The Porches
The Porches is a cluster of high end vacation homes that are just exquisite. The exteriors of these Colorado mountain homes have a beautiful western feel and blend well with the surroundings. The houses are very spacious and have been delightfully crafted with clever design and quality furnishings. As the name would suggest, each house features a relaxing porch where views of the mountains and valley can be enjoyed.
Where is The Porches?
The Porches neighbourhood is located just a little down from the
Steamboat ski resort, about 0.7 miles from the base area at Gondola Square (a 2-3 minute drive). Downtown
Steamboat Springs is 2.8 miles away (8 minute drive). The peaceful locale is away from the hustle of the ski resort base and the town, yet it’s close enough to allow easy access.
The Porches provide regular shuttle services between the ski resort and your house, and on-demand shuttles to get you anywhere around Steamboat Springs. Or if you have your own car, it’s pretty easy to drive into town because parking is not an issue.
