Denver Event Venues Wedding Charity
Dunafon Castle Charity Event Fees
The Dunafon Castle
The Dunafon Castle is located 15 miles west of Denver in beautiful Bear Creek Canyon on Denver Mountain Parks Road (Hwy 74). Located six miles west of Morrison, CO, and four miles east of Evergreen, Colorado, midway between Idledale and Kittredge.
The Castle, completed in 1941, is built on a peninsula presenting a breathtaking view of the crystal-clear waters of Bear Creek. This stunning seventeen acre setting with 1500 feet of private trout stream is surrounded by an open space park with walking, hiking and mountain bike trails that form part of the Jefferson County Open Space Complex.
Restoration of the property was undertaken immediately upon purchase. The new owners developed the restoration plan based on existing blueprints, photographs, personal interviews with the surviving members of the Wright and Barnes families, and recommendations of professionals, and artisans with period knowledge.
Maintenance and restoration of a property of this complexity and age is a daunting task. The first order of the day was a labor force! Step 13, a drug and alcohol rehab program, was used exclusively as the source. As many as twenty residents of Step13 were on site on a daily basis to restore the castle to the condition described by the designer and builder, Mr. Wright.
Presently the residence is occupied by a fulltime caretaker. The castle is occasionally used for charity benefits. Proceeds from events go to support the continuing successof those in Step 13, Central City’s Opera program for youth, and the YMCA.
The castle’s ponds have been restocked, and a plan to promote the development of fly fishing programs for youth in conjunction with the Colorado Fish and Game Department, local fly fishing organizations, and through a generous donation of fly fishing equipment from Eagle Claw is underway.
Located directly below two upper rooftops are the Carriage Hall, Lower Carriage Hall and the Celtic Room. Both the Carriage Hall and the Celtic Room boast a massive stone fireplace, stunning old world faux wall paintings and panoramic views of the castles’ stately grounds.
Upper Castle Rooftops
The castle boasts two rooftop areas measuring approximately 3,600 total square feet. The views are spectacular, overlooking four large trout ponds set within majestic pine trees, a waterfall feature and a twenty-one foot water wheel.
The Carriage Hall
Located directly underneath the lower castle rooftop with a designated pathway for the guests, is the majestic Carriage Hall. With freshly painted faux walls, a massive stone fireplace and newly constructed steel and glass arched windows, The Carriage Hall features a 1,000 sq foot area creating that intimate dining room setting for your
special occasion.
Lower Carriage Hall
Steps will direct you from the Carriage Hall to the Lower Carriage Hall which features an additional 1,200 sq feet for your entertainment and activities.
The Celtic Room
With approximately 800 square feet of space and a wine cellar located just around the corner.
With plush oversized furniture set in front of the roaring fireplace, The Celtic Room sets the stage for your memorable experience at The Dunafon Castle.

The charity event fees for up to 60 guests is $6,300, for up to 100 guests the rental charge is $7,900 and, for up to 150 guests, the rental charge is $8,900.

ABOUT GLEN EYRIE
Nestled in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, just minutes from downtown Colorado Springs, CO, sits a Christian conference and retreat center unlike any other. A ministry of The Navigators (along with NavPress and Eagle Lake Camp) Glen Eyrie Castle and Conference Center is a haven for those seeking time away from the demands and hectic schedule of everyday life to reconnect with themselves, their loved ones, and God. Our Christian Conference and Retreat Center is a place of serenity and rest—over 800 acres of stately pines and whispering aspen, lush lawns, sparkling waterfalls and majestic sandstone rock faces. The air is alive with the sound of birdsong and breeze through the trees—often the only sounds of a Glen Eyrie afternoon.
Time is kinder here. Time is yours. Sit under a shady tree and watch the bighorn sheep graze. Spend an hour (or two) reading on the Castle terrace. Stroll through the canyon or hike to Dawson’s Grave to savor amazing Front Range vistas.
With over 100 Christian retreats and Christian events offered each year, Glen Eyrie strives to meet you where you’re at in life. Revitalize your marriage at one of our renowned Marriage GetAways throughout the year. Learn how to parent God’s way at a family retreat. Lift your spirit (and your voice) at an encouraging women’s retreat. Meet other men who understand your burden at one of our challenging, inspiring men’s retreats. Experience new and exciting ways to connect with God at an Innovo Spiritual Retreat. And so much more.
Whichever Glen Eyrie Christian retreat or event you choose, you’ll experience the Glen Eyrie difference, with features such as built-in free time, intimate retreat sizes, delicious food, professional worship, and Christ-like hospitality. Arrive confident that God will meet you here, knowing that our staff has been praying for you by name leading up to your time here.
Glen Eyrie is a holy place, with a rich spiritual heritage and a history of changing lives through the grace of Jesus Christ. We welcome you to become a part of this tradition at Glen Eyrie.

Welcome to the Boettcher Mansion, Jefferson County’s premier special events site!
Built in 1917 as a summer home and seasonal hunting lodge for Charles Boettcher, the 110-acre estate was donated to the County in the 1970s. In 1975, the Mansion opened to the public as a unique venue for weddings and meetings.
Located in the heart of the Lookout Mountain Preserve, only 20 minutes from downtown Denver, this Arts & Crafts-style mansion offers a rare combination of historic authenticity and modern convenience.
On the National Register of Historic Places (”Lorraine Lodge” Building #84000858, also known as Boettcher Mansion, Charles Boettcher Summer Home; Jefferson County Conference & Nature Center).
Throughout the year we schedule special “Site Visit” dates to give prospective clients a chance to tour our venue outside of normal business hours. Appointments fill up quickly and dates/times are subject to change. Please call 720-497-7630 for an appointment.
