About this cottage rental
Welcome to the Lake City Guest Cottage | Gateway to the Alpine Loop- a cozy, converted garage studio that’s small in footprint but big on function, comfort, and access to adventure.
This space is a converted garage studio, thoughtfully designed to be practical, efficient, and comfortable for travelers who spend more time exploring than staying inside. It includes a queen bed, a sofa bed, a full private bathroom, and a compact kitchenette equipped for simple meals and essentials.
One of the standout features is the large, spa-like shower, which guests consistently love after long days on the trails.
What really sets this property apart is the location and access. You have direct drive-in / drive-out access to the Alpine Loop, including seasonal OHV access- making it incredibly easy to head straight into some of Colorado’s most iconic high-country terrain. *Be sure to check local laws!* From here, you’re also just minutes from downtown Lake City (about 1/2 mile away), with the ability to walk to shops, restaurants, and local attractions.
Whether you’re here to ride, explore, fish, or simply unwind, the Cottage puts you right in the middle of it all while still offering a quiet place to return to.
Outside, you’ll find a large, spacious driveway with ample room for trucks, trailers, and all your gear or toys; no tight parking or maneuvering required.
Simple, functional, and adventure-ready, this is the perfect basecamp for experiencing Lake City and the Alpine Loop.
The Cottage Is Best For:
Singles or couples looking for a simple, affordable getaway for 1–3 nights. Longer stays can work well if you plan to eat most meals out. For extended stays, we recommend a mid-stay cleaning and linen refresh.
The Cottage Is Not Ideal For:
Weeklong family vacations where the sofa bed needs to be folded up and put away daily, or groups planning to cook most of their meals. The kitchenette is functional for basic meal prep, but it isn’t designed for frequent or extensive cooking. The cottage is a converted garage studio, so think cozy and efficient rather than spacious or fully equipped.

This was a great stay! I would note that I wouldn't necessarily want to stay here with anyone I wasn’t completely comfortable with -as there is little to no privacy, like for bathroom use and such. Not necessarily a problem, it’s just the way it is-due to the layout and size. I loved the stay and the place and it was perfect for what I hoped for, but I was just thinking it might be awkward with anyone who isn’t comfortable sharing all aspects of life with their chosen roommate It was adorable and had everything one might need for a little stay in a great location! The host communicated well & helped with certain concessions that weren’t mandatory and I appreciated him very much. I’d stay again!

Perfect for our needs. Not a place to cook, but we didn’t plan on cooking.

Host did not respond or was not available on day of check in. Cabin had no heat (fireplace was not working and did not work over the two days we were there. The host did bring two space heaters the following morning, one of them never worked. Location was poor as it was right on Main Street and across from ATV rental/repair business. Overall we tried to make the best of it but it was a disappointing experience.
