The Silver Lake Lodge – A Successful Turnkey Mountain Bed & Breakfast

Perched high above Idaho Springs with panoramic alpine views, The Silver Lake Lodge offers a rare opportunity to own a fully operational 8-room bed and breakfast just 45 minutes from Denver. This grand log home spans over 6,000 square feet and exudes Colorado mountain charm with rustic luxury finishes throughout.

The lodge welcomes guests with a warm and inviting atmosphere, highlighted by a double-sided stone fireplace connecting the living and dining areas. A professional-grade kitchen supports full-capacity hosting with two ovens, stoves, dishwashers, and microwaves—perfectly equipped for events or large gatherings.

Each guest suite includes an ensuite bath, with some offering private balconies and electric fireplaces. An additional living room allows for flexible guest relaxation featuring an electric wood-burning stove. The owner’s private apartment is located on the lower level and includes a kitchenette and sitting area.

A large deck extends across the main level of the home with ample space for dining, lounging, and taking in the breathtaking mountain scenery. The expansive indoor-outdoor flow is ideal for hosting weddings, retreats, and events year-round.

There’s an attached three-car garage, along with dedicated off-street parking reserved for guests.

Residents who join the St. Mary’s POA enjoy access to two private, stocked trout lakes. Nearby, there are public trails, snowshoeing paths, and ATV routes that provide endless outdoor adventure. You’re just 15 minutes from I-70, 20 minutes to historic downtown Idaho Springs, and 30 minutes to Loveland Ski Area, offering the perfect balance of peaceful seclusion and convenient access to skiing, dining, shopping, and hot springs.

Whether you’re seeking a profitable turn-key hospitality business, a multi-family mountain retreat, or a one-of-a-kind residence, this is a rare offering in the heart of Colorado’s high country.
