If you are looking for a place that allows you to get close to nature while being close to the action - you have found it! . Escape and enjoy the many diverse activities the mountains can offer and come home to a peaceful and spacious setting where your family can relax and renew at the end of your exciting day.
This quiet and cozy home is tucked back in the trees at the base of Mount Bross, one of Colorado's famous 14’ers. Located on the outskirts of fun and funky Alma, our home allows easy access to all the area's fun. Park County has a wealth of hiking, biking, shopping and more while Breckenridge and all Summit County has to offer is just a few minutes away. Although the setting is secluded the house is just one mile off the highway (no long offroad drives!) situated on 10 private acres.
Our mountainside charmer is a comfortable, warm and tastefully decorated spacious three bedroom, two bathroom home that you will want to call your home away from home! A large fully equipped country kitchen and dining area will allow for family meals if you decide to eat in. The comfortable living room with a stone fireplace offers a quiet place to reflect on the day's activities. In addition, a cozy family room with a gas fireplace and entertainment center gives a place for the family to gather.
There are two downstairs bedrooms. The “bears den” bunk room sleeps four in double bunks while a second bedroom with queen bed sleeps two. The dramatic master bedroom provides a rustic get-away. Large windows bring the wildlife into view as moose, deer and the resident fox make their way across the property. A large deck overlooks the scenic valley and the Continental Divide, a great place to enjoy the peacefulness at any time of day.
The house is set on 10 acres backing up to miles of undeveloped land. In the summer we highly recommend scenic hiking into the high country where you can explore the mining era that made this area famous, the amazing wild flower meadows and the pristine peaks of Central Colorado. In the winter, enjoy alpine skiing, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling and more. Breckenridge is just 16 miles away and three other mountains are within easy reach!

Secluded Mountain Home - 20 Minutes to Breckenridge! Hot Tub!
Bristlecone Pine Scenic Area is located atop Windy Ridge which is hikable from the house. The winds from which the ridge gets its name have caused the trees to take on a tilted appearance. Good views of South Park are also available from this ridge. Artists and photographers find the Scenic Area to provide excellent opportunities.
Fantastic fishing and hiking spot with falls that lead to the reservoir and the Montgomery Mill ruins to explore
An easy and scenic hike behind the house takes you to the Dolly Varden Gulch

Relaxing getaway!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cabin. We wanted a place close to the mountains and secluded but still close to towns, shops and activities. This was it!! Our stay was very relaxing as what was our goal. The cabin was very nicely decorated, very clean and included everything the ad stated. We would definately recommend to others.

Our family of four (2 adults + 2 teenagers) stayed here in early August and had a great time. The house was roomy and comfortable - nicely furnished and well kept/well equipped (we ended up "eating in" for most of our evening meals). House was conveniently located - good hikes and excellent fly fishing nearby, and Breckenridge was a pretty easy drive. It felt secluded, but the main road was only a few minutes away. We would definitely recommend this house!

We spent a week here in June and can't recommend it enough--wonderful accommodations, beautiful scenery, and very private while being a very short drive from town. The description doesn't do it justice--absolutely perfect! If there's something better than soaking in the hot tub while listening to the aspens after a long day of hiking, I don't know what it is. Thanks again!

We really enjoyed staying in your mountainside home. It was a nice place to stay when you want to conquer a few 14er’s! We walked out the door and were on the summit of Mt Bross within a few hours. The hot tub helped sooth our tired feet and the view while soaking can’t be beat. We highly recommend this rental. The description doesn’t do it justice. The kitchen had everything we could ask for when we cooked in and your recommendations for restaurants were great. Loved the South Park Saloon!!! We hope to stay with you again soon!

We had a wonderful week over the New Years staying at this home. We comfortably fit 8 people, everyone had enough room to play, eat, rest, watch tv, etc. The location is ideal for doing all the “S’s”, skiing, snowmobiling, skating and snowshoeing! We would highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a relaxing, comfortable place to stay with lots of charm. We hope to make it back out there this summer!

This house was the perfect getaway for a group of old college girlfriends getting together for a weekend away. A great private escape and still easy to get to Breck and all the fun it has to offer. Great open floor plan with a really functional kitchen. Comfortable beds! And the views are top notch! We even saw moose in the driveway! The owners were a pleasure to work with and just made it all so easy! We will be back for our next weekend reunion in 2011! Thank you so much!!!!

Great Home Away from Home

We had the pleasure of spending a week in this beautiful home this summer. What a wonderful and very well maintained "home away from home!" Our family greatly enjoyed the lovely furnishings in the home and the property was breathtaking. Our boys spent the afternoons running around just exploring the mountainside. The hike to the creek behind the house was fantastic. The location was perfect for us. We loved being away from it all and having Breckenridge close by. The area offered lots of trails for us to choose from. We look forward to another wonderful stay very soon. Our family highly recommends this rental. Thanks for a great time!

Rafting Adventure

My wife and I and four others rented this property for three nights over Memorial Day weekend with our primary reason for our trip to raft in the Buena Vista area. This house is in an ideal location not too far off the asphalt road and close to the quaint town of Alma as well as many summer activities. The house is as described and the owners were great to work with when booking our stay. There are no neighbors close enough to worry about. The weather was ideal for the time of year. All utencils needed for cooking were on-site and the grill on the deck was great. Activities we did in the area were: 1) Spent quite a bit of time in the hot tub on-site which was great 2) Went horseback riding outside of Fairplay. This was expensive ($60 per person for a two hour ride) but was a great experience 3) Rented bikes in Breckenridge and rode about 10 miles (all but about one mile downhill) down to Frisco. This was a great deal as it was only $20 per person and you lock the bikes up in Frisco and take a free bus back up to Breck. 4) Spent some time touring Breckenridge and had dinner in town. 5) Played a few games of pool at the Alma bar. People in the area are very friendly towards tourists. 6) Went white water rafting in Buena Vista through Brown's Canyon (the Numbers rapids were closed due to the high water level). We used the company "American Adventures Expeditions" for rafting and also used the same company in 2009 at the Royal Gorge; I definitely recommend them. I have no regrets as a result of booking this home for our trip and I would highly recommend it. Thanks Diane!

We have been coming to Summit County for 3 years and have been looking for the ultimate place to stay..and we found it. Your lovely home comes with everything we could wish for and is in a perfect location. We really enjoyed being “close to the action” and “away from it all” at the same time! We will be back- same time next year!! We had a blast hiking, horseback riding, the fun park at Breck and hottubing at night under the stars. What a blast. The weather was perfect & we ate, drank & played till we were beat. The kids entertained themselves playing in the teepee and exploring. Thanks for the great memories.
