Best date night restaurant in Summit

November 2, 2018 by Kevin W

Best Date Night:

I wish I had more experience to help everyone out with this one but the couple’s of Summit County might tell you it’s the Hearthstone. Why? Well, even in the slowest of seasons the Hearthstone always has a wait. But read any of the online reviews, the wait is well worth it.
Beyond just the sheer beauty of the actual building going inside only gets better! This is an extremely classy establishment with a very skilled staff. So take your special someone out for a night of food and fun to remember.
Eclectic mix of all types of food. A great menu for all.

Local Tip: After the food is done take a short walk down to Main Street and enjoy the rest of the night enjoying beautiful views and great drinks.

The Hearthstone in Winter

The hearthstone also was chosen by the locals of Summit as the top 3 places for a date night as well. My personal opinion was not too far off 🙂 Check out Summit’s Best of 2018 for ALL the locals favorite spots.

Keep the hearthstone in the back of your mind if you have winter plans this year and are in Breckenridge with a loved one.

sTrolling around Breck

Looking for a quick hike with some beautiful Mountain View’s and maybe even . . . a life size troll? Well then, we have just the hike for you. Get your family and friends together and go sTrolling around Breckenridge and head towards the ~~Wellington Trail~~. With a little luck you just might find Isak Heartstone, the friendly neighborhood troll.

Attention: Isak has been moved to the trails surrounding the Ice Arena, find Isak in his new home there! Get directions from gobreck.com.

Isak Heartstone was built for the Breckenridge International Festival of Arts, which lasts for 9 days in locations all over Breck. There is still two days left for the actual festival but Isak Heartstone is here to stay. . . at least for a few years. Check out the link above for more information about the artist and his inspiration for creating Isak.

The troll has been a popular destination during the middle of the day so pick a good time to explore . If you wanted to get some photos while no one is around try going early in the morning or just before sunset for the most personable experience.

For easy access park at the Wellington Bike Park lot. From there the trail is just a few hundred feet from the parking lot. Start going up the dirt road and it is your first little trail on the left. From here it’s just a 10 minute walk up to where the troll hides. If the troll wasn’t enough be sure to keep hiking up the trail. These same trails will lead you to some old mines and much more.

Attention: Isak has been moved to the trails surrounding the Ice Arena, find Isak in his new home there! Get directions from gobreck.com.

Have fun out there and be sure to check out all the other amazing art installations built for the festival! If you need a ride to or from the Summit County make sure to give us a call at 970-668-6000
