Wonderful condo
The condo is absolutely as pictured and described, and the universally positive reviews are justified. This is the most spotlessly clean condo I have ever rented, and by far the best stocked. My wife loves to cook, so she brought her favorite pans and utensils, but literally anything you could possibly want was already here (usually in duplicate).There is an unbelievably comprehensive selection of dishware, pots and pans, silverware, utensils, and glasses (coffee/drinking/wine/champagne) far beyond what could reasonably be expected. The spice and condiment selection was remarkably thorough, and there was plenty of leftover coffee and tea, ziplock bags, laundry and dishwashing detergent, foil, etc. when we arrived (YMMV, obviously). Everything worked as it should. There were humidifiers and plenty of blankets. The bedlinens were comfortable and clean, as were the generous selection of towels. The bathrooms were clean with a nice selection of soaps/lotions.We never took the shuttle, but the drive to Keystone was quick and easy, and the free parking at the River Run lot was not full even on spring break week. I would note that the parking lot and dropoff at the Mountain House lot is much closer to the lift however. The long walk from the gondola back to the River Run lot is a tough end to the day.The only negative at all was the fact the condo elevator was not working, but I can't blame Nick for that. We would love to stay here again.

Just as advertised!
We have been to CO countless times, but this was our first time staying in Dillon. This place was absolutely wonderful! Loved the location...super close to lots of restaurants and shopping. We skied Arapahoe and Loveland and it was about a 15 min drive to each. The heated garage and ski locker made it so convenient to load up quickly in the morning. The condo was extremely clean and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay! Nick was amazing and responded to all of our questions immediately. Highly recommend!!!

Condo was great. Very nice felt very cozy, inviting.The only issue was the gas fire place what a joke, 2 small flames not much bigger than a candle. Hard to believe such a great condo would have such a deficiency.

Stay in Dillon
Awesome stay! The apartment was clean and well equipped. Everything was labeled and straight forward. Super close to Keystone and not too far from Breck. Nick was very helpful and a good communicator. Two parking spaces available in the garage (there is a support beam in between though). Would recommend to anyone looking for a good place to stay for a ski trip!

Great place for a long weekend and a concert!
This location was perfect for our mom daughter’s trip to see a concert at the Dillon Amphitheater. Easy walking distance to the show made it a dream. There was a great farmers market on Friday right out our door. Owner was proactive and actually called to walk thru the check in before he emailed it. Owner was responsive to the message that I sent during our stay.

Immaculate and beautiful yet cozy too
Exactly as pictured and as described by so many 5-star reviewers. We felt fortunate to be able to book such a nice home on short notice for a holiday weekend. A luxury price, but deservedly so. We particularly appreciated the spartan and tasteful (truly beautiful!) decoration, the kitchen stocked with cook's tools, and the general impression of generosity and trust toward renter-guests. Thank you!

Trombone Shorty concert
Our son is a big fan of Trombone Shorty and when we saw he was playing at the amphitheater we had to go! The property met all of our needs. Major pluses: you have a garage and parking space, walking distance to the amphitheater, and a couple restaurants. Parking for events or restaurants seems to be hard to come by or impossible at times, as we overheard from others around us, making the garage and parking space a huge commodity. Thank you for hosting!

Ski vacation
My family of 5 stayed for a long ski vacation weekend. This property was perfectly located! Only 5 or so minutes to Keystone and about 20 to Breck. We love to ski both so it was perfect! The Mexican restaurant below was a hit after a long cold day of skiing and my kids loved the fro yo place! Thank you!!!

Great Ski Getaway
Myself and 4 buddies stayed here for our annual ski trip. Nick was very communicative and the property was clean, well kept and well stocked. It was spacious and each of us had our own private area to rest. The kitchen was easy to use. Overall it was quiet (except for the city snowplows at 3:00 in the morning, which was not a fault on the property). Overall, this is a great place to stay. It was convenient and was an easy/quick drive to the 3 mountains we skied; Keystone, Copper and Vail. Would absolutely recommend staying here.

Excellent property
This was a great condo in the heart of Dillon, well-equipped and clean. The check in process was easy and we had no issues whatsoever. The only thing that wasn’t perfect about the stay is that the condo was quite far from the entrance/parking/hot tub. It was a small inconvenience but might be more impactful for someone with mobility issues.

Reunion with College Friends
Myself and one of my dear friends from college stayed here while meeting a larger group in Dillon for the weekend. Perfectly walkable to the lake and some greats food and drink spots! Nice privacy with one bed/bath upstairs and one down. We loved coffee and chatting on the spacious patio. It was very quiet and the neighbors were super friendly. Also loved having the private parking garage on this busy holiday weekend. Check in and out was easy! Thank you so much! Would definitely stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Nick Crothers

Host profile image
We moved to Colorado in 2008 and have never looked back. We love the mountains and everything they offer to enjoy nature. We enjoy hiking, skiing, fly fishing, and landscape photography... anything that gets us outside.

Why they chose this property

Dillon is a great mountain town on a large lake surrounded by world class mountains. Locals know Summit County is as fun in the summer as it is in the winter. Lake Dillon provides an array of summer activities that other towns just can't offer such as sailing, boating, kayaking, stand up paddling, fishing and views!

In the winter it is centrally located amongst 5 world class ski resorts and the heated indoor garage make it easy to come and go.

The town of Dillon is a popular retreat with a strong foothold of micro breweries and a focus on family friendly activities. It has everything we are looking for during all four seasons. The downtown is very walkable to the Lake, Parks, Marina, Coffee Shops, FroYo, Brewpubs, and Restaraunts. We live in the suburbs in Denver/Boulder and it's nice to head up to this property and park the car for the weekend.

La Riva Del Lago has far and away the nicest condo units in Dillon. The condo sits on top of 3 stories of commercial space and the construction of the building insulates the condo from any sound in the commercial space. This provides elevated and long ranging views of the surrounding mountains and Lake Dillon. It is just a great getaway in the mountains.

What makes this property unique

Oversized Interiors, Access Controlled Building, 2 reserved parking spots in secured and heated garage, use of private storage in garage, large private patio.

All of these items make for a hassle free stay that allows everyone to relax and enjoy their vacation.
