Book the Carriage House at Brittany Place for the very best location to everything in Breckenridge this winter! Hate to walk in ski boots and carry your skis for long distances? The gondola for easy access to the mountain is just across Main Street from the Carriage House. Truly, there are very few places with this incredible location.
Newly painted with new furniture, The Carriage House at Brittany Place is a romantic little part of Historic North Main Street. It is incredibly convenient to everything in town--restaurants, shops, bars, groceries, ski rentals, bike rentals, the river walk, and outfitters for other recreational pursuits. You won't be disappointed in this Victorian bit of paradise which has terrific mountain views, and has an attached heated garage for your car and skis. It is actually easier to walk to your locations than to take the car. And if your feet get tired, there is the free shuttle that stops right across Main Street. Convenience!
The Carriage House sleeps 4--2 in the the queen sized bed on the main floor and 2 in the queen bed in the loft (not recommended for children who cannot safely navigate the ladder). It has a fully equipped kitchen, jetted bathtub, gas fire place, a small DVD library and board games for old fashion fun.
You won't be disappointed.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2005
I am a Colorado native and though I have traveled extensively, I think that what Colorado has to offer cannot be beat! As a public school teacher of deaf and hard of hearing students in Denver, CO, I enjoy my school holidays as much as I can in Breckenridge. I have two grown sons so I have the freedom to get away often. It is fun to share my little second home with guests from all over the country, some of whom have come back for 2nd, 3rd, and 4th stays. My guests have treated my place gently--as if it were their own homes. I appreciate that!
Why the Owner Chose Brittany Place
I bought the Carriage House as an investment with an eye for the best value for the money. I scored! Everyone agrees that it is unique. I so enjoy spending summer days and evenings in Breckenridge. It is cool in the evenings and pleasantly warm in the day time. The view from my front door is gorgeous both winter and summer. The location is one of the best in town--across the street from the gondola--and incredibly close to shops, restaurants, bars, and the grocery store. It is so easy to get around from my location, I hardly ever get in my car except to go home to Denver.
The Unique Benefits of this Carriage House
The Carriage House at Brittany Place is located in the Historic District of Breckenridge. In keeping with that theme, Brittany Place was developed in 1998 incorporating the historic Victorian design, which was typical of the architecture during the late 1800s when Breckenridge was a thriving mining town.
Inside the Carriage House, you will see some stained glass that was brought from England and was most likely created around 1860. The builder cleverly used the three panels—two in the dividers between the living area and dining area, and one inserted into the bathroom door.
The wood floor also has a unique history. Originally the wood came from the floor of the old wooden garage out back. When the structure was moved to its present location, is not known. But because it was going to be used as a garage when the property was purchased, instead of a residence, the builder removed the floor. He found that it was made of sturdy 4 x 4 planks. He had the wood milled to be tongue and groove for the floor in the Carriage House. In the process, he became aware that the old shack floor had probably been a wall somewhere else in Breckenridge, sometime during the 1890s, based on how structures were built in those days and the materials used. You can still see the marks in the wood from the old iron square nails used back then, which gives the floor its character.
