Silverthorne Vacation Rental condo

We had a great stay at this condo. The decor was very nice and everything was very clean. The view was nothing less than AWESOME. There were no buildings or anything else to obstruct the view of the mountains. The kitchen was very well stocked with cooking utensils and dishes. I may even donate a crockpot for the next visit! There were several games to play, a good selection of DVDs to watch, and also CDs to listen to. There were plenty of towels and linens for the beds. We never felt cold with the multiple thermostats in the different rooms. It was a great suprise to find that this unit was actually level with the parking! It is on the top floor, but you only have to carry your bags up about six steps. I was expecting some flights of stairs, but you actually have to go down to the lower levels or a few steps up this level. From the back deck, you are probably about 20 feet off the ground and view is Great! There were alot of maps on hiking in the different areas nearby and I also read about some less known trails that were written down in the guestbook. I am hoping to try some of them out this Summer as my boys have never been in the Colorado mountains during the Summer. By the way, my brother was able to join us on this trip and he said that the Colorado mountains and the ski slopes are far superior to the ones that he goes to in California. He also mentioned that the locals were very friendly and full of conversation. Must be a singles thing, as I didn't get any dates out of this trip. Maybe my wife on my side had a little to do with that -- no complaints on my part. In short, I would highly recommend this rental if it is close to where you want to explore. It is very close to I-70 and shopping stores, shuttles. I also expect this place to get better and better as time goes on. I have a feeling that people that rent this place feel so much at home, they wish to add a little something to make it better for the next person. There is also a small bulletin board to post photos. I couldn't take advantage of that with our digital camera and no printer, but I could see this being lots of fun. If you get a chance to go into Denver, I would highly suggest Casa Bonita's for an evening Mexican meal. Most of my family have never been there before and it was a great hit. The atmosphere is amazing and they have live entertainment such as cliff divers. An all-you-can-eat dinner is around $11.50. I have about maxed out - gotta go! --- Brent
