Welcome to your mountain basecamp—a space designed for total relaxation and effortless mountain living.
The layout is thoughtfully designed for families, couples, or a small group of friends. The primary bedroom features a queen bed for a comfortable night’s sleep, while the second bedroom has two twin beds—great for kids or extra guests. There’s also a sleeper sofa in the living room, allowing the condo to comfortably accommodate up to six. After a full day of adventure, you can relax by the electric fireplace and catch a movie.
Two full bathrooms make mornings smooth, so there is no fighting over shower time before heading out for the day. Practicality is key here; you’ll have a free in-unit washer and dryer, which is a huge bonus after muddy trail runs, lake days, or powder mornings. The complex also offers shared hot tub and grill areas, available on a first-come, first-served basis—perfect for soaking under the stars or firing up the grill for an easy mountain dinner.
Just outside your door, you’re perfectly positioned off Dillon Dam Road, right in the "sweet spot" between Dillon and Frisco. Let’s talk about the view: Giberson Bay—part of Lake Dillon Reservoir—sits directly across the street. That means wide-open water, mountain backdrops, and those classic Colorado sunrises are just steps from your door. Whether it’s morning walks along the shoreline, summer paddleboarding, or snowy lake views in the winter, it’s all right there.
You are minutes from Breckenridge, Keystone, Silverthorne, and easy access to I-70, making this an ideal home base whether you’re coming up from the Denver area for the weekend or planning a full-scale ski trip. This is the kind of walkable lakeside spot locals recommend to friends when they want everything within easy reach without constantly repacking the car.
Wintertime in Colorado brings many opportunities for play and adventure, as well as seasonal hazards that require consideration. AWD or 4WD capable vehicles are required from November - April for all guests. Please plan your travel accordingly.

The neighborhood:
Living here feels like having the best of the Rockies right in your backyard. You’re perfectly positioned just off Dillon Dam Road, sitting in that coveted "sweet spot" between the mountain charm of Dillon and the historic, bustling energy of Frisco. Being just over a mile from both towns means you’re never more than a few minutes away from a local brewery, a quiet morning at a coffee shop, or a quick grocery run. It’s the kind of central hub that makes a short-term rental feel like a permanent home.
The property’s setting on Giberson Bay is really what sets the tone for your stay. Having the Lake Dillon Reservoir directly across the street gives you an immediate connection to the water and wide-open mountain views that never get old. Whether you’re watching the sunrise over the bay or taking a sunset stroll along the shoreline, the natural surroundings are the star of the show. It’s a quiet, scenic pocket that feels tucked away, yet you’re right on top of some of the best walkable and bikeable trails in the county.
Adventure-wise, you couldn't ask for a better launchpad. You’re surrounded by miles of top-notch hiking and biking trails—like the paved Summit County Rec Path—that range from casual lakeside strolls to lung-busting singletrack. Because you’re right off I-70, the location is incredibly convenient for anyone coming up from the Denver area or heading out to explore the world-class peaks nearby. You’re just a short, easy drive from Breckenridge, Keystone, and Silverthorne, making this the ultimate basecamp for a personal reset or a multi-resort ski trip.
Being centrally located between the major ski resorts and the reservoir means your itinerary can change with the weather. One day you’re hitting the slopes at Keystone, and the next you’re exploring the local shops in Frisco or catching a summer concert at the Dillon Amphitheater. This neighborhood offers that authentic, casual Colorado lifestyle where everything is within easy reach, allowing you to spend less time driving and more time actually enjoying the mountains.
Top 5 Things to Do
- Frisco Bay Marina: Rent a pontoon, kayak, or paddleboard to explore the islands of Lake Dillon, or simply grab a drink at the Island Grill and watch the sailboats come in.
- Frisco Historic Park & Museum: Take a self-guided walk through the original 1800s schoolhouse and cabins on Main Street to see what mountain life looked like during the mining boom.
- Frisco Adventure Park: A year-round hub where you can go snow tubing and beginner skiing in the winter, or hit the bike park, skate park, and disc golf course in the summer.
- Main Street Stroll: Walk "The Main Street to the Rockies" to browse local boutiques like Rivers Clothing Company or Wyatt West, followed by a photo op with the Tenmile Range towering in the background.
- Tenmile Music Hall: Catch a live show at the highest year-round music venue in the U.S.—it’s the heart of the local nightlife and concert scene.
Top 5 Restaurants & Happy Hour Spots
- Tavern West: A local favorite for upscale "New American" comfort food. Their Happy Hour (4 PM – 6 PM) in the bar is legendary for rotisserie chicken mac & cheese and craft cocktails.
- Outer Range Brewing Co.: Known for some of the best IPAs in the country. It shares a space with Mountain Dweller Coffee, making it the perfect spot for a morning latte or a post-hike brew with Thai fried chicken from the on-site kitchen.
- 5th Avenue Grille: A classic Main Street staple. Head here for a more sophisticated vibe and great après deals on appetizers like sesame Brussels sprouts and Signature Bang Shrimp.
- Ein Prosit: An authentic Bavarian beer hall where you sit at community tables. Grab a giant pretzel and a Belgian or German beer—it's the best casual spot for a quick, high-energy happy hour.

Top 5 Hikes in the Area
- Sapphire Point Overlook (Easy): A 0.6-mile loop that offers the most famous view in the county. It’s flat, fast, and the best place to see the sunset over the reservoir.
- Rainbow Lake (Easy): A gentle 1.5-mile round-trip walk through aspen groves that leads to a peaceful beaver pond. Perfect for families or a quick morning leg-stretcher.
- Lily Pad Lake (Intermediate): A 3.3-mile hike that takes you through thick evergreen forests to two alpine lakes covered in yellow lily pads. It feels much deeper in the wilderness than it actually is.
- Mount Royal (Difficult): This is a Frisco "rite of passage." It’s short (4 miles round trip) but very steep, gaining nearly 1,400 feet. The payoff is a literal bird’s-eye view of downtown Frisco and the entire lake.
- Peaks Trail (Intermediate/Difficult): A beautiful 10-mile (one-way) trail that connects Frisco to Breckenridge. It’s mostly rolling terrain but long; many locals hike one way and take the free Summit Stage bus back.
