Year Purchased: 2005
Why the Owner Chose Warrior's Mark
What's not to love about Breckenridge? It is a wonderful mountain town with something for everyone and a town with as much to do in the summer as in the winter. Breckenridge gives us a wonderful respite from the sweltering heat and humidity back East and some true winter weather absent from the South. Its proximity to Denver makes it easily accessible for those who have to fly to Colorado. We can be in Breckeridge in under two hours after landing at DIA. Access to world class fly fishing, skiing, dining, shopping, hiking, not to mention the surrounding beauty and scenery made Breckenridge an easy choice.
The Unique Benefits at this House
After the home itself, with all its charm and comfort, the second most wonderful thing about Wapiti Lodge is its proximity to town. Katie and Doug often walk into town in the morning for a breakfast burrito. Connie and Phil are known to walk to town to get the paper. Ellen (the big shopper of the family)is usually able to convince someone to walk into town to go shopping. Richard and Krisitie's three girls, age 4, 6, and 7 love to walk to town knowing they can always take the bus home (the shuttle stop is one door up). And the whole family has been known to walk into town after dinner for ice cream. In the winter when the weather does not permit you to walk, the free shuttle takes just minutes to get to the base Peak 9, downtown, or the Gondola. The shuttle is frequent, reliable and easy to use.
Owner's Map of Warrior's Mark
The Russell Clan currently lives all over the country - California, Maryland, Texas, Colorado, North Carolina and Florida - but share a love for Colorado which began in 1983 when Grandparents Phil and Connie were stationed at Fitzsimmons Army Medical Center in Denver. The love continued when son Richard and new bride moved to the Denver area in 1998. Grandson Russell followed in 2003 to the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado springs. Other family members, no longer able to stay away, joined together to purchase Wapiti Lodge, a home gracious and spacious enough for all of us to be together.

Two family ski trip

Review Submitted: 01/08/12
We stayed here with another family so we were a small group for the size house....only 8 people including kids. However, we loved the home. It was very well maintained and equipped. The owners have done a wonderful job of organizing the home and thinking of all a renter's needs. The kitchen was fabulous and a joy to prepare meals in. The kids had a great time with the ping pong table and big tv. it was great to have a separate living area away from the tv where the adults could talk. The layout of the home is also great with most of the bedrooms away from the living space. This made it very easy for the kids to go to bed early or take naps while the adults visited. The owners were great to work with and responded to our inquiry and questions very quickly. A highlight of the trip was seeing a fox run through the neighborhood from the breakfast table on two different mornings! I really can't say enough good things about this rental property. We have stayed at half a dozen different places that I have found through VRBO over the years and this home was by far the best yet. We definitely plan on staying here again next time we come to Breckenridge.

Just wanted to say thanks again & let you know that my family & I had a wonderful stay at your home in Breckenridge! We had everything we needed (& then some), & we all felt very comfortable & "at home". Our group of 19 ranged in age from 1 to 75 & it was an enjoyable & relaxing time for everyone!The home is very well maintained & clean, & the newly remodeled kitchen was great!! Ideal location too.... everyone was easily able to walk into town. The owners were great about communicating with me & very accomodating as well! I'd definitely recommend this home to a friend.....We'd love to stay here again, should we have a big group in Breck again!

Wapiti Lodge was the best place you could possible want to be in if you have a large family or large group of great friends. With all the bedrooms and bathrooms our group of 15-18 with ages from 9mos to 50+ had no trouble at all! We considered finding a house that was ski in-out but decided to stay at Wapiti Lodge. We were all so happy that we did. The location was wonderful. Those who wanted to walk could walk those who wanted to ride, just could walk up to the next driveway and catch the Free shuttle! It was so easy and convenient! The base of the ski area is right down the road and town was right there also!! So glad we stayed at this wonderful house!! For the cooks in your group the house is incredible!! There were 4 of us in the kitchen most of the time and it was no trouble what so ever. Outstanding kitchen!!!! Everything you could possible need is provided. For the kids in our group (including grownups) the game room was the best. Ping pong and pool provided a fun relaxing evening after skiing. We loved our stay and if you chose this house I know you will not regret it at all!!

Our family loved staying at the Wapiti Lodge! The children loved playing in the snow outside, playing ping pong & pool & just having their own space. The adults loved sitting by the fire and playing games! We were able to enjoy tons of family time and laughter. The bedrooms were so spacious & private the babies could nap and not be disturbed by others. (Kids loved having their own bunkbeds & bathrooms!)We all enjoyed the hot tub & movie nights! If anyone wanted to go skiing or into town the bus stop was just up the street! (Great shopping & skiing in town!) The women also enjoyed walking to town and getting some fresh mountain air. The kitchen was wonderful - truly a chef''s dream! The house was clean, well maintained and we had everything at our fingertips. We loved it! We truly enjoyed our New Years and would recommend this fabulous getaway to anyone!!!! We hope we can return again in years to come!

Wapiti Lodge was a perfect place for our extended family Christmas in 2010. We all agreed that the owners had thought of everything, from comfortable bedding to extra toothbrushes to ornaments for our tree. Best of all, the newly renovated kitchen had all the space, tools and dishes for our non-skiers to prepare multiple holiday feasts. While many rental homes have a skimpy collection of cookware and tableware, Wapiti is well stocked for those who love to cook and eat!

New Years Reunion

Review Submitted: 01/12/10
Wapiti Lodge was the perfect spot for our groups New Years reunion. The house was exactly as advertised: nice bedrooms with great beds and linens, well stocked kitchen with every pan and utensil that you would desire, a dining room that sat 16 for dinner and three separate living spaces (the kids especially enjoyed the ping pong). We had 8 adults and 8 children for our stay and never felt crowded. There is a separate ski and boot room with boot and glove dryers, which keeps the gear mess in one place. The house is two doors down from the stop on the Brown bus which delivers you to both Beaver Run and the Gondola station. The only time a car is necessary is for grocery runs, since Main street is an enjoyable 10 minute walk in the evening. Our only regret is that we enjoyed the house so much we didn't explore the town much after skiing.

Our family of 10, including 2 grandparents and 2 families of 4, stayed in Wapiti the last week of July, 2009. My brother and his family (12 of them) stayed next door, and the 22 of us (ages 4-71) had dinner together every night in one house or the other except the last night, when we went to the Pizza Parlor restaurant downtown - a yummy ending to a wonderful week. The restaurant allowed us to make reservations for 22, which was quite helpful. Wapiti had so much room and was very comfortable, inviting, clean and well equipped, just as the information on the website said it would be. We loved the games, pool/ping pong table, fireplace, outdoor playground, hot tub, fishing and wading creek, big kitchen and pantry, good cookware, short walk to town, comfortable beds and furniture, beautiful views, wildflowers, and so much more. We did have some rain most days, but in spite of it, various groups of us hiked, fished, biked, ice skated, swam, played tennis, went horseback riding, shopped, enjoyed the hot tub, played games, did a puzzle, rode the alpine slide at Peak 8, took a drive up to Boreas Pass, and rafted on the Colorado River. The people were friendly and helpful everywhere we went, which made for a happy bunch of vacationers. Oddly enough, although my niece from London booked the houses, it turns out that Wapiti is owned by a family who lives right in our neighborhood in North Carolina! I contacted the owner when we arrived home to let her know how much we enjoyed their lovely mountain home. Nice family and a fabulous getaway!!!

For the second year in a row our extended family has stayed in Wapiti Lodge for our vacation in Breckenridge and we plan to do so again next year. It is the perfect place for our family of 7 adults and 8 children ranging in age from 3-16. The parents love all the amenities for the younger children and the older children love the pool/ping pong table and the big-screen TV. The bedrooms are perfect and the kitchen is fully equipped. The location is ideal for easy access to town either by walking or taking the bus.

This was our second ski trip to spend in your home. There could not be a better house to accomidate our needs. We have four families, all with children. The four Master Suites accomidate the adults. We put the girls in the two extra bedrooms with a bath upstairs, and the boys in the two bunk rooms and bath down. The house is so well stocked with everything we need, and the shuttle is so convenient. It's perfect, and we hope to make next year our third visit.

Comment Text: This was our third ski week in Wapiti Lodge, and we love the house. It is obvious that it is owned by a family who uses it and cares. It is the best equipped and organized rental house we have ever had. The owners have thought of everything for young and old, skiers and non-skiers. The floor plan is wonderful, with two comfortable seating areas, one for TV, puzzles and games and the other for conversation by the fire. We had 17 family members in the house and never felt like we were tripping over each other. We highly recommend Wapiti Lodge, for comfort and convenience to skiing and the town of Breckenridge. For us it felt like home.
