Come fall in love with Silverton while staying at this lovingly cared for piece of history. Built in 1907 this home has a great story and is truly a home away from home. Silverton Hillside Cottage is the perfect place to get away and relax. From sitting on the deck in the large and lush yard to relaxing with a book by the pellet stove or escaping reality in the original claw foot tub you will be glad you chose to stay at our home. Please note we are not on OHV route, more info below.

With 3 bedrooms, a sun-room with futon and a pull out sofa in the living room this home can sleep up to 9 guests very comfortably.

Upstairs the private master bedroom is very roomy with a brand new queen pillow top mattress, down duvet and comfy 400 thread count sheets. Featuring a skylight and large windows with breathtaking views this room is spectacular. There is a pack in play for infants if needed.

The second private upstairs bedroom is a true mountain getaway with it’s floor to ceiling mountain mural. The room features a brand new queen pillow top mattress, down duvet and 400 thread count sheets. Views of the hillside to Anvil mountain are super relaxing.

You will find a bathroom with shower upstairs as well as a small work area with antique desk.

Downstairs you will find the third private bedroom with a twin bed featuring a brand new comfy mattress and down comforter with silky sateen sheets. Probably one of the most unique features of the home is found here. This room is wallpapered with historic newsprint from the Silverton Standard dating back to the 1980s.

The large downstairs bathroom features the original claw foot tub and shower.

You will find the kitchen to be fully equipped with everything you need to whip up a meal. Appliances include a gas range, full-size refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, toaster oven, crock pot and blender. The view from the kitchen window is enough to make you want to cook while on vacation, lol.

In the dining room the large farm house table and benches can seat up to 8 or 9. The bay window has outstanding mountain views to help you relax. There is also a pellet stove to keep things nice and toasty on those cold winter days or summer nights.

Is a house really complete without coffee?? We have a full coffee bar set up with a standard drip coffee pot as well as a Keurig. Kcups, coffee and hot chocolate are included with your stay.

In the living room you will find a 46” SMART TV with Netflix and more available as well as a DVD/blue ray player and Wi-Fi. You will find family games in the drawers under the TV and movies to enjoy under the coffee table. The views from this room just like everywhere else are remarkable. All of the furniture is brand new and comfortable to relax in after a long day of jeep trails, train rides or just discovering Silverton and the surrounding area. The couch features a pull out queen bed with upgraded mattress.

In the back of the home you will find a relaxing sun-room that accesses the back deck and has ample areas to hang your coats, take off your shoes, etc. As well, the futon in this room turns into a comfortable full bed.

There is also a full-size washer and dryer available for use.

Although the house is awesome and very cozy, the home is known for its out door area with a lush lawn, beautiful flowers, 360 views and wonderful solar gain. Enjoy your coffee or dinner on the large deck and just breath in that fresh Colorado air. You will find yourself spending as much time in the yard as in the house. You can literally walk out the back gate from the house up to the Miners Shrine or it's only a 5-minute walk to historic downtown Silverton.

Come see for yourself. We would love to have you as a guest.

Powder Perfect Paradise
Silverton Hillside Cottage was a perfect accommodation for our father / 2 adult sons ski trip. Beautifully decorated quaint cottage but with all the modern conveniences. The thread count on the sheets must have been like one million. Clean, comfortable beds, kitchen was stocked with olive oil, ketchup, honey, coffee, all the spices, etc. Quiet setting, jaw dropping views. Short walk to main street. Property manager/owner Karen was responsive and accommodating of late check out when I tweaked my knee and needed a place to chill while sons skied. 100% we would go back again.

Silverton Snowden Cottage
We very much liked the location of the property in relation to the downtown area. It is about a 5 minute walk - the blocks are relatively short in Silverton. There is a park nearby with a great walking path. The home has most conveniences, and is in a very quiet area of town. The yard is fenced, but a smaller dog might slip through the front fence. We enjoyed our stay, and felt that the property is clean, and well maintained. As with most older homes, there are some older features along with the floor plan. The stairway to the upper story is narrow, and a bit creaky. Otherwise, we had a comfortable stay, and the location was convenient for dining, sightseeing, and walking about town. We were able to do and see a lot! The property manager was very prompt and responsive on the one question that we had.

Perfect Basecamp in Silverton
Spent only a short time here as we explored Silverton before heading into the Weminuche, but the property was excellent. Well appointed, comfortable, warm, & well layed out. Will definitely check for availability next time I come out to visit.

A nice place to stay
We enjoyed our stay in this cozy house. It had everything we could possibly need. It was clean and comfortable and in a quiet area. We had plenty of room for our pickup and trailer to park. The fan in the bedroom upstairs was wonderful. We enjoyed reading about the history of the house and area in the book in the living room. The house had comfortable furnishings and plenty of light. It was everything as advertised. We would gladly stay here again when we are in the area.
