The home is a ranch floor plan with everything on one level. There's a pull out sofa bed in the front parlor room and second pull out sofa bed in the family room so the home can comfortably sleep 8.
This property is divided into 2 separate rentals, each with separate entries and parking. Recently remodeled kitchen. Large great room with a cozy fireplace and deck with grill is perfect for a staycation, remote work alternative, family gatherings, viewing the local colleges, visiting parents and grandparents or just home away from home.

The large dining table in the great room is perfect for family meals cooked in the mountain modern and fully equipped gourmet kitchen. (Includes spices and basics but not your groceries). Just off the great room is a private deck overlooking the foothills to the west where you can see the Colorado School of Mines "M" from the deck and great room. Many guests opt to have their morning coffee or evening conversations and casual meals on the peaceful deck.
Although The Golden Bungalow is pet friendly, pets must be PRE-APPROVED. In order for us to keep the home clean for any future guests that may suffer from pet allergies, we do ask for a small, per pet fee for the extra cleaning involved to ensure our home is dander free for our future guests who may suffer pet allergies. Also for the safety of our home and your family pet, we politely ask you to use the provided crate or your own if your pet cannot accompany you when you are away from the home. We also have permanent guests residing below the Bungalow that will be sharing the fenced backyard.
Check in via the lockbox on the front door. Guests enter through the front (Blue) door and have the entire upper level, the back deck with Barbeque Grill in the shared fenced backyard. Parking for 3 cars in front of and along the side of the house; no parking on-street and no parking on the driveway down to the left (reserved for guests residing below). We respect our guests' privacy but live a few miles away in case guests have any needs, questions or problems during their stay.
