About this house rental

We invite you to step back into the history of Dillon, CO. This family vacation home is our transformed mountain retreat, which we purchased from the State of Colorado in 1964. The original structure was a tractor and horse barn for the Ranger Station in the old town of Dillon. It was located where the Lake was to be built; thus, the family purchased and moved it to its current location in 1964. We converted the structure into a beautiful mountain home that comfortably sleep 13 people. Its history is quite remarkable and our home is listed as one of the historical buildings of Dillon CO.

You will be greeted with the original wood that covers all the 1st floor interior, along with many of the “barn features” as we have attempted to maintain some of its original construction. The spacious kitchen was converted from the two horse stalls. The family room was the garage for the Rangers' large tractors. The main floor bathroom was the tack room, and you will note the grain drop in the hallway. Up the original staircase to the second floor we raised the roof for comfort sake and put in the 2nd bathroom. The original wood was used for the wainscoting with dry wall above to accent the wood. Note the original wood flooring upstairs.

After this remarkable remodel and upgrades, the family endearingly nicknamed our mountain home “the Barn”. Our home offers a cozy setting all four seasons. Most of all, its location is easily accessible to all the year-round Summit County offerings. Close skiing includes Keystone, Arapahoe Basin, Breckenridge and Copper Mountain. You can walk to Lake Dillon Reservoir, enjoy boating or simply enjoy the spectacular view. There are easy to challenging hiking trails throughout the magnificent Rocky Mountains. Also, you are within close access to great restaurants in Dillon and surrounding towns. Be sure to try Arapahoe Café in Dillon.

We had a group of 10 and had a wonderful stay at Dillon Barn! The history is so cool and you can feel the many joyful times that have been shared over the years there! Perfect location with the lake being a short walk away. Absolutely recommend this spot - I think it would be lovely for a family stay as well :)

Stayed here for two nights with a group of 13 (Three Families). There was plenty of bed space for everyone. The house itself drips with character. From what I could gather, it was converted from a 100+ year-old state park building. It's adorned with old park memorabilia and signs. The living room is gigantic with plush carpet, several couches, and a poker table. The location was great. We had plenty of options for dinner and were surrounded by ski resorts. We skied Copper and Loveland.

We loved how at home we all felt in this house! The fireplace in the living room was a great place to gather in front of and enjoy each others company.

The spacious home was great of our group of 9 adults/teens/kids. Kitchen and living room provided a lot of space for us to spread out. Location is an easy drive into Dillon/Silverthorne and to Keystone and A-Basin ski resorts. Only improvement would be to invest in better mattresses for the bunks and single bed…Otherwise it worked great for us. Thank you for sharing your home!

We loved this cabin in the mountains. We had 10 friends on our annual ski vacation. This property was that cabin in the mountains you are looking for. Big kitchen we could all be together while we cooked and a beautiful gas fireplace surrounded by couches where we could talk into the night. The TV as very small as we were watching the Oscars but that was the only thing that wasn't perfect for our needs.

Everything was great! The house is very quaint with room to spread out. The kitchen was well stocked and there were plenty of bath towels. Check in and check out were easy.
