The Irish Rose - a Colorado Dream Vacation Spot - Secluded!

'The Irish Rose' - Your Colorado dream vacation get-away!

The Irish Rose has become a vacation favorite for guests from all over the world! Just take a look at our guestbook comments below! This mountain cabin is located on the historic Mosquito Gulch Trail. Just 15 miles south of Breckenridge, it is the perfect spot for either a secluded get-away or a ski vacation at a fraction of the cost.

Centered on ten acres of pine and aspen, the Irish Rose was designed to accommodate those who want a true Colorado experience. With Mosquito Creek flowing nearby, you will enjoy spectacular views of Pennsylvania and London Mountains as you relax with family and friends. A seven person hot tub sits out front in the location of an old historic mine if you want to relax and enjoy the view from there!

If summer hiking, biking or four-wheeling is your desire, four of Colorado's 14,000 foot peaks are at your doorstep, providing some of the best hiking and driving trails in the world. Tackle the summits of Mount Bross, Mount Democrat, Mount Cameron, and Mount Lincoln... all in a single day!

Gold pan on the local creeks, explore 'Buckskin Joe' trail, and visit the ghost town of Park City. The historic mining towns of Alma and Fairplay are also nearby. Mountain bike to your heart's content or drive the legendary 4x4 'Mosquito Pass' into Leadville. Pick wildlowers and view wildlife--there's something for everyone!

If winter activities are your goal, the beautiful village of Breckenridge is just a short drive north where you can enjoy premier Colorado skiing, dining, and shopping. Keystone, Arapahoe Basin, and Copper Mountain are also close. Or, stay near home and cross-country ski to your heart's content. We have it all!

The Irish Rose was built with families in mind. The main level has a great room with a gas fireplace and floor-to-ceiling windows showcasing the beautiful mountains and trees. It is surrounded by a huge 32x8 foot wrap-around deck. A full kitchen and dining area are also on this level to create an open, spacious environment. Pets are NOT allowed, No Smoking.

There are two main level bedrooms, one with a queen bed, and one with double bed and trundle geared for up to three kids. The great room sofa also pulls out to a queen-size bed. The master bedroom loft has a queen bed, washer and dryer, along with a small private balcony. There are full baths on both the main level and the loft.

The cabin also has a lower level with a private entrance in the back which is only used occasionally by the owners during periods of maintenance and upkeep. It is never rented and will almost always be unoccupied during your stay.

Experience the Rocky Mountains in the comfort of the 'Irish Rose'. At over 10,000ft elevation, it's as close to heaven as you can get!

This was the perfect getaway! My boyfriend and I stayed at the Irish Rose to celebrate our birthdays and it was magical! Beautiful views, a beautiful cabin, and the hot tub was awesome! Even though the windchill reached -20 degrees during our stay, the Irish Rose and surrounding scenery more than made up for the cold. Rich was super responsive and kind.Could not reccomend the Irish Rose enough!!

Beautiful secluded getaway

Awesome stay away from a lot of people. We loved the location and want to go back! We saw Moose, and mule dear from the deck and enjoyed the hot tub every evening. They had toys and movies that were perfect for our 3 kids all 7 and under. We caught pretty brook trout on the property, loved the acreage and not seeing any neighbors! Felt like an actual “getaway”

Very nice and quiet.

Our small group of adults loved the cabin. While we didn't see much in terms of wildlife, the cabin and the hot tub were very relaxing. We'll add this cabin to our short list for future trips in the area.

The Irish Rose was perfect. Quiet, secluded, comfortable, with beautiful views and lots of wildlife. The kitchen had all the pans, implements etc we needed. We enjoyed exploring the property and the hot tub was great. All around, we couldn’t have asked for anything else and hope to make it back someday.

About the host

Hosted by Rich Sweeten

Host profile image
Just a military family that has long ties to Colorado and loves the mountains! We are very blessed to have a property we can share with others.

Why they chose this property

Pure Colorado. The property feels secluded but still close to civilization!

What makes this property unique

The Irish Rose has 10 acres of total seclusion with pine, aspen, a river, and amazing views. Many houses on the internet may look similar, but very few properties give you the total Colorado experience. It also comes with a "whole house" generator so you do not need to worry about the risk of power outages that can occur at other secluded mountain vacation homes! Look at our guestbook and see that it will be a unique and memorable experience!
