The unit includes a full kitchen with oven/stove and microwave, Wi-Fi, cable TV, Sonos sound, Apple TV, a fireplace, washer, and heating for year-round comfort. Outside there are two decks (one with a grill) and a patio, plus access to a nearby clubhouse with a hot tub. The attached garage offers space to store bikes, kayaks, and gear, with one parking spot inside the garage, one in the driveway, and additional guest parking nearby.
Location
Set within a short walk of downtown Dillon, the property is close to Lake Dillon, the marina, the Dillon Amphitheater, REI, restaurants, a movie theatre, and a bowling alley. Multiple bus stations (Dillon, Dillon Ridge, Buffalo Street, Post Office Dillon) are within a few hundred meters, and dining options like Vue Rooftop, Sabor Mazatlan, STEEP Brewing Lakeside Tiki Bar, Dillon Dam Brewery, and Red Mountain Grill are all within roughly a kilometer. Ski resorts including Keystone, Breckenridge, A-Basin, Copper, Loveland, Vail, and Beaver Creek are all within a 7 to 45-minute drive.
Outdoor & Seasonal Activities
The home sits near Lake Dillon and its marina (about half a mile away) for boating and fishing, along with numerous trails for hiking, biking, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing. Its proximity to major ski areas makes it a strong base for winter sports, while the lake and trail access support warm-weather recreation as well.
Best for
This property suits ski and lake vacationers who want gear storage (garage space for bikes, kayaks, and ski equipment) and easy access to multiple resorts within a 7 to 45-minute drive. It also works well for multi-generational or extended-stay groups thanks to the two-bedroom layout with private bathrooms, sofa bed, in-unit washer, and walkable access to Dillon's restaurants, shops, and the marina.
Travel tips
Note that on-street parking in Dillon is prohibited between 2:00am and 6:00am, so use the garage or driveway parking provided. While the property is marketed as walkable to downtown, some guests note it requires crossing a major road and a noticeable uphill approach to the entrance, so plan extra time if carrying luggage or gear. A car is recommended for reaching the various ski resorts, which range from about 7 to 30+ miles away.
What guests say
Guests repeatedly praise the property's spaciousness, cleanliness of the interior, and convenient proximity to ski resorts, restaurants, and shopping, with particular appreciation for the garage for storing cars and ski equipment and the in-unit washer/dryer for longer stays. Some reviewers pushed back on the "walkable to downtown" claim, noting it involves crossing a major highway and a longer walk than expected. A recurring complaint in at least one review was that the balcony area, including the grill and furniture, was left dusty and unusable, and one guest flagged a gap between the driveway and road that raised concerns about vehicle clearance. Overall sentiment remains very positive, reflected in the 5-star average across 258 reviews, with the stocked amenities and host responsiveness frequently highlighted.
