Booked this condo back in September for a ski trip out west with 2 friends of mine. Arrived to find a clean, updated studio condo for the week. Kitchen amenties were all there. Plenty of storage for bags and equipment and was a great place to wrap up the day. And a short walk to the Maggie lift at Breckenridge. Lots of fun in breckenridge too. Would like to get back their summer or winter. The only challenge for our group was space for sleeping. There were three adults in our group. Each needing their own bed. On the plus side all of the beds were quite comfortable including the pull-outs. But... when both the pull-outs are out it makes for a tight squeeze for walking by the beds. I would definitely stay there again. Though would agree with the description as stay for up to 4 but ideal for 2.

We stayed here for a last-minute MLK Day getaway, and were very satisfied. The owner is responsive and helpful, there was always room in the hot tubs - even on this busy weekend -and the room was quite cozy and well-supplied with cleaning materials and basic needs (toilet paper, paper towels, etc). The ceiling's a bit thin, though, so we could hear the upstairs neighbors pretty clearly. Parking was easy and convenient, as was walking access to lifts and town. Altogether, it was a quite relaxing stay, and unbeatable for the price. Thanks for a great weekend!

My wife, daughter and myself stayed here for 10 days over Christmas break and were very happy with the accomodations. The unit was clean, recently renovated and very comfortable. This was everything we expected and more. Bobbi was a pleasure to work with and there were no hidden surprises here. We would definitely reccommend for those looking fior a convenient, clean and cozy place to stay in Breck. Chris

We had such a great time at your condo in Breckenridge. It was so much fun playing outside in the snow and coming back to a nice warm studio. The kitchen remodel is beautiful and I never heard a peep from the neighbors. Great location, can't wait to go back. Great location and Accurate description. Photos are accurate. Property was clean and well maintained. I may have been the first one to use the new kitchen. The owner is very professional and a delight. I would most certainly recommend this property to friends and family.

Good location but some problems

We stayed here in March 2011 and it does have some good points. It's clean, decor is fresh and very well located. There are however some minor problems, and one very big one. The wall between the condo and the neighbours seem to be made of cardboard or some other equally flimsy material, and the wooden ceiling seems to be the floor boards of the condo above. In short there is absolutely no sound insulation and you can hear everything the neighbours say, every foot step, every bit of TV or music they listen to, and this can get quite annoying at one in the morning. The guest book is full of similar comments so this is not an isolated incident. Such a shame because the owner could fix this cheaply and easily but chooses not to. Other things are frustrating too but not to the same extent. The advert says flat screen TV but this isn't the case. The luxury sheets promised were cheap ones with a made in China label (and didn't match the sheets) And a padded toilet seat, what is that about?????? The condo is cheap but it needs to be. Personally I would pay more next time and stay elsewhere.
Owner response:Please note that the condo is going to be under-construction all summer with new siding and windows. This construction will close down the units all summer - at which time we have plans to sound-proof the ceiling, as well as remodel the kitchen. Also to note, we have talked to the owner of the unit below ours - and we are working on the sound-proofing project together. This unit will be sound-proofed from both the floor and the ceiling! It will be lovely. Breckenridge is quite busy during spring break - and there is a lot of activity at all condominiums. Also to note, we're not sure what happened with the sheets. It was a back-to-back stay, so the cleaner may submitted another set of sheets due to being in a hurry - but that is no excuse. Regarding the flat screen TV - it is indeed a flat screen TV, however it is not a flat panel TV - which is different. You will love your stay at our condo -

My husband and I stayed here for an extended weekend. It was wonderful!! The condo is in a great location and is so comfy. You'll love the fireplace and for longer stays the full kitchen is great. Great for a romantic getaway.

This is a wonderful studio condo to stay in for Summer. I was there for two nights in June - one day it was 80 degrees and the next it snowed. It is Colorado. :-) It is an easy walk into town for dining and shopping and a short walk to hike or bike Peak 9. The Blue River is just across the street for finding a place to sit for some sun and quiet. The unit is very clean and very well taken care of and the internet is a definite bonus if you cannot leave your laptop at home.

We loved this cozy unit. It was well-located - close to the lifts and close to town. The bed was great! Bobbie was wonderful as well. She was incredibly nice and helpful when we called after midnight and were slightly misplaced. Would definitely stay here again.

August 23 thru August 31, 2007 Such a wonderful stay in this nicely furnished studio. Everything was perfect for our stay. Really enjoyed the extra comfortable bed and the town of Breckenridge. The cozy condo had everything that we needed and was exactly what we expected. The owner of the condo was very helpful and keeps the condo nice and clean. We traveled 1500 miles one way and we were very happy with our stay. I would highly recomend! Thanks Bobbi for a wonderful stay. Can't wait for our next visit....

What a great place to come "home" to after taking in all of the sights and adventures of Colorado. We loved being so close to Main Street in Breck. This condo was the perfect accomodation for us on a quick get-away! Thank you!

Just got back from a weekend getaway for my birthday. We love staying in Breck and truly LOVED our cozy, darling condo at the Motherlode. We are already checking our calendars for our next visit. We are avid cyclists and Summit County has everything we could ask for with a wide selection of trails. Thanks again for an invigorating weekend with top notch accomodations!!

Wow, where to begin! We had such a lovely time staying at the Motherlode! They had everything we needed and our stay was extremely comfortable. Excellent location, within walking distance to great shopping and dining! This was our first stop on a 4000 mile road trip, and it was the nicest of our accomodations BY FAR! So cozy and comfortable, it felt so good to snuggle up on the porch with some wine after a long day of site-seeing! We are so fortunate to have found the Motherlode, and we'll definitely be back for more! Thanks again Jan and Bobbie!!

I’m so thrilled we found this lovely furnished condo for our weekend getaway.What a GREAT location . . . within walking distance of everything we wanted to do and see in Breckinridge. We walked for coffee every morning and there are so many fun shops and restaurants, especially the crepe wagon! We even took a stroll to the Breckinridge Brewery for a beer one beautiful snowy evening. Vail is only a short drive away. We spent an entire day there (we had pedicures at the Aria Spa, enjoyed a delicious lunch, rode the gondola and had fun shopping in the village. Every night we slept incredibly well in the comfortable bed, and I loved the water pressure in the shower! Very clean and neat. We will definitely be back.

Email from recent guests B, J & T: We want you to know that we really enjoyed your condo! It was just perfect for us-- all the room we needed, a great location, and very comfortable! Having a wonderful bed in a small condo was expecially nice! Breckenridge was cool and beautiful, and we had a great stay.
