The property was in great shape and everything was as advertised. The bedrooms were huge and the master was amazing. We had no problems with anything and would definitely recommend this property to anyone.

Owner response:Good that you were able to enjoy some time on the slopes and then relax at Two Mile High Retreat.

Our family celebrated Christmas in Colorado--the house was all we hoped it would be. The large kitchen accommodated our many family meals, the bedrooms allowed for plenty of space for everyone, the house was clean, beds and linens wonderful, TV and DVD great for watching Christmas movies, and the fireplace was warm and inviting. The view from the living room--priceless! Alan and Linda were most helpful through the whole process--thank you!

Owner response:We are glad your family could enjoy Christmas together in Colorado.

It was glorious! We loved the house and the location. It was breathtaking! Yep, the difference in weather is astounding! We arrived back in Jacksonville, Florida to a hot, hot day of 95 and high humidity. It was a perfect week. Your house is extraordinary with all the amenities. You thought of every luxury to the house. In the 15 years that we have been renting vacation homes around the world, your home was the best of all. You thought of everything and it was so appreciated. Not to mention, you were wonderful to work with.

Owner response:Linda and I are glad you enjoyed your stay and that you arrived home safely.

It was amazing on several levels: - beautiful house and view - hot tub, fireplace, and pool table - and Alan (the owner) was very helpful in coordinating lift tickets, a rental Suburban several $100 less than I could find anywhere, and in-home rental equipment fittings We will be back! This is amazing. I cannot give his impeccable level of service justice here

Owner response:We are glad you enjoyed your stay and that we could help you save a few dollars.

The Perfect Wedding

Guest: Vince (Houston, TX)
Date of Stay: 09/16/10 Review Submitted: 10/01/10

In mid-September 2010, my daughter was married at Two Mile High Retreat. It was a beautiful ceremony accented in the perfect backdrop. The wedding was held outside next to the pond. The mountains with the Aspens in their full Fall yellow were in the background. I can't say enough superlatives about this location. The furnishings are excellent. The house is in perfect condition. And if there is even the smallest problem or question, the owner was always easly reachable. I recommend Two mile retreat.

Owner response:We are glad to have assisted in making the wedding a memorable event. Thankfully, everything came together as planned including a perfect Colorado day.

Our experience at the Two Mile High Retreat was fantastic! The home is open, airy, very well appointed with quality-everything! Everyone in our party was impressed with the home and it's beautiful grounds. Alan (the home owner) was so easy and pleasant to work with when arranging to rent the home, he really made sure that we felt comfortable and were happy!

I just wanted to tell anyone considering staying at this property, that you can't go wrong!! Not only is the home...BEAUTIFUL, it is close to town...any of them....Breckenridge, Frisco, Copper Mountain. They have plenty of space at the house to play outside in the snow, or stay in and enjoy a game of pool or relax in the hot tub. We stayed there in March of 2010...major snow!!! So Beautiful! And the owner's of the home are very nice! Thanks so much for letting us stay in your beautiful home....we will be back! Thanks again, Joni

Owner response:We are glad you enjoyed your stay.

We had a family reunion here in July of 2009. Absolutely loved this place. The views were spectacular. The owners were very easy to work with and answered every question we had. The house was in perfect condition. It was a high end home at a very good price. Would recommend to anyone.

It is with such a heavy heart that I write this GLOWING review about our time at the two mile high retreat. We surprised my husband for his 50th birthday with a family reunion at the house. We had family from as far away as Washington State come in for the surprise. We had a beautiful weekend with fantastic food and great fall weather. We took tons of pictures and enjoyed EVERY bit of the house. I think that the pool table was the one that the boys enjoyed the most because there was not a time the entire weekend that someone was not playing a game! My husband had a wonderful time with everyone and his favorite moments were out by the lakes. Spending time together was so precious for us all. My husband passed away suddenly only a few weeks later and I cannot tell you what that time together has meant to us all. It is such a special place to share time together. I feel blessed to have had the chance to be together in such a beautiful place.

Thank you so much for allowing us to use your beautiful home. My two girls Melanie and Lauren and their husbands John & David from Golden purchased this weekend for us. John and I (Joanne) are from Crawfordsville, Indiana. This was a gift for my 60th birthday celebration. I couldn’t have had a more enjoyable weekend anywhere else. Between the scenery and the company we had a wonderful time. Looking forward to doing this again someday.

OMG I couldn’t have asked for a better 40th B-Day weekend! My wonderful husband planned for both sides of our family to gather at this lovely home to celebrate my birthday. I couldn’t have asked for anything better! There were 18 of us ranging in age from 3 to 63. There was more laughter, giggles and cuddles shared in your home than you could ever imagine. The sounds and the smells took me back to my childhood at the farm when families would gather for holiday….sigh…how I miss those times. What a treasure this will always be for me and my family. Your home is incredible, the view is incredible, and our time was incredible! Thank you, thank you for sharing this blessed place with us and we wish many blessings to you in return. They say you only turn twenty oops I mean forty. Ha, ha, ha once, and it’s a good thing, this can’t be topped. I close this as family packs and clears out. The time has ended but our memories will last forever! One last thank you!

Beautiful home in a gorgeous setting. We loved the view of the mountains out the windows and the sound of the creeks near the house. The house was very well equipped and spacious. Kitchen, bathrooms, and laundry room were stocked with spices, soaps, etc. plus all the kitchen cookware/utensils needed to cook at home. It was an easy drive to Breckenridge where there are ample shops, horseback riding, and a variety of restaurants. It was also an easy drive to Frisco for a chuckwagon dinner and west to Vail for an offroad tour.

VRBO Bear Visit and Review

Guest: Hawley (VRBO Bear)
Date of Stay: 08/14/09 Review Submitted: 01/17/10

8/17/2009 - The Two Mile High Retreat was the perfect Blue River getaway for this Bear and his family. This 5 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom house was simply spectacular. The breathtaking views of Quandary Park through the large living room windows were the very first thing we noticed when walking into the house. After settling in, we decided to bake some cookies. The Two Mile High Retreat kitchen was very spacious and well-stocked. It was great having 2 ovens to bake our cookies and with the luxury of extra cooking space, we baked them in half the time as it took at home. The upstairs master bedroom was very roomy and featured a nice sitting area and a double-sided fireplace. One fireplace side faced the master bedroom’s sitting area while the other side was above the Jacuzzi tub in the master bathroom. I chose to relax on the comfy couch next to the fireplace while reading a book and unwinding from a hectic day. For those bears needing to do a little work while on vacation, the master bedroom had an adjoining office. The home was very accommodating for the typical bear family. On the main floor, there was a second master bedroom with a full bathroom. The other 3 bedrooms were found upstairs. Two of the rooms included king sized beds and the third bedroom had a bunk bed with twin on top and queen on the bottom, in addition to a queen sized trundle bed. In the evenings, we enjoyed playing a game of pool in the home’s loft area. Afterwards, we headed out back to the hot tub, where we sat back and relaxed to the sounds of nature and the sights of beautiful star-filled skies. There were 2 fishing ponds adjacent to the house where we did a little fishing. For those lucky enough to catch some fish, there was a gas grill on the patio where one can grill the catch of the day. There are a variety of activities to do around the Two Mile High Retreat including hiking, biking, fishing, picnicking, horseback riding, skiing, and tubing. Breckenridge is just a short drive down the road where you can ski, shop, and find many places to dine. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Two Mile High Retreat. It was a very relaxing and peaceful place to unwind during our vacation. Plus, it was a great base for exploring the surrounding Breckenridge area. The VRBO Bear

Two Mile High Retreat was perfect for our family to spend time together. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The veiw of Quandary Peak inspired me to hike it. Being that TMHR is located very close to the trail head, I was able to get an early start and be back before noon. The drive up Blue Lakes Rd. provided a great oppertunity to see mountain goats and even see a coyote. We would love to spend more time at TMHR and will come back when in the area.
