Great place
Everything was clean and the place was spectacular. We did have an awd vehicle and had to be pulled out of the drive way by a tow truck since we couldn’t get up the hill but that could be due to a rental car not having the best tires. But the host was very accommodating with a recommendation of who to call and very helpful. Would stay there again without a doubt.

Private, quiet and beautiful views!
We enjoyed our stay and were very happy with the layout of the house. PROs:- beautiful mountain home- quiet and privateCONs:- getting out of the driveway was challenging with an AWD SUV after snowplows cleared the road following a 4" snow. - Discovered there was no body wash or dishwasher soap once we used shower and dishwasher for the first time. - Ask for the house rules prior to your stay. We had to leave the property by 6am to catch flight at DIA and were instructed to have all towels and bedding washed and dried. Given the TOD, we were advised to use the speed wash which takes 15 minutes, something my minor germophobe tendencies doesn't embrace as a new guest.

High Altitude Getaway
It was very cozy little house and in a beautiful mountain neighborhood setting. Home was spotless and very well kept and supplied and was so much better than a hotel! I didn't realize how high up the home and town were! So if you aren't in good physical shape or have breathing issues I wouldn't suggest renting there. It was only 12 minutes to town so close enough to do a few times a day. Got to watch My Eagles Win their 2nd Superbowl there and was great starting at 430pm vs. 630pm back home. Highly recommend this home and love to see in summer! Owner was very helpful when ever needed.

Amazing stay!
We enjoyed every bit of our stay, and this was the perfect home base. It was easy to get into town for dinner, but also easy to escape for adventures. The neighborhood as a whole was quiet and relaxing. A great escape from ‘normal’ life.

Lovely Escape
We had a great stay at this cozy, charming little home! It is nestled in a pine forest in the mountains just south of Breckenridge, which gave us an opportunity to enjoy the busy town when we chose to, while also feeling like we had a true mountain escape in the wilderness! The views of mountains and a babbling brook from the wrap around deck are amazing and the hot tub is roomy and pristine! The kitchen is well stocked and larger for this size of home. The beds were the most comfortable we have ever experienced in a rental, complete with quality linens. Great hiking and gorgeous sight-seeing all around the area. Owner was helpful and easy to communicate with. We would stay here again.

Great location for remote activities.
Quiet neighborhood and beautiful view. Seemed to be so remote but actually very close and convenient to Breck and all that goes on there. We back country skied and snowshoed in the valley. This is the perfect location to get to Quandary Park and Hoosier Pass.

Fantastic!
La Barranca was such an amazing place to stay. The view of the mountains, wrap around deck, hot tub, fireplace, being tucked away surrounded by pine trees - it was perfect! My wife and I stayed for a week and it was truly lovely. Only a 10 minute drive into town as well.

Excellent rtay in remote, but close cottage
2 Couples had a great time in the mountains. The views were breathtaking and the proximity to town was perfect for our little group. The fireplaces around the home and the hot tub on the deck made it feel so cozy and warm. Was such a delight to be able to have our pups with us as well! Will definitely be looking to stay again!

Location was perfect for our summer getaway, easy access to hiking trails & town (when needed). Full of amenities for cooking/grilling. Loved sitting out on the deck in the evenings with the fire pit star gazing & listening to the mountain stream. Beautiful setting, exactly what we were looking for in our vacation rental!

About the host

Hosted by Dawn Landau

Host profile image
Avid skiers and outdoor enthusiasts, we love to play in the mountains during all times of the year. We own Environs Residential, a design/build construction company and spend most of our time in Atanta, GA. Terry, a native of Ohio, was a resident of Breckenridge for 18 years prior to moving east. Dawn, a native of Tennessee, has lived in Atlanta since 1988. We love to travel to exciting new places and always look for spots where we can enjoy the outdoors or city culture. In addition to playing outside, we love to cook, appreciate nice wine and entertain our friends and neighbors. Sharing our little slice of heaven in the mountains is especially enjoyable. We love the comments and photos our guests send us after their stay.

Why they chose this property

It took us 5 minutes in the house to decide to purchase it. A long-time friend of Terry's with whom we were having a beer a the local pizza joint, Fatty's, told us about it and drove us out to the place. Loving the location and of course the stream, we immediatley called another friend and realtor, Stephanie Epps, who got us in to see it the next day. We ended up buying the house along with both lots on either side! We love Valley of the Blue and our quiet street high above Hwy 9. The neighbors are great and the stars at night are magical.

What makes this property unique

Our mountain cottage is only 6 miles down Hwy 9 from Breckenridge. Far enough to have privacy and close enough for a trip to town for dinner. We love the serenity of the mountains, the stars at night from the hot tub and the views of Quandry Mountain from the deck and living room. It's small enough so that a couple can enjoy it to themselves without breaking the bank :-)
