A true Winter Log Cabin Vacation

What an amazing stay! The house is incredibly spacious and beautifully tucked away among stunning snow-capped peaks—it felt like our own private retreat, yet still just a short drive to everything we needed. Everyone in our group had more than enough space to relax, whether it was hanging out together in the common areas or retreating to their own private corners to unwind.The host was absolutely fantastic—friendly, super communicative, and quick to respond to anything we needed. You can really tell they care about making the stay enjoyable.Not to forget the fireplace!!! And yes, there was plenty of firewood for cozy evenings by the fire—such a great touch! We thoroughly enjoyed every moment and would 100% book again.

Terrific Host & Place to Stay

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!

Absolutely Amazing place!

Our stay at the log house was just perfect for us two families. The location in Silverthorne in the middle of major skiing areas in Colorado was perfect as well. The house itself has all you need from kitchen, enough space, fireplace, terrasse, enough parking spots, nice and cozy bedrooms, bathrooms, just everything! We can strongly recommend this house. The communication with the host was easy and Donna was very supportive on any questions. Loved it!

Awesome Week of Skiing & Family Time

Our family of 5 (plus our son’s friend) thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is very spacious and provided enough entertainment for all of us in the evenings after a day on the slopes. Convenient location with 15 mins to Keystone and ~30 to Breck and Vail! Watch out for those sledding hills nearby as we had an unexpected visit to the Emergency Room for our son’s friend. Everything at the house was very thoughtful with great instructions and cable in most rooms. We completed 2 difficult puzzles and enjoyed some good ole fashion family time in front of the fire. Our favorite spot was the great room and our son’s was the other living room where they caught up on their Netflix movies. Appreciate Donna allowing us to rent her place. Incredible views too!

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.
