Step into the full size kitchen with it's stainless steel appliances and plenty of counter space; fully stocked with all the cooking, baking and serving dishes you will need to whip up a delicious meal and share it with your favorite people. With the Bathtub/Shower combo, you can hop in for a quick refreshing shower after a warm summer day of hiking or you may choose to sink in for a long hot soak in the tub after a full day on the slopes. The washer and dryer is easily accessible in a laundry closet off of the first floor bedroom - so no need to waste precious vacation time hauling dirty items to the laundromat in town.
The large elevated deck is a gorgeous relaxation space. Available on the deck for your enjoyment is a large outdoor dining table and chairs with a gas grill for the full outdoor dining experience, comfortable patio furniture where you can drink in the mountain views along with your tasty morning brews and a gas fire pit around which you may enjoy an evening drink under the pines in the company of a thousand stars.

Relaxing Location & Great Access for Hiking!
We had a fantastic long weekend at Alpine Haus! This roomy and comfortable cabin has incredible access to hiking, including the DeCaLiBron circuit and Mt Silverheels. The cabin is beautiful and surrounded by trees. As an extra perk, there is a secluded hot tub that worked great! I would highly recommend staying here and hope that we can make another trip soon!
Good stay. Hot tub was very clean. Enjoyed the views and time on the deck. The upper bedroom is nice, because of the spiral stair case one of us slept in the lower bedroom. (Note - we are both seniors). This is our second year renting in the Alma area, we will back again next year.
We loved our time here. The place was exactly as advertised. Will definitely be back for another stay in the near future.

Alpine Haus
The 11,000 foot altitude provided a great view of the snow on the mountains across the valley below. The inside of the house was very clean and had all the amenities you would hope for. The outside had a great deck overlooking the valley and the whirlpool in the back was very enjoyable.
Very cool cabin 30 minutes from Breckenridge. The place has everything you need for a fun getaway. Pet friendly is a plus, the family had a great time.
We enjoyed our stay. Room for improvement but overall we enjoyed the cabin and surroundings! Beautiful view.

Relaxing 4th of July getaway
Loved the hot tub, fire pit and large deck with bbq grill and covered outdoor eating area! Kitchen was huge and nicely updated! Would definitely stay again!!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Alpine Haus. The accommodations were perfect and the view even better! We enjoyed the hot tub on site as well. Only issue was we didnt listen to the instructions. You will need a 4 wheel drive or snow chains to get there!
We truly enjoyed our time at the Apline Haus. When we had talked about a mountain vacation, this home checked all the boxes. We could not have had a more perfect Christmas vacation with our children.
Cool place perched high with great views. Location was a challenge to get to with high altitude very icy switchback roads. You’ll have to drive a way to get to anything but that’s also part of the charm.
The cabin and view is gorgeous and the property has all the amenities you could want. We really enjoyed the hot tub and the fire pit. We also went into Breckenridge for dinner and it was an easy 30 minute drive. I would definitely recommend an AWD car though.
I didn’t realize the elevation of this cabin - and it was a bit rough adjusting. I’d have loved to have some furniture that was more comfortable to relax in, but the cabin was distanced away from other houses and a nice place to relax.
If you’re looking for a remote trip - this is perfect! The roads can be a little difficult when there’s snow - so take the 4wd and snow chains comments seriously. The owners were extremely responsive and the place was well stocked and clean. The hot tub is in a perfect location to see the stars. It truly was a perfectly relaxing vacation and we would 100% stay again!
This cabin is so adorable! Loved the decor and cozy feel. This location was perfect for our family to travel to close surrounding towns and hit some of our favorite hiking trails. Highly recommend! Be aware this elevation is very high and may take some adjustment.
