We want to introduce you to our magnificent family home nestled in the forest of Breckenridge! If a great price, a fantastic location, and a host of amenities interest you, this is the place you want! IMAGINE 2 acres of incredible views from all sides of the property, three decks, a jacuzzi under the stars, and 3,000 sq. feet of space in the house - THAT'S LAURAWAY! Located on two wooded acres, which border the famous Blue River … all of this remoteness is less than 5 minutes from the center of historic Breckenridge.
Lauraway is a family home, we all work on the house so it is much more than just a rental - you'll find warmth and friendly additions at Lauraway. We take pride in owning and caring for our home.
Lauraway is ideal for family reunions and groups of friends who want special times together. The dining room table which can seat 12 makes meals an opportune time to share, the picnic area by the Blue River provides outdoor eating, and the multi-levels give some 'space' when space is needed! The house will comfortably sleep 12 and there are also convertible beds (hide-a-beds).
And for those people who find they must do just a little work while vacationing, we do have WIFI service.
WE WANT YOU TO EXPERIENCE LAURAWAY, TOO!
HOUSE DESIGN:
LOWER LEVEL - As you enter the house, there is the game room with TV/DVD, pool table, and barstools and counter. A deck with table, chairs, and large Jacuzzi 'under the stars' sits next to the game room. Also on this floor is a Sauna. One bedroom, Lodgepole, has a queen bed while the second bedroom, Aspen, has two sets of bunk beds. And finally, the bath on this lower level has a shower.
MIDDLE FLOOR - This is all entertainment. Our renters comment that they love a level with no bedrooms so 'entertainment' can occur at all hours of the day or night! The great room hosts a TV/CD/DVD unit, a wood-burning fireplace, a game table, and lots of seating - two couches, a recliner chair, and two window seats. The kitchen hosts modern conveniences and there is a long kitchen counter with 5 barstools. In addition, the dining room table can seat 12, so all can enjoy each other's laughter and tales of the day! We have even added a second refrigerator for large groups. The washer and dryers on this floor may be used by guests. There is also a half-bath. Outside on this level is a deck with patio furniture and a propane grill.
TOP LEVEL - You may find yourself fighting for the master bedroom suite - the Wildflower room has a king bed, walk-in closet, two window seats, two couches, private deck with exquisite views, TV, and bathroom with a shower. The second bedroom on this floor, Pinecone, has a queen bed; and the other bedroom, Spruce, has two twin beds. These two bedrooms share a full bath with double sinks.
GUEST COMMENTS:
- “We had a FABULOUS time at Lauraway. We have stayed in the Summit County area on several occasions and everyone believed that Lauraway was the best place we ever stayed.”
- “My husband and I really believe that staying at the right house makes or break a vacation. The huge living room was a great gathering place for everyone so that we could catch up on everyone’s activities for the day. And it was really great to have a dining room table big enough for everyone to eat together. The hot tub and pool table got a lot of use as well.”

We had a great time at Lauraway. We had four families with ages 10 mos - 74 years and everyone enjoyed it. There was plenty of room for everyone to sleep at night and congregate during the day. All the adults loved getting up early and having coffee on the deck and the kids loved "exploring" in the trees and watching the chipmunks. The spiral staircase may prove a little tricky for kids < 2 but our 74 year old parents maneuvered it fine :) The owners were very accommodating and the house was in a very convenient location for everyone to do what they wanted (eg. rafting, shopping, 4WD roads, fishing, biking, Peak 8 adventure park, etc). We will definitely consider Lauraway for future group trips!Recommended for: Sightseeing, families with teenagers, adventure seekers, families with young children, girls getaway.

Great location and floor plan. The layout was great for multiple families. We really liked that the 2nd (middle) floor was just the kitchen, dining and living room. It worked well if people wanted to go to bed early and not be disturbed. The hot tub was the best we've ever used. The homes we have rented in the past always seem to have a few jets in the hot tub that don't quite work properly. This hot tub was perfect. All of the jets actually worked....and worked WELL! Location is prime. So close to town, but secluded enough to be nice and quiet and have some privacy.Recommended for: Sightseeing, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway.

My husband and I travel quite a lot and we were very impressed with this property! We took our 3 young boys here with 7 of our employees (single, twenties). The place was very close to the shops and slopes, was beautiful, clean and well maintained, very cozy and complete with everything we needed in a home away from home! The floor plan was perfect for us! There are 3 floors and my family took the third, while the single guys fit perfectly on the bunk beds and queen on ground floor. Around the house was a safe and great place to have snowball fights and sled for little kids. The jacuzzi was heavenly after a day in the slopes! Our friends/employees were able to play billiards and have a good time by themselves and we had our privacy upstairs, while being able to all hang out at the 2nd level eating and watching TV and just chilling. There was plenty of room to just sit, lay down, run around, eat, and just be together enjoying everyone's company. It was the perfect combination of privacy and bonding! We were even able to conduct our annual business planning presentation on the living room. Tony and Elizabeth are professional and friendly and went out of their way to make us feel welcome and at home, especially after going through flight delays and snowstorms. I don't think staying in a hotel or condo would have allowed us an amazing, relaxing, safe, and fun vacation. Will definitely recommend this place to friends and family and anyone who is looking to enjoy Breckenridge!Recommended for: Sightseeing, families with teenagers, adventure seekers, families with young children, girls getaway.

We loved staying at Lauraway! We combined two families for Thanksgiving and had more than enough space. The huge dining room table allowed us to fit everyone at the table at one time. The kitchen was spacious enough to allow multiple cooks in the kitchen. And the best part was that there was always something new for everyone to do. There is a short trail to a beautiful creek, a hot tub, sauna, pool table, and then the massive main floor great room for everybody to lay down and watch movies. Couldn't have picked a better place for our Thanksgiving vacation! All of this, combined with outstanding communication from the owners means we will be coming back without a doubt! Thanks again!Recommended for: Sightseeing, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, adventure seekers, families with young children.

Lauraway was a perfect fit for our seven adults and five kids(ages 14,7,5,4,and 3). Its location out of town along the Blue River and just off Rte 9 was great.it was close enough for a quick trip into town and far enough away to feel isolated in the woods.The house set up was ideal with bed rooms above and below the kitchen and living room. The kids loved the space and used it well for their arts and crafts. The jacuzzi was a wonderful accessory and great for relaxing and refreshing.We truly appreciated the well-stocked kitchen and grill for our cooking enthusiasts. We had some good running, hiking,and biking while there.The kids loved the Peak 8 fun place despite some ling lines. Some went horseback riding and most did a gold mine tour.High fives for those. The place was as described and shown.The owners were helpful and responsive.They have done a great job of maintaining their property and facilitating great stays by guests.We recommend this property highly!!Recommended for: Sightseeing, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, age 55+.

We never heard a sound from others the entire week we were there. The owners are outstanding to deal with in every step from planning, paying, and staying. The staircase from the lower level to upper with in the house is a spiral and we were concerned for our 1-1/2 year old. The owners supply a child gate and it worked for us. I give an excellent rating because of the interaction with the owners (very customer service driven).Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

We had a great time over the 4th of July in Breckenridge. It was wonderful to sit in the hot tub and enjoy the mountains every morning. The setting is very peaceful and beautiful. The house worked out great for us. Plenty of bathrooms and enjoyed having the 1/2 bath on the main floor. Great gathering place for families. Enjoyed the hiking close by.Recommended for: Sightseeing, families with teenagers, adventure seekers, families with young children, age 55+.

Why the Owner Chose Private Homes:
We fell in love with Breckenridge while skiing there years ago and decided it would be a perfect place to own a vacation home. Our home is nestled on 2 wooded acres so it feels like you're away from it all, yet it's less than 2 miles to the gondola. And the best part - summers are just as great as winters in Breckenridge with endless outdoor adventures.
