New Summit Inn
32-Key Independent Hotel in the Heart of Colorado Ski Country — Frisco, Summit County
Marketing description
Prime Investment Properties is pleased to present the New Summit Inn, a 32-key independent hotel offering rare ownership in the supply-constrained, four-season resort market of Frisco, Colorado. Positioned at the geographic center of Summit County and directly on the I-70 corridor roughly 90 minutes west of Denver, the property captures diversified lodging demand from a county tourism economy that generated approximately $1.16 billion in visitor spending in 2024 — without dependence on any single resort's performance.
The three-story, 32-room asset sits on 0.60 acres with interior corridors, surface parking, and classic mountain-lodge character at 9,000 feet of elevation. Its location is the core of the investment thesis: six world-class ski areas lie within roughly 30 minutes — Copper Mountain, Breckenridge, Keystone, Loveland, Arapahoe Basin, and Vail — and the property is served by the free Summit Stage transit line, allowing car-free guest access to the major resorts. Because Frisco serves both Epic and Ikon pass networks, ownership here is underwritten on regional demand depth rather than a single mountain's snowfall.
Frisco's genuine four-season profile insulates cash flow from the seasonality that constrains most ski-market hotels. Beyond one of the longest ski seasons in North America, the town delivers a robust summer economy anchored by the Frisco Bay Marina on Dillon Reservoir, an extensive paved recreation-path network, the Frisco Peninsula trail system, gold-medal fishing on the Blue River, and a year-round calendar of town-produced events. Mid-week and shoulder-season demand is further reinforced by Frisco's role as the county's commercial and medical hub — home to St. Anthony Summit Hospital.
The New Summit Inn represents a compelling value-add opportunity for an operator seeking Colorado high-country hospitality exposure. For investors targeting a defensible, diversified, four-season resort asset, the New Summit Inn offers a rare entry point at the heart of one of Colorado's premier mountain destinations.
**The property is zoned Gateway District (GW) and that the zoning does allow for residential units, based on a conditional use permit which would need to be approved by the Planning Commission.
32-key independent hotel — plus manager's quarters - 17,859 SF across three stories on 0.60 acres, built 1989; reinforced-concrete construction offering an incoming owner full flexibility on brand affiliation, repositioning, and revenue management.
Irreplaceable location — situated in the heart of Frisco, the geographic hub of Summit County, roughly 90 minutes west of Denver and its three-million-resident drive-to feeder market.
Diversified six-resort demand — Copper Mountain, Breckenridge, Keystone, Loveland, Arapahoe Basin, and Vail all within 30 minutes, accessible car-free via the free Summit Stage bus system; serves both Epic and Ikon pass guests, eliminating single-resort risk.
Genuine four-season cash flow — winter multi-resort skiing, summer marina and trail demand, plus a year-round event calendar generating steady business across all shoulder seasons.
Top-tier tourism economy — Summit County ranks among Colorado's top three tourism markets, generating approximately $1.16 billion in visitor spending in 2024.
Structural supply scarcity — National Forest boundaries, the reservoir, and town growth controls leave a limited pipeline of new hotel development, protecting occupancy and rate integrity.
Value-add / long-term hold — diversified, defensible demand base delivering Colorado high-country hospitality exposure with potential for change of use.
Sprinklered building and new roof in 2021.
**The property is zoned Gateway District (GW) and that the zoning does allow for residential units, based on a conditional use permit which would need to be approved by the Planning Commission.

Investment highlights
The New Summit Inn is a 32-key independent hotel positioned at the center of Summit County — one of Colorado's most defensible four-season lodging markets, anchored by a $1.16 billion county tourism economy (2024). Sitting directly on the I-70 corridor, the property captures diversified demand without exposure to any single resort.
Six Resorts, No Single-Resort Risk. Frisco is the hub of six world-class ski areas within ~30 minutes — Copper Mountain, Breckenridge, Keystone, Loveland, Arapahoe Basin, and Vail — serving both Epic and Ikon pass holders. The free Summit Stage line enables car-free guest access to the major resorts, a built-in booking advantage.
True Four-Season Cash Flow. Beyond one of North America's longest ski seasons, Frisco delivers a strong summer engine: the Frisco Bay Marina on Dillon Reservoir, 55+ miles of paved bike path, the Peninsula trail system, gold-medal Blue River fishing, and a packed calendar of town events.
Durable Mid-Week Demand. As the county's commercial and medical hub (St. Anthony Summit Hospital), Frisco generates year-round transient, crew, and group demand rare for its size — plus I-70 stopover traffic.
Supply-Constrained, High-Barrier Market. National Forest boundaries, the reservoir, and growth controls limit new supply.
Property: 32 keys, three stories, 0.60 acres, surface parking, interior corridors, classic mountain-lodge character at 9,000 feet — strong Highway 9 / I-70 visibility and clear value-add upside in a market with high barriers to new competition.
