The house is a great value for a large group. The refrigerator / freezer was full and very little room for our food. The freezer did not make enough ice to keep up with a large group and had no room in the freezer for ice bags. If this house had a new refrigerator it would be 5 stars . Owners were great communicators. If others would clean out their food it would help.

About the host

Hosted by Sheila and Greg Fossen

Host profile image
We live in the North Metro Denver area, (Thornton.) I am a retired teacher and watercolor artist. Many of my paintings, mostly nature, are on display in the cabin. Greg was an electronics engineer and now an energy auditor. We love our mountain home but also like to travel. We enjoy sharing the beauty and peace we find at the cabin by making it available to others when we can't be up there. (Of course we like the extra income, too.) We ski and hike and love to play tennis

Why they chose this property

Our cabin is located near Silverthorne, at the top of Mesa Cortina, foot of Buffalo Mountain and backs to the national forest. You can walk right out into the forest from out backyard. We are at the end of the trail so there is no traffic to disturb the peace. There are mountains views from every window and the windows are tall. We are only an hour and 20 minutes from Denver and the epi center of 5 ski areas, Keystone, A-Basin, Breckenridge, Copper, and Vail. We are 15 minutes from the beautiful Lake Dillon Reservoir where you can walk, bike, boat, kayak, canoe, and watch free and paid concerts at the ampitheater overlooking the lake and dine at great restaurants nearby. We have an open family living space with fireplace, couches, granite island, 2 dining areas inside, and, large front deck and smaller back deck with grill to dine or relax outside. In other words a little mountain paradise. Rec room with Large screen TV/Comcast and guest streaming. Easy access, roads and drive-way are plowed as needed by county and plow service.

What makes this property unique

Beautiful views, quiet , backs to forest, walk out to hike, sled, x-country ski, snowshoes (included), close to ski areas, dining and shopping, but still remote. Gas fireplace, high speed internet. Board games and puzzle, large screen smart TV. Kitchen fully stocked with plates, silverware, cooking utensils, including insta-pot, pots and pans. Amenities are available in all bathrooms. 2 decks for relaxing, eating and star gazing. Outdoor grill and 2 decks.
