Close to 5 Ski Resorts - On Free Bus Route - Blue River in Backyard + Hot Tub

The River Run Townhome by Mountain Vacation Lodging is a larger than average 3-Bedroom that backs right up to the Blue River. In the fall of 2021, it was refurnished and filled with brand new items, from the mattresses & furniture to the linens and decor. The heated garage has been converted into a heated game room and gear storage area. The property offers a lot of square footage, 4 bathrooms, good separation of spaces, & beautiful views. It also has a very convenient location, directly on the bike path and the Summit Stage free bus line, with service to shopping, dining, and of course, all of the area's ski resorts! This townhome is relatively new construction, so the ceilings are high, the rooms are large, and the finishes are of consistently good to high quality. Combine that with the new furnishings, and you have a really nice, spacious, comfortable place to call home during your vacation. Please read on for more details.

The Property:
There are 3 levels of living space, allowing your group to spread out when you like. The main living area is on the middle level. It has an open concept layout which allows even the largest groups to gather together and enjoy each other's company. The kitchen is fully equipped and big enough for multiple chefs to share. The kitchen bar is a great place to serve up breakfast or appetizers. It features lots of space on the granite slab counters, ample cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a fridge with filtered water and ice, plus little extras, such as the spices. The adjacent living room has a very comfy leather furniture set that includes a sleeper sofa, loveseat, and armchair, all focused around the massive HDTV and warm gas fireplace. This level does include a full bathroom, perfect for groups who plan to make use of that sleeper sofa. The formal dining table seats 6 comfortably, and doubles as a game table for those who like to play cards or board games. Finally, this level includes two outdoor spaces. You'll have a front balcony off the dining area with views of the 13,000 + foot peaks in the Eagle's Nest Wilderness. The back deck is large and partially covered, with outdoor furniture, a gas grill. From here, you'll enjoy the peaceful sounds and views of the Blue River. Keep an eye out for eagles, osprey, or maybe even a moose!

The upper level has the best views, and includes bedrooms 1 and 2. Both bedrooms include a private bathroom, a large HDTV, and a walk in closet. Bedroom 1 has a King bed, a reading chair, and views of the Blue River. Bedroom 2 has a Split King bed, a reading chair, and views of the Eagle's Nest Wilderness. The split King means that the bed can be set up as 2 extra long Twins or as a regular King bed. The owners have supplied beautiful plush bedding sets for it to be set up as a King or as 2 extra long Twins. Just let us know your preference when you book, so that we can advise housekeeping to set it up the way that works for your group. Bedrooms 1 and 2 are both large enough for couples who have babies - plenty of floor space for a pac n play. On this upper level, in between the 2 bedrooms, you have a landing area with laundry - a full size washer and dryer.

The ground level includes bedroom 3, another bathroom, the back patio, and a 2 car garage that has been converted into a game room, mud room, and gear storage area that includes ski and board racks as well as boot and glove dryers! This game room and secondary living space is a great place for kids or adults alike to recreate before or after your day out and about. It becomes an even bigger bonus space on those "days off," when you aren't planning to ski, hike, bike or otherwise enjoy the outdoors. If it's rainy, or if you just don't feel like venturing out, having that game room is huge! Bedroom 3 is the third suite with its own private bathroom. It features another Split King bed that can be set up as a King or 2 Twins, as well as a large HDTV, and reading chair. It also has a desk for those who need to get some work, or homework, done. This bedroom is a very private area, with the game room acting as a buffer in between the entry area and the bedroom. Finally, bedroom 3 has direct access to the back patio and yard. The back patio is also where you will find the private hot tub.

Location:
This townhome has one of the best locations within the development, and the development's location is pretty great on its own. Many of the townhomes in River Run feel surrounded by other townhomes. Not this one! When you stay here, you might have neighbors on one side or another, but with the Blue River literally in your backyard, this townhome feels, and sounds, like a riverside retreat in the mountains. When you walk out the back door, not only do you have the Blue River, but you will also find a sidewalk that connects directly to the Blue River Trail and the Silverthorne Bike Path. Follow it upstream along the Blue River and eventually it leads all the way to the Silverthorne Outlets, the Lake Dillon reservoir, and beyond. Head out the front door, then to the right on Legend Lake Circle and you'll find another sidewalk trail that follows the Blue River downstream past Legend Lake and on to North Pond Park, which is pictured in this listing.

Not only is this location really great for walking, strolling, or biking in spring, summer, and fall, but it has great transit year round. The Summit Stage free bus picks up and drops off about 100 meters from your front door at the Blue River Run stop. The Summit Stage allows you to ride the free bus from this property to various parts of Silverthorne, Dillon, Frisco, and to the ski resorts of Breckenridge, Keystone, or Copper Mountain. Of course, driving from here to any of these places is quick and easy as well.

Arrival, Access, and Parking:
Once you book, we're here to support you. We offer professional concierge services, provide you with arrival instructions, and answers to any specific questions you might have. Accessing this property requires one step, to enter from the front door or garage. Bedroom 3 is ground level with no step required from the garage, but the main living level is one floor up and bedrooms 1 and 2 are upstairs from there. Parking is reserved and guaranteed for at least 2 vehicles. The garage has been converted to a game room and mud room / equipment storage room, so it is not available for parking. You can bring skis, boards, bikes and such into the garage, but you'll park your cars immediately in front of the 2 car garage. The development does have additional overflow parking spaces that are shared, including several spaces right out front and several spaces right next to the building. Please note, trailers are not allowed, per HOA guidelines. If you plan to have a trailer, you will need to make arrangements to store it offsite. Please contact us with questions or resources related to offsite parking options.

As such, all amenities can not be guaranteed to be available at all times. Please advise us when or before booking if you have questions about a specific property amenity so that we can give you the most accurate information possible for your dates.
** Air Conditioning - Most mountain resort properties were not built with air conditioning. During most hours of the day and weeks of the year, AC is not needed. Summer nights are cool and fans are provided at most properties. Check the average high and low temperatures and weather forecast for your dates of travel, and look at the list of amenities to see if AC or fans are part of the rental property and look for ceiling fans in photos.
** Group Sizes, High Occupancy Fees, & Maximum Occupancy - Some properties use a “High Occupancy Fee” to “raise the rate” for larger groups, and are thus able to list a lower nightly rate for smaller groups. Each rental agreement and associated rates are for a specific group size. Guests must enter the correct and maximum group size at the time of booking. The agreement requires a guest to confirm the group size and subsequently, to disclose any changes to the planned group size, which may result in an increase, or decrease, to the total cost, and may result in a security deposit becoming required.
** Video & Noise Monitoring - Please note that noise monitoring devices, and security cameras, do exist on the exterior of the property. Cameras are positioned to cover all entrances and exits of the home. Cameras are present to ensure the property remains secure and safe, as well as to ensure that guests are honest and upfront about their planned use of the property. If you plan to bring more people than you've indicated, more dogs than indicated, to host a party or event, or do not intend to respect neighbors or the value and quality of the property, then this is not the place for you, and you should not book the property. For normal, respectful groups, we are sorry that these statements and measures are necessary. Security cameras and noise monitoring devices are an example and demonstration that the property's owners are taking steps to ensure the home remains available for rental, and in good condition, for your benefit. Please let us know if you have any concerns.
** Cleaning Fees & Lengthy Rental Periods - The standard cleaning fee quoted as part of any booking is for the final cleaning, which is to be performed after the rental period has ended. For guests who are booking a lengthy stay of more than one week, a mid stay-cleaning fee equal to the final cleaning fee may apply for the second week, third week, and so on. If you are booking for a lengthy stay, please contact us before booking online to discuss your group, your dates, the rates, the cleaning schedule, etc.
