Fairplay Ranch Estate — 5BR Sleeps 10, 35 min to Breck
A five-bedroom ranch estate on forested Fairplay acreage, 35 minutes south of Breckenridge over Hoosier Pass. Ten guests, five bedrooms, three baths. Purpose-built for a group ski week that does not want to squeeze into a resort condo — space, a game room, a private hot tub, and a wraparound deck under some of the clearest skies in Colorado.
THE SPACE Great room with vaulted ceilings and an indoor fireplace. Fully equipped kitchen with a coffee bar and stainless-steel appliances. Upper living area with a view that guests keep coming back to describe. Bedroom 1 has a king; Bedrooms 2 and 5 are queens; Bedroom 3 has a double; Bedroom 4 has a double plus a bunk. Seven beds total, three baths.
WINTER SKI ACCESS Breckenridge is 35 minutes north over Hoosier Pass — Peaks 7, 8, 9, and 10, 2,908 skiable acres, and the Imperial Express Superchair at 12,840 feet, the highest chairlift in North America. Keystone Resort is 60 minutes and adds 3,148 acres across Dercum Mountain, North Peak, and The Outback — plus night skiing on Dercum until 8 pm. Arapahoe Basin, typically the longest season in Colorado, is 60 to 70 minutes. Off-resort: Boreas Pass Nordic trails begin 20 minutes away, Antero and Spinney Reservoirs are close for ice fishing, and snowmobile country begins in Fairplay.
THE LOCATION Fairplay is a working mountain town in Park County at 10,000 ft — grocery, gas, restaurants, hardware. Alma is 15 minutes north on the way to Breck. Denver International Airport is approximately 90 minutes east.

Had a great time with family at this beautiful house. The host was very responsive when we had a slight issue with the water heater. Overall, really enjoyed our time there.
Overall the view was great and communication was easy we got the check in information the day of and they communicated the entire stay with us. It was a group of 5 and we had plenty of room for all of us.
7 adults, 2 kids, 2 dogs. Family weekend, grandkids in town, there was plenty of space for all of us, very well appointed home , they had everything we forgot. Fenced in area was awesome for late night dog potty sessions. Awesome time , hosts were attentive and available. Beautiful views , loved our time there
This cabin made for such a relaxing, enjoyable stay. There were plenty of beds for our family and lots of room to just lounge throughout. The kitchen had everything we needed, there were several games to play, and the panoramic view of South Park out the living room windows was incredible! The location is very private, and in a gorgeous setting surrounded by aspens. It was so relaxing to sit in the hot tub every night watching distant lightning from thunderstorms.

Thank you so much for sharing such a thoughtful review! We’re delighted to hear the cabin provided a relaxing and enjoyable stay for your family, with plenty of space to spread out and unwind. It’s wonderful to know the kitchen, games, and especially those panoramic South Park views helped make your time memorable.
We love that you were able to enjoy the peaceful setting among the aspens and end your evenings in the hot tub with such a beautiful backdrop. We’d be thrilled to welcome you back anytime for another mountain getaway!
Hosts were above and beyond in their communication with us. Having rented through VRBO a number of times over the years we can say that this house was stocked like nothing we have experienced before. The house was so clean. We love the FairPlay area, got to experience Burro Days and just enjoy the quietness of the mountains! It was just what the family needed. One note: the driveway is a real challenge and the altitude is definitely something you need to adapt to….. but worth the climb!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review! We’re delighted to hear that our communication and the way the home was stocked made such a positive impression, and that you found everything clean and comfortable. It’s wonderful that you were able to enjoy FairPlay, experience Burro Days, and soak in the peaceful mountain setting—what a special way to spend time with family.
We appreciate your note about the driveway and altitude; those are great reminders for future guests, and we’re glad you felt the views and experience were worth the climb. We’d be honored to welcome you back anytime for another mountain getaway!
We used the house for a company planning retreat. It was a great space for us. We experienced a couple of very minor issues where the instructions provided didn't match the actual conditions.
For example, instructions said there would be a stash of batteries in a drawer that we couldn't find so we ended up swapping batteries between remotes to get everything functioning.
Everything else about the space was amazing. Very clean, neat and all the cooking amenities we needed to have a very enjoyable stay. We're already talking about re-booking for next year.
