Completed in May 2002, this mountain cabin is located on the historic Mosquito Gulch Trail. Just 15 miles south of Breckenridge, it is the perfect spot for either a secluded get-away or a ski vacation at a fraction of the cost.

Centered on ten acres of pine and aspen, the Irish Rose was designed to accommodate those who want a true Colorado experience. With Mosquito Creek flowing nearby, you will enjoy spectacular views of Pennsylvania and London Mountains as you relax with family and friends.

If summer hiking, biking or four-wheeling is your desire, four of Colorado's 14,000 foot peaks are at your doorstep, providing some of the best hiking and driving trails in the world. Tackle the summits of Mount Bross, Mount Democrat, Mount Cameron, and Mount Lincoln... all in a single day!

Gold pan on the local creeks, explore "Buckskin Joe" trail, and visit the ghost town of Park City. The historic mining towns of Alma and Fairplay are also nearby. Mountain bike to your heart's content or drive the legendary 4x4 "Mosquito Pass" into Leadville. Pick wildflowers and view wildlife--there's something for everyone!

If winter activities are your goal, the beautiful village of Breckenridge is just a short drive north where you can enjoy premier Colorado skiing, dining, and shopping. Keystone, Arapahoe Basin, and Copper Mountain are also close. Or, stay near home and cross-country ski to your heart's content. We have it all!

The Irish Rose was built with families in mind. The main level has a great room with a gas fireplace and floor-to-ceiling windows showcasing the beautiful mountains and trees. It is surrounded by a huge 32 by eight foot wrap-around deck. A full kitchen and dining area are also on this level to create an open, spacious environment. Pets are NOT allowed, No Smoking.

There are two main level bedrooms, one with a queen bed, and one with bunk beds geared for up to four kids. The great room sofa also pulls out to a queen-size bed. The master bedroom loft has a queen bed, washer and dryer, along with a small private balcony. There are full baths on both the main level and the loft. (The cabin also has a lower level with a private entrance which is occasionally used by the owners. This unit is not rented. Please inquire whether anyone will be there during your stay.)

Experience the Rocky Mountains in the comfort of the "Irish Rose." At over 10,000 foot elevation, it's as close to heaven as you can get!

  • Our family had a wonderful time! We ski'd in Breckenridge and Keystone. We sledded in the "backyard", we hiked up the river, grilled, played games, watched movies, and watched the birds and squirells. We searched for the mines but could not find them or any large game. The house has everything, movies, sleds, games, music, cooking utensils, and walking sticks. It also has info on all the local to do's. We had a wonderful, memorable stay and highly recommend the Irish Rose to anyone looking for an incredible place to stay.

  • We had a great time! Thanks for sharing your cabin. We arrived on Sunday and immediately donned snow clothes and headed up the hill to sled...that was a blast! We also skiied in Breckenridge, went on a sleigh ride, shopped on Main Street and the guys went snowmobiling. On Christmas Eve we hunkered down and played games and watched movies. The snow was beautiful. We have not experienced snow like that before. My daughter had a great time making snow angels! Oh, the wonder of a child! We also built a snowman with the kits you left us. We may have to visit in the summer sometime. It looks like it would be just as beautiful as the winter. Thanks for your kind hospitality.

  • The Montano Family stayed at the Irish Rose for a weekend in mid-September and had a wonderful time. The trip was a gift to the older Montanos for their 50th wedding anniversary. We all love the mountains and couldn't have been more pleased with the cabin and surroundings. We hiked, bicycled, fished (Dad caught fish in the nearby stream) and the girls even claimed to have seen a bear from afar! We also attended Mass in Fairplay and enjoyed going through the frontier town of South Park. Any pot or dish we needed was available in the cabin, as well as reading materials and games! It snowed the morning we left - what a treat! Thanks for the use of your beautiful home. Mary & Alex Montano & Family

  • The Montano family rented the Irish Rose for our parents 50th Anniversary celebration and it was a perfect setting. The Aspen tree were in full color and the weather was perfect. We really enjoyed visiting the historic Park City museum with it authentic buildings in Fairplay. Amazing we did not know about this special gem, and we live in Colorado! The last day was also special...the family woke to the first snow of autumn. Gorgeous! As we like to cook, we especially were impressed with all the cooking items needed for gourmet meals...including some spices we forgot to bring along. Upon our arrival we found that the grill was low on propane, but with one phone call request, a new tank was delivered within 15 minutes. We don't know where your nearby hobits live! It shows you care about your guests and I'd recommend the Irish Rose to anyone.

  • How GREAT it was to stay at the Irish Rose!! We were escaping from the Texas heat and were very succesful!! Temperatures were awesome for fishing, hiking, and also drinking coffee in the early morning watching the sun hit the mountains. Great fishing just a few minutes away in Fairplay and also on the property! Last day we took a quick trip into Breckenridge which is only a few minutes away. Great Location and we had a very very restful stay. Our only regret was not meeting Mr. Bear!!

  • The Irish Rose makes a great first impression; it’s clean, well maintained, comfortable and has fantastic views. Access to five “14ers” in the Mosquito Range made the Irish Rose a wonderful base camp for hiking. An unexpected surprise was seeing moose and visiting the extensive beaver ponds up the valley. Very memorable!

  • The house and property are beautiful, remote and pristine-- the perfect home away from home. We spent several days without leaving the Irish Rose property- there is plenty to do. And when we wanted a change, we didn't have to go far. We hiked in Buena Vista and Breckenridge, fished in Fairplay and Lake Dillon, and enjoyed a music festival in nearby Alma. I highly recommend the Irish Rose!!

  • We had a great time while at the Irish Rose. Explored alot in the area. The bear on the porch the first morning was really interesting. Great scenery and accomadations. There was 4 adults and my two girls. We were never bored for things to do and see. Hope to be able to make it back. Thanks for the opportunity to use your place.

  • June 30th-July 7th Outstanding! Fishing was great on little Mosquito Creek, Caught and released several little Brook and Brown Trout. The house could not have been set up better for us either. Everything was as advertised. We also ziplined in Wolcott, horseback riding near Fairplay and whitewater rafting on the Arkansas River, it doesn't get any better than that!Great vacation, thank you so much.
