Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2005
The owners are natives of Indiana who relocated by choice to Colorado in 1976. Their main home was in Boulder, Colorado but they have owned a second home in Breckenridge since 1977. They retired to Breckenridge in 2003 and are now year round residents of Breckenridge. They have four children and 10 grandchildren.
She is retired from the staff and faculty of the University of Colorado in Boulder. Her field is Early Childhood Development. She is a nationally known consultant in the campus childcare field.
He is retired from his "earlier life" in the corporate world where he has CEO and interim executive experience with multiple NASDAQ listed public companies. In his "life after his life", he served as a professional Ski Instructor at the Breckenridge Ski Area. He is PSIA certified and has completed his 8th year of teaching.
They both enjoy gardening, flowers, hiking, fishing and alpine skiing. Both enjoy family, theater, concerts, international travel, dining with friends and a good book.
Why the Owner Chose Private Homes
Tarn View House was built in 2000 and acquired by the owners in 2005. The home was built with a stand-alone private "caretakers apartment" complete with its own private parking, private deck and private entrance. Breckenridge may be a vacation resort area, but it is our permanent home. We have been avid fans of B & B lodging during our European travels. We enjoyed the uniqueness of each B & B. We wanted to share our studio suite apartment with guests who are looking for more than "just another hotel room".
The Unique Benefits of this Studio
Not just a hotel room, the studio is completely equipped with a complete kitchen, dining area, king size bed, queen size sleeper sofa, satelite HD Flat Screen TV, WiFi internet connection, DVD and CD player.
The setting is very private. While on the private deck, guests find themselves in the midst of a developing Aspen grove full of wild flowers and tall native spruce, fir and pine trees. The studio apartment is a part of the main home, yet feels like a separate small cottage. Ideal for couples or couples with small children. While in a private forest setting, Tarn View House is but minutes from the village center, free parking lots and free shuttle buses that then transport you directly to the gondola and all mountain base areas. Sleds and Snowshoes are available for guest use. Guidebooks and local information are available from the owners.

Only 1 mile south of Breckenridge. Quiet, spotless efficiency with separate entrance from the main house. Big king size bed for two, fold out sofa for two kids. Kitchen with all the gear you need. Gene is awesome and very accomodating. Couldn't have asked for a nicer little place. 5 minutes drive to Breck and the gondola parking. Will definitely return.

A Great Way To End Our Week in Colorado

Review Submitted: 09/22/11
Breck has been a great way to end our week in Colorado....it's a beautiful state! We enjoyed biking & hiking (we did the hike to Mohawk Lakes that Gene recommended) and explored downtown. The Suite at Tarn View House was more beautiful than it looks online. We loved how peaceful and cozy it is. Jo's gardens were lovely & the chipmunks were a bonus. Thanks for making us feel so welcome.

My wife and I stayed here with our 11 month old son and it was SPECTACULAR! The apartment is immaculately clean and the hosts are as gracious as they come. Being locals, they helped us plan local hikes and things to see. The house is very conveniently located which makes getting around easy. I would HIGHLY recommend staying here as we will the next time we are in Breck.

We came to Tarn View House on a "babymoon" wanting to spend some quality time together before the arrival of our first child. Your lovely home was everything we had hoped for. We were able to relax while enjoying the great Breckenridge summer weather and the beautiful surroundings. Your hospitality was above and beyond and we loved every minute of our visit. We hope to return again in the future....next time with the baby.
