About this property

Exclusive 23-Acre Rocky Mtn. Retreat - Featured in a Music Video! Unforgettable

Discover an unforgettable Rocky Mountain retreat just south of Breckenridge, where Enrique Iglesias & JonZ chose to film their music video, capturing the beauty of this one-of-a-kind property. Our cabin is more than a place to stay—it's a destination for those seeking serenity, adventure, and awe-inspiring views at 11,000 feet.

Nestled on 23 private acres bordered by the pristine Pike National Forest, this true log cabin offers ultimate seclusion at the end of a tree-lined drive. Feel like you’re worlds away with fishing creek access, a serene pond, creeks and spectacular peak views in every direction—all with convenient access from a county road.
With ample space and breathtaking views, it's the perfect spot for family bonding or a romantic couple's getaway. Check out our reviews. :)

Our property is a paradise for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts, all with a cozy cabin to come home to after a day of exploration.

Wildlife Encounters: Spot moose, elk, fox, bear, mountain sheep, and even beavers from your deck.

Hiking & Fishing: Endless trails, on-site fishing, gold-panning and snowshoeing adventures await.

Adjacent Pike National Forest offers treed hillsides, scenic trails, moose habitats, and even a seasonal waterfall. You can even hike all the way to Mt. Sherman if you like.

Designed for comfort and charm, the cabin includes:
3 Bedrooms + Loft & 2 Bathrooms for family or group flexibility and a fully stocked kitchen.
Large Covered Deck: Wraps around three sides, providing panoramic mountain views and the peaceful sound of flowing water.
Private Gated Entry: The long driveway and gated entrance enhance your sense of seclusion and peace. Truly feels like you've got your own Rocky Mountain paradise.

Firewood for the wood stove is included along with propane for the gas grill and plenty of outdoor seating.

Perfectly Situated for Mountain Day Trips!
From the cabin, enjoy easy access to nearby attractions:
Breckenridge (35 mins): World-class skiing, snowboarding, and golfing.
Buena Vista (40 mins): Thrilling whitewater rafting on the Arkansas River, horse back riding or Hot Spring soaking.
Fairplay (Close by): Historic South Park, renowned trout fishing, ATV rentals and local amenities.

Altitude Notice: With the cabin’s high-altitude location (11K feet), guests should acclimate upon arrival. We recommend drinking plenty of water, limiting alcohol and caffeine, and taking it easy for the first day or two to ensure a comfortable stay. The whole area is high altitude with Breckenridge at 10K. If anyone in your group has been or may be affected by altitude, we recommend staying at a lower elevation.

Embrace the rare opportunity to stay in a setting so remarkable it was chosen for a music video. Mountain Creek Lodge is where cherished memories are made—surrounded by nature’s grandeur and the true spirit of the Rocky Mountains.

Reserve your next adventure today.

Amazing Location

My family and I spent the long Labor Day weekend at this fantastic log cabin in the mountains. What a beautiful and relaxing location. I could sit all day just looking out at the mountains and listening to the babbling Sacramento Creek that cuts through the property. The complete darkness of the night offers incredible star viewing.

Moose Alert

We had an absolute wonderful stay at this house. Everything is as advertised. It is in a remote and quiet place in the wilderness. Moose sightings everyday sometimes within 50-60 feet of the house or driveway. If you want to get away from the noise and traffic of the city, this is a place you should consider for sure.

This home exceeds expectations. The setting is incredible in both beauty and solitude. We saw over 40 different types of wildflowers when we hiked up the ridge and we enjoyed amazing views of the surrounding peaks. The house is well appointed and supplies. It a great getaway.

Thank you once again Monica and Charlie for opening your home up for guests to enjoy this fabulous property. No matter what weather surprises come our way, we always enjoy the solitude and spectacular views. Unfortunately, we saw no moose this time, but plenty of woodpeckers waking us up each morning. We'll be back again soon. Thanks again. Bill and Jill

Just Wow

We came into town early for a wedding in Denver and spent a few nights before here before heading down. This is the quintessential Colorado mountain home you imagined. High elevation in between two higher peaks with a trout stream and pond running through the property. Quiet and secluded but not hard to get to at all. The stars were amazing and even loved the early 8" of snowfall that quickly went away. About the only downside was we did not see the Moose that everyone else wrote about. We did many hikes around Hosier Pass, walked around Breckenridge and went horseback riding in the changing Aspens down towards Fairplay.

Beautiful & Isolated

This is a beautiful & isolated property. I did see a moose my first morning there but it took off before I could get a pic. Unfortunately, I didn't have any luck fishing on the property. But, adhere to the owner's recommendations: drink plenty of water and limit yourself as the altitude will get to you if you're not used to it.

About the host

Hosted by Monica Moody

Host profile image
While visiting family in the Breckenridge, CO area for summer and winter vacations, we fell in love with the area and decided it would be a wonderful place to own a second home. When we found this cabin, we knew it was meant to be. We were so mesmerized by the property and cabin, that we lost track of time and missed our plane home. We love how you feel when you're at the cabin. You're away from all the stresses of daily life without being isolated. The surrounding mountains and creeks and pond make it special. It's a place for us to reconnect with family and nature. And it doesn't hurt that there are so many fun things to do nearby!

Why they chose this property

What makes this property unique

Some of our favorite activities include packing a lunch and hiking right out the door and up Mt. Sherman. It is known as one of the easiest fourteeners and the views are amazing. There are various picnic tables and chairs and on a clear night, you can see the Milkyway. Horseback riding, ATV rentals, and white water rafting are all close by. Fishing and gold panning in the creeks and pond are a favorite with the men and kids. And there's a grocery store 10 minutes away with everything you'll need for the pantry and cooking on the grill. Our favorite places to eat in Fairplay are the Brown Burro Cafe (Delicious Mexican), cheese steaks at the Dinky Dairy and everything at Millonzi's. And let us not forget Breckenridge - 23 miles from the cabin door - has everything a resort town can offer. Skiing, golfing, biking, ice skating, shopping, restaurants, tours and events.... We love it all and think you will too!
