About this property

Custom Log Home in quiet Blue River 7 minutes from downtown Breckenridge

This is our own home away from home and has everything you're looking for in a mountain getaway. This log cabin style home was built in 2004 with boundless charm and ambiance. The main floor has an open floor plan, great for family gatherings with an exceptionally well-equipped kitchen, dining area and living room. A 1/2 bath is located off the kitchen. The first floor large master bedroom has a queen bed, walk-in closet and its own private full bath attached with a whirlpool tub/shower. Upstairs is a loft for additional sleeping space or for the kids to play, a 2nd large bedroom with a queen bed, and a 3rd bedroom with two sets of bunk beds. A full bath with a bathtub/shower is located upstairs as well. The wraparound deck is spacious and the perfect evening gathering place for stargazing and storytelling. Countless hiking trails are nearby, including some within the neighborhood. The ski lifts at the base of Peak 9 are only a 7-8 minute drive away. Free parking at the Ice Rink is less than 7 minutes away (with quick shuttle buses to each of the bases), and the main parking lots for the gondola are 10 minutes.

In 2020, we removed our VRBO listing due to increased listing costs and instead listed exclusively with that other vacation rental site (where we still have our cabin listed). In April 2025, we renewed our VRBO listing, so that is why there is a large gap in our reviews. On that other site, we have over 294 reviews and have a 4.96 rating out of 5.00. We encourage you to check out those reviews.

About the host

Hosted by Mark Gross

Host profile image
Mark and Patty Gross welcome you to enjoy our vacation home. We live in the Chicago area with a love of this area and its extraordinary summer and winter offerings. Mark can't get enough skiing, while Patty, can't get enough hiking. We both enjoy strolling in town, shopping, grabbing a drink and app in the afternoon and occasionally dining out when we're too exhausted to cook ourselves. We have two daughters, a son-in-law and two young granddaughters with whom we love to share the joy of this great home!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this quintessential Rocky Mountain log home as soon as we saw it, and the original owners maintained and furnished this home as their second home, full of family touches which we have continued. We live in the Chicago area, but our trips to Breckenridge to ski in the winter and hike in the summer became more and more frequent, and we wanted to find something just like this to share with our adult children and their families in the years to come. In the meantime, we intend to share it with other families like yours to help defray some of the cost of living this dream.

What makes this property unique

This is not a typical rental property with scratchy linens, tinny silverware, lumpy or saggy beds, cheap kitchen appliances, disposable furniture and beer-soaked carpets. This was, and will remain, a home used by our family for our own vacations and getaways to build life-long memories. We hope that you will see and appreciate this and treat it the same way so that when you return year after year (as do many of our previous guests), it will have the same feel and comforts as you remember from the last time you stayed with us (although you might notice some upgrades from year to year, such as new furniture, mattresses, appliances, and paving the driveway).
