Fun ski weekend with friends and family.

The home was as described and very comfortable. We were looking for ski in ski out and were a little apprehensive about using the bus to get to the slopes but it was very convenient and a non issue. The stop was literary 100 ft away and the bus was clean and on a tight reliable schedule. The hot tub was a pleasure after a long day on the hill. Our family stayed upstairs with a king bedroom and a bedroom with two twin beds adjoined by a jack and jill bath. Perfect for our two teens. We vacationed with another family that we are friends with. They used the main master for themselves and their baby and the pull out couch in the main living room for their 6 year old. Really liked the ability to bring our family dog on vacation too. All in all plenty of space and decor was very nice and the snow was perfect.

Our family of 6 adults, 3 children aged 7, 4 & 2 plus 1 happy dog enjoyed a 4 night stay. We found this home to be clean and well equipped. We especially appreciated the kitchen that allowed us to prepare nice family meals. The house is situated to allow for spectacular views, convenient for walking into town, trails & park & a very short trip to the gondola station. The hot tub was also very nice at the end of each day's activities. We had a wonderful time!

Perfect Christmas Vacation

I can't say enough about how perfect our experience was staying in this lovely mountain home. The home was beautiful, clean and very well stocked. We loved coming back to the house after a day of skiing and jumping in the hot tub. The owner very accurately represented the house and we couldn't have been more pleased. We even got lucky by being given a Christmas tree to decorated which was very much unexpected and it was just the perfect touch to our holiday! My family of five would highly recommend this home.

Hands down one of the better places in Breckenridge

Guest: Corey (Highlands Ranch)
Date of Stay: 12/02/11 Review Submitted: 12/22/11

I generally like to keep my reviews short, sweet, and to the point. This place had everything we could've asked for. The house was beautiful, clean, open....perfect. The master bedroom is first class. The upstairs bedrooms were perfect for the other two couples that joined us. Noreen was great to work with and everything was as advertised. The only question mark was the "within walking distance to Main Street". There is a shuttle stop literally 10 steps from the front door, so that was perfect, but you then must rely on the shuttle to get you back home. Walking from Main Street to this property is a haul to say the least (and all uphill). Minus that, this property was nicer than some of the top tier hotels we've stayed at throughout the years. Our entire party of 6 highly recommend this property and will be contacting Noreen again for our next visit.

fall vacation

We loved staying at this comfortable mountain home! Fabulous views of the Rockies from all angles especially the large living room window which faces Peak 7 and 8. During our month stay we watched the mountains change from green to brilliant yellows to snow-covered peaks! The home has everything you would need. It was great to be able to have our two small dogs with us, too. It is located about 1/2 mile up the mountain from downtown Breckenridge, which we liked for just a bit more quiet feel. The owner is most helpful and hospitable for any need or question you may have. A great place to stay!

My husband and I had a lovely time . We were able to have our dog with us which made it even better. The house was well furnished and comfortable. Noreen was available for any questions. It was nice to walk to town with Sophie and sit in the park/cafes or head to the dog park. Hope to get back soon.

Avoid this property if you value peace and quiet

Guest: BG (Denver, CO)
Date of Stay: 11/05/10 Review Submitted: 12/28/10

The property has a private apartment on the upper level. When we stipulated to the owners/managers that we reserved the right to cancel the contract should that apt be in use during our weekend, we were told there would be no issues. Then, late into the evening on our first night, a couple checked into the apt a bellowed "HELLO" at a shared door. They continued banging around the apt for a couple of hours, including over the master bedroom. This continued on the second night as well. When we e-mailed the owners/managers to seek an answer, they simply ignored us. THIS WAS A LOUSY WEEKEND IN THE MOUNTAINS!!!

Owner response:I am saddend by this review as we have not had a bad review in the past 3 years of renting. Please note the other 12 positive reviews this property has received. It is very important to us that our guests feel pampered and have a spectacular vacation while they vacation here is Breckenridge. Be assured that we are attentive to your needs during your stay and will do our best to resolve any issues you have expeditiously. The apartment was not rented while this couple was staying at the Breckenridge Bungalow. It was under repair for a plumbing issue that i told them about before their arrival. I did respond to their phone call and assured them that the work was only being done during the day. I also offered them a free night to compensate for any construction noise they experienced during the day.

We just stayed in this house over the weekend. There were 8 of us total and we were there 2 nights. We wanted a house where we could relax and hang out and we didn't venture onto Main St. The property is actually a duplex, but there wasn't anyone living in the other side of the house and the doors to the home are separate from one another so it doesn't feel so shared. The kitchen and grill are very nice, and it's complete with all utensils and whatever you'd need. The living space is very comfortable and the big window provides a great view of the mountains and outdoors. Instead of a big dining room table, there is a pool table with a ping pong table you can put on it. It's covered and there are dining chairs you can use around it, but it wouldn't work for formal dinners. It's a beautifully decorated home with great amenities like a jetted tub, big showers, french doors from the master, and a big flat screen with DVD (and movies) in the master. I would say that it sleeps 6 in beds, and beyond that people are on the couch. There isn't a hot tub, which would've been a great addition. We brought our 2 dogs that we travel with which wasn't a problem. It was nice having the walk out from the master so we could take them out in the night without having to bother anyone. There is a lot of places to walk the dogs and they really enjoyed it. It's a great house for those who want something to do on the property because we played pool and ping pong the whole time. People who are there for celebrations, girls or guys weekends, and smaller parties would really enjoy the property. It was easy getting the contract, keys, info, and the they were very helpful and responsive. We would stay here again and would recommend others to stay as well.

Spring Break Vacation

This vacation was our first time renting through VRBO. At first, I was quite nervous about renting this way. Would it work out ok? Would the property look like the pictures? As it turned out, it could not have been better. The property was exactly as Noreen and Scott represented it. It is a beautiful home. The kitchen and the living area are the perfect size for entertaining a large family. In the morning, you are greeted by a gorgeous view of the sun shining on the mountain through the huge window in the living area. The view helps you get your ski equipment together quickly, and walk all of 100 yards to the free bus stop. We had 3 adults and 4 children (ages 9 – 13) on the trip and the bus was easy transportation to the slopes. In the evening, we drove the very short distance to Main Street. If it were summer, we probably would have walked or ridden bikes. Overall, it was a great trip. The home is a perfect accommodation for a large family and Breckenridge is the perfect destination.
