About the host
Hosted by Anthony
We didn’t buy and change this property for a rental business, we made it the way we enjoyed the mountains of the past. It’s a love letter to the Colorado we knew as kids: wild, quiet, and completely unhurried. Before the roller coasters and bungee jumps and condos and boutique chain shops moved in, the Rockies had a way of making you feel genuinely small and genuinely free. We share this cabin because that feeling shouldn’t disappear. Come wander five acres of aspen and pine, sleep under an impossible sky, and leave the noise behind, even if just for a weekend
Why they chose this property
Remote and peaceful with whispering aspen leaves, wildflowers and a mountain stream
What makes this property unique
1. Your own private mountain stream with bridges = most cabins are “near” water; this one has it running through the property with actual crossings to explore. 2. Views of two named 14ers and a 13er from the deck = Mt. Bross and Mt Quandary and Mt. Silverheels are iconic peaks, and calling them out by name builds credibility and excitement. 3. Free ski shuttle less than a mile away — the Summit Express to Breck, Keystone, and Frisco is a rare convenience at this price point and seclusion level. 4. 5 fully explorable acres = not just a yard or courtyard of concrete, but a genuine private landscape of aspen and pine to hike, snowshoe, and wander. 5. Steam shower plus hot tub=most rentals offer one or the other or neither; having both is a legitimate luxury differentiator. 6. Wildlife as a feature, not a warning = moose, bear, and deer on the property is extraordinary to most guests and provides the “real Colorado” experience. 7. Gear already included = sleds, snowshoes, bikes, fishing gear, and disc golf mean guests can be spontaneous without hauling equipment. 8. Wood-burning fireplace = increasingly rare in rentals due to regulations; it’s authentic and atmospheric in a way gas simply isn’t. 9. Outdoor games and hangout features = hummingbirds, ski chair and bench, tire swing, hammock, cornhole, and horseshoes create a resort-like outdoor social experience. 10. 16 miles to Breckenridge with true seclusion each morning and night to escape the chaos of tourists and traffic and paid parking….the combination of proximity to a world-class ski town and genuine remoteness is the hardest balance to find in Colorado mountain rentals.
