ROCKY TOP VACATION RENTALS

A Colorado Mountain Hospitality Investment

Three Rental Units. Two Cabin Structures. One Exceptional Mountain Opportunity.

Lake City, Colorado | 1.214 Acres | 5,141 Square Feet


1425 & 1415 N. Hwy 149 | Lake City

Welcome to Rocky Top Vacation Rentals - a rare, income-producing mountain retreat offering 7 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms, and 5,141 sq ft across three immaculate log cabin units on 1.214 beautifully maintained acres. Generating $78,000 annually with room for significant upside, this is the turnkey investment opportunity buyers wait for in Lake City.

Perfectly positioned just outside of town along Hwy 149, the property offers excellent visibility and signage, no short-term rental permit required, no HOA, and minimal covenants. Guests enjoy convenient highway access while still being able to reach town and the legendary Alpine Loop via backroads for ATVs and UTVs - a major draw for adventure travelers.


The Setting & Opportunity

Lake City is a magnet for outdoor enthusiasts, surrounded by fourteeners, vast public lands, and home to Lake San Cristobal - the largest natural lake in Colorado. Hikers, off-roaders, anglers, hunters, ice climbers, and families return year after year - and so do Rocky Top's loyal guests.

The possibilities here are expansive:

  • Continue operating as a residence + thriving rental business
  • Convert the main home into an additional high-capacity rental
  • Create a multi-generational family vacation compound
  • Explore event or wedding venue potential

1425 N. Hwy 149 - Main Residence (2,782 Sq Ft | 3+ Bedrooms | 3 Baths)

Currently owner-occupied, this spacious log home could easily become an additional premium rental for larger groups.

The main level features:

  • Open-concept kitchen, dining, and living areas with new LPV flooring
  • Covered deck access for grilling and soaking in mountain views
  • Primary suite + additional bedroom and full bath

Upstairs:

  • Third bedroom and full bath
  • Flex space currently used as a craft area
  • Additional room used as a bedroom
  • Man cave/storage/office space
  • Abundant eave storage throughout

The basement was thoughtfully designed for rental operations, offering:

  • Linen cabinetry
  • Double washer/dryer setup
  • Generous storage and workspace

Heating options include an efficient wood stove, propane gas stove, propane Rinnai heater, and supplemental electric heaters - ensuring comfort year-round.

The grounds feature lush lawns with automatic sprinklers, a greenhouse, animal house/pen, shed, and equipment storage barn - adding both charm and utility.


1415 N. Hwy 149 - Duplex (2,359 Sq Ft Total | Two 2BR/2BA Units)

South of the main residence sits a beautifully designed duplex with two matching 2-bedroom, 2-bath units.

Each unit offers:

  • Open kitchen, dining, and living area
  • LPV flooring on the main level
  • Gas wood-burning stove
  • Vaulted ceilings
  • Main-level bedroom and full bath
  • Upper-level bedroom and full bath

Covered decks are staggered for privacy and step down to grassy lawns with picnic tables and charcoal grills for each unit - perfect for relaxing after a day on the trails.

The duplex comes fully furnished with updated decor, making this a seamless, ready-to-operate investment.


The Bottom Line

With consistent year-round rental history, repeat clientele, expansion potential, and an unbeatable location in one of Colorado's most recreation-rich regions, Rocky Top Vacation Rentals is more than a property - it's a lifestyle business with room to grow.

Opportunities like this in Lake City are exceptionally rare.

Invest. Expand. Escape.
