On the main floor there is a master bedroom about 12x10 with a queen bed directly across from the bath room. The upstairs bedroom is large 21X14 foot loft. There is enough sleeping in the upstairs bedroom for 2 persons - Two twin beds. One full bed. One queen bed: an open dorm setting. All but one twin beds are high/good quality and nearly new.
This very pleasant home is located four miles south of 'Breckenridge'. Situated in a wooded riverside setting on one acre, 'cross country skiing' is right out of the front door on the riverfront down stream one mile to a private lake. All private property.
In summer a bike path begins just a few hundred yards from the home and allows biking to Breckenridge, 'Copper Mountain', and 'Vail'. The home is privately owned and managed by the owner. The home is kept very clean and well supplied. If you are seeking value and lodging that will get you away from the hassles of the main resort this is the place for you. 'No Pets' allowed and 'No Smoking' allowed please.

This is exactly how I imagine vacation destination. A little off the "hustle and bustle" of Breckenridge, but not too far away (about 5 minute drive). A quiet spacious cabin in the wooded area.
Ed and his cabin built with his own hands both have a lot of character. If you don't know that Ed is a serious fisherman before you get there, you'll be reminded by the wall paper, table lamps, bedsheets, many momentos on the walls and the fishing rods hanging under the timbers.
The place has high ceilings, comfortable beds, a wall of windows and I found myself just looking around the place often just taking it in.
From his front door I could make it to Brecks parking lots in about 10 minutes.
Ed was a great host and I hope to come back soon.
My family and I truly enjoyed the home/cabin. Its location to the town of Breckenridge is very close and made our daily. commute very easy.
The host was wonderful and helpful in all area. We will be back in the future! (The house was also very clean and comfortable.
Was given very detailed instructions for arrival and departure. Pictures online don’t do this cabin justice it was adorable. Close to everything! Had an amazing time with my family!

The best of two world
For a 2 week stay in Breckenridge area our first week was in Alma 20 min from Breck. (A bit far on a powder day to be quite honest) Then we move to this amazing property. Entering the property we felt like home right away. The oldschool furniture and the huge slow Burning stove were enough to put a big
Smile on our face. The property is beautiful and 5 minutes away from downtown Breckenridge.
From pots and pans to spices it's well furnished. Beds are super comfortable!
I'll return next year with pleasure!

Wonderful clean family cabin near Brekenridge!
My wife and I visit Brek each year with another couple to ski. This year we used homeaway to book our trip and found this cabin. I don't believe that the pictures do this cabin justice. The family that owns this cabin has done a wonderful job stocking and caring for it. The living areas of the cabin seem much larger in person than in the pictures and the property is absolutely beautiful. The owner did a wonderful job answering any questions we had prior to our trip and after we arrived he gave us a call to make sure that we were settling in ok. This cabin would be perfect for families or couples going skiing or exploring the area. It is only 5 minutes from town and the ski lifts and provides a great atmosphere for entertaining. During our time there we visited Brekenridge, Keystone, and Arapahoe Basin. Brekenridge is a short 5 minute trip and Keystone and Arapahoe were both within 30 minutes. We loved the cabin so much that we spent most of our nights cooking dinner, playing games, and having a drink or two. The only thing that this cabin does not have is washer/dryer and a television. (During our trip we hung our gloves/clothes above the wood stove and it dried them out very quickly.) We would highly recommend visiting Brekenridge, Mi Casa restaurant and Eric's pizza.

What a find!
My husband and I were skeptical of this cabin because there were no online reviews, and it has been listed for quite some time. Ironically, once we booked the cabin and were settled in there, I read two guest books full of wonderful reviews of this place!
The cabin is on a beautiful setting close to the slopes. We stayed during a big cold spell in the winter, and the cabin was quite warm. We were able to use the wood from the huge woodpile on the property to build a fire in the wood burning stove at night, once my toddler was sleeping. On a side note, it might be helpful to bring a portable baby gate if you are traveling with a little one, so you can block them from accessing the stairs to the loft. Also, although we brought our own, a practically new pack n' play was provided at the cabin.
The kitchen is very well stocked with all the cookware you would need including a pantry of some staples if you should get snowed in. There are also a variety of board games, books, magazines, and a stereo to keep you entertained. Although at the time of writing this review, the listing shows that there is cable tv and wireless internet, there is NONE! But, if you are looking for a relaxing get away, you won't miss it.
Lastly, you can tell that the owners of this cabin take great pride in their property. They also provided us with a detailed list of tips and info in regards to this cabin and were prompt to communicate with us. So if you are looking for a charming place to stay, I highly recommend this cabin. Hope to be returning there again soon!
