Your relaxing vacation begins with the arrival of a delicious breakfast tray of hot muffins and fresh fruit brought to your door. Enjoy breakfast in bed or on the terrace - your choice. Juices, a coffee maker and a selection of coffees and teas are always available in your room or suite.

We are the Redden Family.

Father, Rex, is the natural log builder in the family, with 30 years of honing lumberjack skills culminating most recently into the "axe-peeled" hand crafted log pavilion (The Lodge Mahal) for our guests to enjoy.

Mother, Susie, designed and built the Lodge Log Home from 1984 to 1996, when she opened the Black Forest B&B with the Loft Suite and His & Hers rooms. Since then there has been a lot of growth:

1994 - Our 1600 sq. ft. Haven House with indoor pool
1998 - The Ark Suite with fireplace and whirlpool tub
2003 - Our Cabin, Bunkhouse, and Lodge Rental
2004 - Our Chalet House and Log Pavilion

Daughter, Faith, and son, Alan, were born into the innkeeping business in 1992 and 1994 respectfully. They are home schooled and available every morning to serve your breakfast trays.

If you are a lover of log homes or have ever dreamed of building your own log home, we will show you the ropes. Also, if you are planning on relocating to the Colorado Springs area, Susie is a licensed real estate broker with over 20 years experience with the Rawhide Company Realtors and can assist you with all your real estate needs.

This rustic mountain setting is complete with 20 rolling acres of Ponderosa pines to explore. And if you want to experience mountain living to the fullest extent, we will be more than happy to share our chores with you, from cutting firewood to planting Christmas trees.
