The Friendship Ranch | Mid-Century MTN A-Frame

The Friendship Ranch | Mid-Century MTN A-Frame

A soulful MTN escape where stories unfold, music lingers, and stars punch holes in the night sky. Just 45 minutes from Denver but a world away in spirit this 3,700 sqft Aframe sits on 2.2 acres of quiet forest. Once an old MTN ranch, It’s been lovingly transformed into a MCM lodge built for togetherness, inspiration, and the kind of calm you don’t find in city limits. Vaulted ceilings frame the space, the fire hums, and every light, nook, and book is curated for slow living and deep connection.

Guest Access

This space is entirely yours to enjoy. The only exceptions are the back garage and crawlspace, which are reserved for storage and remain locked during your stay. Everything else—inside and out—is yours to explore and make your own.

Good to know

Walk through the front door, and you’ve stepped into the heart of the home. The space opens wide into the kitchen and living room, framed by 18-foot vaulted ceilings that stretch high. There’s no TV to pull you away–just a wood-burning Osburn fireplace, wrapped in a semicircle of inviting sectionals, swivel chairs, and soft poufs–designed to draw people close. The 49 sqft custom kitchen island was built for gathering–for leaning in with a glass of wine, for helping hands, for stories that unfold between chopping and stirring. Modern appliances meet vintage charm, and everything you need to feed a crowd is here, plus a few surprises tucked in drawers for the cooks and the curious. The chef’s kitchen is fully stocked. Throughout the home, the art, the furniture, the palette–they soften the sharp geometry of the A-frame construction. Everything–from the hue and the brightness of the lighting and the acoustics of the Bluetooth sound system–to the design blending the old & new–is in balance. Upstairs in the loft, it’s all about play and pause. Curl up in the reading nook, cue up an old vinyl, or fire up the 8-foot projector for movie night with a mountain backdrop. Shuffleboard and Sonos sound set the tone–whether it’s a dance party, game night or downtime. Outside, you’ll find quiet comfort. A 7-person hot tub warms beneath the pines, string lights float overhead, and a cedar barrel sauna waits to melt away whatever weight you carried in. The mountain air is fresh. 🛏 Sleeping Arrangements 🛏 Five bedrooms sleep up to 14 guests, and each space brings it's own distinct character: ⭐ Upstairs Primary: A king bed, en suite bath, and balcony with swivel seating offers views over the western skies. Timeless floral wallpaper, natural tones, and plush textures turn it into a private mountain suite. ⭐ Main-Floor Accessible Suite: Designed with care for all bodies and ages. King bed, ADA-accessible bath with roll-in shower, elegant dark green lime-washed walls, and views into the pines out back. Comfort meets dignity here. A large desk and television add utility. ⭐ East Wing King Suite: Perfect for parents or early risers. Natural southern facing light, a wooden desk, crib, and a Jack & Jill bath shared with the adjacent queen room. Walkout patio with seating. ⭐ Dual Queen Room: Organic tones, pine accents, soft sunlight, and space to stretch. Ideal for siblings & friends. ⭐ Bunk + Playroom: A cozy den with queen-over-queen bunks, bean bags, books, a 65” Smart TV, and a spirit of joyful mischief. Walkout patio with seating. All rooms include full-length mirrors, blackout curtain options, portable fans, luggage racks, and high-quality linens & pillows to help guests settle into deep, easy rest. 🍳 Amenities & Features 🍳 Here's what makes this home unforgettable: • Chef’s kitchen w/ premium appliances and stocked essentials. Outdoor gill included. • 20+ Spices, ground coffee, assortment of loose leaf tea & Nespresso pods • High-end Osburn wood-burning fireplace for radiant heat and ambiance. Wood provided. • Loft lounge with Sonos, shuffleboard, projector, records, & Guitars (electrical/Acoustic) • Cedar sauna, 7-person hot tub, and Adirondack-accented fire pit under string lights • Indoor lounge net, guitars, board games, reading nooks & books for all ages • Smart-enabled entry, ultra high-speed WiFi, and tasteful laundry room • ADA-accessible entryway, bedroom, bathroom & entire first floor (2,800 sqft) • Dog-friendly, kid-welcoming, elder-considered Every corner of this home was built not just to impress, but to care for people and pets–whatever age, ability, or purpose brought them here. 🌄 What Guests Love 🌄 This isn’t just a stay–it’s a retreat. Guests talk about the design, the light, the quiet. But what they love most? • That they finally put their phones down • That every generation–from toddlers to grandparents–feels included. Perfect for family gatherings • That they laughed more than they expected, rested deeper than they planned • That it feels like coming home to a place they didn’t know they missed This home holds space for more than sleep–it holds space for ceremony, creativity, celebration, and reconnection. 📍 In the Area 📍 Bailey is a slow town in the best way. Wake to birdsong, drive to trailheads in minutes, and return with muddy boots, stories to tell, & feasts to fire up. Nearby you’ll find: • Staunton State Park and Kenosha Pass for breathtaking hikes (15 Mins) • Wellington Lake for fishing and reflection (30 Mins) • Red Rocks Amphitheater for world-class sound and starlight (30 Mins) • Buffalo Creek Trails for flowy mountain biking adventures (20 Mins) You’re close enough to the city for comfort, far enough to let it all go. The main portion of the home is step free–including bedrooms & bathrooms. We do not have central air conditioning. For a cool nights rest, we encourage guests to open the windows and enjoy the mountain breeze–it is lovely. At The Friendship Ranch & Lodge, you’re not just booking a house–you’re borrowing a little peace, a little magic, and maybe the best sleep of your life. We’d love to share it with you.

Other Details to Note

This home is in a mountain residential area and being respectful to the nearby neighbors is of utmost importance. This place is part of a slower world—where the stars show up on time, the wind keeps secrets, and neighbors still wave from the wheel. Out here, silence travels far. After 9 PM, we ask you to keep things low and kind. Absolutely no outdoor campfires—these woods remember flame too well & the county will fine you heavily. Don’t feed the wildlife, no matter how close they wander. And please, don’t cross onto the neighbors’ land. There’s no need. You’ve got 2.2 acres of your own. This home runs on respect. Respect the home and neighbors, and Bailey will love you right back. If you are unsure if your group fits this description, please reach out to ask and we will be happy to help.

Michael is an exceptional host, and his home is truly outstanding, everything I hoped for and more! The decor was beautiful—open, inviting, and full of thoughtful touches. I didn’t want for a single thing during my stay; everything was perfectly set up for comfort and ease. The space was immaculately clean. It provided the ideal setting for a peaceful getaway and a much-needed reset. Highly recommended and absolutely worthy of all the praise it receives!!

Our stay at the Friendship Ranch was everything we had hoped for and then some! The atmosphere was so quiet and peaceful, the perfect getaway from reality. As far as the home itself, the thought put into every detail was quite impressive. You can tell Michael takes pride in what he does, as this is not just an ordinary stay but an extraordinary experience! One night in the hot tub under the stars will prove my point! The wildlife roam free around here, so don’t be surprised to find deer on your porch when you come out for your morning coffee!

Our stay at this A-frame cabin in Bailey was absolutely perfect! We came with four adults and our kids, and it was the ideal mix of cozy comfort and thoughtful luxury. The décor is stunning — every corner looks like it came straight out of a design magazine — yet it still feels warm and welcoming. Every detail has been considered, from the soft blankets to the perfectly stocked kitchen. The hot tub and sauna were a dream after a day of exploring, and the hosts truly went above and beyond. They even ordered in marshmallow skewers and a pizza stone just for us — such an unexpected and thoughtful touch that made our stay feel extra special. You can really tell how much love and care they put into this place. We’ve stayed in a lot of rentals, and this one stands out as one of the very best. It’s the kind of cabin that makes you wish you’d booked a few extra days. We can’t wait to come back!

Our family absolutely loved our stay here! The kids had the best time, between the game room, hot tub, and endless exploring among the beautiful aspens, they were in heaven. The parents didn’t do too bad either, we enjoyed relaxing in the sauna, soaking in hot tub, and sipping coffee in the perfectly curated and gorgeously decorated home. Every detail was thought through and it felt both luxurious and cozy at the same time. We made such wonderful family memories here and can’t wait to come back!

This has house is stunning, well appointed, every detail attended too. We felt at home. Wonderful for families, to gather and spill into private spaces. The kitchen and fireplace gathered us to create and connect. The home is nestled within pine trees and aspens, making daily walks inspiring and healing. We loved this place and did not want to leave!! One of the most beautiful stays I’ve have had on Airbnb worldwide and in Colorado!

Not enough kind things to say about this place. Michael and his team have everything you can think of in this house and my family was blown away by how it had so much stuff stocked. Michael was on top of communicating to hit up the grocery store on the way up because they are about 20 minutes out. Highly recommend this beautiful home.

This stay should be the standard for a 5-star review. The house is absolutely stunning. All of us were continually stating how Michael & Sophia had thought of everything! Highly recommend!

A perfect peaceful place to stay. My family and I would happily move in and change nothing about it! It’s so beautifully decorated. They thought of everything and the little touches really helped us settle in immediately! I’ve had severe travel anxiety the last few years, but it disappeared here. I can’t recommend this place highly enough! If you’re considering a trip just do yourself a favor and book this home away from home!

I’ve stayed in over 100 airbnbs. This place was 100/10. You can tell the hosts pay attention to detail. Fully stocked kitchen, amazing decor, wildlife everywhere, great views, lots to do. Hosted a retreat with 12 of us ladies. Enough beds for everyone to share, enough room in all areas of house, plethora of blankets and pillows. I will be booking this place again.
