood Cemetery, the final resting place of Glenwood’s pioneer settlers and famous former residents Doc Holliday and Kid Curry, begin mid-month and culminate on Halloween night. October visitors can also use the power of the full moon along with their own personal flashlights to illuminate the path to Hanging Lake, one of Colorado’s most exalted hiking trails, then turn in at Lavender & Thyme B&B for a cozy, restful sleep.

While daylight sees most of the action at the Glenwood Hot Springs Pool, nighttime, especially illuminated by the moon, is truly magical. Both children and adults are enchanted by the tendrils of steam that hover like silvery ghosts just above the surface of the pool on crisp autumn evenings. The phenomenon is caused when the warm mineral water comes into contact with the cool night air and creates steam. Glenwood Hot Springs Pool is open every night until 10:00 PM, and admission has dropped to $13.25 for daytime visits and $9.25 after 9:00 PM for the value season, which runs until Memorial weekend.

Lunar lore suggests that October’s harvest moon is so named because it rose early and was bright enough to permit farmers to work late into the evening, allowing them to bring in the final harvest of the year. These days the harvest moon provides enough light to explore the landscape around Glenwood Springs on foot. Hikers are known to trek to Hanging Lake in Glenwood Canyon by moonlight, although headlamps and flashlights are highly recommended. The newly improved trail is well marked, but hikers should allow for extra time to account for limited visibility. The trail climbs 900 feet over just 1.2 miles. At the top, enjoy the uncharacteristic quiet and the moonlight reflection.

The 11th Annual Ghost Walks hosted by the Frontier Historical Society are held the last three weekends during October, and this year the full moon falls over the middle weekend. Whether by moonlight or lantern light, visit the ghosts that haunt Glenwood’s pioneer cemetery on and around Halloween. They are familiar Western icons like gunslingers Kid Curry and John Doc Holliday. Other apparitions have less storied pasts but provide a peek of what life was once like for residents of Glenwood Springs. Listen carefully and keep an eye out for the phantoms of the town’s founding fathers, merchants, miners and ladies-of-the-evening as they recount the blessings and burdens of life in the 1800’s.

Tours leave promptly from the trailhead to Linwood Cemetery, located at 12th and Bennett in downtown Glenwood Springs, from October 15 – 31, at 7:00, 7:45, 8:30 and 9:15 PM on Fridays and Saturdays, and at 7:00, 7:45 and 8:30 PM on Sundays. Because the Ghost Walks have been extremely popular, advance ticket purchase is highly recommended. Tickets are $15 per person and are on sale now. Call 970-945-4448 to purchase and for additional details see http://www.glenwoodhistory.com/events.htm. Bring a flashlight or lantern and dress warmly. The trail to the cemetery is unpaved, making sturdy shoes a must.

The Ghost Walk Package at Lavender and Thyme Bed and Breakfast includes two tickets to the event and overnight accommodations for the weekend. The Ghost Walk is sell-out every year, so we encourage you to make your plans for the date and time of your Ghost Walk adventure and your lodging reservation soon.

Ghost Walk Package Availability and Rates:
Ghostwalks are this year offered during three weekends in October:
October 15, 16, or 17, 2010
October 22, 23, or 24, 2010
and October 29, 30, or 31 (Halloween evening), 2010
There are four (4) walks per evening at the following times:
7:00, 7:45, 8:30 and 9:15 PM

Price: $ 240.00 per room for the weekend at Lavender & Thyme, which is two nights accommodation and two Ghost walk tickets.

Hope to see you in October in Glenwood Springs!

Maroon Bells Guided Bus Tour is the Perfect Way to Take in the September Fall Colors

2010-08-26T15:06:00.002-06:00

Glenwood Springs and the Roaring Fork Valley are ideal for a fall visit-- the summer crowds have left, the days are warm and the nights are crisp, and there's no better place to catch the changing Aspen leaves. Lavender & Thyme Bed & Breakfast is the ideal place to turn in after a day of hiking, biking or just sightseeing in our beautiful mountain and valley setting. We'll treat you to a tour on the Maroon Bells Guided Bus Tour from Aspen Highlands, which delivers passengers to the base of the famed Maroon Bells-- one of the most photographed natural attractions in the United States. A pair of passes for this tour are included in all September stays with us. From the base, visitors can depart the bus for a short and incredibly scenic hike to Crater Lake (1.8 miles one way) or one of the longer hikes like Buckskin Pass (4.8 miles to the top of the pass), where you might see the resident Dall sheep grazing. No matter how far your adventure takes you on the trail, a trip to these 14,000 foot Colorado peaks is memorable.

After Labor Day and before October, you can catch the Maroon Bells tour on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays through the end of September. All of the Maroon Bells buses depart from Aspen Highlands Ski Area. Buses will leave every 20 minutes starting at 9:05am until 2:05pm, then on the hour and half hour until 4:30pm with the last bus returning to Highlands at 5:00pm. There is plenty of free parking at Aspen Highlands or you can take the free Castle Maroon Bus from downtown to reach Aspen Highlands.

The driver and tour guide will point out areas of interest and geographical features, describe the wildlife, and tell you some of the area’s history on your way to the Maroon Bells. When you arrive at Maroon Lake at the base of the Bells you may return on any later bus, affording you the opportunity to hike, take a guided nature tour from 10:00am to 2:00pm, picnic (there are no food vendors at the Maroon Bells), take pictures or have a moment of solitude. Remember a jacket, walking or hiking shoes, and of course, a camera. Tickets can be purchased at Four Mountain Sports at Aspen Highlands Village, and they're $6 for adults and $4 for kids 6-16.

Stay with us at Lavender & Thyme Bed & Breakfast, and we'll make sure you set out after having had a hearty breakfast. We can arrange picnic lunches to take along, and the valleywide Roaring Fork Transit Authority bus system can take you from our location in downtown Glenwood Springs all the way into Aspen and the Maroon Bells tour.

For more information on the Maroon Bells bus tour, check http://www.rfta.com/MusicMaroonBells2010.pdf

To chat with us at Lavender & Thyme about this tour and all there is to do in September and October, give us a call at 1-866-526-3822 or book now here. We hope to host you in the idyllic autumn weeks ahead!

GLENWOOD CAVERNS ADVENTURE PARK KICKS OFF SECOND SEASON OF MUSIC ON THE MOUNTAIN ON AUGUST 14

2010-07-30T09:05:00.000-06:00

Plan your next stay at Lavender & Thyme Bed & Breakfast to coincide with the Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park Music on the Mountain series, which begins on Saturday, August 14. This year’s concert series will include six evenings of live music and drink specials on top of Iron Mountain, with free tram rides and admission in exchange for a canned food donation for the LIFT-UP food pantry. Guests will be able to ride the tram for free, up to a $12 value, with the donation of at least one can of food per rider, beginning at 4 p.m. on the day of each concert. The bands will perform from 6 – 10 p.m.

“The Music on the Mountain concerts were so popular and so much fun last year, that we decided to continue and expand the series this year,” explained Steve Beckley, who owns Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park with his wife Jeanne. “We have a great line up of bands and are really looking forward to seeing how many cans of food we can collect for LIFT-UP.”

Last year, the Adventure Park collected more than 800 cans of food from its two Music on the Mountain concerts. Beckley added, “LIFT-UP serves more and more families every year. We are hoping that we can really come together as a community and fill up the shelves at the food pantry this fall.”

Starcher Hutsen will kick-off the concert series on Aug. 14 with a unique blend of acoustic sounds, featuring Stan Orr, vocals and rhythm guitar; Matt Stinson, lead guitar and vocals; Sonja Linman, keyboard; Carson Wilde, drums; and Kelly Gabossi, vocals. Starcher Hutsen came together in 2006 quite by accident when neighbors Matt and Stan discovered their common passion for guitars. At their first gig as a band, the club owner asked Kelly to join them for a couple of songs and they’ve been together ever since.

Upcoming shows include: Rock Dogs, high-energy rock-n-roll grooves, on Aug. 21; Derringer, the region’s hottest country rock band, on Aug. 28; KrossroadZ, an eclectic blend of dancing music, on Sept. 11; Cottonwood Acoustic, bluegrass originals and newgrass jams, on Sept. 18; and The Missing Link Band will wrap up the season with rock and R&B on Sept. 25. The Glenwood Springs Post Independent, The Aspen Times and KSPN Radio have joined Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park as media partners for the series.

The Lookout Grille and the Snack Shack will be open for dinner and refreshments during the concerts, with $2.50 Coors Lights, $3 Coronas and glasses of wine, and $4 well drinks. Guests will not be allowed to bring food or alcohol into the park. The Adventure Park’s rides and attractions will be open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. During the concerts, a Day Pass will cost just $27 with the free tram ride, and will include unlimited access to the Alpine Coaster, new Giant Canyon Swing, Ft. WhereAmI maze, Bungee Trampolines, 4D Ride Theater, Laser Tag, Demon the Mechanical Bull, Wild West Wagon, Speleobox cave simulator, Doc’s Rock climbing wall and Giddy Up! Western ride.
