Enjoy some R & R at this historic cottage in the best neighborhood in town!
Come fall in love with Silverton while staying at this lovingly cared for piece of history. Built in 1907 this home has a great story and is truly a home away from home. Silverton Hillside Cottage is the perfect place to get away and relax. From sitting on the deck in the large and lush yard to relaxing with a book by the pellet stove or escaping reality in the original claw foot tub you will be glad you chose to stay at our home. Please note we are not on OHV route, more info below.
With 3 bedrooms, a sun-room with futon and a pull out sofa in the living room this home can sleep up to 9 guests very comfortably.
Upstairs the private main bedroom is very roomy with a brand new king pillowtop mattress, down duvet and comfy 400 thread count sheets. Featuring a skylight and large windows with breathtaking views this room is spectacular. There is a pack in play for infants if needed.
The second private upstairs bedroom is a true mountain getaway with its floor to ceiling mountain mural. The room features a brand new queen pillow top mattress, down duvet and 400 thread count sheets. Views of the hillside to Anvil mountain are super relaxing.
You will find a bathroom with shower upstairs as well as a small work area with antique desk.
Downstairs you will find the third private bedroom with a twin bed featuring a brand new comfy mattress and down comforter with silky sateen sheets. Probably one of the most unique features of the home is found here. This room is wallpapered with historic newsprint from the Silverton Standard dating back to the 1980s.
The large downstairs bathroom features the original claw foot tub and shower.
You will find the kitchen to be fully equipped with everything you need to whip up a meal. Appliances include a gas range, full-size refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, toaster oven, crock pot and blender. The view from the kitchen window is enough to make you want to cook while on vacation, lol.
In the dining room the large farm house table and benches can seat up to 8 or 9. The bay window has outstanding mountain views to help you relax. There is also a pellet stove to keep things nice and toasty on those cold winter days or summer nights.
Is a house really complete without coffee?? We have a full coffee bar set up with a standard drip coffee pot as well as a Keurig. Kcups, coffee and hot chocolate are included with your stay.
In the living room you will find a 46” SMART TV as well as a DVD/blue ray player and Wi-Fi. You will find family games in the drawers under the TV and movies to enjoy under the coffee table. The views from this room just like everywhere else are remarkable. All of the furniture is brand new and comfortable to relax in after a long day of jeep trails, train rides or just discovering Silverton and the surrounding area. The couch features a pull out queen bed with upgraded mattress.
In the back of the home you will find a relaxing sun-room that accesses the back deck and has ample areas to hang your coats, take off your shoes, etc. As well, their is a twin size daybed.
There is also a new stackable full-size washer and two dryers available for use.
Although the house is awesome and very cozy, the home is known for its outdoor area with a lush lawn, beautiful flowers, 360 views and wonderful solar gain. Enjoy your coffee or dinner on the large deck and just breath in that fresh Colorado air. You will find yourself spending as much time in the yard as in the house. You can literally walk out the back gate from the house up to the Miners Shrine or it's only a 5-minute walk to historic downtown Silverton.
Come see for yourself. We would love to have you as a guest.

Great stay in this cute house. Great location in Silverton, hosts were very responsive, accommodating and responsive/helpful. Would definitely stay here again.
We loved this house! Lots of space for our family, and our dog loved the yard. The kitchen was fully stocked as were the bathrooms. The location was perfect to walk to town, and the views are amazing. Would definitely stay again, thank you!
We really enjoyed our time spent at this property. Excellent location, rooms and bathrooms were perfect, and we loved the big table (where we shared all our meals). I highly recommend this home! We will stay here again
We had a wonderful time in Silverton. The yard is perfect for your furry friend and the location is great. The home was clean, had everything you could ever want, and was a great base for our adventures.
The property was cleaned, well maintained (updated since my first stay), neighborhood was peaceful, and communication with the property manager(s) was smooth.
The property truly allows you to feel at home!
The house has a lot of character and we loved being able to spend time in the yard. There were thoughtful touches around the house that made our stay very enjoyable.

Thanks for choosing us. So glad you enjoyed the house. Come stay again!
We had a wonderful time in Silverton at the Silverton Hillside home. It had a well equipped kitchen, wonderful deck for evening visits and extremely comfortable beds. Thank you for the hospitality!
Our stay was great! The house was just as promised, and actually a bit bigger than expected. The house is in a great walkable downtown location, close to everything, but a couple blocks off the main drag, so nice and quiet. Thank Karen for a great stay, we will be back ( if you will have us :-)!
This home was a perfect compliment to our Silverton stay-the quaint accommodations were lovely, beds comfortable and the pellet stove was a great feature!
Spent only a short time here as we explored Silverton before heading into the Weminuche, but the property was excellent. Well appointed, comfortable, warm, & well layed out. Will definitely check for availability next time I come out to visit.
The house worked out perfectly for our needs. Plenty of street parking for two 20’ trailers. The house has several perks including Gas grill, outdoor games for the kids, stocked pantries with all the essentials, and multiple sleeping amenities. Best place to stay so far.

Nice, clean and cozy. Close enough and far away enough
This is a nice cozy cottage that's close enough to the Silverton business area that you can walk to it, or a very short drive, yet far enough away from the typical noise of the business area. We found the owners very personable and easy to communicate with.
We would definitely book this rental again for a future stay.

So glad you enjoyed the house. Hope to have you again in the future.
This property is everything and more! Our group was pleasantly surprised by the amenities and extras that are located on the property. The host was great to work with (though we didn’t meet). Highly recommend!!
We stay here every year when we go to Silverton. We really appreciate the new king sized bed in the master bedroom. It’s very close to the main part of town but is quiet. There’s a nice yard to relax in. The house is always clean and well supplied.

About the host
Hosted by Karen Sites: property manager
Jeff and I have been married for 20 years and have been visiting Silverton for 17 years. We have a 15 year old daughter who visited Silverton for her first time at 5 months and loves it more on every visit. We currently live in Texas and hope to be year round residents of Silverton within the next 10 years.
Why they chose this property
We are so happy to have been able to purchase a home in our favorite vacation town and the place we hope to move to as permanent residents as soon as we can. It is our hope that the renters of this home will fall in love with the town of Silverton like we did on our first visit here in 1999. We were lucky enough to rent this home on many occasions from Janet O’Leary and are glad to now rent it to you.
