Eastholme, Historic house in Cascade, Colorado.
Eastholme is a two-story wooden boarding house and former summer resort inn in Cascade, Colorado, built in 1886 with eight gables and designed after elegant eastern hotels. A large porch spans the width of the front, and the interior holds turn-of-the-century antiques and a piano present since the late 19th century. The property also includes two cottages and a backyard brick patio with a gazebo.
The building was founded by three sisters who arrived in 1886 from New York state and established a boarding house operation. The expansion of rail transport through the region during this period brought a surge of visitors to the area.
The name Eastholme echoes the eastern hotels the Marriott sisters knew; the building was later called the East Home Hotel. Inside, turn-of-the-century antiques and a piano kept in the inn since the late 19th century remain. Before their marriage, Dwight and Mamie Eisenhower stayed here, as did her parents, the Douds of Denver.
Eastholme of the Rockies has operated as a bed and breakfast since 1988, with 2 cottages, 2 suites and 4 guest rooms; all have fireplaces, but the two third-floor guest rooms share a bathroom. A large porch runs across the front, and the backyard brick patio and gazebo are used for events such as weddings. Racers in the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb once soaked their wooden wheels in barrels in the yard.
Many visitors report hearing unexplained piano notes and footsteps throughout the building at night. Some have also claimed to spot a figure in a red satin dress, which makes this house of interest to those curious about such phenomena.
