New Summit Inn

Investment Overview

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.
