The title says it all - our experience visiting Jared’s mountainside cabin was truly exceptional - from check-in to departure, none of our needs went unmet. Jared clearly thought of all of the amenities to help us wind down and feel very much like we were home away from home at his cabin in the woods.
Views from the wrap-around porch alone are enough to book a stay here - even as temperatures dropped, we were outside for the majority of our time enjoying the scenery and taking walks up the mountainside. But you’ll also find that being inside the cabin provides just as much joy. We enjoyed cozy fires on the wood-burning stove, played board games, napped in the loft hammock, and put Jared’s wide variety of vinyl to great use on his record player as we spent time cooking and sipping coffee on the porch swing. There is a widescreen tv available as well, but we never once turned it on throughout our entire trip. We were lucky enough to have a surprise sunset visit from a curious fox - and even sighted a mama bear and her cub high up on the trail during one early morning hike.
As far as location, Breckenridge was a quick drive further down the mountain, and we were glad to visit tiny downtown Alma for groceries as we arrived, prior to checking in. Jared’s property is situated in a fantastic spot - up the mountain away from the hustle and bustle, but close enough to town for a quick store-run.
It isn’t a question of whether we’ll be returning to this cabin hideaway…it’s just a matter of when, and we are already looking at our calendars. Jared, thank you for your incredible communication with us prior to and during our stay. We couldn’t have asked for better hospitality!
