The Lumber Baron Inn & Gardens was named after a Scottish immigrant, John Mouat, who amassed a fortune in lumber back in 1890 and built this mansion for his family in Denver's Highland neighborhood. The mansion features cherry, oak, poplar, sycamore, maple and walnut—all adorned with distinct carvings and ornate detail. The Lumber Baron even provides a resident chef, a graduate of Western Culinary Institute, who provides guests with savory cuisine for a meal to remember!
