About this property

Pet Friendly, Mountain Views, Near Fishing, Skiing and Hiking - Con Alma

Con Alma is just a mile and a half off of Highway 9 going to Breckenridge. This gorgeous 2 bedroom and 2.5 bath home is just 15 miles from Breckenridge and a short walk from the Platte River. The home has an intimate living area with a sofa sleeper, flat screen TV and a cozy wood stove. There is a rocker by the wood stove to warm up and relax in. The modern kitchen has granite countertops and stainless appliances with custom pine cabinetry. A gorgeous new balcony porch off the second main level is the perfect spot to look over the river, wildlife and mountains surrounding.

Upstairs the master bedroom has a king size bed and master bath with walk-in shower, jacuzzi tub, 2 sinks. The laundry is also on this floor with a stack-able full size washer and dryer. The walk-in closet is large enough to have someone sleep in there if they wish. There is a deck off of the master bedroom looking down the valley at the mountains and river. The second bedroom is on the main level, it has a full size bottom and twin size top bunk beds. If you have your best friend with you, there is a dog door, into the enclosed yard from this room. The bathroom on this level has a walk-in shower to help relax after a day of hiking, skiing or fishing. The entrance has a bench to take off your outdoor clothes and shoes, with a 1/2 bath close to get in that emergency bathroom break.

Some of the day trips you can take from the home include going to the Victorian town of Breckenridge where you can ski and snowboard at the world class resort. They offer ice skating, snow tubing, an alpine slide, mountain biking, a gold coaster, lots of unique shops and great dining. The best white-water rafting in Colorado is found on the Arkansas River just 45 miles away. The cute ghost town of St. Elmo is very close too. You can visit and feed the chipmunks and watch the 100's of hummingbirds in the summer. This is a popular hiking and ATVing location. Many of the famous 14'ers surround the home and Fairplay where you can hike or climb to the top. The offer some of the most amazing trails in Colorado.

If you are interested in going to the Colorado Springs area, it is only 90 miles away. You can visit Garden of the Gods and Royal Gorge in one day trip. I recommend going to Florissant Fossil Beds in Florissant which is only about 60 miles away. If you like to fish, the Platte River is right by the home and offers Gold Medal Fishing. Montgomery Reservoir, Lake Jefferson, Antero Reservoir, Spinney, and Eleven Mile Lakes are also very close. It is also a hunting paradise if you have a license. Horseback riding is just 10 minutes from the home at the South Platte Ranch. They have awesome day trips and evening steak rides.

This home is accessible in every season as it is a short driveway and off of a main county road with easy access to Highway 9 in the winter months. Whatever your favorite activity is, you can be assured of a memorable and fun vacation whatever activity you choose!

Quiet with Beautiful Scenery
The cabin was clean, very comfortable and well stocked with towels. Had a small issue with dishwasher, but owners were prompt to respond and get it fixed. Everything around the cabin was very quiet, scenery was beautiful, and there's a large variety of things to do within a short drive.

Absolutely beautiful place to stay!
This was the perfect, cozy cabin for a weekend getaway! It's the perfect balance between privacy in the mountains and not being too far from surrounding little towns! The views were unforgettable. The house was clean and roomy. We couldn't have asked for better weekend in CO!

Great quick trip
Great quick fishing and hiking trip with my brother. Love the location. Would highly recommend, especially if you want to be a little bit away from Breck and in the mountains, but close enough to run in for dinner if you choose too.

Wonderful spot
We had a great weekend at Con Alma. There were 4 of us and it was the perfect size. We were close to a bunch of hikes and not too far from Breckenridge. Our dogs had a great time as well - the fenced in yard was perfect! Great weekend getaway!

Mountain Hide Away
The house was very nice and up high in the mountains. We saw deer and it was close to towns for shopping or tails for walking. Also close to mountain passes to drive and see more wild life. Kitchen was equiped to cook if you don't want to eat out.

Beautiful spot out in the mountains. Loved the views and layout of the cabin. Great yard and an awesome pet friendly spot. There's some clear wear and tear with items like extra bedding and the dishwasher that were a bummer, but overall would stay here again.

CO Alma Fall
Great location! Comfortable home base. Adequate cooking amenities. Quiet, surrounded by open space. Views of 14ers-Lincoln Mt, Mt Bross & Quandary Peak. Glorious aspen fall colors! Stroll to Alma State Wildlife Area & headwaters of Middle South Platte River, loaded with small Brook Trout eager to grab dry flies. A huge Bull Moose ambled through the area! Red Fox sighted a couple of times at the house. Several good hikes nearby - especially Mohawk Lakes & McCulough Gulch Trails. Breckenridge, Frisco & Silverthorne offered amenities. Prathers grocery store was nearby in FairPlay & very good. Otto's food truck & Hoozier Daddy liquor store in Alma were very good. Amazing fly fishing on North Fork South Platte River with North Fork Ranch Guide Service! Buena Vista, Leadville & Turquoise Lake were enjoyable day trips.
