Our Journey
From humble beginnings
Clear Creek Inn was born as a gathering place for friends and family. Location was important, so when Lloyd and Sam Yanis began this journey, they focused on a safe and accessible mountain location for their family first. Close enough to Denver and a large airport, but not too close as to lose the charm. Close to ski resorts, hikes, and pristine valleys and streams but with the convenience to make a business viable.
This humble, salmon colored house formed the basis of Clear Creek Inn with the reassuring sound of the river flowing by.

About Georgetown & The Front Range
Georgetown traces its roots to the mid 1800's during the gold rush. Initially founded on gold discovery, the towns prosperity grew due to the 1864 discovery of the Belmost silver lode. Many of the town's current buildings, such as the courthouse, Bowman-White house, and Georgetown Loop Railroad originated in this time period of expansive growth. At one point before the collapse of the Silver Boom, Georgetown's population exceeded 10,000. But it declined sharply until the mid 1950's as skiers descended into the Rocky Mountains.
​
Today, Georgetown has retained its rustic charm amidst the snowcapped peaks that define it. Quiet yet curious, charming yet effervescent, Georgetown has continued to host those seeking the mountain lifestyle.
