About this property

This amazing cabin has everything you need to enjoy the mountains. The views are stunning from the living room and the deck. The neighborhood is quiet but we’re only 20 miles from the energy and noise of Breckenridge. We have a stocked kitchen and an incredible home for you to enjoy. It sleeps up to 8. In the master there’s a king bed, a twin bed and an air mattress in the closet. In the other upstairs bedroom there are 2 twins and a trundle (so 3 twins total). In third bedroom there’s a queen bed. In the basement there’s a queen sleeper sofa and 2 couches.
Enjoy world-class fishing, skiing/boarding, hiking, mountain biking, gold panning and relaxing in and around Fairplay and Alma. The town is quiet and slow, which is one of the things we like about it.

Must have 4WD or AWD in months with potential for snow (October - April). Cabin is in high alpine environment -check with your doctor if you have had issues with altitude in the past.

Mountain retreat

This was a lovely get away for our family before the summer ended. The warning about needing 4 wheel drive in winter is no joke. But the crazy path to the house was worth it. Very clean and comfortable. Super cozy and wells stocked for those that want to cook for their family. Would love to go back.

A beautiful getaway

We had a wonderful family weekend. The property was just as the description noted. We felt the place was clean and well maintained. Instructions were very clear. My toddler loved exploring the area around the cabin. Loved how secluded and quiet the area felt. We will be returning to this cabin!!

One with nature

Loved it, needed time away from the hustle and craziness of town and work. Directions to the property that was given by owner was extremely helpful and easy to find. Would definitely recommend.

Huge cabin with everything we could need for our stay!

Let me start by saying this property is pretty high in elevation. We are from elevations of no more than 1000' above sea level. We had a total of 7 people in our group. Everyone except two of us acclimated quite easily. The other two have underlying health issues, so it made our stay at this cabin impossible. We had to leave early. I just wanted to start with this so that I could explain the stay we did have. The drive up to the cabin was a little rough, but if you take it slow it really is not that bad. The directions that were given took us right to the cabin and overall it was just a nice little drive. The cabin is not far from town at all, and easily accessible to a grocery store, convenient stores, and the cutest little town with shopping. When we pulled up to the cabin it was so nice and clean, as well as a beautiful view from the deck area. Inside we had everything we needed plus more. This cabin has a really nice set up. We had two different families in our group and there was more than enough room. It was almost like one family could have upstairs and one family could have down stairs. Even though we stayed in June, it was still chilly out at night. The fireplace was perfect. When I left Oliver know that we might not complete our stay due to the family members having issues acclimating, he offered options that past guest have used and pointers for the high elevation. Once I let him know it was more than likely due to underlying health issues, he understood and knew it was probably more than needing extra oxygen. Checking out was simple and easy. There was a small list of asks upon checking out. I let him know once we left and he still was in contact with me a couple days after to see how the family members having issues were doing. He even let me know if he was able to book the property on the days we left early he would refund some of our money. It was such a short notice that I knew it would likely not happen, I still thought that was so great of him to go through the trouble of changing our dates and trying to do that for us. If this owner had other properties I would book with him before anyone else. Even though our stay was cut short due to our own reasons, the experience was great with the check in, cabin, and check out.

About the host

Hosted by Oliver Robinson

We're a family of 4 plus Indigo the black lab. We love the mountains and our mountain home and we think you'll enjoy it, too.

What makes this property unique

Perched in a secluded neighborhood on the side of a mountain, you'll have peace and quiet to recharge, while being 15 minutes from the small town of Fairplay and 22 miles from Breckenridge if you need to scratch a social itch, hang out at a brewery or get on your skis.
