Summit Peaks Lodges

I was there with family over New Years. When we got there the place had not been cleaned properly. We had to wash towels and sheets ourselves, several of the trash cans were full, we found empty beer bottles and discarded clothes in several rooms and closets. The washer and dryer did not work properly. The heating system did not work well as it was always either freezing or overheating. The quality of the furniture was terrible. I do not mind old or outdated furniture, but when most of the cushions and arms of the sofas and chairs have collapsed it is time to replace them.

The lodge is fantastic, and the owner is great to work with. It is very easy to get to from Denver. We had family from all over the country fly in and meet us there. The North lodge had more than everything we needed for 11 people to be very comfortable and the 360 views of mountains are breathtaking. We woke up every morning and had coffee to the view out the front porch, and drinks watching the sunset off the side and back porches in the evening.nnWe spent a day in Breckenridge walking around where we ate and walked around the river walks while people in our group shopped. There are many great restaurants in Frisco, Breckenridge, and Sivlerthorne all of which are in close proximity to each other.nnThere are many outdoor adventure companies in the area to choose from for mountain biking (Rebel Sports), zip lining, rafting (AVA), and off road adventures. The next day some of us rented kayaks and went on the lake while the rest of us rented bikes and took the kids on the very scenic downhill ride from Vail pass through Copper back to Frisco. I’d highly recommend the bikes and make sure you stop at the rock patio if you do this ride, very cool story behind it and fun to experience! We took a morning and went whitewater rafting down the Blue which was mostly class 3 whitewater at the time, perfect for kids. We spent some time hiking one of the trails right by the lodge. It’s only a 3 minute drive to the trailhead. Great trail, kids had a blast.nnWe then spent the remaining days running the off road trails and exploring all of the old mining country and the history of the area, and evenings in the hot tub and grilling out on the back deck. We also hit a few of the Silverthorne restaurants for breakfast (White Lion) and pizza (Windy City Pizza, Nick n’ Willy’s). Very good.nnThe kids had so much fun exploring the area that their personal electronics got a rest for most of the week. It was a fantastic week to get together as a family and there just wasn’t enough days to do all of the activities there are to do in the area. We plan on going back again for sure!

Beautiful loghouse, we enjoyed the stay

Epic location. Ideal for skiing in the winter and hiking in the summer, Summit Peaks Lodge is located on Buffalo mountain in Silverthorne only minutes away from half a dozen ski resorts and thousands of hiking trails. I have been coming here for years and will continue to come because I love the location. The price you pay for having the option to go to Keystone, A-Basin, Copper, Vail, Beaver Creek or Breckenridge is unrivaled. Best place to stay in Summit County.

Had so much fun while staying at The Summit Peaks South Lodge this weekend. Very accommodating and provided a very comfortable atmosphere. Would recommend for anyone wanting an authentic Colorado experience!
