Location: Fairplay, South Central, Colorado, USA (1.5 hrs from Denver or CO Springs, 1/2 hr from Breckenridge)
Accommodations: Cabin, 2 Bedrooms, 1.5 Baths (Sleeps 6-7)
Quietly tucked away on 5 acres of tall lodge pole and other pine, the cabin offers a peaceful retreat. On the other hand it is close enough to town to take full advantage of the shops and restaurants. The property sits near an open valley with spectacular views of the Mosquito Range Mountains. It is a perfect spot for your mountain getaway with plenty of private space, quiet, sunny mornings and proximity to all that Park County, Summit County and Chaffee County have to offer to the outdoor adventurer. From festivals, white water rafting, gold water fly fishing, hiking galore, wildflower and bird viewing in the summer to cross-country skiing, mountaineering, sledding, and hot chocolate sipping in the winter we know you will leave having had great experiences and with magnificent memories. If you happen to want a tranquil retreat alone, this is also an ideal setting. After a full day of enjoying the outdoors in the beautiful Rocky Mountains, you can pull up a chair on the deck and enjoy the live show of the the starry nights - it will take your breath away as the absence of light pollution allows you to see it in full splendor.
The cabin is equipped to be your total home away from home. We love to cook and the kitchen equipment shows it! The very comfortable beds and linens were chosen for comfort and the family space is designed to create enough cozy seating for a family of six to enjoy an evening together of games, reading or discussion. Both bedrooms have wonderful natural light. Bedroom #1 opens onto a balcony and Bedroom #2 boasts an enormous skylight.
With close proximity to both Fairplay (2.5 miles) and Alma (5 miles) you'll enjoy exploring both of these funky mountain towns. Walking distance to fishing on the Platte. A few of our favorite spots include the Alma Saloon and the bowling alley in Fairplay where you'll surprisingly taste some great food! Breckenridge is only 21 miles away and Buena Vista only 35 miles.

Why the Owner Chose Fairplay
Peace, tranquility, beauty, great proximity to the outdoor activities that we love.
The Unique Benefits of this Cabin
Quiet, walks to the river, the stars, the quiet and comfort. Great location--to hike the 14ers from Kite Lake above Alma, to visit the local Fairplay shops and enjoy the many weekend festivities, to venture down to Buena Vista to fish or go white water rafting on the Arkansas, or visit the art galleries in Salida. It is fun to enjoy a crepe from the crepe cart in Breckenridge, fish nearby in the Platte River or choose from the many hiking trails in the area.
