About this property

Backs to Nat’l Forest yet close to everything! Upgraded, MUST SEE

This home has it all for the perfect getaway! It is located 3 miles from the Keystone ski lifts. Right out our back door is the bike/hiking path as we back to the National Forest. And, the views of Fall colors are spectacular!

There are 2 master suites with plenty of private space to spread out. The 2 additional bedrooms upstairs share a full bathroom in a private hall away from the action. On the lower level, aside the 2nd master, the bunkroom provides additional sleeping complete with 2 bunks as well as a daybed all off the second family room. There are also 2 additional inflatable twin beds from Frontgate that can be moved around to increase sleeping capacity as needed.

Each family room comes with a large flat screen TV with DIRECTV and a blu ray dvd player and plenty of seating for your big group. Please watch one PayperView for free from DIRECTV's extensive list of movies. Need extra sleeping? These couches are plenty comfy, too! With new flooring and updated bathrooms, this house has it all!

Need to print boarding passes for a flight home or directions for the drive? Feel free to use our wireless printer. You can also buy your ski lift tickets and print them at our house and save yourself time in line.

In back, you will love the hot tub after a long day enjoying all that Summit County has to offer. You can even take advantage of the great deck with amazing views. It's as if we have our own private mountain!

When you are ready to tackle some adventure, you are 5 minutes from skiing Keystone, 25 minutes from Breckenridge, A-Basin, Loveland and Copper Mountain.

You can also snowshoe, hike and find Nordic trails in 5 minutes as well as bike paths and Lake Dillon.

There is also golfing, horseback riding in less than 5 minutes and boating on Lake Dillon or Keystone Lake. Looking to shop? The outlets and other shopping are less than 10 minutes away!

Treat yourself to a true vacation! We look forward to sharing our home with you.

Spring Break Trip
We enjoyed our stay in Keystone. The house was absolutely beautiful with breathtaking views. The house was fully equipped with everything we needed. We enjoyed the spacious kitchen for cooking and eating as a family. The hot tub was a plus after a day on the slopes. This was one of our favorite places we have stayed at Keystone!

Our winter stay was fabulous. We had everything we needed for our week at this house. Sledding in the back yard, hot tub, heated floor in bathroom, fireplace, close to skiing. The House has everything you could need and is in a perfect location.

Memorable family vacation
This large house offers ample space and practicality, which are essential for a ski vacation. The large kitchen is a wonderful space to gather for meals, family games, and puzzles. There are plenty of places to sleep and well placed bathrooms to accommodate a large group. When you walk in the front doors (upper and lower) , you are met with a large space to take off all necessary snow gear and ski boots. The hot tub was clean and overlooked a beautiful view of a national forest. This place could easily deserve the 5 star rating, with a few simple updates. The presence of dirty light switches, a badly stained kitchen sink, one bathroom shower drained very slowly, and very old bed pillows detracts from the overall experience. Addressing these issues through updates and attention to detail would greatly enhance the stay for future guests. It should also be noted that when we arrived, the cleaning service had not been scheduled as planned. Therefore, we were required to do our own cleaning before we could settle in for our vacation. This required us to do a significant amount of cleaning in the kitchen, and sheets for all the beds had to be laundered by us. We also had to clean the floors and do some light cleaning in the bathroom. The hosts were incredibly apologetic and did everything in their power to help us deal with this situation. Despite this significant setback and the noted cosmetic needs, my family would certainly choose this rental for our next Keystone vacation

Perfect for a tiny wedding
Ed and Michele were amazing from the first time we contacted them! My husband and I are from out of state and planned to have a fall wedding in Colorado. The property was beautiful and spacious for our small wedding of 25. The views as well as the amazing kitchen made it effortless to welcome our family and celebrate such a big occasion. It was perfect for a relaxed and beautiful wedding.

Celebrating a milestone
All our children and grandchildren stayed with us for a week of games, hiking, s'mores lots of lots of fun smack talking and reminiscing. The house is the perfect layout for a large group with a ten top table inside and outside and enough restrooms and bedrooms so everyone has their own space. Every amenity you could possibly need is in this house. The owners are fantastic and responsive.

The perfect spot
We used this home as a central location during our wedding week and it was perfect! it’s great for larger groups or medium sized groups like us who want to spread out! Several of our friends commented on how nice it was compared to other listings they had been to near by. Michele was responsive and so accommodating; we are so grateful for her hospitality and willingness to host us! It was an amazing week and we hope to visit again soon

Perfect
Where to start? The sole purpose of this trip was to let our native Floridian granddaughters experience snow. This house was perfect. It allowed the four family "units" space for privacy yet had room for family meals and game nights. The views off the master balcony and back deck were awe inspiring. The yard allowed the girls to play in the snow, sled, build snowmen and even help shovel! The property was close to shopping and all the tours/activities we had booked. The hot tub was enjoyed by those who had a strenuous day snow biking! I would highly recommend this property. We would love to return and experience it in the summer.

About the host

Hosted by M Balcerzak

Host profile image
We are a large family who lives down in Denver and loves everything about Summit County. We love summer as much as winter in the mountains and savor every moment we get to spend there.

Why they chose this property

We had spent several years looking at different properties. As soon as we walked in the door, we knew we had found our home. The size is perfect for our expanding family, allowing our children and grandchildren to enjoy everything we love about the mountains with us.

What makes this property unique

The location of the home is ideal for us, allowing us to acces the home via the Loveland Pass as well as through Silverthorne. Also, as it backs up to National Forest giving us the privacy a large family with small children needs, we have access to the activities we love from our back door!
