                        First of all, Debi and Marty are gracious hosts and did I say their place is beautiful? We spent a week forgetting our corporate lives back in Dallas while we watched the aspens changing from yellow to gold on the deck's reclining chairs overlooking Mount Bross and Mount Lincoln. The views were amazing and my wife and I couldn't help expressing ourselves with sighs of relaxation and bliss rather than actual conversation. We just kept sighing at the beautiful views. The television became a thing of the past, our email was set to "OFF" and cell phones were ignored because we were so happy. If you get the chance to experience this wonderful place take the time to walk the streets of Breckenridge for a day and eat on the upper deck of the Bubba Gump Shrimp Company on Main street. The views of the ski slope are amazing. Walk the streets and come back home to a warm buck stove fire with the firewood Debi and Marty provide. Don't forget to stop by the AL-MART in downtown Alma to get some of the Scanga meat if you want a nice steak or you can catch a trout in the gold medal river below the property. Thanks again to our wonderful hosts and we are looking forward to coming back soon. Scott and Jennifer / Dallas, TX

                        There's no way photographs of the views from this house can do it justice. I mean the mountains are right THERE! My husband and I couldn't tear ourselves away from the house for the first four days of our vacation. The leaves literally changed before our eyes. The house itself is also wonderful. The spacious, well equipped kitchen was perfect for nightly, family dinner gatherings. My husband (the chef) appreciated having all the gadgets he uses at home. I loved going out on the deck at night and looking at the stars. One night, the moonlight on the mountains was so bright and breath-taking I couldn't sleep. The beds and linens were impeccable, the bathrooms (and whole house) spacious and clean. What more can you ask for? We'll be back!

                        This was our second time staying at Debi and Marty's beautiful cabin--and we are still thoroughly impressed! This cabin has endless amenties, glorious sheets, and a warm fire. But the views are the heart of this incredible home! The balcony deck offers a pristine view of all of Placer Valley. If your looking for a prime location (close to everything, yet still secluded), in a quiet environment surrounded by beauty than this is where you need to stay! Debi and Marty are gracious hosts for anything you might need and excellent in booking your trip. Simply said...we LOVE this cabin!

Plenty of room and very comfortable. Warning! Quiet of nature is all around you and the views for the peaks are wonderful! Alma and Fairplay are very close by and Buena Vista is only around 35 minutes. We would love to stay again in the future!

                        We stayed for 4 nights at this beautiful cabin in Alma, Colorado with our family. The cabin is well laid out with the master bedroom away from the 2 guest rooms. This was helpful for Grandma & Grandpa. Not only did we get our privacy but we woke up to an incredible view of the mountains everyday. The kitchen is large and well equiped allowing more than one chef in the kitchen at one time. We would plug in our IPods into the home's sound system and have our own "So You Think You Can Dance" sessions in the large living room every night. The home was perfect for our familys vacation. Not far from Breckenridge if you want tourist activities, beautiful waterfalls/old mine up the road and a geocache only .3 miles away. Perfect Family Fun Home!

                        We had a wonderful time renting your home in Alma, Co. The home is beautiful and very comfortably decorated. Master bed so comfortable and loved the huge shower and jacuzzi tub! The kitchen was wonderfully supplied. Everything we could think of was provided. Beautiful view of the valley and surrounded by 3 14,000 mountains. We had so much fun. It snowed on our 4th day by 3" of snow. Wow. Winter Wonderland. You Are 20 minutes from Breckingridge, which we loved. You can be secluded at the house and then easily go to where their is a lot of activity. Highly recommend the river raft trip of the Blue River by Performance Tours. It's is beautiful. You can reach great hiking within minutes of the house. We did that for 3 days. Beautiful waterfalls on our hikes. We would easily recommend renting your house to any of our friends and would love to be able to come back again in the near future. Thank you for a great and memorable trip!!

                        We had a great time and would highly recommend this place. The property is close enough to Breckenridge (less than 30 min) for skiing, but in beautiful Placer Valley with gorgeous views of the mountains. It was well stocked and the beds and space very comfortable. The wood stove was wonderful and worked great. We have two children and the property was plenty big to accommodate us - more space than we needed. Owners were very responsive throughout the process.

                        We really enjoyed our experience with this vacation rental. The owners were very responsive to questions prior to and after booking. The house is clean and well stocked. Bedrooms and living area are larger than they appear in the pictures. The double shower and jetted tub are very, very nice!! There should be pictures of those! We also enjoyed hanging out on the front deck.

                      About the owner: We have been a realtors/builders/property managers for 18 years in the Alma area. We love the 'small town charm' of Alma and Fairplay yet enjoy the fact that we can drive 13 miles and be in Breckenridge for fabulous skiing, events and shopping. We can be in Buena Vista in 50 minutes in the hot springs or on the golf course or fly into Denver and only drive 90 miles to be at our favorite spot in the world.

                      Why the Owner Chose Alma:
                      We love the mountains and hiking, skiing and biking wooded areas and secluded trails. We enjoy being 13 miles from Breckenridge with its world class skiing, golfing, fabulous restaurants and shopping. At the same time we enjoy the quaint small towns of Alma and Fairplay and the pristine nature of our area. We love sitting on our deck and soaking in the sun and marveling at the majestic mountains.

                      The Unique Benefits at this House:
                      We enjoy hiking or snowshoeing out our back yard into the National Forest while soaking in fantastic mountain views. We walk a half a block down below our place and we are at the Platte River with excellent fishing or a peaceful walk or mountain bike along the dirt trail. We can walk or drive to Montgomery Reservoir for fishing, hiking, snowshoeing or jeeping (about 1 mile from our place). We are located on a quiet cul de sac with little traffic and plenty of wildlife. On a cold or blustery day we sit back and enjoy a roaring fire in the woodstove and cuddle up on the couch with a good book or on one of Colorado's many 'bluebird' sunshine days we can lounge or dine on our spacious deck and take in the sun and fabulous views.
