A-frame with spectacular views of the Ten Mile Range
Welcome to BareNecessitiesBreck! This cozy A-frame, perched on a hillside just outside of Breckenridge, offers breathtaking views of the Ten Mile Range and Breckenridge Ski Resort. This unique mountain home has two separate living areas and an outdoor deck providing ample space to share with your family and friends. Relax in the hot tub and soak up the views! You'll have easy access to five of Colorado's iconic ski areas - Breckenridge, Keystone, Copper Mt, A Basin, and Loveland. In the summer, you can enjoy mountain biking trails, hiking, fishing, and boating at nearby Dillon Reservoir. Downtown Breckenridge is a quick three mile bike or drive, where you can enjoy excellent restaurants and shopping. There are a couple of video security cameras located in the front and rear of the home. Our guests are welcome to unplug these, we do ask that they reconnect them when they checkout. Please come and enjoy all that Summit County has to offer!
Beautiful house! Like other reviews have said- its MUCH bigger than it looks in the photos. The upstairs did get a bit warm for sleeping, but we just opened some doors to help cool it off.
We had a wonderful time, the house is very cozy and cute. It is bigger than it looks and slept 10 of us comfortably. Hot tub was great after a day of skiing! Only about 5 min to the slopes and downtown. James was a great host and very communicative. Would love to visit again!
We had a fantastic stay with a large group. We were worried the Aframe wouldnât be able to accommodate our group of 9 but we had plenty of room due to the loft bedroom upstairs and very large downstairs/basement. The hot tub the game room the cozy fireplace, everything was so comfortable. We brought our baby and had a pack and play to use and lots of kids books and kitchen ware- was very helpful! Two recommendations - if traveling in the winter, be sure you have four wheel drive and donât pull all the way into the driveway to avoid getting stuck - James was very communicative about the driveway and warned us ahead of time. Also, there were people there every day to shovel us out! The other thing is I recommend bringing a speaker if you like to have music , we forgot ours. Great stay and weâll definitely be back - thank you James!!!
This place is so cute and had so many nice amenities that made our stay absolutely wonderful! The host was super responsive and really accommodating! You wonât regret staying here!
This is our fourth time as a group of friends and families staying at this house. The proximity to downtown Breckenridge and local hikes is ideal. The hosts are welcoming and very responsive. This year, we stayed in early October and got to enjoy the view of the aspens changing right from the back deck.
This quaint A-frame home is just the cutest! The views of the mountains from the backyard deck were simply breathtaking. The hosts were very responsive to any questions that we had and made our stay feel like a home away from home. I would highly recommend!
We had simply the best weekend at this cute little house! Despite some craziness with car problems, we felt right at home the entire time we were here! The hot tub was awesome and the VIEW was AMAZING!!!!!! We will definitely be coming back. Thank you James for being so accommodating and communicative the entire time!
This A-frame had everything we needed and more! Breckenridge and Keystone were both easily accessible from this location. After a long day of skiing/snowboarding, we loved relaxing in the hot tub and enjoying beautiful views of the mountains. We hung out by the wood stove every night, making sâmores and playing games. The A-frame was super clean and cozy, with more than enough space for our seven guests. James and Debbie were excellent hosts! They were so helpful and accommodating throughout the process. We couldnât stop talking about how perfect this property is and would definitely stay here again!
This house is located just outside Breckenridge and was the perfect size for me and six family members to stay in during a recent ski trip. We enjoyed the hot tub and the beautiful view! We also were greeted with a nice gift bag of chocolate and coffee, and found the house well stocked in general, with plenty of towels and blankets. The owner warned us of the steep stairs down to the basement, and he wasnât kidding! Itâs quite a climb. We cooked for ourselves a few times and discovered the kitchen does not have a dishwasher. That didnât bother us much, but we wished we had brought aluminum foil, plastic wrap, and Tupperware. The only thing available for leftovers were Ziploc bags. A minor inconvenience, and overall the house and the trip were great!
This was my second time staying at the A Frame with a group of 11, and I'm sure I'll be back for a third! It is the best set-up for a weekend in Breckenridge.
James was an excellent host! He was so pleasant to work with and fast communication too. There was even a sweet little gift to welcome us! The house was perfect for our group! Very cozy but enough room for us to spread out. Having two separate entertainment areas was perfect. So many games to choose from, which kept us busy when on the blustery snow days. The kitchen was well stocked for all our cooking needs, they even had a crockpot. Very convenient to grab groceries, food, and drinks. The Broken Compass brewery was really close and a big hit. Then there was the view....sitting in the hot tub looking out on the mountains during the day or looking up at the beautiful night sky watching for shooting stars, so relaxing! We really could not have asked for a better place to stay. Highly highly recommend staying for your vacation!
*Side note - my only recommendation for future guests would be to bring a portable humidifier for your room, if you can. This does not reflect James or the house at all, this would apply to anyplace in this area; but if you are coming from an area that is not as dry, your sinuses will thank you.
We had a wonderful stay at James and Debbie's A-frame for a Christmas celebration with the extended family. This place is larger than it looks from the outside and we were comfortable with 11 people inside. The views from here are spectacular and we really appreciated the holiday decorations that were provided. This place made for a great place to retreat and reconnect with our family. James was very communicative and responsive to any needs we had.
A note for future guests: the stairs in this A-frame are quite steep. This wasn't an issue for us but for people with mobility issues this would likely be a problem.
Thanks again for a great stay!
If I could rate higher I would! This house was perfect for our family of 9! The location was great, just a few minutes from Main St and even had some space for the kids to play in the snow. The house was super clean and had everything we needed. The views were amazing! The hosts were extremely friendly and their communication was greatly appreciated.
We would definitely book this property again.
Jamesâ property was clean, as described, and with many very thoughtful touches. We had everything we needed for cooking, entertainment, relaxing, and more. Our group had a fantastic time and would definitely recommend this property.
