A little bit of mountain heaven
I absolutely LOVED my stay in David’s cabin. It was all very much last minute as my motorhome’s engine blew up and had to be towed from NE to CO/Denver. But it turned out to be a blessing in disguise when we (dogs and me) came to the cabin and just so much enjoyed the peace and quiet up there.
The cabin is at the end of a dirt road on the side of Mt Ptarmigan which - if you take the hiking trail - gives you a 250 degree view of the valleys and the lake. Absolutely amazing.
Less than a mile into Silverthorne which is a super cute little town with a beautiful river walk, great coffee shop (besides the Starbucks) and everything else one might need. If it’s not in Silverthorne then it’s in Dillon or Frisco which is also only 15 min away.
The cabin itself is such a retreat, we immensely enjoyed recharging our batteries from traveling all the way from FL.
The sun rises on the bedroom side and then swings around the porch and sets on the living room side, so the cabin has sun all day. The porch is great to hang out on.
The cabin has pretty much everything from a Keurig (if that’s what you like) to a normal coffee machine, a blender, a nutro bullet, full size stove, microwave, a little countertop toaster oven (which I loved, works much better than a regular toaster), plus the normal toaster, BBQ on the porch; a really comfy couch which we extensively “tested”, it even has an e-piano/keyboard. The only thing really that is not there is a dishwasher.
The beds’ mattresses are rather on the firm side but since my motorhome was in Denver and I had to go back down anyway I brought up my mattress topper and then slept like a baby enjoying the night air sleeping with the windows open.
So long story short, if we ever come back to the area - which I certainly hope for - we will definitely stay here again.
