In 1927 the small log guest house was built, now-just northwest of the main building. In 1929 Charles Chapman built the beautiful log structure, as a home for the Wayne Stacey family. Both structures were built out of rough cut logs from the nearby forest and stand on natural foundations of moss covered stones.

In 1965 Dr. Curry Meyers bought the ranch and started to develop it as the Meyers 3M Guest Ranch. At this time he remodeled the interior of the main building to make it a restaurant. He also built the two story lodge building to the north of the restaurant. This building is used today as the lodging office.

At the time Curry Meyers took over, he was certainly very busy for he also bought and moved the older guest cabins that are found throughout the property. These came from the old Stead Ranch in Moraine Park at the time the Rocky Mountain National Park took over this area.

The 3M Guest Ranch name did not last long. Bill Meyers, a friend of Curry Meyers, suggested that it be named the Black Canyon Inn for its location and views of the Black Canyon, over MacGregor Ranch, in the Rocky Mountain National Park. Since that time there have been several other owners, notably Don & Ev Leonard.

Today, the Black Canyon Inn is under the ownership of Mr. Jim Sloan. Since the purchase of this property in 1992. Some of the older guest cabins have been replaced by lodge buildings, housing the condo's that are offered today. The fourth lodge building was completed in July 2000. Our ten-plex was completed in 2007 and has panoramic views of MacGregor Ranch. The secluded site continues to offer the same inviting atmosphere that drew the Stacy family here years ago.

The main building features the fine restaurant, Twin Owls Steakhouse. The restaurant is leased and managed by a long time resident of Estes Park, Mr. Edward Grueff and his family. The restaurant is known for its Colorado casual atmosphere and delicious choices in entrees. They can coordinate your upcoming wedding reception as well as a dinner party.

At this time the Black Canyon Inn, lodging, and the Twin Owls Steakhouse, restaurant, are two separate entities. If you wish to inquire on any of the services, please contact each of them individually.
