Tailor your vacation to suit your desire.

Each vacation has a different set of needs and preferred amenities.  The simplest way to plan is with the help of a vacation rental professional.  Use their knowledge and expertise to your advantage- they are happy to help!  Here are some things to consider before you call…

• What dates are you booking?  Do you need to book well ahead of time? (Yes! If you’re skiing during peak ski season.)  Book your landing and take off times at Denver airport between 9:30 AM and 8:30 PM to ensure you can use a mountain shuttle. Keep in mind it can take 2 1/2 hours to travel between DNV and the high Rockies.
• What town suits you? Bustling Breckenridge, high end Aspen, economic Silverthorne, community minded Frisco, or quaint Copper Mountain?
  
• How will you get there safely?  May I suggest a Summit Express shuttle or private charter? Remember to book your departure well ahead because shuttles sell out in peak seasons.

• Where do you want to land between runs and meals?  A Ski-In Ski-Out condo close to downtown Breckenridge may suit your family vacation.  If you’re celebrating an anniversary take advantage of room service and a concierge at a hotel suite. Get away from it all in an air B&B.  Or, book something glam for your bachlorette weekend!

What to eat?
As the temperature warms up and snow fall turns to rain, we are left with our ever messy Mud Season. Mud Season is a time when things in our county slow down and make the transition to the summer months. The number of tourists goes way down and our hard working seasonal employees head back to their hometowns. For those of us who stay behind after the winter season leaves, we have some adjustments to make. So do guests coming in for the off season. One adjustment we all have to make is our food choices. Some restaurants close down completely and they do not re-open again until the busy winter months. Other restaurants take a well needed vacation for a while and come back to the summer months. For restaurant closings in Summit County head to The Locals Guide website for a detailed list of closures.
