Property Description

Welcome to Lazy Bear Lodge—a proven short-term rental and mountain retreat nestled in the foothills of Golden. Offering the rare combination of peaceful mountain living and convenient access to Denver, this property has averaged over $75,000 annually in gross rental income over the past four years, all without relying on high-maintenance amenities.

Designed with both guests and owners in mind, the home comfortably accommodates up to six guests and features multiple living areas plus a lofted game space complete with arcade games and shuffleboard. The outdoor setting is equally inviting, with a spacious deck for dining and a fire pit surrounded by towering pines—ideal for relaxing after a day exploring nearby trails, Red Rocks, or Rocky Mountain National Park.

Located in Coal Creek Canyon with easy access to Golden, Boulder, and Nederland, this property appeals to a wide range of visitors seeking a true Colorado experience without sacrificing convenience.

With a strong history of guest satisfaction (4.85 star average across nearly 200 reviews) and a recently approved Jefferson County short-term rental license (obtainable for new ownership), Lazy Bear Lodge offers a rare opportunity to step into a fully operational, income-producing asset.
