The Indoor Hot Tub and Sauna offer a great way to relax tired muscles after a day of Skiing, Fishing, or Mountain Biking, or even Kayaking on the lake and nearby rivers.
Summit County is the heart of Colorado recreation and Dillon is the heart of Summit County. The Lodge at Lake Dillon sits on a bluff overlooking the lake with Spectacular Views of the Lake, Marina, and Keystone ski runs all four seasons! Imagine ending the day on the Private Balcony, cooking on the Gas BBQ Grill, eating and looking across the lake at the lights of the homes on the opposite mountain and during ski season, the lighted runs at Keystone.
Skiers will love the quick access to Keystone Ski Area, just 6 miles away, as well as the close proximity to Breckenridge Resort, Copper Mountain, Arapahoe Basin ski area (usually open until mid-June), and Vail/Beaver Creek.
Dillon is a quaint little town with a number of Shops and Restaurants. Everything in town is within easy walking distance, including the local Theater, Bowling Alley, and Post Office. Directly across the street from the Lodge guests can catch the FREE Shuttle Bus, the Summit Stage with routes to Keystone and Frisco and connections to Breckenridge and Copper Mountain.
Summer visitors will enjoy the Alpine Slide at Peak 8 in Breckenridge, water-sports (sailing, kayaking, fishing) on Lake Dillon, bicycling or hiking the many paved bike paths and old dirt mining roads that wind through the mountains. There is great fly fishing on the many rivers and creeks throughout the county. The Lake Dillon Amphitheater, two blocks away features Free Summer Concerts, Farmer's Markets, and other events. If you like shopping, the Silverthorne Factory Outlet Stores are 2 miles away. Frisco and Breckenridge have many fine Antique Shops and Art Galleries just minutes away.
Summit County has several challenging Golf Courses, including the Jack Nicholas-designed Breckenridge Golf Club, the Robert Trent Jones-designed Keystone Ranch Golf Course, and the Raven Golf Club at Three Peaks. There are few places more beautiful to golf in the world. The Vail/Beaver Creek golf courses are less than 45 minutes away as well.
This is my personal getaway and I hope you will love it as much as I do. I've been coming to Summit County since I was a child, before Lake Dillon existed. I never get tired of the diversity of activities the county offers visitors year-round. Several of the older buildings in town were moved uphill to their current locations when the lake was being created. They provide an interesting glimpse into Colorado History.
Please, NO PETS (Building Rules) and NO SMOKING allowed inside the condo OR on the balcony. I've worked hard to keep it Hypoallergenic to avoid health issues for guests. This 800 square foot (22.65 meters) condo can accommodate four guests but occasionally someone will inquire about allowing additional guests. One additional child can sleep on the sofa, but it's not a pull-out and there isn't room for an inflatable bed on the floor. There is a small fee for an additional person and we need to know in advance so we can set out towels for them.
No cancellations within 30 days; if more than 30 days in advance, refunded only if re-booked. We urge guests to purchase travel insurance in case your travel plans change. I personally use it and highly recommend it to others.
The VRBO Bear enjoying the fall colors at Dillon Lake.
VRBO Bear stayed here - 10/28/2008
I cleverly planned my getaway to Dillon, CO when the fall colors were at their peak because I couldn’t miss another autumn in the Rocky Mountains! The drive up from Denver took about an hour, but I was already feeling more relaxed by the time I arrived at the Lodge at Lake Dillon. It was easy to find and the location couldn’t be more perfect. Surrounded by majestic mountains, it was nestled on a bluff over beautiful Lake Dillon and within walking distance of coffee shops, locally-owned restaurants and the grocery store.
It instantly felt like a private mountain lodge the minute I walked in the condo. I could tell that a lot of effort went into making this unit special and welcoming. After I took in the stunning view of the lake and mountains from both the living area and the second bedroom, I appreciated the condo’s other thoughtful touches. I loved the wooden stools, doors, and cabinets which gave the condo a cozy, rustic mountain feel. The wood flooring, bedroom carpeting, and the kitchen granite countertops were in excellent condition. The spacious tiled shower, fluffy towels and pretty candle sconces on the walls added to the overall comfort of this home.
The kitchen was stocked with every utensil a cook could ever need. Even the pantry covered the basics I had forgotten like coffee and olive oil. After a quick trip to the market, I was ready to make several home-cooked meals in the well-equipped kitchen.
I thoroughly enjoyed the brisk and colorful bike ride around Lake Dillon. I really fell in love with Dillon and the friendly people who smiled and waved as we passed each other on the family-friendly bike path. Before long, I was ready to head back to the condo and relax with a book in the comfy leather chair in front of a roaring fire. And when it was time to call it a night; I could have easily hibernated all winter in the bed’s luxuriously soft sheets!
Who says you have to drive hours west for a true mountain experience? My trip to Dillon was everything I could have asked for and more. Plus, I didn’t even use a whole tank of gas! We will definitely be visiting again soon. The snow was falling as we checked out and this bear can’t wait to pack a snowboard for his next visit to Dillon, CO!

Map & Owner's Profile
Lake & Mountain Views from This Luxury 2BR Lake Dillon Condo!
Year Purchased: 2007
Why the Owner Chose Dillon
I've been visiting Summit County since I was a child, before Lake Dillon was created. My dad and I used to fish the Blue River, one of the three rivers that now flow into the lake.
I had looked for a condo for two years and instantly fell in love with this unit when I walked through the front door. I love being able to get away from the city and into the mountains quickly. The Lodge at Lake Dillon has a great location overlooking the lake and Keystone Resort. Dillon has a small town feel and is centrally located to the many nearby activities.
I spent quite a bit of time up there, making sure it's in top condition. I regularly change the quilts and other decorator items, as well as updating the video collection and books.
The Unique Benefits at this Condominium
There's nothing like an early morning cup of coffee on the patio overlooking the lake. Many times I am able to watch hawks or eagles soaring or sitting in the trees below. Sometimes I hear coyotes on the mountains across the lake.
I really enjoy walking two blocks down the street to the Arapahoe Cafe for breakfast - the best in the county. I ate there as a kid, before the building was moved to its present position, from what is now the bottom of the lake.
The Lodge is directly across the street from the Free Summit Stage stop which takes guests all over the county. It's also within a block of downtown where some of the many Summer Festivals are held.
The Dillon Marina and Tiki Bar are steps away, down the path from the Lodge.
City Market (largest grocery store in Summit County), Sports Authority (ski rentals, fishing licenses), Bed, Bath & Beyond, 8-screen Theater (Trans-Lux Skyline Cinema), Border's Books and Music Cafe.

Owner's Map of Dillon
I live in metro Denver, about 80 miles from Summit County. I've lived here off and on most of my live and can't really imagine living anywhere else full-time. The weather, activities, and sports combine to make it a wonderful place to live.
I've been in the travel industry for most of my career with travel agencies and airlines, managing reservation and frequent flier systems. I've traveled to around 50 countries and am a big fan of vacation rentals. In addition to owning mine, I've stayed in VRBO homes in Beijing, Nicaragua, London, Hawaii, St Thomas, Barbados, and others. I've really enjoyed meeting other owners that also have a passion for the industry.
