The Willoughby Cottage dates back to 1891 when grocer R.F.Willoughby had it built. His son Ralph Willoughby and his new bride, Maude, spent their first months of marriage in this small frame house. At the time, the honeymoon suite was a remodeled horse stable that occupied a spot on the property owned by the groom’s parents at 322 South Main Street.
When the newlyweds moved out, in 1903, Ralph’s father put the cottage up for lease. The newspaper ad read, “FOR RENT. CABIN WITH OR WITHOUT BACHING OUTFIT. INQUIRE OF R. W. WILLOUGHBY.”
The tiny cottage was moved to this location in 1990 and restored as a romantic retreat. The Cottage is featured on the Breckenridge historical walking tour.
In the summer, use the bike/walking trail that goes from Breckenridge to the town of Frisco. Minutes to the City Market for groceries and the Town of Breckenridge’s Recreation Center with its full weight room, rock climbing wall, indoor pool, indoor hot tub, out door hot tub, indoor running track, indoor and outdoor tennis courts.
Make our cottage yours, and enjoy all Breckenridge has to offer.
