About this property
Little Bit of Paradise
Travel over the river and through the woods to a little bit of vintage Colorado paradise! 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. It has a full kitchen to allow cooking or you can enjoy Bailey's restaurants just two miles down the road. 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. Nearby hiking, zipline, camping, and don't miss the beauty of Wellington Lake. Amenities at the lodge include outdoor community pool in the summertime, 11 acres to explore, playground, community BBQ and picnic gazebo, the Platte River, and a catch and release fishing pond. Enjoy this beautiful resort mountain environment as a quick getaway from the city for some rest and relaxation or an outdoor adventure. Or you can just sit on the porch and stare at the beautiful mountain scenery while listening to the river and smelling clean pine scented air. You can have a picnic on your private picnic table in the front yard. You will not be disappointed in this little bit of Colorado paradise!

About the host
Hosted by Linda Schmidke

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 area always guests at the Bailey Lodge, so it is perfect for vacation rentals.
What makes this property unique
Enjoy the eleven acre grounds, the outdoor pool, BBQ and picnic area; the communal yard and flowers. 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!
