Frisco, Colorado Vacation Rentals & Lodging

Best Frisco CO Lodging Locations

Frisco is a small town surrounded by mountains on one side and Lake Dillon on the other. When it comes to selecting where you want to stay for your lodging in Frisco CO, there are really only 2 areas to consider, close to Main Street or close to Lake Dillon. Both have distinct advantages and keep in mind that everything in Frisco is pretty close to everything else so it's pretty easy to get around. Please see a full list of Summit County Activities for the entire area here.  

Main Street

Sitting under Mount Royal and Mount Victoria is Frisco's Main Street, often referred to as "Main Street of the Rockies" for it's character and charm. The biggest advantage to choosing a vacation rental here is the proximity to all of the shops and restaurants along Main Street. 

Restaurants and Nightlife

Main Street is full of bars and restaurants for your dining and entertainment pleasure. You really can't go wrong on Main Street as everything is good. A sampling of our favorites would be Butterhorn Bakery for breakfast and lunch, Ollie's Pub & Grub (sports bar), Peppino's Pizza & Subs, Eclectic (burgers, pizza and sandwiches), Bagalis (Italian) and Greco's Pastaria for lunch and dinner.

For a more upscale dinner experience, try Vinny's, Silverheels or 5th Avenue Grille.

When you're ready for a good time, check out The Moose Jaw (dive bar), Ein Prosit (German beer hall) or Highside Brewing. For live music, Ten Mile Music Hall has live bands (with some big names) coming through Frisco on a regular basis. Frisco also offers a free Thursday night Concerts in the Historic Park series in the summer and speaking of the Frisco Historic Park & Museum, check out historic town cabins and the Schoolhouse Museum right in downtown Frisco.

Winter Activities

It's easy to get out and play in the snow without going to a ski resort. Close to Main Street there are opportunities for backcountry skiing (please know where you're going, make sure you can handle the physical demands and have the proper gear - avalanche beacon, probe and shovel), nordic skiing and snowshoeing. On the west end of Main is the North Ten Mile Creek Trail and to the south of town there are multiple trails going into the Ten Mile Mountain Range including Peaks Trail, Rainbow Lake Trail and Mount Royal Trail. It's possible to walk (or ski) from some of our Frisco vacation rentals to some backcountry trailheads.

Summer Activites

The winter trails discussed above turn into summer trails when it warms up and the snow melts. Most of the listed trails are better known for hiking in the summer with the exception of the Peaks Trail which is more of a mountain bike trail. Summit County maintains an extensive paved Recreational Path that runs down the south end Frisco and goes all the way around Lake Dillon with offshoot trails that go to Silverthorne, Keystone, Breckenridge, Copper Mountain and even Vail. If you're into fishing, Ten Mile Creek Fishing is excellent and the creek runs right through town. 

Shopping

Frisco is a shopper's dream. Frisco Shopping for tourist items will be best along Main Street. For souvenirs check out Frisco Trading Post and Frisco Emporium. For clothing try Rivers Clothing Company, Colisco Wearables and The Flying Crane. For ski and bike rentals,  apparel and gear head to Rebel Sports.

Lake Dillon 

Built in the early 1960's, Lake Dillon is a reservoir that supplies water to the Denver area and doubles as a picture perfect recreation spot for Frisco. The biggest advantage to choosing a vacation rental here is the proximity to outdoor recreation options. 

Frisco Adventure Park

The Frisco Adventure Park has a lot of great options going on within it. For winter activities, it has the Frisco Nordic Center offering 30 km of nordic ski trails and 8 km of snowshoe trails. Snow Schoolers is a ski school giving beginner ski lessons in a smaller setting. The Frisco Adventure Park Tubing Hill sits next to the nordic center and ski school offering a groomed tubing hill with a moving sidewalk to carry you up the hill.  The Frisco sledding hill is a free option across from the Tubing Hill where you can bring your own sled and slide down/walk back up.

In the summer, the Adventure Park is the gateway to about 50 km of mountain bike trails on the Frisco Peninsula Recreation Area, plus it has a bike park, skate park and baseball fields nearby. 

Frisco Marina

The Frisco Marina also has a lot of great options going on within it. First, it's a traditional marina with boat, kayak, canoe, SUP board and pedal boat rentals. There is also a boat launch, boat repair service and seasonal slip rentals, making it easy to get out on the water and enjoy Lake Dillon in different ways. Second, if you're looking to hang out somewhere on a warm summer day, the marina has a 300 foot sand beach along the waterside, playground for the kids and large grassy area known as the "Lighthouse Lawn" great for picnics and lawn games. Third, it has The Island Grill, a restaurant and bar open for the summer serving burgers and sandwiches close to the shore. 

Other Activities

In the winter, Ice Skating is available at Meadow Creek Pond behind Walmart. Nordic skiing is possible around the perimeter of the lake.

In the summer, Lily Pad Lake Trail is a popular hike from the Meadow Creek Trailhead. Road biking is possible on that same rec path that runs along the lake, behind Main Street and all over Summit County. And Good fishing spots can be found all around Lake Dillon.

Restaurants & Nightlife

The Lake Dillon area of Frisco doesn't have the options of Main Street but there are some really good places you don't want to miss. Hacienda Real is between Safeway and Walmart and Outer Range Brewing is behind Safeway next to Whole Foods.  Try Two Below Zero Dinner Sleigh Rides on the Frisco Peninsula for a different kind of dining experience.
