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.

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.

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!

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

About the host

Hosted by Donna Jewett

Host profile image

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.
