Howdy Folks!


Today we will be serving two of my favorite soups, Cowboy Buffalo and Broccoli and Cheese. The fun doesn’t stop there. We will be having Butterscotch and Onion Garlic muffins for today. But the best part of the day is still the world-famous Cornbread. That will be served all day so get up here and enjoy all of these options.

Very soon, we will be switching over to fall hours. I will be keeping you all posted on what those hours will be but they are unpredictable at this time due to short staff, unpredictable weather and the slowing down of the tourist season. It is really important to give us a call at 970 586 5397 to see when those hours will be happening.

Have a fun and safe day.

What a great day today is going to be. The leaves are beginning to change colors and I heard yesterday a first bugle of an elk. Today we are having some yummy Red Chili and some delicious Cream of Mushroom soup. That is followed up with some home-baked muffins, Blueberry and Peanut Butter. The Cornbread will be served all day as well.

We would also like to thank Darrell Speer, for a wonderful and interesting presentation that he gave last night at the Enchanted Evening presentation. Next Wednesday our own Curators will be given an arm-chair walking tour. Leave your walking shoes at home and come and hear about the Baldpate Inn, its history of the building, and its architecture. It should be a highly interesting presentation.

“Movie Mondays” are our newest promotion. We will be showing the “Seven Keys to Baldpate” movies. That will be featured every Monday starting September and running until we close for the season! Join us for our fresh soup and salad buffet lunch with our delicious homemade pie and afterwards, spend some time in our cozy library by the fire with some popcorn and beverages! Doesn't this sound like a perfect way to spend a fall Monday afternoon? Only $25 dollars per guest!

Have a fun and safe day,

Boy, is today going to be lots of fun. First of all the soups are Cowboy Buffalo and Broccoli and Cheese. The muffins today are lots of fun. Lois was experimenting and came up with this brand new recipe. The Baldpate Inn is proudly serving Strawberry-Rhubarb muffins. Those will go along with our Tropical Paradise muffins as well.  You can not forget about the world-famous Cornbread as well.

There is more to do here at the Baldpate Inn today. It is still College Daze here at the Baldpate Inn. Wear your college gear, ask a staff member about their college, or tell them an old war story or two from your college days. There is also a yo-yo competition today. Come in and challenge your son, daughter, wife, husband, grandkids, grandparents, staff member, or if you are really really lucky you might even get to challenge Lois herself. Yo-yo are provided but please feel free to bring your own if you have it.

Have a fun and safe day!
