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 SPEC2019-0012. 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.

The upstairs 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.
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. Many guests opt to have their morning coffee or evening conversations and casual meals on the peaceful deck.
Check in via lockbox on the front door. Guests enter through the front (Blue) door and have the entire upper level and the backyard deck with Barbeque Grill in the fenced backyard. Parking for 3 cars in front of and along the side of the house, no parking on the driveway down to the left which is used by the neighbors below. We respect our guests privacy but live a few miles away 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.
Very Convenient for all the activities in Golden, the Mountains, and Boulder. 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, a quaint downtown with shopping, bars and restaurants. Most things are open at least partially now and everybody is being careful to control transmission of coronavirus but many people are opting for outdoor activities in the mountains and trails surrounding Golden and cooking and eating their own meals at home.

Guests 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 backyard. Parking for 3 cars in front of the house.
City of Golden Permit SPEC2019-0012

We generally meet our guests to answer any questions at check in but there is also a key in a lockbox on the front door for you to arrive later in the evening. We respect our guests privacy and live a few miles away in case guests have any needs, questions or problems during their stay.

It's a neighborhood with mostly older single family homes/duplexes but right next to downtown. Very Convenient for all the activities in Golden and Boulder. We have para-sailing, kayaking, hiking, biking, climbing, and even a beach at the Clear Creek Kayak park. Concerts and events all summer long, museums both indoor and out, The Colorado School of Mines, Mountaineering Center, Miners Alley Playhouse, movies, shopping, bars and restaurants, it's very easy to get to the mountains on I-70 and all areas of the Denver Metro Area. It's really just a cool town to be in.
This Listing is Compliant with Golden's Tourist Home Ordinance operating under Tourist Home Permit PC18-02. Please help us maintain our small town character. Thanks!

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.

The building is very well insulated for noise so the below guests don't hear anything except heavy walking on the hardwood floors.

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.

The Golden Bungalow is a comfortable house in town. It is easy to find and was sparkling clean. The 2 queen beds are comfortable and the jetted tub in the bathroom was wonderful.

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.

Golden Bungalow was Great!
The Golden Bungalow was perfect for our family's stay. The location was great. Very close (walking distance) to downtown and all of the restaurants and shops. It was clean, very well equipped and had everything we needed. It is much bigger inside than it looks from the outside. Thank you to John and Julie for providing such a nice and comfortable place for us to stay!

Easy walking into downtown Golden.
This property is an easy walk into town. The property is accurately described, clean, and quiet. It is a bungalow but with a large great room extending out the back with a patio. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again. Great communication with owners.

This is a great property in the residential area of Golden, which means it’s quiet but still very close and convenient to everything Golden has to offer!

Perfect Place in Downtown Golden
This was a great place to stay in downtown Golden. It was cute, clean, and provided anything that you needed. The property owners were so accommodating and responsive which helped us tremendously when dealing with small children! We enjoyed being close to downtown and all the amenities that it offers. It was cozy, warm, and a perfect place to stay during your Golden vacation!
