Lavender & Thyme Bed & Breakfast

This place is great! It has changed hands since the last reviewer was there. Now, it is so cute, very welcoming. The owner/​operator, Jan, is so nice, and very hospitable. She obviously has a knack for what people want in a B and B. She was helpful and had experience or information on everything local: restaurants, attractions etc.
As far as food goes, I am vegan so i am used to fending for myself come mealtime. But Jan went out if her way to make sure I had a nice breakfast. She even found recipes for vegan pancakes and vegan French toast and cooked them especially for me, which made me feel very pampered. Plus, lots of fresh seasonal fruit. I got the feeling that for omnivores, the breakfasts would be truly gourmet, but we were the only ones there, so I didn’t get to see what she normally puts out. She served breakfast according to our schedule which was also nice.
The rooms are small, like most B and Bs. They are cozy and quaint, and not overly decorated. The bed was extremely comfortable! The ceilings are quite low in some places, so you might let Jan know if you are very tall, so she can book you in the best possible room. That would be the only drawback to the place, is the rooms are a bit of a squeeze, but like I said, I think most B and Bs are like that.
All in all, we really enjoyed our stay, and Glenwood Springs is such a great place for a getaway.

After many years of stays at B&B’s all across the country we have never stayed at a house like this one where the host was a stinking, slobbering drunk! Unshaven and unwashed for MANY days, the man had clearly defecated in his pants as evidenced by his rancid smell! My daughter was TERRIFIED! and begged to stay somewhere else. We never got our breakfast as he was nowhere to be found in the morning. We packed our bags and left!: (

My romantic partner and I stayed there last summer (2007) for a long steamy weekend. Well, as steamy as it can get when you’re staying at Nana’s house. The building/​house itself is nice enough, it’s just that the owners and managers have no class. There were still Christmas decorations up. No kidding! I think they thought that it was charming. There’s nothing charming about dusty Christmas decorations in July.
The rooms were decorated like grandma’s house, with lace doilies, kerosene lamps, and old sewing machine tables. I get that there can be beauty in antiques, it just wasn’t here.
The dining room was just like the bedrooms, including a full set of grandma’s china in a huge, wall covering hutch, and dusty old lady sofa’s that no one ever sat on. Even the beautiful wrap around porch was a disaster, cluttered with odd colored nylon flags, mismatched furniture, and old bits of kitchy junk that must have been cute before the bargain basement sale.
That all probably would have been OK if our service had been superior. Sorry folks… The manager complained that the owner got all the profits while she worked her fingers to the bone. (You see, apparently the money’s in ownership.) Her husband was even worse. He was just back from Iraq and surly as hell. I got cold shivers whenever he was anywhere near me. Needless to say, we spent almost all of our time outside the B&B, in beautiful Glenwood Springs. Glenwood is a whole different chapter of this story.
