Frisco, CO Step back into time! Here you can tour eleven original 1880 buildings, including saloons, hotels, log homes, an original log chapel, and even a dairy cattle ranch house. Frisco, with a current population just under 2,800 full-time residents, remained a sleepy town until the ski industry brought a new boom era to Summit County. Now, some 3 million people visit the area each year. Find a wealth of information about this quaint town at www.townoffrisco.com. Restaurants
Blue Spruce Inn
Main Street, 20 Frisco, CO 80443
Phone: 970-668-5900 Built in the 1940's, the Blue Spruce Inn originally housed guest rooms on the upper level with a restaurant on the main level. It was moved to its present location on Main Street in the heart of downtown Frisco around 1974. Whether you want a more formal dining experience or a more casual one, you can find your fit here. We opted for a table in the "Saloon" instead of waiting for a table in the more formal dining section. We were not at all disappointed. The Saloon offers ample table seating--in a non-smoking environment, thanks to Colorado law--and offers the full menu. In other words, not just pub fare. The historic back bar (circa 1860) is impressive--QUITE impressive--as is its history. Ask your server to tell you how it was acquired. Our service from the front door to the table was courteous, friendly, and professional. As for our tastebuds, they were quite pleased. The spinach-stuffed mushrooms and the pecan chicken were excellent.

Frisco Lodge Main Street, 308
Frisco, CO 80443
Phone 970-668-5009 www.friscolodge.comOriginally built as a stagecoach stop in 1885, the Frisco Lodge is a unique bed and breakfast situated in the heart of downtown Frisco, within walking distance of dining and shopping. The lodge retains the ambience of a past era with its vintage decor and antiques. After a cold day on the ski slopes, we found the Lodge's afternoon refreshments, including hot cider, soup, crackers, and cheese, a delight in the warmth of the cozy living room. The outdoor hot tub is also especially nice after fighting wind, snow, and ski lift lines all day. A savory buffet breakfast greeted us the next morning. Our room was spit-spot clean with a charming Victorian theme. We enjoyed nestling in our room with our choice of complimentary movies. We would definitely stay here again. --Maggie and Frank Endris, Colorado (April, 2007) |
