COLORADO LAKE HOUSE Away from it all: Boat, Hike, Fish, ATV, Hunt

Your Rocky Mountain Basecamp Awaits!

Imagine waking up to sweeping views of Green Mountain Reservoir, coffee in hand, deer wandering through the yard, and absolutely nothing on the agenda but whatever you want. Welcome to your new favorite family escape.

Tucked away in quiet Heeney, above the Heeney Marina, not directly on the water, less than 2 hours from Denver, this three-bedroom mountain retreat is equal parts adventure headquarters and cozy hangout. Inside, the open floor plan is built for togetherness — full-size shuffleboard, foosball, ping pong, and darts mean the fun doesn't stop when the sun goes down. And when it does go down? Step outside to the firepit under a sky absolutely packed with stars. No, seriously — the Milky Way hits different at 8,000 feet with no light pollution.

Days here look like this:
- Morning fly fishing on world-class trout water
- Afternoon on the lake with a rented boat from the marina right -below the house
- Walk your dogs to swim in the lake and watch the humming birds and bald eagles
- Sunset hike with mountain views in every direction
- Campfire, marshmallows, and a fox sighting if you're lucky
or just stay home and read, work on the puzzle and relax in the hammock - your choice!

When you're ready to venture out, Silverthorne's restaurants and outlet shopping are 30 minutes away. Copper Mountain and Keystone are 40 minutes out. Steamboat Springs and Breckenridge are within an hour. The mountains are your playground — this is just home base.
- Pets welcome and encouraged! ($75 cleaning fee per stay- you must pick up poo)
- Sleeps up to 6 by county regulations - strictly enforced
- NO DISHWASHER - you will have to hand wash
- The bathroom is very "cozy" - old house didn't originally have plumbing but nicely upgraded over time
- Booking requires separate rental agreement per house rules

Book early — boat rentals at the marina go fast and hunting seasons fill up.
