Things to note:

🛑 Must be 28 years or older to book.
🌐 Bookings accepted 12 months in advance; inquire for later dates.
🐾 A $100 pet fee will be separately billed.
🌨 4x4 or AWD recommended from October through May.

Wonderful Cabin

Great location and very relaxing. We enjoyed the wraparound deck, hot tub and pool table. The fenced in area for our dog was terrific. Easy drive to Breckenridge. The grocery store in Fairplay had everything we needed. Any questions we had were swiftly answered by the host. We saw Moose a few times. Would absolutely stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay. The house was very well stocked, maybe the best stocked place we've ever stayed. We appreciated the owner thinking of even the smallest details like providing treats for our puppy. The view was really nice and the location was good. We would definitely return.

Cabin in the woods!

Overall, a good experience renting this cabin...... it was slightly off the Golden road but was as described. Loved the cabin & had a great time. Ice dispenser did not work & internet was a bit choppy in the bedrooms but overall had a great time & was as described, would recommend to friends!

Sweet, quiet getaway

We were instantly wow’ed upon our arrival at Gold Pan! The attention to small details that mean a lot was the best we have ever seen and we have stayed at a lot of vrbo’s. Condiments, creamer, coffee, different ways to make coffee upon preference, hot tub, pool table, an Alexa, a dog door, a fenced dog area, a heater, fan, humidifier in each closet, shampoo, conditioner, body wash and lotions and crate and barrel dishes. All the touches of home away from home. It was also a lot cleaner than any other dog friendly house we have stayed at. This was top notch without feeling stuffy. We enjoyed the VERY quiet neighborhood. We walked around and enjoyed the area with the dogs as well. We will definitely be back.

Last minute vacation

We rented this house on short notice, but was a great trip. House is big clean and well stocked. Tina was very easy to work with. My family came out to ride our side by side on the national park trails and we were not disappointed. Easy access to town and trail heads. Also being able to bring our dog was a plus. The house had a dog door and fenced yard which was nice not to have to worry about her. We saw animals and had a gear view from the deck.

Staycation

My girlfriend and I wanted to plan a little getaway but stay in CO, we found Valley of the Sun and it was great because they also accepted dogs and had a fenced yard which was a plus for us because we wanted to bring our pups along too. We had a great time, the cabin was comfortable and clean and perfect location for us to go spend some time in Breckenridge and then come back and play some pool and grill outside. Overall we had a great time, and would love to book this cabin again!
