Enjoy the mountains and resort skiing without the hassle of I-70 traffic! Just over an hour from Denver or Colorado Springs, this fabulous home is a beautiful 40 minute drive over Hoosier Pass into Breckenridge. Keystone and Copper Mountain are not much further.
Located in Michigan Hill, one of the most prominent developments in Park County, this cozy but roomy 3 bedroom and 1 bath home is located on 3.5 aspen-studded acres. Views include the snow-capped mountain ranges to the North and West. The home has a spacious living area with a wood-burning stone fireplace open to the large dining area and kitchen. There are 2 bedrooms on the main level with a large bathroom which has a tub and a shower. One bedroom has a full-size bed and the other has 2 twin beds. The master bedroom and separate living area is privately located upstairs with a King size bed and it's own private balcony/porch overlooking the woods at the back of the home.
The home is not only beautiful inside but outside as well. The expansive porch across the front of the house offers magnificent views of the mountains and surrounding forest. There is a large hot tub on the front porch where you can relax and enjoy the mountain and valley views. It is easily accessible from the family room through the sliding doors. You can sit in the hot tub and watch it snow in the winter months. Comfy chairs are also provided to relax and enjoy the views. There are 2 additional porches on the back of the house (one up and one down). Herds of elk regularly gather in the fields below the home.
Michigan Hill is in the heart of all outdoor activities in the Rocky Mountains. In the winter you can snow-shoe right on the property or drive less than 5 minutes for cross country skiing and ice fishing. World-class skiing at Breckenridge is only 40 minutes away, allowing you to enjoy the hustle and bustle of Breckenridge but still be able to escape to privacy at the end of the day. In the Fall you will be in the heart of some of the most amazing aspen groves around. There are plenty of scenic views to stop at and admire the gorgeous aspen leaves turning golden orange and yellow. You will also be only 40 minutes from world-class mountain biking in Breckenridge and Keystone and 45 minutes from Buena Vista with the best whitewater rafting in Colorado. If hiking to a ghost town sounds like fun, you will be in the right place. Nearby Boreas Pass and Alma offer mining ghost towns to hike to. Buena Vista is the location of the famous ghost town of St. Elmo. Whatever your outdoor hobby may be, you will be close. The best fishing in Colorado includes the nearby Jefferson Lake, Tarrayall Reservoir, Lake Antero, Lake George, and Eleven-Mile Reservoir. As for shopping you can choose from the antique stores in nearby Como, Fairplay, and Buena Vista or the outlet malls in Silverthorne.
This home can offer you the vacation that dreams are made of. If you would like further information or pictures, please feel free to call me at the phone numbers listed on the right.

Why the Owner Chose Jefferson
This location is not only the most beautiful spot in Colorado but it is centrally located to all outdoor activities. It is close to world-class skiing in Breckenridge, hiking, mountain biking, fishing, hunting, 4-wheeling, rafting and so much more.
We have always loved South Park for its expanse and beauty. Also, 285 is a dream compared to I-70! it is easy and scenic to get there and back.
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin
The home is privately located on a quiet street with magnificent view of snow-capped peaks. It is on a 3.5 acre lot that is thickly wooded with beautiful mature Aspen trees. It is close to all the recreation areas and ski areas but still isolated enough to be cozy, quiet and beautiful.
Owner's Map of Jefferson
We bought our home in 2006 to have a mountain getaway in a gorgeous spot. It's only an hour from Denver or CO Springs, but it feels a world away. The setting is lovely with plenty of recreation all around--hiking, biking, skiing, etc. After a long day of play, we love to soak in the hot tub and watch the sun go down and the stars come up.
Our visitors/guests leave us wonderful notes about their stay. We're happy to share our slice of paradise with others.
Thanks, Janet and Ed

Relaxing Thanksgiving getaway
Guest: denvercraig
(Denver)
Date of Stay: 11/24/11
Review Submitted: 11/29/11
We enjoyed staying here during the Thanksgiving weekend. The location is far away from Black Friday temptations and an easy drive from Denver. Direct TV was nice for watching the games, Hot Tub was great for soaking and watching the stars. I imagine this setting is even more beautiful in the fall, considering all the Aspens that surround the cabin. I would like to return to this place in the summer and take advantage of the local fishing at Jefferson lake.
Owner response:Thanks, C. Glad you enjoyed the holiday weekend at our place. The aspens are beautiful year round--brilliant green in spring and summer and striking gold in the fall. Fishing is great at nearby creeks as well as Jefferson Lake. Come back again! Thanks, J & E.

Beautiful Aspens

We enjoyed our stay at Aspen Grove. The location was beautiful as we were able to see the aspens change colors for the fall. Sitting in the hot tub was wonderful each night. We found the house very clean and the beds were comfortable. Everything we needed in the kitchen was there. Be sure to follow the owners direction as our Garmin never could find the house.
Owner response:Thanks, G and K--so glad you enjoyed the stay! Part of the charm of our place is that it is secluded and private so the directions are important. Although it is easily accessible, you have to know where you're going. We are cooks, so having the right tools in the kitchen is important to us and our guests. You hit the height of the aspen gold, but truly, the trees are beautiful in all seasons.

Glacier Peaks Chalet was a fabulous location for a much needed respite. The beautiful scenery, fresh mountain air, warm sun, peace and quiet allowed us to renew our energy. This beautiful cabin was a perfect home base as we went out and explored the fantastic South Park area. After exploring and hiking we completely enjoyed the comfortable space provided by this lovely chalet. This was a most satisfying place to relax and experience a retreat. We definitely want to repeat this wonderful vacation.
Owner response:Thank you, Ann. Glad you were renewed! The cabin and the area are most conducive to that. Could you send us some pictures of all the columbine? You hit a spectacular wildflower season this year. We always have Indian paintbrush, wild iris and others, but this year the columbine went wild! Come back!

My whole family enjoyed the weekend at Aspen Grove, that included our four legged kids! Very homey feel to it, the dogs loved having the room to run and not being stuck in a hotel or a car. The hot tub was the icing on the cake!!
Owner response:Thanks, Erika. Our place offers something for everyone--young and old, including fur kids. The scenery, fresh air and peace and quiet are rejuvenating. Janet

My Husband and I have stayed at this lovely cabin twice in the last five years and will be back again! If there's one description I would give it, it would be "roughing it in style". If you are looking for convenient seclusion, this is the place. If you like to hike, bike, climb, jeep, ski, snowshoe or just sit in front of the fireplace or in the hot tub and listen to the silence, you can't get much better. the surounding scenery is also first rate.....

A great find in Jefferson

My husband and I have stayed at this home on two occasions, once in the summer and once in the winter. We enjoyed both seasons. The location is ideal, as it is only an hour and a half from our home in Littleton. The description listed is very accurate and the photos reflect the charm of the home. It’s very well maintained and comfortable. The owners were very helpful in answering our questions, although we really didn't have any major concerns. Once we got to the cabin, we really didn’t want to do much or go anywhere else. We slept in the comfortable beds, got up in the morning and went for long walks with our dog, saw numerous deer, and came home and made a wonderful breakfast. We read books and played games. It was a delightfully relaxing weekend. We would highly recommend this property to anyone who wanted a lovely retreat.

terrific getaway---yet close enought to Denver

We had a wonderful stay at this little slice of paradise---not too far from Denver, but it felt like a world away. The coziness of the cabin and the awesome views from the windows and deck made us not want to leave! The place was incredibly well-stocked with everything we needed. At night, we drove around to see a magnificent herd of elk on the hill---really cool. Our group tucked in at night with a movie, a crackling fire and popcorn. Perhaps sitting in the hot tub in the morning, enjoying a cup of coffee and looking out at the amazing mtn views was my favorite thing. We'll be back!

Our family of five stayed in the Glacier Peaks Chalet over Christmas this year (2009) and we are so thrilled that we chose this beautiful cabin. The coziness and warmth, cleanliness and charm all exceeded our expectations. Just about everything we needed was provided. We brought up our entire Christmas and wanted to include many of our usual traditions. With the stocked kitchen, abundant firewood and beautiful accommodations, we were able to make everything work in our home away from home and Christmas was better than ever! A short drive into Breckenridge allowed us to sled and enjoy shopping, all the while knowing we would quickly return to isolation and beauty at the Chalet. Of course, the fabulous hot tub, enjoyed in sub-zero temperatures made coming home that much more of a treat. Thank you, Kendall for the wonderful hospitality! Very Satisfied Customers, Amy and Bob
