Location, location, location---! Why pay more when we are just as close as those listed "Ski in/Ski out?
Warmly decorated in mountain style with a sunny, southwest exposure, this cosy, smoke-free condominium is less than 200 yards from the Quicksilver Hi-speed ski lift and from the Ski Center offering lessons, ski storage, child care, medical care, restaurants, ice skating and more. The National Forest Land and Blue River are also at your doorstep, great for fishing and hiking in the summer. Adjacent to the condo, the private, Columbine Association heated pool and hot tubs are free to my guests and open for both the Winter and Summer Seasons.
I have recently put in new Queen beds and Queen sleeper sofa, all new kitchen appliances, a new water heater, all new carpeting and flooring and up-graded the two bathrooms. There is also Hi-speed and WiFi.
It's just one block from beautiful, historic downtown Breckenridge with all its wonderful shops and restaurants. If you prefer not to walk, the FREE shuttle picks you [and your skis] up near the condominium and takes you to all the ski lifts and all around town. It connects with the Summit Stage which will take you to all three other "world class" ski resorts, [ Keystone, Arapahoe Basin, and Copper Mountain] and to the surrounding towns --outlet malls, {for the non-skiers} more restaurants and stores.
A car really is not necessary but there is ample off-street parking at the condo. I can supply you with discount lift ticket information [good for 6 resorts] and with 40% DISCOUNT "ski/snowboard rental" coupons.
Breck is equally enchanting Winter or Summer. After an active day on the slopes or hiking, biking, fishing, etc., come home to a relaxing soak in one of the four large hot tubs- two in, two out, or the outdoor heated pool @83-87 degrees. These are open from the Nov. ski season opening through Easter closing; again Memorial Day through Labor Day. The sauna is always open. Afterwards, go back to your condo and enjoy a blazing wood fire, grill on the balcony, or just cook up a feast in your fully equipped kitchen.
If you want more excitement, stroll into town and browse the shops and dine at one of the many excellent restaurants housed in the charming Victorian buildings. Back at the condo, there is cable TV in every room, 1 VCR, 3 DVD players, a Stereo CD player, [bring your favorite CD's to enjoy in front of the fire] all sorts of books [including children's] games, puzzles, and videos.
The Master Bedroom, connecting bath, and large walk-in closet close off to give great privacy. It contains a new Queen bed and twin beds [trundle-the kids LOVE them!]. The second bedroom has a new Queen bed, and a bath across the hall [both baths have hairdryers and both bedrooms have humidifiers] and the living room has a new, very comfortable, Queen sleeper sofa.
There is a closet for ski storage in the entryway.
Credit cards are accepted through PayPal, but there is [sometimes] a 3% domestic and [always] a 4% foreign fee [Ask me about it]. I prefer checks.
We stay in this condo ourselves so it's clean, attractive and we try to anticipate what you would want to have to make it as comfortable [and CLEAN!] as home. Come see for yourselves and enjoy our incredible mountain scenery, the winter snow, and the summer wildflowers and temperatures in the low 70's.
The consensus of the remarks in my guest book seems to run, "Your condo was perfect, the location was ideal, we walked everywhere! We hated to leave, thanks for letting us stay."

Walk or Ski to All in Breck! Wi Fi, Woodfire 4 Hot Tubs-Pool
Year Purchased: 1989
Why the Owner Chose Motherlode
There I was with the perfect vacation location sitting empty most of the year. I just had to share it, so I started renting to guests. From what they tell me and write me, they all love it as much as I. Now, it's rented so much, I have to block out some nights in the summer for me to use and I never am able to use it in the winter. I guess I succeeded too well. Come out to beautiful Breck and see for yourselves if it isn't perfect.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
This location is so ideal. You never need to get out your car or find parking unless you want to go to another town. Even then, you can go almost anywhere in the county on the free bus. There are also free buses all over town and to all the lifts. However, my condo is right next to the Quicksilver Lift and Ski Center and to Main St. and all it has to offer. In the winter there are all sorts of Winter Festivals, and competitions and in the summer there are the outstanding concerts [the Breckenridge Music Festival and NRO], art/antique fairs, Farmer's and World Markets and of course many, many other activities, summer and winter, in this lovely, historic town.
Owner's Map of Motherlode
Although my children were all born and raised in the Virgin Islands, three of them discovered the Colorado Rockies, fell in love with them, and moved here. Naturally it wasn't long before I visited them and fell in love, too. Nothing would do but that I buy a place out here for everyone to use. I remembered a perfect little Victorian town and when I went to see Breck in the summer, it was just as perfect as I remembered from the winters, but virtually smothered in flowers. I looked no further!
However, as will happen, my children eventually married, moved far away, began having their own children and got on with their young lives--which didn't include vacations for the whole family in the far away Rockies.

Great place to stay within walking distance to the Quicksilver Lift. Condo is just like the description and the pictures on the website. Betsy is a great person to work with and is quick to repond to emails. She called our first night there to make sure everything was ok and I know if we had any issues she would have taken care of them quickly. Next time we stay in Breck we DEFINITELY will be staying at Besty's again. Thank you Betsy for a great place to stay at a great price!

5th Stay at Motherlode

Review Submitted: 03/22/11
I am finally getting around to commenting on my visits to the Motherlode. I just finished my 5th week staying at Motherlode B-5. Three different weeks in 2010 and in February and March of 2011. I will be there for spring skiing in April. What can I say, I stay there 3 weeks every winter because I enjoy the warmth and convenience. It is a wonderful condo with all of the amenities and so close to everything. You have every necessity for cooking in the condo, great pots and pans, all of the necessary utensils, a great gas grill on the balcony, and even a fondue pot. The owner upgraded the bathrooms with new shower doors and shower heads, making for a very pleasant shower experience. Three adults shower in the same time frame with plenty of hot water. You can walk to town and walk to the ski lifts. If someone wants to quit skiing early, it is only a 5 minute walk home. Some skiers come in for lunch. In the morning I walk to the nearby convenience store and pick up the newspaper, and an occasional boutique coffee. The skating rink is just 3-4 blocks away and the tennis complex is about 6 blocks. Upon arrival the condo is spotless with a bundle of firewood by the fireplace, coffee, parking pass, and discount coupons all on the kitchen counter. The pool/hot tub complex is just a short walk and always very nice. There are both inside and outside hot tubs, and the pool is inviting with its own hot tub. I have never used the sauna, but it is attractive. I stayed for 3 days in September of 2010 and had a wonderful time. If you can get out to Breckenridge in the fall months, it is a great experience. I would like to stay for Oktoberfest when it is available. This is a very nice condo with all of the amenities and a great location. Would I stay again? I plan to book for 3 weeks again next year.

This condo is fantastic! My family has stayed here for the last two Thanksgivings and then a few other times during the year! We have had up to 8 people sleeping comfortably here! You can literally walk to everything! But if you don't want to walk there is the bus just one block up the street! Ms. Betsy has the place full of everything that you could possibly need, I even cook Thanksgiving dinner there. The hot tubs are right out the back door and we literally walk less than a block and are on the base of Peak 9. I would recommend this place to anyone, and have!! Book with confidence.... best deal in Breck!

Exceptional Value and Great Location

Review Submitted: 12/15/10
First, I'll comment that the listing description and previous comments are very accurate. Betsy provided the best customer service I have ever experienced through a VRBO rental (thank you!). A couple great surprises: parking was easy, the walk to the slopes felt much shorter than described, the fireplace was ideal and used nightly and we walked to downtown shopping in Breck in 20 degree weather and snow without issue. Only one caution (and why we didn't give it 5 stars): it was tight quarters for six adults. Not a reason to stay away, just understand you're giving up a little space for a phenomenal price and owner interaction. We would definitely consider staying here again (even with six adults) and would recommend the property to friends.
Owner response:My condo actually sleeps 8 including the good sofa bed, but I'm sure it's more comfortable if some of the 8 are kids, it is just 2 bedrooms and baths and a "great room"!

The condo was perfect for our family of 4 (kids ages 11 and 14). It was our first time in Breckenridge, and we had a blast! We rode horses, went whitewater rafting, hiking, ice skating, and mountain biking, and took a day trip up to Rocky Mountain National Park. It was so convenient to have the condo as a base, with a short walk to town. Betsy's tips posted around the condo were so very helpful, and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed for cooking meals. We hope to return again some day!

Went with a group trying to do a budget trip. All 8 of is fit well. The slopes are a small walk but nothing significant. We had a great time and the rooms worked out well.
Owner response:I think this is a very fair and accurate review. The other reviews give more info, though. Owner.

Perfect location and very comfortable for my boys and I. It is a short walk to the slopes and downtown Breck. I did not have to start my car until the day we left. I plan on coming back next year
