The Space:

Lakeside Loft is a newly remodeled, design-forward one-bedroom retreat on the second floor of a historic mixed-use building in the heart of Green Mountain Falls. At 770 square feet, the entire unit sits on a single level, where modern design meets the soul of a mountain town.



🛋️ LIVING ROOM

The living room is where the space really opens up. Rows of horizontal clerestory windows wrap the space in natural light, framing views of the pine canopy outside while a tufted charcoal sofa, leather butterfly chair, and Barcelona-style accent chair are arranged around a dark coffee table and blue area rug. The wall-mounted smart TV and mid-century media console anchor one wall, and the dedicated workspace sits nearby for when you need it, all flowing seamlessly into the kitchen beyond. Whether you're settling in after a morning on the trails or planning the next day over coffee, the space has a way of making you want to stay a little longer.



🍳 KITCHEN

Cooking here feels effortless, whether it's breakfast for two or a full evening meal. Two-tone cabinetry, white quartz countertops, and a subway tile backsplash give it a clean, modern feel, while stainless steel appliances including a gas range make it as functional as it looks. The freestanding island with bar stools is where mornings tend to happen naturally, whether that's a slow breakfast before hitting the trails or a quick coffee before heading downstairs to Cantina Verde. A complimentary coffee station with pods and spice rack are included for your convenience.



💻 DEDICATED WORKSPACE

A dedicated workspace with pendant lighting sits within the living area, offering a comfortable and functional setup for remote work or trip planning, ideal for staying productive while still being fully immersed in one of Colorado's most charming mountain towns.



🛏️ BEDROOM

Bedroom 1: King bed with floor-to-ceiling vintage photographic mural of the town of Green Mountain Falls, live-edge wood bench, closet, dedicated vanity area, and ensuite bathroom.



🚿 BATHROOM

The ensuite bathroom is a calm, well-appointed retreat after a day of exploring. A walk-in glass-enclosed shower with white tile surround and black fixtures, a round mirror vanity, and a bold waterfall mural give the space a clean, considered finish. Stocked with plush towels and essential toiletries for your arrival.



👶 KID-FRIENDLY

A pack-n-play and high chair are available for guests traveling with little ones, so you can pack light and arrive ready to enjoy everything Green Mountain Falls has to offer.



🚗 PARKING

Free public parking is available in the lot by Gazebo Lake and along both sides of Ute Pass Avenue. Please note that parking at the building frontage on Ute Pass Avenue must remain open for the restaurant.



❄️ COOLING AND HEATING

The unit is equipped with an evaporative cooler, which performs exceptionally well in the dry mountain air of Green Mountain Falls at 7,800 feet, along with heating for year-round comfort.
