The Golden Bungalow-2 Bedroom

This charming 2 bedroom, 1 bath 1930’s brick bungalow is walking distance to downtown Golden and features a large great room perfect for family gatherings with a gourmet kitchen and peaceful deck in the back overlooking the Rocky Mountain Foothills.
The home is a ranch floor plan with everything on one level.  There's a pull out sofa bed in the front parlor room and second pull out sofa bed in the family room so the home can comfortably sleep 8.
This property is divided into 2 separate rentals, each with separate entries and parking. Recently remodeled kitchen. Large great room with a 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. Convenient to hiking trails and downtown Golden. It's in a neighborhood with mostly older single family homes/duplexes but right next to downtown Golden.
The large dining table in the great room is perfect for family meals cooked in the mountain modern and fully equipped gourmet kitchen. (Includes spices and basics but not your groceries). 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 respect our guests' privacy but live a few miles away in case guests have any needs, questions or problems during their stay. 
Close to hiking and biking trails on North Table Mountain and Chimney Gulch and Apex Trailheads which lead up to Buffalo Bill's Grave and Museum, Lookout Mountain Nature Center, Boettcher Mansion as well as Lookout Mountain Park. Closer to the downtown area, there are many microbreweries, restaurants with outdoor dining, museums, parks, and the Clear Creek Kayak course with many paved and unpaved walking paths in and around the Historic Downtown Golden main street and Coors Brewery Tour pickup. 
Very Convenient for all the activities in Golden, the Mountains, and Boulder. We have parasailing, kayaking, hiking, biking, climbing, tubing down the creek 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. We do have bus service down the block which connects to RTD light rail station on the W line at the Jefferson County Courthouse building.  
Easy access to Boulder, the Denver Metro Area or the Mountains for all your outdoor activities in our 300+ days of sunshine every year.
DURING SUMMER MONTHS ONLY: We have Evaporative Coolers for fresh air exchange and air conditioning. You may find the Evaporative Coolers running upon your arrival with windows open. We are trying to keep a fresh air flow circulating for the safety of our guests.  
 
This home is one of the few legally permitted short term rentals in Golden Compliant with Goldens Tourist Home ordinance operating under City of Golden Permit SPEC 2019-0012.

Great location
Very cute place, no issues with checking in or out. Great space! The back room with the large table was awesome to have! Only problem we ran into was sleeping on the pull out couches was very uncomfortable. We ended up buying an air mattress to use. Also took awhile to get the refund back. Overall would stay again!

Cute little cottage
This cute little cottage had a surprising amount of room once inside. The deck out back was nice and everything was very clean. We could never get anything on the tv’s but there were lots of fun games to play.

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.

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!
