Lake City is the ultimate vacation destination, especially for lovers of the great outdoors. Peace and quiet abounds, and the pace of life is just what you make it. No stop lights, traffic jams, or rush-hour traffic…just time to enjoy the slow pace of this southwest Colorado community.
Our vacation home can be a comfortable home-base for your family’s vacation. Enjoy watching the hummingbirds and chipmunks and deer from the comfort of the swing on the covered porch or read a book or enjoy the fantastic views.
The outdoors activities are endless. Miles and miles of open stream trout fishing are a fisherman’s dream, and ATV/4-wheel drive trails are fantastic! Horseback riding is available, and bicycles (rentals available) are a fun way to see the area.
Mining history is everywhere, and fun to explore. The historic Alfred Packer Massacre site is just minutes away, and within easy walking distance you can wander through cemeteries with dates going back more than 100 years.
Hiking trails are just out the back door. Lake San Cristobal, for which Lake City was named, is a beautiful location for boating, fishing and relaxing, and only a few minutes’ drive. The Blue Mesa Reservoir, the largest lake in Colorado, is only 45 minutes away, with some of the best lake trout fishing in the state!
Plan day trips to the Black Canyon of the Gunnison, the famous Cliff Dwellings, or jeep trips over 4-wheel trails (rentals available locally). All offer experiences and breathtaking views that will last a lifetime and drive you to return year after year.
There are many annual events that are great fun for the whole family such as the craft fair, classical music festival, Fourth of July celebration, winter activities, and much more!
We offer special discounts to clergy, educators, fire fighters, law enforcement officers, and military...all people we respect and appreciate! Some off-season discounts may apply.

On Golden Road...Outdoors Adventures or Peace and Quiet
Year Purchased: 1977
Why the Owner Chose Lake City
We purchased this property when our sons were 6 and 10 and have watched them enjoy the beauty of the outdoors. We found the location to be ideal for all our interests and a joy to share with others through the years. We have had so many wonderful thank you letters from our loyal renters who return year after year to vacation in the moutains and escape the heat of the city and the fast-paced world that just isn't in Lake City! Buying this property was the very best thing we ever did, and it has brought such joy to our lives. Aging family members and grandchildren in other places is causing us to look at passing on the joy we have known to others so we can share that bond with the next generation of Lake City lovers!
The Unique Benefits at this House
Hiking, fishing, boating, Jeeping, ATV trails, mining history, beautiful views and watching the aspens turn to golden are some of the wonderfilled memories we hold dear. And there is nothing more beautiful than Christmas in LC! The 4th of July celebration brings lots of old-timers to town, and the festivals are great...year round activities are planned for tourists and locals alike, and the folks that reside in LC share a special bond that is so obvious even to the part-time resident or vacationer. Life-long friends will be found from visits here, but they may be from many other states! "Meet Me In LC" is common on the Christmas Cards each year!
Just a short walk to the trailhead for Crystal Peak and Crystal Lake...a nice day activity without ever getting in the car! Great fun for the active family.
A great place to find local history and to enjoy some quiet time in the woods...just a short walk away from the house!
Some of the oldest graves in the county...interesting history and beautiful views of the mountains and river...a short walk from the house.
Food needs and even video rentals available...Lake City Bakery has light lunches in addition to WONDERFUL baked goods...a must stop on the early morning walks...coffee and rolls!...YUM!!!
Get gas and supplies or rent a jeep for the day or week...other locations are also available in town for these services...compare prices before deciding.
Dan's has all the fishing supplies you need and can also fix you up with lessons and tours to get those big trout....a MUST stop for the fisherman!
Mail your letters here or for longer stays have your mail sent to General Delivery and stop by each morning to ask for your mail...very friendly service!
Owner's Map of Lake City
Dennis and Deanna Kuder are an ordained United Methodist Clergy and retired teacher/now non-profit child welfare employee. We have enjoyed coming to Lake City and sharing our home with many others through the years...helping others build memories of their own! We have tried to make this a warm and inviting place that is as comfortable as home for our guests. We want to provide a place to enjoy the beautiful mountains in a safe, comfortable environment without the highest prices that make it unaffordable for the average family. We encourage those who often are on a tight budget to come share our home and get a chance to enjoy the beauty we have so long enjoyed. As we are nearing retirement we also are looking for a new younger family to pass on this dream to, so if you are looking for an excellent investment property with the luxury of having the opportunity for family vacations, too, this might be the right place for you! Come for a visit to try it out or give us a call to discuss the potential.

Loved every minute of it! The cabin is great, the location is perfect, the area is magnificant! Why pay $100-$150 a night for a small 1-2 room motel/cabin, right in the middle of town when you can have a whole house/cabin for about the same price! Our ATV riding experience was the best we've had to date..you must visit this area. Enjoy, Mike & Paula Alexander.
Owner response:Thanks, Mike & Paula for your kind words! We're so glad you had such a wonderful experience visiting Lake City. Please tell your friends and come visit again! Deanna & Dennis

We recently stayed at the Kuders' and you could not have asked for a better place! The scenery was absolutely GREAT!!!! The house is close enough to town to enjoy, yet far enough for nice quiet, and relaxing time. We'll very likely stay again if the dates are available. Recommend it to all.
Owner response:Thanks Tammie! We hope you'll return very soon. Isn't the porch swing a relaxing place to soak it all in! Hope to see you soon! Dennis & Deanna Kuder

We loved staying at the house. The view was great!! Every day & night we saw deer just right outside the door of the house. And 2 days we saw a bear just down the street. The house was very clean and plenty of room for everyone. We would stay here again.
Owner response:Thanks Tammy! We're eager for you to return soon. Please tell all your friends about Lake City and your stay at "On Golden Road." The Kuders

A great place to vacation! You can do anything to make a great time. Terrific mountain view down to Lake City and accross to other tremendous mountain views. I particularly enjoyed the trout fishing and watching the deer nearby. Neat little shops the women enjoy and exploring and ATV trails for all. Interesting old mines to visit and a ghost town.
