Bailey Birthday Getaway

My son wanted to go to a cabin in the mountains for his birthday. We found Little Bit Lodge and it was beyond perfect! Lots of space and activities on the property for a kid to run around, close to the charming town of Bailey and nice hiking, and the house itself was cozy and comfortable. The house had everything we needed and more. The adults enjoyed relaxing in the mountains while the kids enjoyed freedom to expore and play.

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!!

We love this place. This is our fourth or fifth time staying here. It is completely furnished with everything you need for a great visit to Bailey. Right off of Highway 85. Mountain views are great. The small neighborhood has a pool. The children play ground is right outside the front door. Everyone is nice to you. Planning our next visit now.

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!
