A fabulous snowy experience

We enjoyed our time as a family in the midst of all the snow in a beautiful, secluded and very well kept cabin. We are grateful for the opportunity and plan to return!

Great Stay!

Overall, great stay! Greg was amazing at communicating with us. The check in and out process was smooth and efficient. Great location with few to no neighbors. Dishwasher needs a little work as it didn’t clean the dishes well and we had to re-wash everything by hand. There were dirty dishes in the cabinet and we had to wash everything before use, but I think they were in the dishwasher and then put up without being inspected. Other than that, it was great to see the wildlife and explore the property. The pool table was a great addition! Would recommend to others!

Nice place

Place is lovely and remote. But there are things we were very unhappy with. We stayed M-F morning, we couldn’t get the grill to stay lit, beds were very uncomfortable and hard. Found Cobb webs through the house and the fridge/freezer wasn’t working. Our groceries/food went bad we bought to have or if we had leftovers from eating we couldn’t keep in fridge. The freezer wouldn’t freeze. We were there M-F sent someone out Thursday to work on fridge but did no good since we left next morning. So I was out $100 of groceries that went bad and never got accommodated for since their fridge was bad. Just would’ve been nice to reimburse us since it’s their responsibility to make sure their stuff is working properly before guests show up

Moose haven review

The place was nice and homey, with pretty views but there were some issues, beds were stiff and bathrooms showers had no soap for bathing. First place I ever stayed in without body wash or soap. Bbq grill has direct gas line connected but the flame was so small and the slightest breeze made it useless , we had to use the oven. The fire pit as well had no strength in the flame could not light up high enough to keep u warm in 20 degree weather. The fire place has a lever that hangs down to control the out flow of air through the chimney that is so sensitive it was difficult to keep in open position, there were a few times while using the fireplace we got smoked out and had to open all the doors to circulate air because the lever would fall and shut the vent. Also there was no dry firewood inside the house but only some wet bundles on the side of the house which is pretty useless, so bring your own. Aside from that the place was nice, kitchen was stocked, tvs in every room, and pool table was fun.

Beautiful, Peaceful Retreat

Beautifully outfitted, down to lamps and towel holders in the Moose theme. We sat in the hot tub while two moose were grazing 100 feet away for an hour. Earlier that day, the same moose cow and calf (presumably) and a male with a huge set of antlers had been in the same spot. Super quiet and peaceful. Communication and interaction with property managers was excellent. Road was fine for two-wheel drive in early October. We did have a little snow one day. Aspens were glorious. Plenty of cookware, dishes, etc. Our boys loved the billiard table. Nice walking nearby if you don't want to hike the mountains and just relax instead.

Cozy quiet cabin

Our stay at Moose Haven was wonderful. The amenities were perfect. Lots of wildlife stopped by to say hi like a couple of moose, birds, etc. Only about 10 minutes from town in case you need to grab anything quick from the grocery store too. Overall just a fantastic experience!

Nice older cabin/house for a family to stay. You turn on mosquito gulch road and there is a reason why they call it mosquito gulch 😆 Close drive to Breckenridge It was a nice place and our family made lots of memories!

Bed bugs & no wifi

Half of my party was infected with bed bugs during and after our stay. During our stay we had no contact to anyone trying to call us. The wifi was dropping out every few minutes, and the service was unstable the entire duration of our visit. Overall l, the house was nice. I wish it was cleaned more thoroughly. I am very disheartened and anxious about the bed bugs infesting my home through my clothing I brought on the trip with me.

Beautiful Home - be prepared for rustic

The home is exactly as advertised. Remote. Clean. Accessible to the beautiful Colorado area. Just a few items to note that we wished we knew before renting: We had no phone service. Texting was limited and the only way to reach the property management company was through email. It was great to be disconnected but phone service was expected. The environment is amazing so much that lots of mice wanted to enjoy the house too! We caught 6 throughout our stay. The management company was responsive to providing more traps but sharing our food with mice on the kitchen counters or having them run across the fireplace hearth while we played games at night was not expected or enjoyable. The property is gorgeous. We had moose and deer in the yard multiple times. The hot tub is clean and well kept. We loved using it every day. The only consideration is the cover is difficult to manage and store while in use. We like to take care of others property and the lack of space to store the cover was a repeat consideration and concern.

Everything was so convenient!

The Moose Haven cabin provided an awesome week long stay in Colorado. It has such a great layout-our older boys loved the downstairs to themselves. It was well stocked to cook any meal. They had everything you need in a basket to start a cozy fire. And we loved the location-close enough to Breck yet nestled in the woods and secluded. We didn't see any wildlife but it was probably just too cold. We absolutely loved our stay!
