Jared and JaNae Barnes purchased the property in 1995 and have operated it ever since. The bed and breakfast is set amid 16 majestic spruce trees and surrounded by a small quarter-horse ranch. Quail, pheasant, ducks and geese are frequent visitors to the property. All rooms offer secluded views, and some have private porches. The Spruces is about 20 minutes from the downtown area and within 5 to 10 minutes of shopping and restaurants.
Children are welcome.
The gardens, surrounded by quaking aspen and blue spruce, are vibrant with wild columbine, lupine, wild geraniums, meadow rue and coreopsis in summer. The interior is a delightful step back in time. Five well-appointed rooms, named for wildflowers, have private baths. Your hosts serve a gourmet breakfast on the deck in summer and in the dining room in winter. Guests can relax in the reading room or browse in the gift shop.
