Large Family Lodge South of Breckenridge on quiet, wooded acreage
In Ski jargon, 'Black Diamonds' are the toughest ski runs and for experts only-- but you won't need to be an expert to enjoy this Rocky Mountain Luxury Alpine Lodge! At 10,300 feet, it is nestled in the heart of South Park.
You'll find the BDAL rivals fine European ski lodges and provides high end amenities without the crowded tourist feeling and high prices you will find only 17 miles away in Summit County and Breckenridge. Completely avoid the I-70 weekend & holiday traffic jams by taking US Highway 285 practically right to the house-- it is a breathtaking 1.5 hour drive from either Denver or Colorado Springs. Convenient to major highways in snowy weather, (this is VERY important!) the BDAL is beautifully tucked into pine and aspen forests with huge views.
This is a custom built, luxury 5000 sq ft home overlooking the amazing Mosquito Mountain Range - huge views of Fourteeners right out your windows or from the private hot tub on the spacious patio! Perfect for entertaining, the gourmet kitchen invites you to host large families and friends.
The vaulted Great Room with large log scissor-trusses and a stone-surround wood-burning stove creates a fabulous resort lodge experience. Plenty of wood available! The entire upper level is heated with radiant in-floor heat. 5 large bedrooms (4 kings/2 sets of bunks) and 3 large baths will easily accommodate 12-14. The luxury master suite is an eye-popper-- see all the features listed below. Downstairs you'll find two more spacious bedrooms, one with a king bed and the other with 2 sets of bunks (1 set memory foam full-size mattresses), and another large bath as well. The downstairs Great Room is an excellent entertainment area (Billiards, Foosball, Home Theater) to give you (and the kids!) room to spread out.
This 5 acre property has the remnants of a gold mine from the last century. There are several stocked fishing locations within 5 minutes drive. We've also cleared a ski/sledding run on the hillside above the parking pad. Hands down one of the nicest rental homes in South Park. You will find the BDAL to be an elegant retreat with a unique Rocky Mountain touch-- you'll want to come back again and again!
Things to do: ATVs are available to rent in the Fairplay area. You can also arrange horseback riding, fly fishing, hiking, dog sledding and white water rafting a short drive from the home. Biking is a big attraction in the summer. The Annual South Park Burro Race and street festival is very popular as well. In Feb each year, the Ice Sculptures in Breckenridge are truly spectacular. The activities in the area are almost limitless in all the seasons.
We have a regulation pickleball court on the parking pad for warm weather use. The net is in the garage. Bring your own paddles and balls.
Please note: please review the house rules. We have a no pets and no smoking policy. Violations will result in forfeiture of damage deposit. The water here is spectacular so no need for plastic bottles of water.
