Why the Owner Chose Ten Mile Island
After years of camping in the mountains and renting places in Frisco from friends, we found our mountain escape in 2005. We love the mountain stream outside our bedroom and living room doors and the simple living that we enjoy while up there.
The Unique Benefits at this Condominium
We have furnished our place in a way that we would want it furnished for ourselves, from movies, to books to simple cookbooks and bikes for summer and fall rides. Frisco is the ultimate small town, walking or biking distance to everything yet not the typical busy tourist town. Part of our willingness to rent our place,when we are not there to others, is a sincere desire to share it and keep it alive rather than leave it empty. And our guests consistently reflect their welcome feelings in their comments back to us.
Owner's Map of Ten Mile Island
Peter and Maureen are former midwesterners (south side of Chicago) who have been in love with Colorado for many years. Our 4 children were all born in Colorado and love the outdoors. Although we enjoy living in central Denver, our escape is to the hideaway in Frisco. Our picture reflects a wonderful vacation in Frisco with our friends, Nivardo and Margrit from Bern, Switzerland. We have met visitors from all over the world through VRBO, both renting to others and from others for our own travels. We love VRBO people who honor our home and provide us welcome homes all over the world.
