Steamboat
Epic! That word is spoken enthusiastically on powder days in Steamboat. My backcountry companions say it often; we can be a bit smug about our tele excursions into unofficial terrain like Way Right, Drunken Indian, Storm King and North Woods. But the truth is, Back in the Day, Loris and Buddy Werner and their friends had truly epic ski adventures. In the 1950s, they’d drive up Rabbit Ears to the top of Hogan Park Trail… before it was a marked Forest Service route. They’d put skins over their alpine skis and break trail all the way to what is now Morningside. That’s seven miles. Once there, they’d build a snow cave, light a fire and settle in for the night.

THE VICTORIAN<br />
LUXURY B&B<br />
Come experience the hospitality and history of a <strong>Steamboat</strong> Springs<br />
landmark that travelled 650 miles from Kansas to land on the slopes of<br />
Mt. Werner!<br />
A distinctive property, The Victorian Bed & Breakfast sits above the ski<br />
base area under the <strong>Steamboat</strong> Gondola and has an interesting and unique<br />
story to tell its guests...<br />
Built in 1880 in Lyons, Kansas, the original house was dismantled with a<br />
chainsaw, cut into five pieces and moved to <strong>Steamboat</strong> Springs in 1991.<br />
It was rebuilt as a ski-town lodge and was completely restored in<br />
2007 to provide modern amenities and finishings while preserving its<br />
Victorian charm.<br />
The Victorian operates as a luxury bed & breakfast, serving gourmet<br />
breakfasts and après ski appetizers.<br />
With easy shuttle access to the ski trails, the expansive property features<br />
five suites: two kings and three queens.<br />
The master suite features an elegant bathroom with a large claw foot tub,<br />
walk-in closet and fireplace in the bedroom.<br />
The top floor is available in its entirety, with its snug library/sitting<br />
room, two bedrooms, two bathrooms and video games room. Two of the<br />
bedrooms include en-suite sitting rooms.<br />
On the main floor, the living room exudes a homey warmth with a cozy<br />
fireplace and a window sitting area that gives a novel view of the gondola<br />
cars passing—a comfortable place to relax with a complimentary glass of<br />
wine from our exclusive Australian vineyard and appetizers after a day on<br />
the slopes.<br />
The lower level offers a place to play a game of pool, and a home theater<br />
room with comfy couch and recliners provides movie entertainment on a<br />
nightly basis. Completing the facilities, a wet bar is available for guests to use.<br />
A large deck at the back of the house supplies an area with an outstanding<br />
view of the Yampa valley for après ski on sunny spring afternoons. A sixperson<br />
hot tub allows guests the ultimate in relaxation.<br />
The large dining room seats ten people and for a more intimate experience,<br />
a cozy breakfast nook offers a valley view for four or more guests.<br />
The Victorian craftsmanship that makes this home unique is evident with<br />
its original molding, beautifully carved oak staircase, and original stained<br />
glass windows.<br />
This distinctive <strong>Steamboat</strong> property combines Victorian charm with<br />
modern comforts.<br />
