I can't say enough good things about my family's amazing stay at Kathleen and Pete's Family Cabin. Where do I even start?
Once the cabin was booked, Kathleen was extremely communicative and willing to answer any/all questions. She would even go out of her way to provide advice and suggestions.
My family drove in from Texas for our first-ever winter holiday together (we are typically the beach/city type). We were AMAZED from the time we saw the cabin from afar to when we explored the cabin for the first time.
SO WHAT MAKES THIS CABIN SO PERFECT?
- Layout: This custom cabin really has the perfect layout. Multiple open spaces for congregating whether it be the kitchen, the main living room, the loft, or the game room.
- Amenities: Holy Moly...they are endless. Heated Floors (a must during the winter!), game room with shuffleboard, darts, and foosball, snowshoes for exploring the wilderness, entertainment (music and tv/netflix), well-stocked kitchen for cooking, hot tub, grill, and the list goes on. And everything is CLEAN!
- Views: The cabin is situated at the top of the neighborhood so you have unspoiled views of the mountains. It is also butted up to a national forest which is unspoiled and beautiful to hike through.
- Proximity to town: Breckenridge is only a short 8 minute drive and relatively flat (no passes or mountains to cross).
- Communication from the owner: Kathleen includes a binder filled with all the information you need to know to make your stay an enjoyable one. Everything from grocery stores, to activities, to restaurants, to house rules, etc.
IMPORTANT TO NOTE:
- During the winter, you must have snow chains or snow tires. There really is no way to get up to the cabin and then up the steeper driveway to the cabin. (Kathleen informed us about this beforehand)
- They have snowplowers come every so often. However, depending on the day/amount of snowfall, you might have to plow the driveway yourself in order to get up it.
- If you're from a sea-level city, be prepared for the elevation change. We had BOOST Oxygen canisters that helped a lot.
A big thanks to Kathleen and her family for allowing us to stay in their cabin to ring in the 2021 New Year. Our family created memories of our own and we couldn't have asked for a better host and place to stay.
