Located right off Highway 285, on the grounds of the Bailey Lodge and Riverdale Village in Bailey, Colorado is the Little Bit Lodge, with the Pike National Forest right in the backyard. Enjoy a quiet respite only an hour from Denver, in this one bedroom, one bath lodge. It can accommodate kids with two additional cots.

The central location enables you to easily visit Conifer, Evergreen, Georgetown, Breckenridge, and Kenosha Pass to see fall colors. Bailey is a joy itself, a true unspoiled original mountain town.

About the host

Host profile image
I am a retired school teacher, having a rewarding career of 40 years of teaching in Rocky Ford, Fort Morgan, and Aurora, Colorado. I have always been interested in the tourism industry and have decided to share my sweet little lodge in Bailey, Colorado with travelers. It is a cozy respite from the city and a return to nature is so refreshing. A stay in the mountains is good for the soul! I hope you enjoy your stay! Linda

Why they chose this property

Little Bit Lodge is my privately owned little piece of mountain paradise. It is next to the Bailey Lodge and is located in the residential side of Riverdale Village. Several of the residential units are short term rentals, some are long term rentals, and some are lived in year round. It is a sweet and welcoming community. There are always guests at the Bailey Lodge, so it is perfect for short term rentals.

What makes this property unique

Enjoy the eleven acre grounds, the sounds of the river, BBQ and picnic area; the communal yard and flowers. (Please note, the outdoor swimming pool is not available summer of 2026, but there is an indoor public pool at the high school just down the road.) A short walk will take you to the North Fork of the South Platte River or the catch and release fishing pond. Great location right on HWY 285 will take you on many day trips to neighboring mountain towns. The historic old Colorado town of Bailey is only two miles away, a true Colorado gem!
