About this property

Secluded, dog-friendly mountain getaway with amazing views and huge deck!

Enjoy mornings relaxing on the large deck with your first cup of coffee or evenings gazing at the stars! The dog-friendly house sits on a sloped wooded acre allowing you to get away from it all and feel the solitude of the mountains any time of year. Find stunning views looking north to Mount Buckskin, Mount Bross, Mount Silverheels and Palmer Peak.

At approximately 2,200 sf, the open floorplan gives you the opportunity to reconnect with family and friends in one space. The upper level features a vaulted ceiling in the open living, dining and kitchen areas. The spacious and well-equipped kitchen includes a pantry stocked with cooking staples. A large island with granite countertop provides extra bar seating for three. Or, choose to cook outside using the BBQ grill on the upper deck that wraps two sides of the house. In winter, snuggle in and enjoy the gas fireplace and gather at the large dining table (seats 8) to enjoy a hearty meal.

The lower level has a connected two car garage so you can unload gear and groceries indoors and keep your cars out of the weather when overnight snow sets the stage for a powder day at Breckenridge, only 30 minutes away. Also downstairs, a family room with big screen television, game table, and a gas stove is perfect for sports games or movie nights.

There are two bedrooms on the upper level. The first is an enormous primary with king size bed and ensuite bath with double vanity. The second bedroom has a queen bed and additional nearby full bathroom. The third bedroom with another king-sized bed is on the lower level along with the third full bathroom. Additional sleeping options include a pull-out queen size sleeper sofa in the lower-level family room and a fold down futon (XL twin) in the primary bedroom. High quality pillows and bedding are provided.

Need to work remotely? There are desks, desk chairs, 32" computer monitors, keyboards and mice in each king bedroom. The Wi-Fi was recently upgraded to Starlink, which is the fastest available in the area.

Three exterior cameras provide security for the property, and cover the doors and entryways on the lower level. Keypad entry provided through a side door on the garage.

CAUTIONARY NOTES:
1. This property is a remote mountain escape, and the drive includes 10 minutes on winding Park County maintained gravel roads, which can be slick in winter. FOUR-WHEEL (4X4) or ALL-WHEEL DRIVE (AWD) IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THROUGHOUT THE YEAR AND IS REQUIRED IN WINTER MONTHS (NOV-APR.). The driveway up to the house is steep, and a plow service clears the driveway after snowstorms.

2. The house sits at almost 11,000 feet above sea level, which can cause altitude sickness for those traveling from lower elevations. ALLOW TIME TO ADJUST GRADUALLY IN MID-ELEVATIONS, SUCH AS DENVER, AND DRINK PLENTY OF WATER.

Magnificent mountain views

We hit the jackpot with this house. Everything was even better than we hoped it would be. Nicole went the extra mile with all the amenities, furnishings and appliances. While my dog and I settled in upstairs for our month long visit, my friend set up her home office downstairs. The mountain views were spectacular along with moose and deer sightings. We are hoping to go back next year for several months.

Excellent Property for a Summer Stay

Our family had a fabulous time here. The kitchen was well appointed with enough high quality cookware, plates, glasses, utensils, etc. to serve food to an army. A few not-too-busy hiking trails are less than a mile away along with good access to Breckenridge over Hoosier Pass. But the views are so nice you might not want to leave! Would definitely stay again.

A beautiful house in a beautiful location. Most places, the house doesn’t live up to the pictures you see online. Here, however, the house is exactly what you see online and maybe even more. Will be back next time we’re in the area.

End of successful school year celebration!

Cabin leaves you with no wants. Everything is provided that guest would need. Loved the seclusion and peacefulness, yet close enough to enjoy Breck without all the crowds. We plan to be back again soon! Thank you for the memories created this trip!!

Husky Mountain Escape exceeded my expectations for a "dog friendly" rental! This is a gem rental and felt like a luxury hotel in many ways - from the thoughtful amenities to the beautiful and comfortable furnishings! My four-legged companion loved the treats and sunning on the deck watching the squirrels. Thank you to the hosts for providing such a wonderful retreat! I hope to return!

Beautiful Home in Peaceful Surroundings

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. As previous reviewers have mentioned this home comes with all the amenities that anyone could possibly need. The location is remote enough to not notice the neighbors, while also still being close enough to town to allow for an easy trip to either Fairplay or Alma to grab coffee or lunch. The owner was easy to communicate with and was always quick to respond to any and all questions. She was also very accommodating to our check-in requests. We spent hours relaxing on the deck, and we enjoyed being able to use the grill to make dinner each night. Overall, the home was a very comfortable place to call home for the week. We would definitely stay again.

Wonderful mountain getaway

One of the best properties my husband and I have stayed at! Everything is immaculate and so well thought out. Close to lots of hiking, but yet feels remote where you can’t see neighbors and gives you a sense of seclusion. Would highly recommend booking and definitely hope to come back!

We LOVED the Husky Mountain Escape!

The home was very clean and the bedding was super comfortable. The interior is a good blend of modern and mountain rustic, not at all kitschy cabin decor. It was fully stocked with everything we needed. When we had questions the hosts were super responsive and helpful. Everything exceeded our expectations! This home is stunning! We will be back for sure! Thanks for making it a pet friendly home!!

Beautiful mountain home!

We loved this property. It is close enough to Breck for skiing and restaurants/shopping, while also providing the quiet and views we were looking for. Our dog loved playing in the snow here! The house itself is very nicely appointed with quality amenities, plus special touches for dog owners. As a person who vacations often with our pets, it is not often that we find a property that allows pets that is also 5 star. We would definitely stay again!

Amazing winter getaway

The house was wonderful. It seemed like it was brand new and even better than the pictures. There was plenty of space for six people and a dog. Loved having all the little extras like toiletries and dog treats. Especially loved the duvets! Bonus in having the two cat garage so we didn’t have to dig the truck out of the snow. Definitely need the four wheel drive to get up the driveway, but worth it for the views.

The Perfect Stay

This property was absolutely incredible. It’s even more impressive in person than it is in the listing. It was clean, cute, and comfy. Being able to bring our pups was a huge plus. It’s stocked with everything you might need. Nicole was also a lovely host. It’s close to FairPlay and not too far from Alma. We drove back and forth to Breckenridge to ski as well and it wasn’t a bad drive at all. I definitely recommend staying here!!!
