Location: Ten Mile Island, Frisco, Northwest, Colorado, USA (Frisco is 70 miles west of Denver & 30 miles East of Vail)
Accommodations: Condominium, 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths (Sleeps 6)
Quiet three bedroom, two bath non-smoking/non-pet condo with balcony overlooking Ten Mile Creek and Mount Royal. Our second floor end unit was fully remodeled and updated in November 2007, and it is tastefully appointed with pine furnishings, hand made quilts, and cozy mountain decor.
The master bedroom has a queen sized bed with a pillow-top mattress, and a private bath with a shower. The second bedroom also has a queen sized bed, with access to the main bath, which has a tub and shower. The third bedroom has a double/full sized bed, with a vanity and mirror tucked into an alcove. The kitchen is very well equipped, including beautiful dinnerware and table linens, most common small appliances, assortment of cookware, baking, and serving dishes, basic pantry items, and paper goods.
A pine wall in the entrance adjoins a beautiful Virginia Ledgestone wall surrounding the wood-burning fireplace. New pine cabinet houses a 32" Television and Stereo/DVD/CD Surround System. A large picture window overlooking Ten Mile Creek was added to the master bedroom. The master bath has a new terra cotta slate tile shower, with a river rock floor and border added as accents. The same floor tile was added in the hallway bath, kitchen, entry and in front of the fireplace. The kitchen and bathroom vanity cabinets were replaced with rich rustic alder cabinets and granite tops; low-voltage lighting was added under and over the kitchen cabinets for ambiance and efficient task lighting. State-of-the-art clean-steel appliances were added in the kitchen. New light fixtures and lamps throughout. An antique brown leather couch and chair blend beautifully with the warm beige walls and carpeting. New double/full sized pine headboard, and additional pine woodwork throughout to blend with the other natural woods. Several new quilts; a Minnesota Sampler hangs on the wall in the dining area, a Double X is on one of the beds, and a Rail Fence, a Modified Double Nine Patch, and a Strip Bow are on the quilt rack for snuggling up to read or watch TV!
Our condo has wireless high speed internet. We have some board games, and often times shared books and magazines for your reading pleasure. There are quilts everywhere - on the beds, a quilt rack, and wall hangings throughout the condo! We furnished and decorated our condo to reflect our casual lifestyle, and to offer warmth and coziness on a cold winter day or a cool summer evening. You will find the sound of water rushing down Ten Mile Creek to be very soothing and relaxing.
We have a fantastic Clubhouse, which includes a laundry room, a heated indoor pool, sauna, hot tub, and changing rooms with showers, all adjacent to a large meeting/gathering room which includes a kitchen, wood-burning fireplace, TV, stereo, wireless internet connection, desktop computer, comfortable furnishings, and an outdoor gas grill. Beverages and food are not allowed in the pool area. The entire Clubhouse was also updated in the Fall of 2007, and the warm blend of beiges and brown tones in the carpeting, slate tile, window coverings and wall colors complement the new cultured stone around the fireplace, leather, tapestry and wood furnishings, new cabinets, and ambient lighting. The meeting/gathering room can be reserved through our Ten Mile Island Manager. There is also a basketball hoop, tether-ball, and horseshoe pit outside the Clubhouse for parking lot entertainment.
There are two coin-operated laundry areas in the complex, and if you are visiting over the holiday season, you will be treated to our Association's holiday light display!
There are additional condos at Ten Mile Island that are listed with VRBO if you are interested in renting multiple units for groups, families, and reunions.
We are a block off Main Street, and only a few blocks and a short walk to downtown Frisco, where you can enjoy the small town ambiance of shops, coffee bars, restaurants, and dining and drinks on the decks. The Frisco Marina on Lake Dillon is within walking distance. We are centrally located to all ski resorts in Summit County; Keystone, Breckenridge, Copper Mountain, Loveland, and Arapahoe Basin are all within 10-20 minutes of our condo. The free Summit Stage provides transportation to all of the Summit County ski areas and towns, as well as the Silverthorne Factory Outlet stores, and it stops 2 blocks from our condo. Vail and Beaver Creek are about 30 minutes West of us.
There are recreational activities for all seasons and for all interests. The scenery is incredible for jogging and walking! We are on the bike path, and it is an easy ride to Dillon or Breckenridge for lunch or the Farmers Market in the Summer. Frisco is a fun place to walk anywhere - to the Log Cabin, Pik-A-Bagel or Butterhorn bakery for breakfast, to shop, to the Back Country Brewery for microbrews, to the Post Office or Internet Cafe, to the Blue Spruce for fine dining or a great burger, or even just a scenic walk around the town to revel in the beauty of the majestic Rocky Mountains!

I liked the condo! (From Eleanor) This was a particularly special trip for me as I was able to meet up with two friends from HS that i haven't seen in 22 years. Connor took a snow board lesson at A-Basin, and made some great turns. Eleanor stayed here and took care of Grandma. We had a great vacation, and we can't wait to come back! Thanks Mom and Dad!

Enjoyed our stay at your condo. Very cute and well equipped. Frisco is a nice town and not as busy as Breckenridge, which we liked. Skied 1 day at Breckenridge (snowing and blowing), but then had 2 great days at Keystone. We happened to find a deal online - 3 days for $99 and although we only skied 2, a much better bargain than Breckenridge. Glad your condo was open for the dates we needed!

Great place - you'd never guess from the outside that you'd get such a 'cabin feel' once you get in! Love the coziness, the fire and the location! Thanks for sharing!

Jennie and Dan - We had another wonderful stay. So comfortable, it's like home. Your improvements continue to amaze. Despite lack of snow, the skiing was fun, exciting, and at times of high winds at A-Basin (60 mph gusts) adventerous. Thanks for being great hosts as usual.

We really had a great time. Your condo was womderful, and we appreciate your sharing it with us. The snow was awesome and Breckenridge was in good shape. The view from the master bedroom was amazing. We made chili and homemade spaghetti sauce. We didn't even eat out, except for lunch. We skied Sunday and Monday, then Asher and Brian took snowboard lessons on Tuesday. On Wednesday we planned to ski, but instead we shopped in the snow. For our last night we listened to the wind and played Cranium. Thanks so much.

Your condo is like a little piece of heaven! We opened the door and immediately felt at home. Coming from Minnesota, we identified with all of the scenes on your Minnesota quilted wall hanging. Your special touches add to the coziness of your condo. We apprecate all you provided for our stay - it was much more than we experienced in other condos we've stayed in. Happy New Year!

We had a perfect Christmas here. Your place is cozy and we all liked the quilts and decor. The crackling fire was the best. We love it here and hope to return soon. Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah! Thank you for letting us stay in your cozy condo. It is very comfortable and warm. Thanks for supplying the firewood; we had a roaring fire each night. Showers were awesome afer a day of skiing - particularly liked the shower with the stone floor - a bonus foot massage. The pine furniture is beautiful. The skiing was fantastic - we had tons of powder. What a beautiful area! Thanks again! P.S. We used the grill (same one we have!) and couldn't find grill utensils - only thing we couldn't find. We made do though!

Dan and Jennie, Thank you for your hospitality here in Frisco. We enjoyed your beautiful Mountain Retreat. It was fun to see it after hearing about your refurbishing!

This is the most beautifully appointed and well equipped condo we have ever been blessed to stay in. It is so lovely with all the quilts and handmade furniture. You are both very talented. Some of our family stayed here a year ago, but must not have seen this book, as they surely would have written in it. All of us are related to George Babcock. He is mybrother! Thank you for sharing your story.
