About this property

FALL COLORS ARE HERE! DATES AVAILABLE FOR WINE FESTIVAL! BOOK NOW!

This recently remodeled comfortable three-bedroom home has two baths with a one car garage, and is located at 1245 Golden Road in Lake City. It will likely meet all your family’s needs.
The kitchen is completely stocked with all needed equipment.
You’ll find a glass top range for easy meal preparation and clean up, a microwave, dishwasher, sink with pull-out sprayer and garbage disposal, Keurig coffeemaker (so bring your favorite pods), toaster, mixer, electric skillet, griddle, crock pot, and a new 4 burner gas grill outdoors for cooking those burgers and steaks, etc.
WIFI available for your use....password is posted on modem.
PLENTY OF ROOM TO SPREAD OUT!
The family room has a cozy wood burning stove (wood provided), DISH TV with VCR/DVD (Assorted Discs available), and the queen sleeper sofa with comfortable innerspring mattress provides a spare sleeping area. The living room area has a fireplace and additional space for relaxing and playing games.

The three bedrooms each have a queen bed.There are 2 full bathrooms, and a washer and dryer are also available off the master bath (please bring your favorite laundry supplies). All bedding and towels are provided.

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. Recent relaxing of regulations allows for driving your ATV directly from house to trails.

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, Fall Wine Festival, 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. Just pack a couple of changes of clothes, grab a few groceries, and let the fun begin!

No Smoking, Please. Pets are welcome subject to a $50 cleaning fee.

So glad we selected this cabin!

On the outside the home looks a little rough, but inside it's very nice! The kitchen is large w/ granite countertops, and there are 2 eating areas-table that seats 4 and a breakfast bar w/ 4 stools. There are 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms. The ensuite bathroom is large, washer & dryer included. Both bathrooms have granite countertops. The view from the large porch is beautiful! It is very close to town in a quiet neighborhood. Parking can be a challenge if you have large vehicles. We couldn't get the cable TV to work-the owner offered to help us figure it out, but we were fine w/o it. The owners were easy to work with. We would definitely stay here again on our next visit to Lake City.

Wonderful location and views

This nice and neat house is in a good, quiet location on a hillside above Lake City. It's an easy place to get to and convenient to town. It was clean and everything was in working order. The views are wonderful. Our only suggestion to improving our stay would be an outdoor space in order to better appreciate the view. Something like an outside picnic table would be great!

Mountain Paradise!

This place was awesome! Well hidden in the trees, but close enough to walk to town. Beautiful view of the town below. The cabin had been redone and was well kept. There were 5 adults and 2 children and we had plenty of room for all of us. The owners notified us and kept us informed of helpful things to do. All of us said it was a 5 star place! We loved it!

Labor Day on Golden Road

Generally speaking it was as advertised. It is the season for mice to try to come in and we did have some. I took one outside myself. The owners did apologize and vowed to take care of the problem. I would recommend the space.

Excellent stay

This was probably the best stocked cabin we've rented as far as items in the kitchen and bathroom. The layout of the cabin was roomey for 4 adults and 2 kids. The front porch was nice. Since you're elevated on a hill over other cabins in the area coupled with a longer driveway, you feel more secluded and private than you are. It was a little tricky backing two trailers and two vehicles in but we made it work. The single car garage was nice for a side by side to stay dry during rain showers. The only thing we might like to see changed was updating the furniture in the living room. We've been to Lake City 4 times and my in laws 6 and this has been our favorite cabin so far.

Comfortable Convenience to the Mountains, Gandalf!

We enjoyed staying at On Golden Road very much. The Kuders were very informative and kept us up to date on everything we needed to know. We hiked Mountains three days out of the seven and rested very well in the house. Handies, Redcloud & Sunshine are available down one road and Uncompahgre was down another road. The kitchen was great for preparing our morning and evening meals and preparing for lunch on the trail. The dining table doubles as a fun gaming table. If you need an afternoon nap, there are plenty of options! The location is nestled in the middle of a nice set of homes and the view from the front porch and dining area is lovely. We enjoyed downtown Lake City one day and drove to Ouray and Telluride on another day. While it may take a little longer to get to Lake City, it was a good week in the Kuders' house.

Very nice but with room for improvement

The cabin was very clean and hospitable. I would advise replacing the mattresses and pillows on both beds due to being aged and very uncomfortable. The refrigerator was off when we arrived and took approximately two days for the items we placed in it to cool down. The air conditioner couldn't keep up with the size of the cabin and thus didnt cool during the day. On a positive note, the location was perfect for our group who were there to ride side x sides on the Alpine Loop.

We feel like the Kuders are family- they have such a beautiful home and it is our privilege to be their guests. The home is well appointed with an updated kitchen (we love to cook on vacation) and the best view in town. This home allows our family to.reconnect and revive.

Clean & Quiet Cabin with a View of Roundtop Mountain

This nice and neat house is in a good, quiet location on a hillside above Lake City. It's an easy place to get to and convenient to town. It was clean and everything was in working order. There are two bedrooms and bathrooms: the master bedroom and a small bedroom at the opposite side of the house. There is also a very small room with a futon that could be used as a bedroom.

On Golden Road

This property had everything you could ask of a vacation cabin in Lake City. Absolutely best view of Mountains from very nice deck with swing and bench. The owners have supplied the cabin with just exactly the things we would have if we owned the cabin ourselves. Great cabin. We had a great time.

About the host

Hosted by Dennis and Deanna Kuder

Host profile image
Dennis and Deanna Kuder are an ordained United Methodist Clergy (Retired) and retired teacher/non-profit foundation director (Retired). 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, and in 2014 we began a total remodel of the interior so our guests will enjoy a like new experience. 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 have both recently retired 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.

Why they chose this property

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!

What makes this property unique

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!
