About this property

Colorado Mountain Paradise-Constructed On 3 Sunny Acres

This gorgeous custom log home completed construction as of January 1, 2013. The beautiful slate floors, high vaulted ceilings, large windows, and state-of-the-art kitchen are just some of the high quality features. The great room has two-story windows to gaze at the white-capped mountains, stars, and beautiful views. The open concept of the great room, kitchen, dining area, and breakfast counter with a big screen LCD TV/DVD player makes this an ideal area for entertaining. Keep your car inside the attached 2-car garage for easy access in and out of the cabin. The home is tastefully decorated with Southwest décor, log accents and a pellet stove for warmth after that long day of skiing. The cabin is situated on the sunny side of Glacier Ridge so that you have views from every window in the home. The large wrap-around deck affords views of Colorado’s well known Fourteeners Lincoln, Bross and Democrat amongst the beautiful aspen, pine and massive blue sky of San Isabel National Forest. The Master Bedroom has a private balcony, queen bed and dressers, luxurious bath with rain shower head and big screen TV. Attached is the master loft with full length windows, couch with queen bed, sitting chairs, tables, desk, and telescope to view the crystal clear starry nights and mountain range. The main floor bedroom has a queen bed, dresser, and windows admiring the views both west and east. The third bedroom located on the lower level has a bunk bed with a Full Size top & bottom mattress and is a great set-up for kids! All of the rooms are tastefully decorated with plenty of room and comfort for the entire family including the dog. The game room features a foos-ball table, bumper pool table and comfortable black leather sectional couch for an evening of fun. The roads are county maintained but 4-wheel drive is highly recommended due to the weather conditions in this area. If you enjoy ATVing or snowmobiling, rentals and information are available from Fairplay to Breckenridge. Interested in snow skiing or snowshoeing? You can be on the slopes of Breckenridge Resort within 20 minutes or for a full day of skiing into the night, head on over to Keystone Resort. Copper Mountain and Vail Resorts are also another option that is easily accessible. There are several world-class fishing areas including Antero Reservoir, Spinney Reservoir, Eleven Mile Reservoir, and the Platte River. Thanks to our central location, you can take advantage of Colorado’s great outdoor activities, year round.

Mountain Retreat
Pictures dont give home justice, it is actually nicer in person. Has enough room for family and activities. It is well supplied, and kitchen was well stocked and clean. I would say the only complaint is the location and altitude. Location for us did not work, it is about 45 minutes to Breckenridge with the snow and traffic. The altitude also became a problem for my husband, he ended up in Urgent Care with Pulmonary Edema. So if you are one of those lucky individuals that can’t with the altitude this is definitely not for you. Which is a shame because house is beautiful especially in the winter!

Long Weekend Ski Escape
Beautiful home. Better than advertised. Great escape. Close enough to the action and just far enough away to enjoy some sought after solitude. Lovely home on some surreal property. Gracious and communicative host. Can't recommend the stay enough.

Alma House
Our stay was lovely and we really enjoyed this relaxing house. Just a couple of things of interest to note. The view is stunning all the way around the house. The living area on the main floor does get warm during late afternoon. It’s a great house for family to spread out and there is plenty to do and lots of games to play. Kitchen was great, and we loved watching the hummingbirds Drink from the feeder. We would come back for sure.

By far the best experience I've had staying in small Colorado mountain towns! Very close to Mt Princeton and Breckenridge. The home is jaw dropping beautiful, as well as the scenery. Thank you so much for allowing us to have a dream birthday getaway!

Stay here you won't be disappointed.
Fantastic value, superb management, great centralized location and everything you need or want close by. Outstanding for families, fully furnished and a wonderful experience. We spent 7 days here and did not want to leave. If you enjoy family and Colorado this is your place. Climbed a mountain, saw a concert, toured Denver and went to RMNP-amazing. Recommended with extreme enthusiasm.

This part of Colorado is truley paradise!
Our Family has vacationed to the Alma area three times now. Each of these times we have stayed in a wonderful residence that has made the vacation much more enjoyable and relaxing, this home was no exception to the rule. Easy access to all facets of social and recreational fun available here, within minutes from this residence. The view from the deck is all mountain!

Very nice cabin!
Nice location for off roading adventures and climbing 14ers. All three bathrooms are very nice and with 7 of us we used all three of them. We cooked at the cabin most meals and the kitchen is nicely equipped, the gas grill cooks well, and the dish washer is quiet. The mattress on the main level queen bed needs upgrading - sags to the middle. With 7 the eating area was crowded. The decks are enjoyable. We had a wonderful stay.

Log Cabin Luxury
This is a beautiful log cabin (house) with plenty of room for a large family. The wrap around porch was perfect for relaxing and enjoying a spectacular view of the sunset over the mountains. Breckenridge is less than 30 minutes away if you want tourist activities. Geocaches within a few miles will also take you to scenic locations you would be otherwise unlikely to see. We're looking forward to a return visit. p.s. Tami, the owner, great to work with.

The property was more beautiful than the photos could ever show. My family and I had a fabulous time hiking, shopping in Breckenridge and just relaxing. The cabin was very well maintained and very clean upon arrival. I would highly recommend this property and would go back any time. Everything that we needed was provided in the cabin. The owner was very easy to work with. She was gracious, accommodating and extremely helpful. Thank you so much for sharing your lovely cabin with us.

Beautiful Mountain Views
Gorgeous, peaceful, central location. Home is comfortable with all the things you need to relax and enjoy the views. We took several day trips to Breckinridge, Vail and BV. The general store in Alma is a must. Loved coming back to this log cabin home to sit on the porch, grill and enjoy the sunsets. We brought our dogs and they enjoyed the fresh outdoors! Please support Mr Burro for breakfast and lunch in FairPlay and head into town for unique shopping experiences. Sleeping under the cozy covers and waking up to the crisp morning air in the mountains make this beautiful home the perfect escape. Thank you for a memorable stay!

Charming Place
Took my parents, wife, 2 year old son, and two dogs to this wonderful home between Fairplay and Alma. This place felt like we were at home with the decorating and having all of the amenities. The Aspen log home was impressive on the inside and the family enjoyed looking out the windows staring out at the mountains. The location was very convenient to shopping at Breckenridge and there is a grocery store in Fairplay 3 miles from the home. The easiest 14er in Colorado Mount Sherman is only about 15 miles away, made for a great hike. I would definitely recommend this place if you are looking for your own solitude and away from the resort towns.

GREAT PLACE TO STAY - WE WILL BOOK AGAIN!!
My husband and I spent our 15th wedding anniversary at the cabin. Our goal was to go somewhere remote and do nothing but relax and enjoy a view. This cabin provided exactly what we were looking for. We really liked the fact that we were very close to Breckenridge yet not in the "busyness" of Breckenrigde. Enjoyed the hummingbirds! We had to make our own recipe batch to fill the feeders because there were so many of them! We will be back! ...and thank you for the bag of ice and extra ice trays, Tami...that was thoughtful!!!

Incredible Stay
This cabin was everything it was described to be! The check-in process was super easy and access was a breeze. Each step was communicated to us on-time and accurately. The property is beautiful! We had more than enough room for our family of six (2 grandparents, 2 parents, and 2 kids under 10) to spread out and be super comfortable. We skied in Breckenridge and the drive in was gorgeous. It only took us about 20 minutes to drive each morning. It snowed almost every day, but the roads are maintained very well, so we didn't have any issues. The is a nice grocery store about 3 miles south in Fairplay, which is also a neat place to explore! Not being in the hustle and bustle area of downtown Breckenridge is what made our stay so nice! 10/10 would stay here again!

vrbo review
We had a really nice stay. Your home is warm and very comfortable. We found it to be very clean and well stocked. (well maybe could have used some more toilet paper, just in casers, ran a little low). The deck is great and the view is fabulous. The property is easy to find and has great access to the main highway. ( a plus for winter time). Everyone liked the rough edge on the kitchen granite counter top. Our only concern was that there was not any sort of instruction sheet as to what to do with the linens, towels and garbage like we have found in some rentals. I hope we did ok. Thanks for opening your home to strangers, however, we felt as though we were friends.

Unbelievable Views
This is a new, clean and well appointed home situated among Colorado 14ers, and within a 20 minute easy drive to Breckenridge. Although our trip centered around skiing and snowshoeing, this home is the ideal base for climbing, hiking, fishing, or cycling. The deck is perfect for cocktail hour and morning coffee. The game room was a hit with our adult kids, and with us. Pool tournament was a blast. We had 2 professional chefs with us, and we all found the kitchen well appointed and spacious. Beds were comfortable and rooms ideally furnished. Garage was great in that it accommodated a large truck with ski racks, and made unloading gear easy, with direct access into the house. We brought portable humidifiers for each room, which helped us all sleep comfortably at this altitude. Owners were responsive, friendly, and dependable. We will be back this summer to hike, climb, and paddle board. BTW- we have stayed at over 30 vacation rentals all over the country, and this home ranks in the top 5 for overall comfort, views, and amenities. A great time was had by all.....
