Top 3 Cool & Unusual Hotels in Dillon

Explore the town in the valley! Being situated in the middle of Summit County, Dillon offers extraordinary convenience with so much to do and see within minutes drive. It also has slightly longer sunny days than Lake Dillon neighbor Frisco (because Frisco is on the western side of the valley, with a Ten Mile Mountain Range to its back).

From family ski trips and snowmobile tours, to a summer backpacking escapade, you’ll never run out of activities to do here. Dillon, Colorado offers a lot of options for travelers. At less than an hour and a half drive from the capital, it’s perfect for a weekend getaway, or single night to ski the early morning fresh powder. There are numerous vacation rentals and reliable hotels to choose from.

Probably the Best Hotel Accommodations in Dillon

Spring, summer, fall and winter visitors flock to Dillon because of its quick access and proximity to other county cities including: Silverthorne, Keystone, Breckenridge, Frisco and Copper Mountain. Three out of five of those towns feature ski resorts, alongside year round attractions. And Dillon features probably the most eye catching of all, the 5 square mile lake. While the beauty of Lake Dillon shines all year, it really comes to life in the summer. Rent a boat to explore the hidden coves of this giant reservoir. Fish for catfish and trout.

For a cerebral buzz, consider one of the Summit Historical Society’s unique tours and events, mainly during summer. It provides a real look into the past and present life of Summit County. Pig out in the many solid restaurants in town, including the Dam Brewery, which claims the status as the largest brewpub in the Rockies. So, if you’re ready to pack your bags and discover this historic town, here are some of the best accommodations for you.
