Tucked into the quiet mountain community of Silver Fork, Blanche’s Retreat offers a secluded setting, flexible sleeping arrangements, and direct access to hiking and snowshoeing—all within a few miles of Solitude and Brighton resorts.

Blanche’s Retreat is a spacious family cabin with multiple living areas, three full bathrooms, a well-equipped kitchen, and an abundance of separate beds. Its three-level layout works especially well for extended families, large groups, or two smaller families traveling together.

Important Winter Access Information

- Guests must arrive in a vehicle equipped with approved winter tires marked with the three-peak mountain snowflake symbol (3PMSF), or carry approved traction devices, as required by applicable canyon traction rules.
