Wonderful

We had a wonderful time at this property. It is in a great location and close enough to Fairplay and Breckenridge for entertainment. While being far enough to enjoy the beauty of the mountains and the tranquility that comes with it.

The home is quiet, cozy, and secluded yet close to town. It has all necessary items stocked (and then some). The decor and home items are unique and from other countries, love the culture of the home! Love the riverside right below the home.

Great place for a quiet weekend getaway!

Stayed here for just a couple nights in early June with my wife and our dog and we all loved it. Very nice property and close to some decent hiking trails. Plus we saw moose our second night! Highly recommend!

Celebration!

My children and I had a lovely stay. The accomodations were perfect for us. I'm a young mom with breast cancer and we were celebrating the end of a treatment phase, so the trip held a lot of meaning for us. I hope to stay again soon!

Mountain getaway

We headed to Fairplay to escape the heat of Denver with our dog and loved this little retreat. Being so close to town but feeling like you are in the middle of the mountains was the perfect combination. They nailed the decor and the front deck was my favorite spot to have coffee and start our day. We worked remotely there for the week, so I can confirm the Wifi was also excellent!

Beautiful location! We watched a herd of Elk across from the patio. The place has everything you need. We were a party of two and it was perfect. Only a few things: deck was real slick in the morning. Especially when It was wet. So be careful. Same with the tub. We thoroughly enjoyed this stay.

Engagement Weekend!

Our stay here was amazing! My partner and I wanted a weekend away before we moved into our new home and this perfect little home allowed us that! We were able to ski, spend time with our puppies, and spend time remotely as a family. We even got engaged that weekend! It was the PERFECT little spot for a relaxing weekend. We will absolutely be back.

Great weekend trip!

This little house was perfect for us for a fall getaway! The views from the deck were amazing. We saw about 30 elk across the way one night and got to listen to them bugle. You have no neighbors and the house was well stocked and cleaned. Great proximity to hiking trails without dealing with all of the people. We will likely be back!

Beautiful spot!

We had a great time! Loved seeing the elk pass through the field across the way. The tile and concrete floors made it so I didn’t worry about the pups. We’ll stocked kitchen. Enjoyed my nightly baths in the tub. The bed was a bit of a challenge (it’s high) for my five foot height to get into, but that’s a minor complaint.

Anniversary Trip

My wife and I visited for our 10 year anniversary and enjoyed our stay. The location of the house was central to a variety of things to do around the area. It was a beautiful secluded spot with great views of the Colorado terrain. We thoroughly enjoyed the amenities and comfort of the house. Unfortunately, my wife is allergic to dogs and there was dog hair present throughout the house so we had to do some cleaning to prevent her from being dealing with that. Other than that we really enjoyed the house and even got to see a moose wandering the road while there.

About the host

Hosted by Kelly & Jonathan Shiffer

Host profile image
We moved to Colorado in 2012 as an alternative to the hustle and bustle of busy, and hot, Dallas, TX. Since then, we’ve been exploring the mountains and found so much to offer. We’ve come to love this area and want you to see and feel that it’s one of the most special places in Colorado. This packet lists some of our favorite hikes and activities but is just the tip of the iceberg. If you’d like more recommendations, we would be happy to share what we can, just give us a call.
