About this cabin rental

Read the reviews of guests that have utilized this special cabin, over the last few years, as the ideal retreat after a day of winter outdoor recreation. With half a dozen world class Summit County ski resorts just 30-40 minutes drive, you can't beat this location as a best-of-both worlds as you escape the crowds each evening. Heeney based snowmobiling is just a 5 minute drive for even more handy fun and adventure! Watch or join in the ice fishing that takes places each winter on Green Mountain Reservoir.

As you turn off Highway 9 on to Heeney Road you will literally feel the stresses of the world melting away. The idyllic settings along this windy mountain road are a more intimate continuation of the scenic ride and vistas you've already been enjoying along your drive into the high country. Mountains and Otter Creek ranch, hiking to lower and upper Cataract lakes to one side, cows at pasture, large open meadows, and the lake below it all on the other. Once you are on the lake you are wowed by 360 views.

From one of the best view spots on the lake you find yourself transported into modern lake cabin charm and comfort at the Silver Sunset cabin. Rich wood tones envelope you from the tongue and groove ceilings with beams to the teak wood flooring and rustic wood accents. A window seat and huge viewing window, large sliding doors and great deck ensure exposure to the serene views, sunrises, sunsets, shadows playing on the hills across the reservoir, fox visitors, local bird life, deer and other wildlife.

A highly efficient real wood burning fireplace adds warms and glow to your mornings or evenings and supplements a modern forced air heating system. An open floor plan and full entertainment center allows for more enjoyment possibilities.

A full kitchen with new appliances awaits your simply delicious or creative gourmet cookery. Everything you need, a blender, crock pot, full range and oven, microwave, spices, oils and dishwasher for clean up along with a beautiful modern refrigerator.

A washer and dryer are handy for cleaning up after adventures as well as the shower and tub in the full, charming as all get out, bathroom.

Bedrooms with dressers, two nightstands each, bedside lighting, beds with quality, cozy, clean bedding, closets and carpet beneath your feet make for gems of rooms that are little retreats within themselves.

If you are treated to watching a storm blow in with all it's majesty upon the lake you will even enjoy the sound of rain on the new metal roof, in summer, and often a rainbow.

In the winter you will feel enveloped in nature's own painting of the extreme beauty of magical snow-scapes with serene views from your cozy spot.

Come stay and play with us. As a team, owners Mark and Autumn make themselves highly available to ensure a perfect stay.

Loved our 5 week stay at the cabin. Epic views of the frozen lake. Nice and cozy when we wanted to stay in, but close enough to all the ski hills and town for when we wanted to get out. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Autumn was very communicative and helpful.

Absolutely incredible experience staying here. The cabin itself is well stocked to feel like home, but the view is really the best part. Waking up to it can be the highlight of a lot of days that you are not hiking in the area. It’s right around the corner from Upper Cataract Lake Trail, which is very impressive if you can manage the 12-mile hike. The host is very generous with firewood and is very communicative. If you have a 4wd vehicle, I highly recommend driving up FS-200 (to the left out of the reservoir) and going up to Williams peak up the mountains across from the reservoir. A genuinely unforgettable experience staying at this cabin. Will likely be back.

i stayed at this vrbo for around 6 weeks while I waited to close on my new house. It was very clean when me and my 2 dogs checked in. The views are amazing from the deck or living room - green mountain reservoir with the mountains behind it. very relaxing and quiet neighborhood which was a combination of weekend 2nd homeowners and full time residents. weekly garbage pick up by the property management company since I was staying for several weeks. The fireplace/stove looked great, but it wasn't quite cold enough to try it out. It has been updated nicely and my pups and I stayed until the final hour to check out - great place to stay.

This was an amazing location and the cabin was just enough space for a small party like us (2 adults, 2 dogs). It was nice to be in a quiet out-of-the-way spot but to also have all the stuff of modern life down the road in Silverthorne/Frisco/Breckenridge, plus the hotsprings in Steamboat are only an hour away! The best part for us was the hiking that is within 20-minutes. Definitely check out Acorn Creek Loop (go clockwise!) and the various lake hikes just behind Heeney in Eagles Nest Wilderness. Thanks for a great stay!

The cabin looks exactly like the pictures. The view of the lake is gorgeous. Cleanliness was also very good. We basically had everything we needed in the cabin. Be prepared to drive 30 minutes to an hour away from the restaurants and nightlife but you can enjoy the view while driving

We loved staying here. It is a comfortable, roomy cabin with an amazing view of mountains and the lake from the living room and deck. There are friendly neighbors around that gave us great tips on local hiking trails. Nearby Cataract Lake Loop was the favorite hike of our trip.

Night one we sat out on the deck and just stared at the stars - AMAZING! Every morning was coffee on the deck while watching the boats enjoying the lake and the hummingbirds. It is an easy drive to Silverthorn for food, shopping and fun. We highly recommend staying here!
