Beautiful rustic cabin that I highly recommend. Woke up in the mornings with a moose bedded down in the yard. We would absolutely stay here again!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the rustic charm of the cabin and even got to share the yard with a moose! That’s such a special mountain experience. We’re so glad you had a memorable stay and would love to welcome you back anytime!
10/10 will definitely stay again. Bunkbed was a little wobbly to the point our kids didn’t want to sleep on the top. Other than that we loved our stay.

Unique hand built cabin hideaway, great for a honeymoon, or quiet place for reflection
Very pleased with location and accommodations. Unique in that the cabin was hand built using recycled barn beams, windows from an auto dealership. It was secluded, yet very close to Breckenridge.

The property is in a great location just south of Breck. The cabin had tons of rustic charm and suited our needs perfectly for a trip to the mountains. Within an hour or so to all the major resorts. Beds were comfortable, kitchen was well equipped. The stove/fireplace was great and the views from the back deck were beautiful. Fantastic stay.

Thank you for your review of your stay at Brecken Haus, we are happy to hear you enjoyed your time. We love that it was a peaceful get-a-way for you.
When we got in late after a long day of travel due to snow, we were confused when we pulled in. Then we walked down the path to the home and we were smiling at how beautiful and tucked back in we were! The house was perfect for us! Everything was clean and simple. We skied everyday and it was a perfect distance to town! We would definitely stay here again, and hope to!

It's nice to read such a happy review! We love that you loved being tucked back in the woods but close enough to ski every day! We are so glad the house was perfect for you !
We had a wonderful stay at this unique amazing cabin. Everything was clean and the bed was very comfortable. The deck is private and has a gorgeous view of the mountains. During our stay the area was very quiet with visits from various wildlife. My only complaint is the bathroom sink water pressure is very low. Made it a little challenging to rinse my hands. Otherwise this cabin is awesome!

Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re thrilled to hear that you had a wonderful stay and enjoyed the comfort and unique charm of our cabin. It's great to know that you appreciated the cleanliness, the comfortable bed, and the stunning mountain views from the private deck.
We do apologize for the low water pressure in the bathroom sink and appreciate you bringing it to our attention. We’ll look into this issue to ensure it’s resolved for future guests.
We hope to welcome you back soon for another relaxing getaway!
We really enjoyed the seclusion of the home yet just a few minutes from Breck. I would love to give this place a 5 star rating but the water pressure in the shower is really not acceptable and it has a bad smell. I'm all for water conservation, but this was barely a steady stream. The beds were very comfortable and clean. We loved the back patio deck overlooking the beautiful forest. It's a lovely home.

Thank you for sending us your feedback, we love that the location and comforts of the home, we have been monitoring the water pressure since your review and have not seen it become low since. We will continue to watch it.
We had a great stay very rustic and quite cabin. Saw lots of wildlife and enjoyed the peace and quite. Only minor issue is the rooms got very bright when the sun started to come up. So if you are light sensitive you will be up early. Not a bad thing but just be ready.

- Easy check-in and helpful staff of Alpine Meadows Management.- Clean house, comfortable beds, and adequately equipped kitchen. - Close to town and close to trails!We were able to do some long hikes and bike rides without having to drive to a trailhead. We also enjoyed using the deck very much - reading or just watching the peaceful woods.

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We’re sorry to hear that your stay at Brecken Haus didn’t meet your expectations. As the title suggests, the cabin is designed to offer a rustic mountain experience. We’re sorry to hear about the issues with the carpenter ants. This is definitely not the experience we aim to provide. We haven't seen or heard of ants being in the cabin otherwise. Your comments are taken seriously and we will look into them further! Thank you again for your input.
We enjoyed the house and location as it was secluded from the town. That was the best part. Some of the closets had other people’s clothes left behind, assuming prior guests. The oven didn’t work, which would have been nice to know ahead of time. We bought groceries as we drove into town, not realizing the oven was broken.

Hello and thank you for taking the time to send us a review of your stay at Brecken Haus.
Thanks for letting us know of the clothes left behind, we will be sure to get those items taken care of.
Positives: This property is only a few miles from downtown Breck and close to some trailheads; we enjoyed the upstairs (living area, kitchen, deck); the cabin has lots of windows to take advantage of a wooded lot; good internet; price lower than many other rentals in this rural neighborhood.
Things you should know: Cabin is rustic and in need of some maintenance, in my opinion. You must weigh this against the price and your own expectations/tolerance to decide if this is a good option for you. Some examples: cellular shades on lower level (bedrooms and bath) do not all raise/lower properly; carpet is old and wall paper is peeling on lower level; lots of spiders, ants, and cobwebs. Check out procedure says to run the dishwasher before leaving, but there was no dishwasher. There was also no dish scrubber or dish rags for hand washing of dishes, yet there were dishwasher pods below the sink for the non-existent dishwasher. Be aware that the spiral staircase leading to the upper floor from the entry foyer is very steep and has small steps. However, the top level can also be accessed from the outside by climbing conventional stairs to the deck.

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed review. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the location and the upstairs living area of the cabin, and that you appreciated the views and internet access.
We also appreciate your constructive feedback. We strive to provide a rustic experience that is both comfortable and enjoyable, and we’re sorry to hear that some aspects of the cabin did not meet your expectations. Your comments about maintenance issues and missing items have been noted, and we’ll work on addressing these concerns to improve our future guests’ experiences. Thank you again for your insights, and we hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future.
Very unique cabin in a secluded setting with many unique features. If you’re after a polished house without character then it’s probably not for you. If you enjoy a dose of quirky design and a serenely quiet environment then you’ll love it. Great deck. Bull moose “Marty” wondered through and even plopped down for a rest. Close enough to Breck for convenience yet far enough for solitude. Thanks for the stay!

Reviewer Comments:
It's hard to put into words how much we enjoyed this cabin and the location. Just far enough out of Breck, while being really close to nature. The cabin was clean and offered just the right amount of amenities to make it a "cabin" experience and not a luxury experience. Mornings and evenings spent on the deck treated us with several animal sitings from a safe and secure distance. We saw a black bear, a moose, foxes, deer and plenty of birds, squirrels and chipmunks. We're coming back!

We had lots of fun at Blue River. It was beautiful learning the history of the parts of the house and where each piece originated. Finding the house in the midst of the snow was a little difficult as the snow was blocking the path to the house but otherwise great stay. Very much recommended.

Alpine Meadows and the homeowners would like to thank you for sending your feedback of your stay at Brecken Haus. We do specify that there is not a dishwasher so people are aware prior to booking. We think the unit is as pictured with the one bathroom, sorry that you found it to be too small.
If you’re looking for a rustic cabin in the woods in a serene setting, this is it! The location and charm of this old cabin is amazing but be sure to have AWD/4x4 in the winter. And watch out for vrbo’s fees that they now add to your booking!?!

Thank you for sending a review of Brecken Haus! We appreciate the feedback. Thank you for mentioning the need for a 4x4 vehicle. We do recommend a 4x4/All-Wheel drive vehicle with proper tires in the winter months. The roads leading to the cabin are regularly maintained , but the high alpine environment can make for difficulty traveling during snow . We hope to host you again for your next stay in Breckenridge!

I would like to thank Alpine Meadows for understanding our emergency. Unfortunately, we had to cut our vacation short due to our daughter getting sick while in Breckenridge. We took a trip to the ER a day after we arrived, and Doctors recommended that we kept our daughter on oxygen the entire time. We had many plans, but the health of our daughter came first. We decided to pack up and leave, and management staff from Alpine Meadows were able to coordinate with Airbnb to refund some of our money. I was very surprised to receive the news a few days later. Thank you!!
Cabin was clean and well stocked. We enjoyed the privacy of the location. There really is a moose that roams around. Still plenty close to town for food and fun.
