About this house rental

Welcome to The Cozy Cardinal Chalet! A true Colorado mountain retreat! Enjoy beautiful mountain views from this unique single family home nestled in aspen trees. The Cozy Cardinal is located on Buffalo Mountain with views of Lake Dillon, the Continental Divide, Grays Peak, Independence Mountain, Bald Mountain, Keystone and Breckenridge ski resorts. In the winter time, the house is a perfect home base if you’d like to try multiple ski resorts. In the summer, take off on foot or bike to explore the nearby White River National Forest or stay and relax all day in a hammock. Grill dinner out on the spacious deck, soak up the sun and take in the views. You are truly away from it all, while the amenities of Silverthorne- restaurants and shopping- are just minutes away at the bottom of the hill.

With a plethora of shopping and dining options and quick access to I70, Silverthorne is the ideal home base to explore the Colorado mountains. We are a little over an hour from Denver- about one hour and twenty minutes from Denver International Airport. The home is extremely convenient to all the Summit and Eagle County Ski resorts- Keystone (10 minutes), Breckenridge (20 minutes), Vail (35 minutes), Beaver Creek (45 minutes), Copper Mountain (15 minutes), Loveland (15 minutes), Winter Park (50 minutes).

ABOUT THE HOUSE
This is a truly unique home, with three updated and well-appointed levels!

*Entry*
The small entry foyer is located between the first and second levels. You will find coat hooks, a ski rack and shoe trays here. We ask that you please leave all shoes and boots in the foyer.

*First Level*
The lower level consists of two bedrooms, a bathroom and laundry. The lower front bedroom has twin bunk beds, a toy box and a dresser with a fun mountain theme. This room is mainly intended for children. The top bunk has a weight limit of 200lbs. The closet in this bedroom is being used for housekeeping storage. The lower rear bedroom has a queen sized bed, roku tv, and dresser with a southwest theme. This room has a large walk-in closet. You will find a few extra blankets, humidifier, pack-n-play, vacuum, broom and dust pan, iron and small ironing board here. The newly remodeled bathroom features radiant floor heat, a tub/shower with window and tiled ledge for all of your bath essentials.

*Second Level*
This is the main living area. A wonderful, cozy space with an open concept design. This level contains the living room, dining room, kitchen and breakfast bar with huge windows to take in the expansive mountain views and a door onto the very large deck. The living room features a cheery wood burning fireplace. With stainless steel appliances and quartz countertops, the kitchen is updated, modern and very well stocked. There are pots, pans, baking trays and dishes, and numerous small appliances. The deck is a wonderful extension to the living space with a seating area, table and chairs, and gas grill.

*Third level*
This level is the master suite with a fun boho inspired design- blacks, whites and grays with a splash of yellow. There is a king sized bed, dresser, reading chair, roku tv, and a little office nook with desk and chair. The mountain views from the king sized bed are absolutely incredible! The bathroom is a few steps down from the bedroom and features a large walk-in shower with bench. Like most houses in the Colorado mountains, we do not have air conditioning. The third floor gets warm on sunny summer days. Opening the windows up in the evening will cool the room pretty quickly since night time temperatures are very cool. You may want to close the blinds and drapes at night to maintain the temperature- but maybe not, as the sunrise view is pretty amazing! The lower levels of the house stay fairly cool all day.

Indoor fires in the wood-burning fireplace are permitted November through April. Please use extreme caution as the area is prone to wildfires. There is firewood stacked about the property. One rack of wood near the fireplace is provided complimentary. If you require additional firewood, it is available for purchase at Lowes. Chopping and stacking firewood is hard work! We have enough for winter for ourselves and one rack per guest.

The house offers wifi and three roku TVs. Guest can sign onto their Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime and other popular smartTV apps using their accounts. We do not have cable service.

The house is equipped with a ring alarm system, consisting of motion detectors, door and window sensors, smoke and co2 alarm listeners and video doorbell. There is also a security camera on the front exterior of the home and wildlife cameras on the side and rear exterior recording motion, audio and video 24/7 for the protection of our home. If tampered with, guest will be asked to vacate the property without refund of stay.

This is not just a rental property. This is our mountain home. Great care and thought was put into all the little details. We truly hope you enjoy all the special touches and unique charm of our little mountain retreat.

A 4WD vehicle is strongly recommended in the winter. The I70 corridor has traction laws in effect in the winter months.

We have a plow service for the driveway in the winter months. We also have a shoveling service for the deck and front of the house. They may come up to 48 hours after a storm.

We booked the property last minute and it was a really nice stay, we came up from Florida for a long weekend. The size was perfect for 3 adults or a small family (although the bunk beds are very small). It was in a great location and had pretty much everything you could ask for, we loved the games and cards. The living room furniture was a little odd, there is a bench that is really just for show... My only reason for not giving it 5 stars is because the rules and requests made by the property owner are A LOT. More than I have ever seen with my VRBO experiences. They're beyond detailed and reminded to you at every corner. They email you several times, they text them to remind you and they have the binder and signs all over the home. It made us cautious the entire time and unable to fully relax, thinking is this against the rules, did we turn that switch/light off, did we put that back.... They also request a good amount of clean up before you leave, taking off sheets, linens, etc... Its someones personal home which I understand, but we signed the agreement and understood the terms, it just felt like they shoved it down your throat. Just a forewarning if you book :-)

We really enjoyed our stay at the Cozy Cardinal! The views were beautiful from the main level as well as the master suite. The master suite was private and spacious, with a very comfortable king bed. The kitchen area was a good size and stocked with everything we needed. Our boys loved having their own bedrooms on the lower level (great decorations and very comfortable beds). The host was very responsive to questions and checking in to see if we needed anything. Would recommend a 4wheel drive vehicle if it is going to snow more than 4-6". We would definitely stay again in the future.

My wife and I found this home to be perfect for our honeymoon and first trip to CO! The location was great and we fell in love with Silverthorne! The house was clean, cozy, well decorated, and well stocked. Jill even sent us a video of a moose walking through the yard in the morning! Dont miss the sunrise through the master bedroom windows. Although there is no AC, keeping the windows open at night was perfect. We were worried about the construction next door but they were quiet the entire week! I highly recommend this house for any mountain getaway.
