Haus Bergwald is nested away up the mountain, near the slopes and Peaks Trailhead (while it's only 1.5 miles from town, it's a ~15 minute drive with the switchbacks).
The house is a blast from the 80s, only in good ways. The design, the boombox...all of it just feels like that era. The decor is pleasant and bright.
The layout is awesome for kids. A basement that's perfect for a playroom, lots of bathrooms and a fun loft meant our kids always had a place to play and be loud while the adults could still have relative peace.
The open living room and kitchen space was a huge plus for our large group, in addition to the deck and hot tub space.
Downsides:
- Long trips to Breckinridge (relatively)
- Moths. There were SO many moths. When we first arrived, there was a pungent smell of mothballs in the house. Turns out, there was also still moths and they were everywhere. We captured or killed 30 or so moths within the first evening. They were a pretty decent nuisance at first, but we grew to mostly ignore them. This may be pretty normal for houses there, but it was definitely surprising and unpleasant. I will, however, take them over mosquitos. But yeah, it would be nice if the renters had done something about all of the moths before we came.
- It has a king bed listed, but alas - no king bed in the house. Not a huge deal, but the listing should probably be updated to reflect that accordingly.
