This was a wonderful place to stay. The cabin was very welcoming and the views are breathtaking! The host was very helpful and provided everything we needed for our stay! It was only a 20min drive to Breckenridge but gave us a quiet place to end our day.

It was an amazing experience overall. The views were spectacular from almost every point of the house. Location was very conveniently close to the major attractions we went to. Also they came to check on us during our stay which gave us ease of mind. We will definitely book again in the future.

Fantastic Views, Atmosphere, Overall Stay
My family (wife and 2 younger boys) absolutely LOVED our stay! As many other guests have pointed out, the views are absolutely fantastic, and having the windows open to listen to the babbling brook was icing on the cake. The house was very well-stocked, and plenty of room. We already are planning a trip to come back next year. Fantastic!

Perfect getaway just outside Breckenridge
Simply put, this is a stunning cabin! There were a total of 7 of us that stayed and we all unanimously vote this cabin and its location as one of the very best in the area. If the majestic surroundings aren't enough, there's also plenty inside to stay entertained. None of us wanted to leave. I'm very thankful for the heads-up on the need for a 4WD/AWD vehicle, which was really only needed for the driveway, nonetheless it was a pro-tip that kept us all safe.

Colorado Getaway
My family enjoyed our stay so much we're wanting to return again soon. It has everything you want in a Colorado getaway. The house is nestled amongst pine and aspen trees with a meadow allowing for amazing views of some the tallest mountains in CO. The large windows, sun room and spacious balcony are perfect for watching birds or the occasional deer that wander across the meadow. Native plants and wildflowers highlight the property. This owner built home is a true CO jewel.

Secluded with great view
Wonderful 2 story 'log cabin' home. It’s feels very secluded and has great views. Kitchen has plenty of cookware/tableware. Master bedroom is upstairs and ensuite. Second upstairs bedroom/office is small and next to the other upstairs bathroom. Basement has the other 2 bedrooms (one with full sized washer & dryer), a 3rd full bathroom, and game-room. If you go in winter, a 4WD vehicle is a must, and you need to be comfortable driving in hardpack snow, inclines, and tight turns. There is no cell phone service at this location, and the Internet does not support cellular Wi-Fi calls/text (WhatsApp works fine though) Note that this is the owner’s primary residence, so they might drop by every few days. We are not accustomed to this (when we rent homes). So, if you have children let them know - as an unexpected door knock can be disturbing in a remote mountain location.

Peace, Quiet, and Beauty
The only reason Mary and Brian didn't have to evict us after our 9 day stay was because we had a four legged roommate who had to be picked up from her spa in Ohio before the cost of her stay exceeded ours. In a word: spectacular. This home is special and the views, peace, and quiet have to be seen and not heard to be believed. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Thank you, Mary and Brian, for sharing your wonderful home with us.

A beautifully crafted and appointed cabin home to enjoy as part of your vacation. It is not just a place to stay. Brian and his wife have created such a special home AND are willing to share it with us. It virtually lacks nothing. Such a wonderful stay. Thanks for your hospitality.

Gorgeous Location
The location of this property can't be beat! The view is incredible and the sound of the babbling brook as we fell asleep was a real treat. The home is beautiful and had plenty of space for 6 adults and a toddler. The last few miles of the drive are on a rough dirt road and there is no cell service so make sure you have a map loaded or know exactly where you are going.

About the host

Hosted by Mary Guilfoyle

Host profile image
My name is Brian and I am an interior trim carpenter, professional woodcarver, and artist. My wife Mary, is a school teacher. We have lived in Breckenridge for over 25 years before building our dream home in Placer Valley, where the aspens and streams meet the sky. If you are looking for knowledge on the best local trails, during your next adventure, come see us. We are both avid mountain bike/back country skier type people and I personally would love to show you the way. Please don't hesitate to call for any info.

Why they chose this property

It's incredibly peaceful! It is close to all the activities that we love as well as Breckenridge. In addition, we have a large downstairs rec room with a beautiful pool table and a foos ball table certainly to entertain the kids as well as the adults. A large screen tv center and board games round out our rec. area. The walk-out basement leads out to our stream side fire pit a great for roasting marshmallows and a easy walk down to the valley floor gets you to some great fly fishing and hiking around beaver ponds in the Alma state wild life area.
