Experience for yourself all the activities of a world class resort built around the best old-west ski town. Come visit Breckenridge, still lined with quaint Victorian homes and buildings, where yesterday’s gold boom is now replaced by wonderful restaurants, lots of shopping, all sorts of nightlife, and ski trails that run into the heart of town. So come play in Colorado’s renowned powder snow or get away to some beautiful alpine summer days.
Crystal Peak Lodge, recently completed in 2008, represents Breck’s most exquisite Ski-In/Ski-Out residences and it's ON the ski slopes at the base of Peak 7. This spectacular forested setting is a gateway to the tranquility of Peak 7, the hubbub of Peak 8, and the perfect mountain town below.
More specifically, Crystal Peak Lodge is nestled between the Independence SuperChair lift on one side (about 30 yards) and the BreckConnect gondola on the other side (less than 30 yards). Although above the town, the lodge is self-sufficient with an in-house ski/board rental shop, lift ticket office, day spa, fine dining at Sevens restaurant, and private ski lockers. To access the mountain, simply step out the backdoor to board Peak 7’s Independence SuperChair or jump on the gondola for a very short ride to Peak 8, with its variety of restaurants, the ski schools and the Rocky Mountain and Colorado SuperChair lifts. In the other direction, the gondola whisks you to historic Main Street in Breckenridge. From Crystal Peak Lodge you’re also on cross country ski and snowshoe trails (summer hike and mountain bike trails) that lead through Cucumber Gulch and other more remote areas of White River National Forest. Look out for the resident moose!
As you walk into Crystal Peak Lodge, heavy timbers, stone, wrought iron and lots of glass set the tone for this Five Star mountain retreat. Initially you’ll be struck by the grand staircase in the entry leading to a cathedral-like gathering room filled with cozy sofas and tables and overlooking the ski slopes through a wall of glass. Separated from this lounge by a massive fireplace is a game room with billiards and TVs. Next door is the state-of-the-art fitness facility with its stationary bikes, treadmills, a steam room and other fitness equipment all overlooking, through more picture windows, the huge heated outdoor patio with two large hot tubs and a fire pit on the ski slopes! For your convenience, the lodge also provides wireless high-speed internet and a 24 hour front desk.
Our particular unit is an elegant residence with a similar rugged, yet refined personality. It features heavy alder doors and trim work; multiple slab granite countertops and stone flooring in the entry, kitchen and baths; rustic cherry cabinetry; distressed wood and bent wrought iron furnishings; and a moss rock fireplace for your cozy evenings. You’ll love the gorgeous views from the balcony overlooking the town of Breckenridge, the Blue River valley and the Continental Divide. Also for your convenience, our condo includes an in-suite washer-dryer set; two huge bathroom suites; and over 1250 square feet of spacious living area with separate thermostats for each room. If you cook, or just like to entertain, you’ll love the fully equipped gourmet kitchen with its open design and the latest stainless steel appliances.
The master bedroom boasts a pillow-top king-size bed while the guest bedroom is furnished with a pillow-top queen bed. For your comfort, both bedrooms provide a humidifier, a fan, a goose-down comforter and goose-down pillows (as well as man-made pillows and extra blankets). Both bedrooms are also equipped with a flat screen TV with DVD and satellite. The sofa-sleeper in the living area makes an exceptionally comfy second queen bed. The living area is completed with an entertainment center with a DVD player, satellite and CD stereo, and a large flat screen TV mounted above the moss rock fireplace hearth.
Although the location of this condo makes it easy to just leave your vehicle parked for days (if you even bring one), the free and private underground parking also makes it easy to use your vehicle. For added convenience, if you choose not to drive or take the gondola, a free and private shuttle picks up at the front door to take you around town. For further excursions, the Summit Stage, a free county wide bus system, has a hub adjacent to the lower gondola terminal near Main Street.
As our guests of Crystal Peak Lodge, the facilities of our sister lodges are also free for your use. At One Ski Hill Place, just 500 yards by gondola or walking, enjoy the indoor pool complex with a dry sauna, the theater rooms or the mine shaft bowling alley; or for a more outdoor experience, Mountain Thunder Lodge, at the bottom of the gondola, offers a year ‘round heated OUTDOOR swimming pool with adjacent hottubs and a heated pool house for an easy change of clothes. Imagine the fun of a snowball fight in a warm swimming pool, or just letting the snowflakes land on your nose as you relax in a hottub!
We love pets, but please, NOT in this condo. The entire complex is non-smoking.
To book the condo, please see our calendar and rates below, then email or simply call us. Although not necessary, a menu of housekeeping services is available upon request.
For another wonderful property that is a little less expensive, please see our Mountain Thunder Lodge condo listing at VRBO #80369. This site also contains many comments from our many previous guests (from North America, Europe and Australia).
Thank you. Your hosts,
David & Diana

Year Purchased: 2008
Why the Owner Chose Crystal Peak Lodge
This condo is special not only for its beauty and many amenities, but especially its location. It's tranquil setting on the slopes is wonderful in both winter and summer. Plus, there are SO many things to do around Breckenridge, and just out the door of the condo! Hiking, biking, crosscountry skiing, snowshoeing, trout fishing... the list goes on and on.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
We love relaxing in the coed steam room or the huge outdoor spas after a day of skiing/riding, then enjoying a nice meal at the on-site restuarant, Sevens. Guests at our condo may also enjoy free use of all the facilities of our sister lodges. At One Ski Hill Place, just 500 yards by gondola or walking, enjoy the indoor pool complex with a dry sauna, the theater rooms or the mine shaft bowling alley; or for a more outdoor experience, Mountain Thunder Lodge, at the bottom of the gondola, offers a year ‘round heated OUTDOOR swimming pool with adjacent hottubs and a heated pool house for an easy change of clothes.

We stayed at this condo for an extended weekend and couldn't be happier with our stay. The finishes throughout the condo are immaculate. Being in the construction industry, I have a finer appreciation for these details and this condo did not disappoint. We arrived to find the condo very clean as well. The condo is situated near the gondola so you can access downtown Breckenridge with ease. We enjoyed the other amenities on site as well; hot tub and steam room. The owners recommendations for dining locations were spot on as well! Wonderful location, professional/ prompt/ organized owners! Thanks again David & Diana for allowing us to stay in your condo!
Owner response:Nick, We couldn't agree with you more. We feel lucky to own such a nice condo. Thank you for your kind words. -D&D

My children and I just returned from the most wonderful few days in Breckenridge. We loved your beautiful condo and the ease of its location. It was a huge part in making this such a special trip. I had the best time showing my children Colorado. As I told you, they have never seen the mountains. They were in awe with the beauty. Even the gondolas and ski lifts were all new and very exciting for them! We went white water rafting, horseback riding and visited the Family Fun park every day. I loved the city itself, so charming, great restaurants and the people are so warm and welcoming. Thank you for opening your beautiful condo to us. You may be hearing from us again next year, as Dad had to miss this trip and the kids are anxious to show him everything first hand!
Owner response:Thank you, Kara. We really enjoyed hosting you and your family.

This was our 2nd time staying here for 3 weeks, and we've already made our reservation to stay here next year. We don't often go back to the same place more than once, but staying here is our one exception. Very comfortable, well maintained, great location. David & Diana are a pleasure to work with. We can't wait till next year!
Owner response:T&G, We really enjoy being your hosts, and we're also looking forward to your stay next year. Thank you for the nice compliments. -D&D

This was my second time staying in David and Diana's unit at Crystal Peak. Their place remains meticulously maintained, and my guests were delighted with their accommodations, as well. This is a very deluxe ski condo, drive in, drive out, heated garage, easy access to Breck and skiing nearby. The Gondola to town is just outside the door. I loved it as much as I did the first time, and I plan to keep coming back. 5 stars.
Owner response:Thank you Colin. We look forward to hosting you again and hopefully seeing you again. -D&D

My family of 4 LOVED this condo. The location is perfect & makes all the difference in the ski experience. Dave was so helpful in getting us settled...and we booked last minute! Having the on site shuttle is so much better than trying to drive & park to go out. Highly recommend this property!
Owner response:Thank you for your nice comments. We're glad you enjoyed the condo so much. -David & Diana

Review Submitted: 01/22/11
My family of 4 worked out perfectly in the 2 bedroom 2 bath condo. We could not believe our eyes at how close the lift was to the lodge. The ski rental place is in the same building so when we returned our skies, boots and poles, we all walked in our socks back to the room. Its that easy. "Sevens" restaurant next door is pricey and not the best food, but will do in a pinch when your tired and dont want to go far. However, the town has so many food choices and it is so close, we ended up in town experiencing the great nightlife and food. We did use the "sister" facility at Peak 8 complete with bowling alley and indoor swimming pool. The only bad things, and I am being a bit picky, is the ability to get from Peak 8 back over to Peak 7. Breckenridge Ski resort did not plan this very well. The cat trails require a bit of poling. Yes, you can take the gondola, which is very easy by the way. However, Mom or Dad might have to carry the skies for the younger ones. All in all, it is a very nice place. We would like to return.
Owner response:Whit, We're glad you enjoyed your vacation and the condo so much, and thank you for the very frank feedback. You're certainly right about the town having many good choices of where to eat, but sorry to hear you didn't care for Sevens. It is a little pricy, as most resort restaurants tend to be, but it is definitely one of our favorites in town. Not only is it so convenient, but we love the food and the variety. (The menu changes seasonally.) Either way, glad you found other restaurants more to your liking, and we look forward to hearing from you again. Thanks, again. -D&D
