This cabin is very close to both Breckenridge and Keystone. It also provides excellent access to restaurants and shopping. It is a well laid out cabin and we always enjoy staying there.

Thank you so much for renting our cabin once again. I am so glad you like the location and layout of the cabin and its amenities.
The house was very clean and included a well stocked kitchen, bathroom necessities and firewood for the fireplace. The location is convenient to ski resorts and many eating establishments. The main level layout offers more than enough space for a group of 15 to gather let alone six. I can’t say enough positive things about this place.

Thank you so much for you kind and thoughtful review of your stay at my mountain house. Thank you for renting my house once again. I'm so glad you liked the well-stocked kitchen, bathroom necessities, and firewood for your fires. It's fun and cozy to sit around the fireplace after a day of skiing while talking of the day's adventure.

The house is very roomy with plenty of space to spread out. The location is terrific. Off the beaten path but close to all the action.

It was a pleasure talking with you last week. Thank you for your suggestions on how to improve the furnishings in my mountain house. I made your suggested improvements. 😊
We didn’t all make it due to several cancelled flights, but the few that made it said it was lovely and nice. They had a great stay. Property manager was very communicative and kind! We will definitely try to make the stay again.

I am so sorry your entire group didn’t make it out to Colorado. I’m so glad the group that stayed at my house enjoyed their stay and liked the house.
Thank you!
We were there for the week to ski. Host Donna is a terrific communicator! We stay in VRBOs many times a year and this one is certainly special! It is very spacious and yet feels cozy! Very well equiped. 2 beds/bedrooms are well suited for adults. The additional bedrooms would be better suited for children. Enjoy!

Hi Kevin,
Thanks so much for your review. The bedroom downstairs is suited for adults as most of my elderly guests like the bedroom on the first floor. The third bedroom up upstairs has bunkbeds and is suited for kids.
Thanks so much for communicating with me as well. I also appreciate people who can communicate well. :-)
Take care,
Donna
overall it was cozy and comfortable. kitchen is a bit small for a big group but it does the job

I am so glad you liked our house and were able to spread out in the four bedroom and three bathroom house. The kitchen is a bit small for a large group but people love the eating area in the kitchen and large dining room.
Thanks for choosing our mountain house for your winter vacation.
A very nice place as well as a great location. Short trip to many ski resorts. The property was as listed and the owners were great to deal with. I would definitely recommend this to others. Wonderful trip and a great place to stay. Hope to book again.

Thank you so much for your great review. I'm so glad you liked the house and had a great trip.
The house was extremely well equipped. Had everything a larger group would need. Comfortable furniture and the views off the second floor balcony are unbeatable. Close to town and services too.

Thank you so much for your review. I try to help renters with a well stocked kitchen and all the cooking pots/pans, crockpot, blender, etc. I too love the views from the second floor deck.
Thank you so much for choosing our mountain house for your winter vacation. I'm so glad you liked the house and were able to spread out. Hopefully I can meet you next year.
This is a perfect location for skiing multiple ski areas and has a large area for group discussions.

I'm glad our living room was large enough for your group discussions. I'm going to assume the second family room was for foosball and for watching television. Nice that you skied in the five close ski resorts. Thank you for your lovely comments.
Clean, comfortable home. Located within 30 minutes of several ski resorts.
The owner, Donna was friendly and always answered questions right away.

About the host
Hosted by Donna Jewett
I grew up in New York City and always wanted to move out west. I went to the University of Colorado, in Boulder, and never left Colorado. It was the best decision of my life. John Denver wrote a song that I relate to called, "Rocky Mountain High".
Why they chose this property
My husband and I purchased this small log cabin because of its rustic feel, large lot size, and distance from the larger mountain towns. We put in an addition in 2005 and renovated the cabin. We continue to love this cabin/house and the Silverthorne area. We are still close to and enjoy Dillon, Keystone, Frisco, and Breckenridge.
What makes this property unique
Secluded mountain retreat with fantastic views, yet close to several mountain towns with countless outdoor adventures.
