When you need to get away for some peace and quiet, but also want access to unlimited winter and summer activities with great dining, Audie's Retreat is your destination. Sometimes at night, it is so quiet that there is simply no sound at all...yet the fun in town is just minutes away!
Named after our daughter, Audrey Catherine, Audie's Retreat offers executive level comfort and amenities above the charming bustle of Breckenridge. But take a deep breath before you leave home, because you'll need all the oxygen you can get at the Top of Breckenridge!
In addition to all the activities in, and around Breckenridge, one of our favorite things about Breckenridge is the number of very good to excellent restaurants.
Some of our favorite restaurants in Breckenridge are The Blue River Bistro, Giampetro's Pizza (great for carry out), Relish, Empire Burger, Modis, Quandary Grill, Taddeo's, and South Ridge Seafood (for their Happy Hour appetizers). For Mexican food, our favorite in Breckenridge is Mi Casa and Carlos Miguel's in Frisco (sit outside facing the mountains with margaritas and appetizers!). Overall, the restaurants are good to excellent and reasonably priced.
Come for the winter and stay for the summer. Whenever you visit, we hope your stay is as enjoyable as ours always is!

A welcoming mountain retreat!
VRBO Bear stayed here - 09/25/2009 We had a great time up at Audie’s Retreat with our family and friends. We were welcomed into this home long before we ever arrived. We felt like we were home as soon as we walked into this very spacious townhouse with beautiful mountain décor in each room. There were personal pictures of the owner and his family, inviting us to share in memories of our own in this beautiful house. You could feel the love, laughter and memories that have been shared over the years.
We were extremely impressed by the fully stocked kitchen, making it possible for us to find everything that we needed. It was like the owners stocked the kitchen just for us! The high-end appliances, granite counter tops and large sinks made cooking all our meals a breeze. The little cubs enjoyed playing in the bunk room where there were plenty of books to read and toys for them to play with, along with a TV with DVD player and VCR. It was really great that the cubs had so many things to do. We really appreciated the property was cub friendly.
The adults enjoyed sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling fireplace looking out at spectacular views from the top of Boreas Pass. Another nice feature of the home was the two master bedrooms boasting master baths with large bath tubs and glass showers. Multiple families traveling together can both enjoy the luxury amenities! A favorite of ours was sitting in the hot tub on the private back porch and gazing at the stairs that went on for miles and miles. It was the most incredible star-gazing experience. Even if it’s too cloudy to gaze at the stars, you can enjoy the solitude of the mountains.
We dined out and ate in Breckenridge at Bubba Gumps restaurant because this little bear loves fish. We also enjoyed some ice cream and walking around downtown. There is always so much to see and do in Breckenridge. We were here during OctoberFest and had a great time!
Whether you choose to relax in the sanctuary of the private residential setting or get out and enjoy the beautiful Breckenridge Mountains, make this home your home away from home. I know we sure did!

Audie's Retreat at the Top of Breckenridge!
Year Purchased: 2005
Why the Owner Chose Private Homes
Although it's quiet and secluded in the mountains, it's only minutes from the charm of Breckenridge. Locally, there's fantastic skiing, snowmobiling, hiking, biking, mountain climbing, skating, golfing, white water rafting, great restaurants, spas...you name it and it's probably in Breckenridge or somewhere nearby in Summit County. All of Breckenridge is also very family oriented and kid friendly. There are lots of activities for children. It's also only a few miles from Keystone, Copper Mountain and Vail. The weather is awesome in the summer with world class snow in the winter! Access to Breckenridge is easy from either Denver or Colorado Springs (which we prefer to avoid the traffic and I-70). Breckenridge is simply a wonderful Rocky Mountain Town!
The Unique Benefits at this House
Quiet and secluded, with awesome views of the Rocky Mountains, a large hot tub on a private back deck, 2 master suites with jacuzzis, 3 fireplaces, a gourmet kitchen, 2 car heated garage, in-floor radiant heating system, wireless internet with a printer/scanner/fax machine to stay in touch back home. All the comforts of a mountain home with city amenities just minutes away.
The VRBO Bear stayed here and posted a message under "VRBO Stayed Here" on the Home Page. See what the Bear thought about Audie's Retreat!
A trail that leads up to an abandoned mine overlooking the entire Blue River Valley. Best by 4 wheel drive vehicle, a steep hike on foot.
A trail leading to an abandoned mine and down through French Gulch. A nice hike but can also be driven.
An awesome drive over Boreas Pass where the old railroad existed. The trail leads though meadows with elk and deer, through the Pike National Forest and all the way down to Como on Rt. 285.
A rock road leading up to Blue Lakes at the top of the Canyon. Unbelievable views. A hiking trail at the top leads farther up to waterfalls and more lakes.
The starting point for one of the most beautiful trails you will ever hike. Bring plenty of water and rain gear during the afternoon.
The beginning of a several mile paved bike trail that slopes gently down to Frisco. Enjoy shops, restaurants and bars along Main Street. Use our bikes, or rent them in town for an enjoyable ride.
