Awesome Cabin

Date of Stay: 11/19/11 Review Submitted: 11/28/11

The cabin was everything we could have asked for. We stayed during Thanksgiving week. It was beautiful, clean and just a great place to spend our vacation. And of course the price was unbeatable. The views were even more beautiful than the pictures could show. The owners where very helpful and responded quickly to all questions. I would highly recommend this property to anyone wanting to spend a wonderful time in Colorado. It was close to Breckenridge, Frisco and Keystone, yet private and secluded. The children (young and old) enjoyed the games, the pool table, the snow and the quietness. The town of Fairplay was only a few miles and had restaurants, grocery, and more. I would recommend tubing in Frisco, shopping and the gondola ride in Breckenridge and our favorite was Dinner & A Sleigh ride in Keystone. It was close to great ski runs- Breckenridge, Monarch, Copper Mountain & Keystone. It was overall a wonderful experience and we look forward to staying at the Hifalutin Lodge again. We miss it already.

Truly a Getaway

Guest: The Traveler (Texas)
Date of Stay: 09/14/11 Review Submitted: 09/20/11

Relaxation with a view! And without the temptations of home such as a tv in every room and Internet. Great walking and nearby mountain biking trails. Coffee, Internet and local chat at Java Moose in town. Not having Internet gave me a chance to get out and explore the local scene. The peacefulness of the cabin, woods and excellent accommodations (all I needed were a few groceries) made it a very pleasurable and hopefully repeatable experience. Thank you for sharing it.

Great Cabin!

My husband and I stayed here with another couple in July. We found the cabin very clean and the accomodations great. It is a perfect cabin to share with another couple as there is a bedroom and bath downstairs and then 2 bedrooms and bath upstairs. With the pool room downstairs and the great room upstairs there is lots of room as well as as much privacy as you want. We spent the daytime ATVing in the area around Alma which was an easy drive. Evenings were spent relaxing on the balcony and playing pool. The location is very private and quiet which we enjoyed. Much more peaceful than being in a town condo. Having a washer and dryer was another big plus as this was just the front end of our vacation. Our only regret was not having more days there. If we return to the area I will definitely check to see if this cabin is available.

We arrived at night and it was a little hard to find at first but the owner described it clearly on the email on how to find it. This is a beautiful lodge. Very quiet. Not too far from Breckenridge The only thing we wish were the Internet and the second tv on the main living area. But hey we can live without the web for a while. The owner even has two sled for us to play with coming down the driveway. That was something. We had a very great time staying at this place. Highly recommend.

Great getaway!

We have rented the Hifalutin Lodge several times and highly recommend it to others. The location is great with trails for hiking direct from the property plus there are many opportunities for great jeeping and hiking trails within a short distance of the community. You will find the house well appointed with most everything you need for your stay. The pool table in the basement provides great evening entertainment. The owners are very accommodating and offer their home at a very reasonable price for the area. During your stay, don't miss taking in the town of Fairplay nearby---it has a lot to offer!

Summer Vacation In the Mountians

Guest: Yetti (Minnesota)
Date of Stay: 08/27/10 Review Submitted: 11/16/10

We had a great trip to the Colorado this summer. This is a beautiful located near all of the wonderful things the mountians have to offer; white water rafting, off road jeeping, mountian biking and fly fishing are what we enjoyed and that is jsut the beging of activities in the area. The accomadations are first class, clean and wll maintianed. and made the trip even more enjoyable. The home has a very nice and quite location and is very well kept. There is plenty of space for living, dining, sleepin and an occasional game of pool. The outdoor deck is also a wonderful place to enjoy the surrounding nature. The photos and description represent the property nicely. I hope to come back in the near future and will recomend this property to my friends.

Hifalutin Lodge exceeded expectations

Guest: Matt (St Louis)
Date of Stay: 07/31/10 Review Submitted: 11/11/10

This is one of the best rental properties I've ever stayed in. Hifalutin Lodge is spacious; the kitchen was VERY well equiped. The dense trees that surround the property make it feel secluded. Breckenridge and all it has to offer is about 30 minutes away. I recommend staying here to anyone.

Owner response:Thanks so much, Matt!

Beautiful cozy cabin

Guest: Deana and Billy (Texas)
Date of Stay: 06/21/10 Review Submitted: 12/31/10

Absolutely loved this cozy cabin. We have stayed in many places in Colorado and this is our favorite. The cabin was beautiful inside and out. We saw mule deer right out the window of the cabin. Fly fishing was just down the road. Lots of great trails to hike in the national forrest behind the cabin. It was just a short drive to white water rafting, horseback riding, and shopping Especially loved that it was less than 30 minutes to Breckenridge. Will definitely come back during ski season.

Great location, great home, wondeful time

Guest: Denver Dude (Denver, CO)
Date of Stay: 09/18/09 Review Submitted: 11/13/10

My family came up from Dallas this September and we all spend a wonderful fall weekend at your home. Fantastic! The aspens had all turned and the entire area on the side of the mountain was bright orange and yellow. Absolutely beautiful! The house was very nice and spacious for the four of us, and the patio was great. At night we brought out my spotting scope and looked at stars and both nights we were visited (probably 100 yards away) by bugling bull elk! We didn't see them but they were very close and kept my family entertained. We drove around the side roads around the house and we saw a bull moose in a river bottom. So great! This house is on our list of places to return to when the family comes back up to visit next fall. The only tiny complaint (and this is really a small one) is that the kitchen utensils could use a bit of an update. Really dull knives. But obviously this is a minor thing. Overall the place was awesome and in a prime location - 20 minutes from great hiking, fishing, and 30 minutes from Breckenridge. We went to Breckenridge not knowing that their annual Oktoberfest was that weekend. So, we parked and walked around amongst the other 2,000 people and had a blast, drank a few good beers, had some sausages, and just enjoyed the cool mountain air. Wonderful place and we would highly recommend it. Barton Denver, CO

We had a wonderful time. The aspens were turning and the place was in a great location - close to Breckenridge, Buena Vista, tons of fishing and hiking, and we did it all! We even heard a bull elk bugling not 100 yards from the deck each night and saw a bull moose just a few miles drive up towards the National Park. Great stuff!

We really enjoyed staying way up in the mountains in this fabulous log cabin. The pictures and description don't do it justice. It is located in a quiet area so there is not a lot of traffic. There were six of us including two children but we were not crowded or bothered by each other. Lots of things to do including fishing in lakes that are almost within walking distance. We had fun but didn't catch anything. Fairplay has some great places to eat and of course Breckenridge is always great to visit and explore. We intend to return in the winter and go skiing. Great value for the money!!

Owner response:Night crawlers from the local fishing store should solve the fishing problem:) I've caught lots of big trout with them from those ponds. Glad you enjoyed your stay!

Vacation stay

Guest: Cass and Jim (Baltimore, MD)
Date of Stay: 07/03/09 Review Submitted: 01/08/11

We were visiting friends and Boulder and decided to make a trip here part of our stay. There was plenty of room for all of us (including four kids between the ages of 2 and 13!), the house was clean, well stocked and nicely maintained. The pool table was a big hit! We also made several day trips from the house to various towns and other locations, and the house was a good jumping off point.

We enjoyed a great week in the cabin. It was well stocked/equipped as well as comfortable and we were surrounded by beautiful scenery. It was wonderful to sit on the deck and watch the wildlife and enjoy the mountain air. There are interesting areas to visit in the area and fun activities including white water rafting and great fishing in the ponds.

We had a wonderful time at the Hifalutin Lodge. We were there the end of May, between ski and summer seasons. The cabin is clean, comfy and cozy. We enjoyed just relaxing near the fire, watching the sun rise while sipping coffee and putting the rest of the world aside for a few days.

Debbie's comment: The weekend was GREAT! One of my best memories is just sitting on the couch in the cabin and watching Brett, Jonathan, Joshua, Tim and Doug play poker, and then whatever else they played. It has been too long since I have had the pleasure of doing that. What a blessing. We enjoyed everything we did. Brett: The cabin was so easy to be in and take care of. Nice and new, room for 7 people easy, great kitchen, family room around a fireplace, gameroom downstairs, and a terrific retreat from our busy every day rush. A real treat. Feel free to drop me an email, happy to answer questions you might have about renting this place!

What a great place! We just loved staying at Don and Kiki's place. They have furnished their 2d home with all the right things to enhance the already perfect environs. Our family of five enjoyed the best ski vacation of our lives at Breckenridge thanks to these guys. Whether it's playing pool, Karaoke, enjoying a homemade supper or just louning on the "bearskin" in front of the fire, HiFalutin Lodge is the place to be! Thanks guys:-) The Corneaus

We enjoyed a wonderful time here during spring break. Short 30 min drive to Breckenridge skiing. The cabin is beautiful and in perfect condition just as advertised. Scenic lot with many trees and privacy. Secured community with controlled gate access. We definately plan to come back to Hifalutin Lodge. Thank you Don and Tiki for everything you've done to make this a great getaway for the family. Dan & Sara Thimmesch, Lawrence, KS

We just wanted everyone to know that Tiki and Don's cabin is a wonderful place to stay. It is hidden in the woods and the views are fantastic. If you would like to see pictures of our stay in their house go to the address below.
