Gary and Wini Ledford, the owners and innkeepers of the Carr Manor Boutique Hotel Bed and Breakfast of Cripple Creek, have been residents of Cripple Creek since 2004.


Before moving to Colorado, they were living in Apple Valley, California. Wini grew up in Apple Valley, where her family owned one of the largest integrated turkey ranches in the western United States. Her mother Francis Boynton Winkler moved to Apple Valley around 1919, and purchased a guest ranch, which she and her husband operated for Hollywood notables. Along with her Aunt Katherine Boynton, who also purchased the Yucca Loma Ranch two miles away, the ranchers became very well known in the early years.

The Ledfords had recently sold their development business in Apple Valley, where they had developed a Master Planned Retirement Community on Wini’s family ranch. When they first moved here, they purchased a home that had been originally owned by George and Emma Carr, who were some of the first discoverers of Gold in Cripple Creek. This house was a typical Victorian home. They set out to renovate it, and found that with retirement they needed something else to do.


The Inn was opened on Memorial Day in 2004. When you come to stay with us, you will also be greeted by ourselves our gracious staff and Innkeepers who love this historic building as much as we do. Our family’s primary objective for all of our guests is to make them feel at home.
