A rare opportunity to acquire an established, income-producing 14-key mountain hospitality asset in one of Colorado's most active year-round tourism corridors — just 30 minutes from Denver.Situated on ±5.16 acres along Chicago Creek with direct National Forest adjacency on multiple borders, Water & Stone Cabins combines proven operational performance with an infrastructure foundation that is genuinely uncommon in the mountain market. The property carries C-3 commercial zoning — no STR restrictions, no annual licensing, no regulatory exposure — along with city water service and a recently installed 8" commercial municipal sewer line connecting the majority of units to city sewer. These are not features you can replicate on another parcel in Idaho Springs.The property generates $435,860 in trailing EBITDA across 14 units — 9 cabins and 5 condo-style units — and carries a 4.91-star Airbnb rating built over hundreds of verified stays. Peak season occupancy runs 90-95%. Units are currently listed exclusively on Airbnb, leaving meaningful upside through additional booking channels, direct reservations, and amenity enhancements.The location sits at the eastern gateway to Colorado's I-70 ski corridor, with Arapahoe Basin and Loveland minutes up the road and Copper Mountain, Keystone, and Breckenridge all within an hour. In summer, Chicago Creek — which runs through the property — feeds directly into Clear Creek, one of Colorado's premier whitewater corridors. The corridor also benefits from established wedding and event demand with limited quality lodging inventory to absorb group stays — a structural gap that represents immediate, actionable revenue opportunity for a new operator.The Argo Gondola opens in May 2026 — and it changes the calculus entirely. Projected to draw 500,000-700,000 visitors annually, it converts Idaho Springs from a highway exit into a genuine year-round destination. The property is four minutes from the gondola base. This is the most significant demand catalyst in the history of Idaho Springs tourism. A buyer who moves quickly acquires at today's pricing — before 500,000 additional annual visitors are reflected in the market. Turnkey operation with trained staff in place.
