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!

Birthday getaway!

I decided I needed a getaway weekend with my daughters and to come see my best friend that lives in conifer and works at Craft Mt brewery for my birthday. This little cabin was perfect. Not to far from the brewery and her house and we were able to head down to Denver without to far of a drive. Super cute cabin the bed is amazing! This was perfect for the 3 of us. Thank you so much!!

Cutest Little Getaway

We loved staying at this cozy cottage. The location was beautiful and the cottage itself was adorable. It was very clean and organized. We loved that they had everything for cooking and cleaning. They also had a variety of games and things to do. The neighbors were all very friendly. One of our favorite things was having breakfast on their picnic table on the lake. Highly recommend.

Thank You Again

Denise and I are quickly becoming the number one renters at this location (Third stay). Relatives live in Bailey and this place is a blessing to us. Easy access to 285, Bailey, and the mountains. Have not used a lot of the amenities (play ground, pool, and fishing), but we see others doing so. Hope one day to just sit on the front porch and relax. Thanks.

Family Visit

Little Bit of Paradise was a perfect solution for my visit. I have family in the area and the location was ideal. My only regret is that I didn't have as much time to enjoy the property as I would have liked. Hopefully, I'll have an opportunity to stay again in the future and spend more time on the porch.

Don't Want To Tell You....

This place is great. Bailey does not have hotels, so VRBO is the way to go if you want to stay near town. This is a great little house for 2 people. I don't want to tell you about it (cause I want to keep it for me). Misty is great and Linda works with you for any special requests. Looking forward to our next getaway on Memorial Day (already booked).

Loved the cozy, comfortable cabin, within easy driving distance of beautiful aspen trees! My mom especially loved the gas fire. A neighbor helpfully told aby a nearby county road where I could park and get my daily walk in. Might consider adding aluminum foil, plastic wrap to your supplies,for leftovers, etc. Thanks!!

About the host

Hosted by Linda Schmidke

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 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!
