Breakfast in the dining room includes raspberry pancakes, baked goods and Nancy's special breakfast drink, a combination of fruit juice, fresh fruit and yogurt. Saltair is convenient to shopping, restaurants, the arts, sightseeing and attractions. 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.
