The Spotlight on The Silk Pincushion

Cozy Victorian Retreat Close to Red Rocks


The Silk Pincushion is a charming, Victorian-style bed and breakfast in Golden, Colorado, offering a peaceful, homey vibe just minutes from some of the state's top concert venues. Nestled in a quiet neighborhood with mountain views and a beautiful garden, this 3-star B&B blends small-town comfort with easy access to live music and outdoor adventure. Guests enjoy free WiFi, private parking, and rooms with thoughtful amenities like air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, and allergy-free linens. Select rooms even feature kitchenettes, perfect for longer stays or a more independent experience.

Why Concert-goers love it

Just 7 miles from the legendary Red Rocks Park and Amphitheater, The Silk Pincushion is a fantastic base for music fans. After a high-energy show, return to this peaceful haven for a quiet night’s rest—far enough from the crowds, but close enough for a short drive or ride share. The 4:00 PM check-in and 11:00 AM check-out offer a bit of flexibility, and Golden’s walkable downtown offers cafes and transit options if you’re not driving.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends seeking a laid-back, scenic stay
  • Solo travelers attending a must-see concert
  • Couples turning a show into a romantic weekend
  • Music fans looking for a quiet, comfy recovery space
  • Budget-conscious fans who value charm over hotel chains

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, The Silk Pincushion serves up a delicious American or vegetarian breakfast daily—think fresh pastries, fluffy pancakes, and fruit, perfect for late risers. For lunch or dinner, the B&B is within walking distance of Golden’s cozy eateries, local breweries, and coffee shops, many with late-night hours.

Nightlife Options

Golden may be quieter than downtown Denver, but it still offers a strong local scene. You’ll find craft beer bars, casual lounges, and riverside patios nearby. For live music, head to Red Rocks or explore Denver’s clubs just 25 miles away.

What People Say

Guests love the charming decor, friendly hosts, and peaceful atmosphere. Many reviewers highlight the “home away from home” feel, the hearty breakfasts, and the perfect location for events at Red Rocks. The garden and picnic area are also favorite features for unwinding after a big night.

Areas for Improvement

This isn't your typical hotel, so there's no 24/7 front desk or room service—but for many, that's part of the charm. Some guests mention that soundproofing between rooms could be better, and light sleepers may want to bring earplugs.

The Bottom Line

The Silk Pincushion offers cozy comfort, genuine hospitality, and a relaxing retreat just a short drive from some of Colorado’s best live music venues.

Robert S, Crest Hill, visiting Red Rocks Amphitheatre Mon, 25 September 2023

Dennis and Judy are wonderful hosts. We have never stayed at a bed and breakfast before and felt a little uncomfortable. That was soon relieved, and we truly loved the experience and our stay. The "at home" feel is something that you never get at a hotel.

Liked: Very "at home" feel and our hosts were amazing! We met several other visitors from across the country and a couple from Germany and had great conversations over breakfast. This is not something that happens at a hotel!
Disliked: Finding a parking spot was a small inconvenience.

Much better than a five-star...

Liked: Homely stay with exceptional breakfast made by Judy the landowner.Rooms impeccably clean and comfortable. Felt like home. This is an old but elegant aristocrat-like building, very well refurbished by the current owner who run the establishment.
Disliked: Lack of lift made us to carry our heavy luggage upstairs. Perhaps a cute little lift could be erected besides the staircase. A big lighted billboard on the highway and some signage indicating the entrance would be a great help to the travellers arriving late in the evening.

Our stay was relaxing, comfortable...

Liked: Judy and Dennis were so personable. They greeted us at the front door upon arrival and we had a brief, very comfortable conversation. They shared their ideas of where we could go to dinner and they told us about the property.The bed was comfortable, the room was clean and we had everything we needed.In the morning breakfast was delightful! We shared stories with Judy, Dennis and another wonderful couple, ate so well and we sat around the table enjoying each other’s company for well over an hour.
