We had the perfect week away at the Alpenhaus! The cabin itself was beautiful and equipped with everything we could need. The views were absolutely stunning. The proximity to Fairplay and neighboring cities like Breckenridge (plus several trails) made it a great spot that felt remote but not too far from food/activities should you decide to venture out. The road to the cabin is a bit bumpy and my non-4WD SUV made the trek just fine (even after some snow) but would definitely be safer to have a 4WD in the event of heavier snow. Would definitely visit again!
We just loved the peace & quiet up in the mountains. Home had everything you could possibly need. Very clean & well maintained property. Great host and good communication as well. Would definitely recommend this property!!

Beautiful Views
It was a great place for families and a beautiful location in the Colorado mountains. I enjoyed sitting on the patio and enjoying the snow topped mountains. We really enjoyed it and wish we could have stayed longer.
Well appointed, tastefully decorated, and (of course) the incredible view. The missing hair dryers were a minor inconvenience (someone had taken all 3) and a couple of the jets on the hot tub didn't work. However, it was all extremely clean and comfortable. Would stay there again in a heartbeat.

So glad you all enjoyed your Birthday gathering, you never know what the weather will be like in April. Please come and visit during the summer or fall, there is amazing places to hang out and enjoy the outdoor activities. This mountain home is perfect to get away from the heat, air conditioning is not needed at 11,000 feet.
We loved our stay at this house .It was clean well stocked and had a great view. The host was great and checked in with us to make sure we had everything we needed.
What a peaceful and comfortable place. Enjoyed the snow, skiing and relaxation in the hot tub. Would highly recommend and will be back to this cabin soon
Wonderful time with family! Cabin was just far enough away to enjoy the woods feel along with being able to enjoy time in town. Viewing the Milky Way and area wildlife was the best.

From the moment we arrived, we were absolutely amazed at the breathtaking views! Everything about the house was just as described and it was very clean.
We had a great time staying at the cabin. The kids loved the property and all the open space for playing around the cabin. Would definitely stay again.
Thank you.
Alpenhaus did not disappoint! It was exactly the mountain getaway we were looking for, including the hot tub. Full of comfort and beauty, this location provided the opportunity to enjoy some memorable family time and recharge for our busy lives. We hope to have the opportunity to stay again!!
