Pet Friendly, Mountain Views, Near Fishing, Skiing and Hiking - Con Alma
Con Alma is just a mile and a half off of Highway 9 going to Breckenridge. This gorgeous 2 bedroom and 2.5 bath home is just 15 miles from Breckenridge and a short walk from the Platte River. The home has an intimate living area with a sofa sleeper, flat screen TV and a cozy wood stove. There is a rocker by the wood stove to warm up and relax in. The modern kitchen has granite countertops and stainless appliances with custom pine cabinetry. A gorgeous new balcony porch off the second main level is the perfect spot to look over the river, wildlife and mountains surrounding.
Upstairs the master bedroom has a king size bed and master bath with walk-in shower, jacuzzi tub, 2 sinks. The laundry is also on this floor with a stack-able full size washer and dryer. The walk-in closet is large enough to have someone sleep in there if they wish. There is a deck off of the master bedroom looking down the valley at the mountains and river. The second bedroom is on the main level, it has a full size bottom and twin size top bunk beds. If you have your best friend with you, there is a dog door, into the enclosed yard from this room. The bathroom on this level has a walk-in shower to help relax after a day of hiking, skiing or fishing. The entrance has a bench to take off your outdoor clothes and shoes, with a 1/2 bath close to get in that emergency bathroom break.
Some of the day trips you can take from the home include going to the Victorian town of Breckenridge where you can ski and snowboard at the world class resort. They offer ice skating, snow tubing, an alpine slide, mountain biking, a gold coaster, lots of unique shops and great dining. The best white-water rafting in Colorado is found on the Arkansas River just 45 miles away. The cute ghost town of St. Elmo is very close too. You can visit and feed the chipmunks and watch the 100's of hummingbirds in the summer. This is a popular hiking and ATVing location. Many of the famous 14'ers surround the home and Fairplay where you can hike or climb to the top. The offer some of the most amazing trails in Colorado.
If you are interested in going to the Colorado Springs area, it is only 90 miles away. You can visit Garden of the Gods and Royal Gorge in one day trip. I recommend going to Florissant Fossil Beds in Florissant which is only about 60 miles away. If you like to fish, the Platte River is right by the home and offers Gold Medal Fishing. Montgomery Reservoir, Lake Jefferson, Antero Reservoir, Spinney, and Eleven Mile Lakes are also very close. It is also a hunting paradise if you have a license. Horseback riding is just 10 minutes from the home at the South Platte Ranch. They have awesome day trips and evening steak rides.
This home is accessible in every season as it is a short driveway and off of a main county road with easy access to Highway 9 in the winter months. Whatever your favorite activity is, you can be assured of a memorable and fun vacation whatever activity you choose!

We appreciated the fast responses when we had questions. The location and the cabin were amazing. The only thing i would change is the bed and couch. They are both very uncomfortable. The jetted tub was wonderful!
A lovely, comfortable and cozy stay! Perfect for our much needed, long weekend getaway. All aspects are highly rated - excellent clear communication and instructions, pet-friendly, lovely quiet location, everything we needed for a comfortable cozy stay. We will be back!
The place was great, and the dogs loved having a doggy door! We loved having a fenced in backyard area for the dogs to explore, and the wood stove/fireplace was really nice- heated up the living room area perfect. The master bathroom and shower were cool too. Overall great stay!
Lovely house in secluded mountain area. Had a wonderful stay.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in
So I became very ill die to altitude sickness. We needed to move to a lower elevation. But there was no flexibility in refunding. The water smelled terribly of sulpher which made the nausea worse. The space did not live up to the pictures either.
Perfect location and wonderful house for our family!

Beautiful cabin!
This home was amazing! The views were incredible and everything was so new and modern! We loved the fenced in backyard for our dog and the views from the balconies were incredible! I highly recommend and can't wait to visit again!
Great quick fishing and hiking trip with my brother. Love the location. Would highly recommend, especially if you want to be a little bit away from Breck and in the mountains, but close enough to run in for dinner if you choose too.

Thank you for staying with us Jonathan. We love that you enjoyed the cabin and all the area has to offer! Please give us a call the next time you are in the area! -Second Home Second Chance Team
This was the perfect, cozy cabin for a weekend getaway! It's the perfect balance between privacy in the mountains and not being too far from surrounding little towns! The views were unforgettable. The house was clean and roomy. We couldn't have asked for better weekend in CO!
Beautiful location! Trail right across the street that runs along the river. Hoosier Pass is super close for more hiking trails. The house was perfect for the two of us and our dog. The bed in the primary bedroom was very comfortable and they provided most of what we needed (e.g. laundry soap, hand soap, garbage bags). Plenty of plates, silverware, glasses. The only minor issue is the quality of the frying pans - they have seen a lot of use. Highly recommend this home!
Perfect house for 2 couples or a family. Easy access to Breck, which is about 25 minutes away in snowy conditions. Alma and Fairplay are great for food and and grocery needs.

Thank you Justin! I am glad to hear you enjoyed your stay at Con Alma!
We had a great weekend at Con Alma. There were 4 of us and it was the perfect size. We were close to a bunch of hikes and not too far from Breckenridge. Our dogs had a great time as well - the fenced in yard was perfect! Great weekend getaway!

Thank you so much. I am so glad you enjoyed Con Alma. You were one of the very first renters in this beautiful new home. I hope you can come back in the summer or fall. It is gorgeous up there and the hiking around Montgomery Reservoir is exquisite. It has a waterfall running the length of the river and a hiking trail right beside it. There is a huge mine there that is almost all in tact too. Thank you again and come back soon.
Regards,
Susan
