Ski Weekend

My friends and I had a great stay here. The home was beautiful along with the views, and offers many amenities. We loved the clear directions and helpful signage throughout the home. Our hosts were very responsive prior and during our stay with any questions. I would highly recommend booking this home. The reason we chose this location was for overall bed options and location between our itinerary of skiing in Breck and hot springs at Mt Princeton.

Perfect wedding location

We had the handfast ceremony aka old wedding of our dreams at this cabin. The space for everyone to have there own rooms for the days befor the wedding. The entertainment basins the beauty of the mountains surrounding you. The little fox friends that come to visit you, all the beautiful wild life. Our wedding and time at this cabin was literally magical and perfect. The owner is fast responding and amazing to work with. Overall so happy we choose the mangy moose to stay!

Destination Wedding

A beautiful home to host our friends and family for our destination wedding. We spent a couple of days playing games, hot tubbing and making meals together. We ended our stay with a gorgeous outdoor wedding with the background of colorful trees and open sky! Our hosts communicated well and were friendly. We were welcomed with beautiful flowers and a gift for our wedding. Above and beyond the norm. Fully stocked home. Would return in a heart beat!!

A Coloradan’s Paradise!

I am a Colorado native living on the east coast now, and this getaway at the Mangy Moose was an absolutely perfect way to spend my summer vacation. I spent the days with a group of friends I haven’t seen in ages— there’s plenty to do around the surrounding towns, but we mostly enjoyed staying on the property— playing games, hot tubbing, enjoying the views from all the patios… it was relaxing, rejuvenating, and everything the listing advertised. Most importantly, all of us slept comfortably. All beds and furniture were ultra comfy! The hosts were super responsive and helpful with all questions we had before and during our stay. Love this special place!

Wilderness viewing

The house is situated above a large expanse of willows and brush so that at anytime you will see a moose or deer munching away. It’s a great place for a large group as there are many places to gather or to be alone. The Bunkhouse is probably more suited for children rather than older adults as no bathroom is available. South Park has lots to offer and worth your while to spend a few days.

Absolute no brainer to book this place

Kia was quite possibly one of the best hosts I’ve ever rented from. The house was on point, accurate and advice and beyond what’s usually promised and kept at a rental. The house had so many unique and minor touches that made it feel like home more than majority of rentals that seem crudely put together.

Wonderful family time together

The home is just outstanding in many ways. It is beautifully furnished including comfortable beds and plenty of extra blankets. The kitchen is better stocked than my own. They have thought of several details to make your stay simply memorable, such as everything is clearly labeled, coffee and creamer is in the refrigerator, altitude recommendations and medication if needed. We were in town for my daughter’s wedding and they left a wedding gift for them. Super sweet. They were available for any questions I had. Truly a memorable stay. And we even saw a moose in the backyard by the creek.

Family reunion

Wonderful visit, wonderful property. We were looking for a property to accommodate a large group for a family get together and the Mangy Moose hit it out of the park. Everything was above and beyond. Classy retreat, secluded with spectacular views. The VRBO descriptions can never do it justice. The hosts know what they are doing, nothing was missed, like a lot of rentals, there are a lot of instructions, but theirs are very subtle and don’t come off as “yelly” or condescending. The extra touches were everywhere. Beautiful, well appointed home, exactly as advertised with breathtaking views. We unfortunately did not see a moose during our stay but were able to watch the mule deer feed near the stream nightly. As someone who rents vacation properties 2 to 3 time a year I will say the hosts of the Mangy Moose could give a master class on proper vacation home hosting. Thanks for a wonderful visit.

Villalobos Getaway

Absolutely stunning. The house was great. Fully stocked on basics plus the forget me box was a huge help. The drive up is bumpy so make sure to listen to Kia. Rent a n suv if needed. Wildlife was unreal. My husband saw a baby moose being chased by 3 wolves. He whistled and it was able to get away. Momma moose chased the alpha wolf away. Never thought we would see something like that. Chipmunks visited us daily. Sitting on the back porch watching it all was the best. It was quiet and dark at night. Great sleep. We brought our kids and grandkids and they loved it. Lots of toys there for the babies and games for the bigger kids. I could go on about how wonderful it was... Dont miss your chance to stay here. You will be happy you stayed.

Best vacation ever

After seeing all the 10/10 reviews on VRBO, I had to say I was skeptical. But after arriving at this cabin, I realized why all the reviews were so good. We have stayed at a lot of properties over the last 8-10 years, and this is by far the best stocked cabin we have ever stayed in. It had everything that we needed, and was labeled very well to be able to find things without looking all day. The view of the surrounding mountains is amazing, and the cabin itself is truly a beautiful home that we have enjoyed thoroughly over the last several days. We saw moose almost every day when we would go to town, and the owners were the best I have ever experienced at communicating with us to answer questions or make sure the cabin was running perfectly (even on the weekend!). It sounds like a sales pitch, but this cabin and it's owners truly stand out as one of the best experiences we have had with VRBO ever. Our family is very thankful that we were able to stay here, and I look forward to returning in the summer or fall to see the area again. 10/10 all day long!!

Fantastic! 👍⭐️

Wonderful home, lot, views, finishing, extras….absolutely great! Note: it is a good 40 min drive to Breckenridge and this property is out in the middle of the mountains that REQUIRES a 4WD in the winter. No “quick trip” to the grocery store. But if you plan ahead, this is absolutely better than staying “in town” and not missing out on all this place offers. We’re planning to go back this summer. Again, just prepare ahead of time with shopping to do meals at home and you won’t even want to leave this place other than a trip to the slopes or tube hills in Break for a day. Hosts is SUPER quick and good with communication. I was very impressed with it on many different levels! A number of little complains about things that could have been better, but remember you’re renting out a place in the middle of the Rocky Mountains, so come on! Overall: very happy and will be renting it out again without hesitation.

Really nice cabin!

Everything about the property was just as expected - the house came furnished with just about anything and everything you could possibly need. Very well thought out by the hosts! Amazing property and nice amenities, such as the hot tub with a gorgeous outlooking view. Really hard to beat! Only complaint from me was the driveway situation in winter time, which the hosts did warn about. They advised on having a 4WD vehicle for the steep-incline driveway - our car rental company ran out of 4WD cars and we got stuck with 2WD. The driveway is steep and was solid ice underneath a thin blanket of snow.. So take caution for your winter stay! We ended up parking our 2WD cars at the top of the driveway. Really wish the driveway was salted or even topped off with some crushed gravel for better traction. Just sharing for awareness, but the hosts did warn about this. Still 5 out of 5 starts in my book, simply because this minor bit did not take away from the rest of the features/qualities of the home. Pictures and description are all accurate - so there were no surprises. The hosts are great communicators also. We did see a moose one day on the road a mile up from the house! Thanks for having us!

Spacious Mountain Home

We had a group of 18 people and two dogs. Youngest person was 16. We were very comfortable in the house and never felt like we were in each other’s way. The house is spacious and beautiful. The kitchen and the house overall is very well stocked. Everything we needed was already there. The hosts were professional and personal. There were a lot of small, thoughtful extras that made the stay that much better. Soon after check-in, the hosts unobtrusively checked to see if we needed anything and when we did reach out, they responded immediately, even when it was late at night.

Secluded Wedding Weekend

We had the most beautiful stay and the most beautiful small intimate wedding ceremony and celebration here. We arrived on December 1st and it started snowing. It snowed the entire weekend and while it was too windy to do a ceremony outside, we made due with the beautiful living room with tons of natural light from the windows. It was a wonderful weekend! The hosts were very quick with responding to questions about snow plows so we could leave on time without any issues. We highly recommend staying here, it’s the perfect cozy getaway!

About the host

Hosted by Kia

Host profile image
We both grew up in the Midwest. Moved to Denver after College. Worked together building an insurance agency for 11yrs & transitioned away from insurance in 2021. Rob is the director of talent for Thrive Real Estate in Denver & Kia does most of the rentals (decorating, managing, & finding the next house). We love being hosts and hope you feel right at home when you stay with us.

Why they chose this property

We are not Colorado Natives, but moved here in 2004 & 2011. We had all 3 of our children here, so they are "Natives". We love all things Colorado - Hiking, Aspen Trees, Fly-fishing, Skiing/Snowboarding, Stargazing, Sunrises & Sunsets, Sports (Avalanche, Rockies, Broncos, Nuggets, Rapids) and so much more.

What makes this property unique

This house is the perfect getaway for our family. It's just under 2 hours from where we live in Denver. Our oldest just got his first Bow&Arrow set - so traversing the property on a summer day is so much fun. The kids love building forts and animal spotting - Mostly Moose, but there's plenty of cool birds, deer, and even Elk. We love star-gazing at night in the hot tub or relaxing after a day on the Slopes (Breckenridge & Copper). Our dogs: Sherlock, Maxwell, & Moose can't get enough outdoor time when we bring them up. We love the heated floors and automatic fireplaces in the winter. The whole house sound-system is great too. We love playing games as a family, so you'll find tons of cards, puzzles and board games too. There's also a few books - kids and adult (feel free to leave any behind).
