Jeff & Nicole Coutts
The story of Nicole, Jeff, and the Red Rosebud is, first and foremost, a love story.
It all began in 2014 in San Francisco at a leadership program for 98 people. That is where Nicole, a globetrotter from British Columbia, Canada, and Jeff, a Navy guy from Kansas City, Missouri met. Sparks grew into a slow burn that had them coming back to each other again and again. They were married in Colorado in 2016. In 2019 they added Archie, a little fur-baby bundle of joy that added more magic and fun to their life.
Ever since Nicole was in her 20’s, she dreamed of owning a bed and breakfast. Jeff was determined to help that dream come true. Together they searched for just the right place to make their dream a reality. They found it in the Red Rosebud. They became the new owners of the Red Rosebud Bed & Breakfast on June 21, 2022.
“We feel so excited and grateful for our new adventure, and look forward to the opportunity to meet so many kind and interesting people from across the country and around the world! We look forward to making memories with you in this beautiful place!”
Hello, my name is Archie.
Tiny, but mighty am I! At three years old, I am loving my new job at the Red Rosebud Bed & Breakfast. Playful, curious, and adorable are some of my defining traits. I have survived a poisoning and a deer attack so I’m pretty bad ass! My favorite pastime is lounging in the sun and I adore being doted on. Have you looked into my beautiful brown almond shaped eyes? I dare you not to fall in love with me! 😉
