Brittany Hill was constructed in the early 1980s on an elevated lot in Thornton, Colorado.

The venue features Tuscan-inspired architecture with elegant interior appointments including crystal chandeliers, exposed wood beams, and a distinctive tower structure.
The Broadmoor was established in 1918 by Colorado Springs philanthropists Spencer and Julie Penrose. Built on land adjacent to Cheyenne Lake at the base of Cheyenne Mountain, the resort development built upon the legacy of Count James Pourtales, a wealthy Prussian who had developed the original casino on the property in the 1890s. The Broadmoor has expanded significantly with additional buildings constructed between 1961 and 2001, becoming one of Colorado's premier luxury resorts.
A small cabin was built on this 350-acre property in 1909 as a Westerfield family homestead. After the family abandoned the land during a harsh winter, Edwin and Riggi Welz took possession and established the Brook Forest Inn in 1919, offering running water, electricity, and baths. The inn has operated continuously since 1919 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009. The three-story timber-and-stone structure maintains its historic character while serving as a bed-and-breakfast with 16 uniquely appointed rooms.
