An Intimate Venue

As soon as my son and his fiancé walked into The Bristlecone, they knew it was the one, full of charm and intimate! Lucky for us that evening was almost a full moon and the night time view was spectacular.

We had our rehearsal dinner at Bristlecone and it was the perfect venue! Lots of space to spread out, great food, and fun location. We loved that we could bring in the alcohol to be served by a bartender and put out yard games. Highly recommend!

We had a micro wedding with 12 guests at RMNP, and hosted an intimate reception afterwards at Bristlecone Inn. I can't say enough good things about this venue, and in my opinion its an under rated gem.

We had such an amazing wedding. We had our wedding reception at the bristlecone and the entire planning process was very easy. Izzie was great with communicating through the entire process and the staff was very helpful the day of.

We held a Celebration Of Life Brunch for 50 friends and family. The venue was perfect. Staff was very professional and helpful. Beautiful views for group photos from anywhere on the decks.

We had our wedding reception at the Bristlecone Inn and could not have been more pleased. Izzie was a joy to work with as we planned our destination wedding and answered all of my questions.
