The Victorian, two-story Bread House perches atop a hill with deep, purple accents and massive floor-to-ceiling windows. This lodging is one of the oldest homes in Silver Plume from those early days of incorporation. The vacation rental has been recently renovated but maintains those vintage vibes with polished wood floors, antique rugs and a clawfoot tub perfect for soaking those weary muscles. The house can fit six guests comfortably with three bedrooms and two baths — plus a parlor, because you’ve entered the 1800s — but you get to have all the modern luxuries like a dishwasher and Wi-Fi.
What makes it special?
Did we mention The Bread House is owned by the seasonal Bread Bar? Located in an 1800s bakery, the bar slings fancy cocktails in the light-filled storefront. Order a Clifford Griffin (rye, amaro, lemon, red wine) and read up on the local legend who owned 7:30 mine that’s set 1,500 feet above the municipality. Fun Fact: The mine was named 7:30 because he didn’t make his workers go in at the traditional 6:30 a.m.
If the elevation is hitting you a little hard, grab some water and a zero-proof No Bones Tabor, which is a concoction of blackberry sage jam, citrus and soda. Dine on a charcuterie board and buy a classic Bread Bar ceramic mug before walking the short distance back to your lodgings to rest and repeat your day tomorrow.
