The Golden Bungalow-2 Bedroom

This two bedroom charming 1930’s brick bungalow is one of the few legally permitted short term rentals in Golden Compliant with Golden's Tourist Home ordinance operating under City of Golden Permit 23-032. Recently remodeled kitchen. Large great room with 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. Super fast Fiber optic WiFi.
You will enter through the Blue front door and have the entire upper level and Private back deck with views of the foothills and CSM "M" and the Barbeque Grill in the fenced backyard. This private home is a ranch floor plan with everything on one level. There's a sofa bed in the front parlor room and a sofa bed in the family room so the home can comfortably sleep 8. No parking on the driveway on the far left which is used by the neighbors below which have their own separate space, entrance, furnace, parking, all around in the back of the house on the lower level where you probably won't even notice them.
The large dining table in the great room is perfect for family meals cooked in the mountain modern and fully equipped kitchen. (Includes spices and basics but not your groceries). Just off the great room is a private deck overlooking the foothills to the west and you can see the Colorado School of Mines "M" from the deck and great room. You will enjoy the option to have your morning coffee or evening conversations and casual meals on the peaceful deck.
Check in via lockbox on the front door.
We respect our guests privacy but live nearby in case guests have any needs, questions or problems during their stay. We do have bus service down the block. That connects to RTD light rail station on the W line at the Jefferson County Courthouse building.
You will appreciate the Convenient Location for all the activities in Golden, the Mountains, and Boulder. It's a neighborhood with mostly older single family homes/duplexes but right next to downtown. We have para-sailing, kayaking, hiking, biking, climbing, and even a beach at the Clear Creek Kayak park, museums both indoor and out, Colorado School of Mines, Mountaineering Center, Miners Alley Playhouse, Concerts and events all summer long, a quaint downtown with shopping, bars and restaurants all walking distance from the Bungalow.

Good location, uncomfortable furniture

The location is a short drive to town. The back room is very pleasant, full of light. However, the couch and chairs in that room are not comfortable and the pullout bed in the back is intolerably uncomfortable.

Great location

Very cute place, no issues with checking in or out. Great space! The back room with the large table was awesome to have! Only problem we ran into was sleeping on the pull out couches was very uncomfortable. We ended up buying an air mattress to use. Also took awhile to get the refund back. Overall would stay again!

Christmas in Golden

We came to CO visit family in Evergreen over Christmas, so we used this property more like a hotel than a home. We left in the morning and returned at night to sleep. What we loved: • We selected this home because it is pet friendly, but decided to not bring pets. • Access to Golden and to I70. • Lots of living and entertaining space, with two living rooms and large kitchen. • Nice coffee station. • Clean and cute • Property manager was responsive. What we think others might want to know: • Bedrooms are tiny, but owners have done a nice job of making the most of the space. • There is only one bathroom.

Good Stay

Had a great time! Overall a nice stay but there were a few things that could have made it a little better. Location is awesome but not really walkable to downtown. You can see the mountains from the back porch which was cool. Furniture in living room is older and uncomfortable, making it hard for the family to hang out together. All in all though, a nice place to stay. If you want to be closer to the action in Golden, this one is for you.
