Just off the great room is a private deck overlooking the foothills to the west where 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. Although The Golden Bungalow is pet friendly, pets must be PRE-APPROVED. In order for us to keep the home clean for any future guests that may suffer from pet allergies, we do ask for a small, per pet fee for the extra cleaning involved to ensure our home is dander free for our future guests who may suffer pet allergies. Also for the safety of our home and your family pet, we politely ask you to use the provided crate or your own if your pet cannot accompany you when you are away from the home. We also have permanent guests residing below the Bungalow that will be sharing the fenced backyard. Check in via the lockbox on the front door. Guests enter through the front (Blue) door and have the entire upper level, the back deck with Barbeque Grill in the shared fenced backyard. Parking for 3 cars in front of and along the side of the house; no parking on-street and no parking on the driveway down to the left (reserved for guests residing below).

We appreciate you choosing our home to spend your family holiday. Thank you for leaving the house the same as received. We look forward to future visits!
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.
