About this property

Ed's Mountain House - PET FRIENDLY, Spacious House

We are excited to welcome you to Ed’s Mountain House! My late husband, Ed, and I bought this modern, single family home in 2013 as a mountain get-away for us to enjoy with our son and dog on weekends away from the Denver area, as well as a vacation home to enjoy with visiting family and friends. Sadly, we lost Ed to a fierce battle with cancer in early 2015. We continue to enjoy the house ourselves, and we want to honor Ed’s passion for the Colorado Mountains by sharing this special place with others to enjoy too.

My brother, Jeff, helps me manage the property. He is also off site and manages his own vacation rental as well as other properties and will be the person who will initially contact you and available for questions and/or troubleshooting during your stay.

This house has accommodates up to 8 people, with 3 bedrooms & 2.5 bathrooms: a master bedroom with queen bed and attached master bathroom on the main level, and another full bathroom and two additional bedrooms on the 2nd level - one with a queen bed and the other with a queen bottom/twin top bunk bed. There is an additional half-bath off the kitchen on the main level, as well as a queen size sleeper sofa in the living room.

There is a small work/laptop desk with an office chair located in one of the upstairs bedrooms. Great for those who require to work on the go!

Key amenities include a spacious, fully equipped kitchen (including dishwasher & microwave oven), gas fireplace, wifi internet access, 55" flat screen smart TV (no cable or satellite but ROKU apps available), front loading washer & dryer, hair dryers in both full bathrooms, a one-car garage (with ski & bike storage space), driveway & street snow plow service, outdoor gas grill and fenced backyard (great for dogs in this pet-friendly home!).

There is a $10 per night per pet charge, with a $100 cap per pet, per month. If not included in your initial charges, these fees will be added as a separate pay request after your booking is confirmed.

Ed's Mountain House is located in the Aspens at Eagles Nest neighborhood in Silverthorne, across the street from Ravens Golf Course, less than 1 mile from the Willowbrook Trailhead, a 5 minute walk to Trent Park with a trout fishing pond, bike path, playground and tennis courts; a sledding hill across the street near the gold course and only 1.5-2 miles to Silverthorne & Dillon restaurants and shopping, and of course close access to world class alpine skiing, snow shoeing, Nordic skiing, ice skating & other snow activities in the winter, and hiking, biking, fishing, boating & summertime fun parks in the spring through fall.

The house is centrally located to several Summit & Vail County ski resorts:
Keystone - 10 miles
Copper Mountain - 14 miles
Arapahoe Basin - 15 miles
Breckenridge - 17 miles
Vail/Beaver Creek – 35 miles

You will be given the exact address upon a confirmed booking, which will be once you have made your initial payment. Town of Silverthorne Short Term Rental License Account number 30579.

We hope you consider staying at Ed’s Mountain House for your Colorado Mountain getaway!

Great location, house, and yard!

This place was perfect for a friend or family weekend away. The house and furnishings were just as pictured, the space itself was great for our group of 6, and the dogs loved running around in the snow in the backyard. The house was warm and cozy with the fireplace, and the wifi connection was great. The location is accessible to anything you'd need, but just enough distance away from major ski resorts to have a neighborhoodly feel. Kristen and Jeff were so communicative, making sure our stay was as comfortable as possible. We hope to be back!

Great House and Awesome Hosts…Just Rent It!

We had a fantastic stay over Thanksgiving at Ed’s Mountain House! In fact, we were having so much fun that we extended our stay to get in an extra ski day. The hosts are super responsive and answered all my questions within minutes. The location is ideal—quiet and peaceful, yet close to everything you need. It is about 25-30 minutes from Breckenridge, Keystone, Copper, and Vail. Restaurants and shopping are within just a mile or two. The property is dog-friendly, with a fully fenced yard, that made it easy to let our dogs safely go outside. Inside, the house is comfortable and well-maintained, with a cozy atmosphere that made it feel like home. The kitchen is well-stocked with all the essentials, which made cooking a breeze. Overall, the perfect spot for a relaxing stay!

Comfortable home

We enjoyed our stay very much. It was a well-stocked and comfortable house. It backed up to a fairly busy road, but was still quiet. It was in a good location for accessing a lot of great hikes.

I giving this property a C

The property was just ok. The front step is barely attached to the porch at an odd angle. I think someone will slip and fall if this is not repaired. There is a lovely dinning room but the lights don’t work, there was a sign on the switch that states to turn on the light will trip the breaker. We slept in the downstairs bedroom, please replace the mattress soon. The furniture is soiled but clean and worn. Many of the blinds are missing slats. There was plenty of towels but there old and nothing matches. The back yard was covered in leaves that appeared to have been there for a while. The bones are here but not worth the value

Great house!

This is a perfect spot to base your vacation to Summit County out of! Quiet neighborhood but still close to everything. The house was spotless and has all the amenities you could need. Comfortable beds and great layout. We even saw moose! Very communicative property manager for the few questions I had. Don’t hesitate to book your stay at Ed’s Mountain House!

Aspen Getaway

Location is convenient to Dillon, Frisco, Silverthorne and even Vail and Breckenridge. Neighborhood was quiet, fenced yard for our little dog, walkable and Aspens were in full bloom. Nice little park within walking distance. Beds were comfortable, kitchen had all you need. It was cool weather and we enjoyed the fireplace. If we get to return to the area would like to book again. Kristen, the owner was very nice, professional and helpful.

Nice!

We brought 4 of our grandkids for a couple nights and the house layout was great for us. It was middle of July and the upstairs bedrooms were quite warm for sleeping even with windows open, fans would be nice. The property managers were responsive and willing to help with a small issue. The area is very nice. There is a small park within 5 minutes walking distance and our grandkids and our dog really enjoyed going there.

The house is very comfortable and has EVERYTHING. Just needs a very good cleaning. There is layers of dust on the fans, lights and walls that caused the family to have allergies. The towels are a bit stained as well. It is very close to everything as well.

It was not very clean. There were concrete mites and black mites on the bathroom and kitchen floors. The bottom sheets did not fit the bed. The remote garage door opener did not work. It was a nice location and we managed but we would not stay there again.

Great location; clean, stocked and great for us

Really appreciated the opportunity to bring our pet. Location was perfect for our skiing at Breck and Keystone...just minutes away. Kitchen was stocked with everything we needed; liked the coffee press touch, and Keurig machine (pods or ground options). It was nice to have a pantry area for all of our food. The under-stairs storage area also gave us extra room to toss anything and keep the areas tidy. Didn't need to utilize the large washer and dryer, but it is a great value-add. Garage was roomy enough for one of our vehicles and the driveway was very easy to pull in and out of (sharing with neighbor). Liked the idea of there being recycle. Grill worked well for our steaks and burgers. Thank you for providing snow shovels and salt; we de-iced the back porch for you (and future guests). The three bedrooms were nicely-sized. And thank you for those compact room fans - we didn't find them until day 3, but then they were great for circulating air. Kitchen was open and spacious. Thank you for the compact double-oven - that came in super handy. Everything was very clean. Plenty of linens. Nice big tv and channel choices. Also appreciate the large dining table - we played a lot of games. Nice large windows in the dining area kept everything very bright downstairs. Nice quiet neighbors. Thank you for having a few cleaning supplies available for guests so we could keep-up ourselves with tidy-ness if desired during the stay. Didn't have the chance to use the fancy hide-a-bed, but I bet it would have been comfy. Would highly recommend your rental and we appreciate your allowing us to use it. Ski In Peace Ed!

Great home in a quiet neighborhood & close to trails!

We had a fantastic stay and loved Ed's house. The house had everything we needed to feel at home and loved having the yard and proximity to trails. Our only feedback is the upstairs bunkbed is pretty squeaky. We suggest two twin beds or two twin bunkbeds so we can have more people in the house. We operate a ski camp for girls on Copper mountain and our staff stayed at the house. We will come back every year especially if those aforementioned changes are made!

About the host

Hosted by Kristen Payne

Host profile image
My husband Ed and I bought this modern, single family home in 2013 as a mountain get-away for us to enjoy with our young son and dog on weekends away from the Denver area, as well as a vacation home to enjoy with visiting family and friends to enjoy. Sadly, we lost Ed to a fierce battle with cancer in early 2015…and although we will continue to enjoy the house, we want to honor Ed’s passion for the Colorado Mountains by sharing this special place with others to enjoy, too.

Why they chose this property

Location, location, location! Ed and I married in 2008 at a ranch on a bluff not much farther north on Highway 9 from this property. We chose that location for our summer wedding for the same reason we chose this house for our weekend get-aways -- it's easy to get to from our primary home in Golden, as well as for friends and guests to reach from the Denver area/DIA. Ed's passion for skiing is carried on by me and our makes this location even more perfect -- such easy access to so many of our favorite ski resorts!

What makes this property unique

Besides the location, we love this house for some many other reasons -- we love the single family home set up, the heated attached garage, full size washer and dryer (to warm up wet ski clothes from the day before!), spacious and modern kitchen, fenced backyard for our golden retriever, 3 decent sized bedrooms and a very comfy queen sized sleeper sofa for the extra people you want to include!
