Welcome to the Blue River Lodge! This luxurious 2500 square foot, custom crafted, log home comes complete with an outdoor 7-person hot tub, 6-person sauna, steam room, pool table, Indian tipi, huge deck, wireless broadband, acreage, views, and more. If you are looking for a true Colorado log cabin in the woods yet very close to skiing and the town of Breckenridge, this is it!
The spacious living areas include a very large master bedroom, three guest bedrooms and three very large full baths to comfortably accommodate three or four couples or a family with children. With top of the line furnishings, a fully-equipped and modern kitchen, down comforters and pillows, and plenty of living space, you will feel like a guest in a private home rather than a tourist in a rental property. Whether you want to relax under the stars in the hot tub after a day of skiing, curl up next to the fire with a good book, snowshoe out the back door (6 sets of snowshoes are provided), take a sauna, or shoot a game of pool, this house has everything you need for a perfect Colorado mountain vacation.
Other amenities include Satellite TV, wood stove, rock fireplace, indoor two person jacuzzi tub, and even an authentic Indian Tipi complete with firepit (and marshmallow roasting forks), bunks and mattresses in case you want to camp out with the kids.
Picture windows and two large decks offer magnificent views in every direction! Front deck looks into mountain peaks and rear deck faces National Forest. Secluded from view from other houses, the Blue River Lodge is nestled in Aspen and Pine, five minutes from Breckenridge with quick access to the ski areas of Breckenridge, Keystone, Copper, A-Basin and Vail. The Blue River Lodge is also close to world class golfing, shopping, back-country trails for hiking and biking, rafting, and gold medal flyfishing.

My wife and I purchased this home in 1996. We live in Denver but use it occasionally with our family but with kids active in sports we do not get to use it as much as we would like!
Why the Owner Chose Blue River
This house has great views and privacy yet is very close to the town of Breckenridge for shopping, skiing and restaurants.
