About this property

Perfect for Couples, Beautiful Views & Decks, Fireplace - Crimson Cabin

Crimson Cabin is the ideal mountain top homebase for all of your Colorado adventures! Awaken to incredible mountain views while enjoying the quiet seclusion of being tucked among the ridge top pines.

This beautiful mountain house is located in the sunny and cheerful Valley Of The Sun, just North of Fairplay in Park County - only 26 miles from Breckenridge! This cozy 2 bedroom / 2 Bathroom home is family friendly or great for a romantic retreat. Secluded, on a mountain top property that offers beautiful views of the surrounding mountain ranges, Valley Of The Sun is home to a variety of wildlife and this spectacular location affords opportunities to observe Elk, Deer and Foxes (just to name a few!) right on the property. Additionally, the wetland area located less than 3 miles down the road from the home is one of the few areas where you may be able to see Moose in their natural habitat.

This cozy home offers a high alpine experience, featuring a 2 sided fireplace and open concept living room with comfortable seating and dining space at the bar, all accented with tasteful eclectic decor. The single story house offers a spacious master bedroom with a King size bed fitted with cozy comforters, luxury linens and a private ensuite bathroom. With its Bathtub/Shower combo, you can hop in for a quick refreshing shower after a warm summer day of hiking or you may choose to sink in for a long hot soak in the tub after a full day on the slopes. The smaller bedroom offers a small television and an oversized twin daybed fitted with a cozy comforter and luxury linens ensuring that you wake well rested and refreshed - ready for any adventure that a day in the Rocky Mountains may present. Step into the quaint and cheerful kitchen with stainless steel appliances, tidy counter space that is fully stocked with all the cooking, baking and serving dishes you will need to whip up a delicious meal and share it with your favorite people. The central bathroom offers full size fixtures, a corner shower and an adjacent utility closet with a washer and dryer - so no need to waste precious vacation time hauling dirty items to the laundromat.

The spacious ground level deck is a gorgeous relaxation space. Available on the deck for your enjoyment is a gas grill and outdoor dining table and chairs where you can drink in the mountain views along with your tasty morning brew.

The View Makes It A Good Stay

We spent three weeks at the Crimson Cabin. Location and view were beyond expectations. The views of the mountains are second to none and being above 11,000 feet was a great experience. We were within a mile of a couple of great trailheads. The cabin itself was adequate for our needs. But it does need updating. The carpet is worn, towels were older and well-used, curtain rod loose from wall, no screens on windows or primary deck door to name a few things. A few kitchen items needed to be cleaned before using them for cooking. We did some cleaning when we arrived and the Crimson Cabin met our needs. It was a good experience in the Alma/Fairplay area. We will return to that area for future vacations.

High Altitude

In disclosure and not in description is the elevation of 11,000 ft. Uncomfortable beds and couch. Dirty pillows. No one slept well. Lost electricity and cabin was not equipped with flashlights. Very dangerous.

We absolutely loved staying at the cabin. It was cozy, private, amazing view and gave us the winter trip feel we needed. My son absolutely loved that we were able to explore and enjoy the snow so close to the cabin.

Wonderful Getaway for Two

The perfect cabin for our fall getaway! With the exception of the living room couch, all accommodations were very cozy and comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped. The big sliding doors/windows made for breathtaking views. We very much enjoyed our 5-night stay!

Rocky Mountain Vacation

This was our first trip to Colorado. We booked our stay at Crimson Cabin based on location thinking that the central location of the cabin (in the state) would allow us to make day trips to Rocky Mountain National Park, Black Canyon of the Gunnison and Garden of the Gods. The view from the cabin itself is spectacular! The night sky is glorious! We even had a mama bear visit with her cub early one morning!!! The cabin itself had all the kitchen supplies we required (dishes). There was plenty of hand soap, towels, dish detergent, paper towels, etc. There was, however only one washcloth in the cabin when we arrived. Since my party consisted of three people and we paid for five nights, I immediately contacted the host. Though I did get a response, I never received any additional washcloths or an explanation that we were to bring our own. I did go back to review the description of the cabin. I couldn’t find anything listed about bringing your own washcloths. Each day spent in Colorado was amazing and exhausting! However, the nights were not restful. The beds in the cabin are very uncomfortable. The king-size mattress was hard and the two standard size pillows provided were subpar. My son slept in the second room and gave a similar review for that bed. Unfortunately, we lost the last night’s rent and opted to get a hotel room so we could bathe with a washcloth and get a good night’s rest before returning home.

Crimson Cabin

The cabin itself is nice. Well kept. Great views. Best for 2 adults and 2 kids or less. Vrbo pays attention to how many times you view a property and then raises the price. You also pay a cleaning fee, but they want you to do some "cleaning" before you leave.

Perfection in the Mountains

We had a wonderful time in the central Rockies! The property was very clean and well maintained, not to mention nicely decorated. Cooking utensils, bedding and towels all fine. We even enjoyed putting together a puzzle they had available on a rainy afternoon. Be prepared to drive on dirt roads. Great part of the country- great cabin!

Beautiful, secluded location

Great stay overall. I do wish there was a comfortable sofa and/or sitting chair in the family room. The sofa that's there feels more like a futon and is not comfortable. Loved the views. Was easy to get too. Had everything we needed. Would stay again. ** Note the altitude. It does advertise being a high altitude property, but it is up there, at 11,200+ ft. Some people might have issues with that. I'd recommend renting oxygen concentrator if this is an issue.

Great place. Fully stocked. Clean. Beautiful surroundings. Great price.

We were looking for a secluded place to unwind. Crimson Cottage was just that. Nestled in the forest but close enough to Breckenridge for shopping. FairPlay had great food and a great secondhand book store we purchased from. The road to the cabin is indeed 4 wheel. Gotta go slow but worth the bumps.
