The Fireside’s History

Nearly 200 years old, the Fireside Inn’s original structure was constructed in the 1860’s, occupied by the Fletchers, one of the first families to ever settle in the town of Breckenridge. The Fireside Inn eventually came to be somewhere between then and now going through several different innkeepers along the way ... The last owners, Niki and Andy Harris, lived onsite and ran the inn for 19 years before Marci and Carey Peach purchased it in April of 2020. In May of 2021, the Peaches enlisted us, the Johnsons (Madi, Jonah, and Margot), as the onsite innkeepers and managers of the inn, and we have been proudly hosting guests ever since.

As one of only two hostels in Breckenridge, the Fireside Inn has a steady stream of travelers year round, with guests from all around the globe: winter skiers, summer bikers, CDT and CT hikers, families on vacation, weary travelers on long journeys, the inn welcomes folks from all walks of life with open hearts. With rooms ranging from hostel dorm style beds, a private suite with hot tub, double and triple occupancy rooms, all traveler types are accommodated. Guests can be found each night in the common areas coming together, breaking bread, and exchanging stories before heading out to adventure the next day.

The inn’s homeyness and warmth are still vibing. We are so grateful for all of the hands that have played a part in making the Fireside Inn what it is today, and consider ourselves very fortunate to be here, as part of the ever growing Fireside Inn family. We look forward to the years to come, serving our guests, seeing shining faces old, and new, warming up next to the fire here at the Fireside.
