About this property

Fairplay ranch estate — 5BR, hot tub, game room

The view from the upper living area at this Fairplay ranch estate is one guests keep coming back to describe: vast, private, and worth the mountain drive to get here. A private Colorado ranch estate on forested acreage — 35 minutes from Breckenridge, sleeping up to 10 across five bedrooms. Guests call it "just far enough outside of town to feel the seclusion, close enough to drive for groceries and activities."

A full game room, fully equipped kitchen with coffee bar and stainless-steel appliances with coffee bar, indoor fireplace, private outdoor hot tub, and sweeping deck for stargazing under clear mountain skies. The primary suite features a king-sized Sleep Number mattress and a private jacuzzi jet tub. A second first-level master bedroom has a queen bed and in-room sink. Two additional queen bedrooms and a bunk room with XL twins round out the sleeping for larger groups. The game room has a poker table, shuffleboard, and dedicated workspace. Evenings wind down around the outdoor fire pit or at the gas BBQ grill.

Surrounding wildlife — elk and deer are frequent visitors on the property. The Tomahawk State Wildlife Area is walkable. Fishing reservoirs — Antero, Spinney, 11 Mile — are within 30 minutes. Breckenridge skiing, hiking, and mountain biking are 35 minutes away. Dogs are welcome. Managed by Gilson Property Group.

The main living area features a gas fireplace, comfortable sectional seating, and a large flat-screen TV. The fully equipped kitchen with coffee bar and stainless-steel appliances has stainless-steel appliances, a dedicated coffee bar, and a dining area that seats the full group. Guests note the kitchen is very well stocked. A wraparound deck with mountain views is ideal for outdoor meals and relaxing.

Sleeping configuration across five bedrooms: King bed with ensuite jacuzzi jet tub (Primary Suite) | Queen bed with in-room sink (Second Master, first floor) | Queen bed (Bedroom 3) | Queen bed (Bedroom 4) | XL Twin bunk beds (Bunk Room).
Capacity: up to 10 guests across 3 full bathrooms.

The game room features a poker table, shuffleboard, dedicated workspace, and additional TV. The private outdoor hot tub is elevated on the porch and positioned for mountain views and stargazing. Guests consistently praise the large table for group dinners, the fire pit on the patio, and the fenced dog run. A gas BBQ grill and fire pit complete the outdoor setup.

Additional amenities: in-unit washer and dryer, board games, high-speed WiFi, Smart TVs throughout, children's gear including crib and high chair, fishing ponds on property, and ample on-site parking. Dogs are welcome with a pet fee.

Guests have full, private access to the entire ranch estate — all sleeping areas, living areas, game room, gourmet kitchen, wraparound deck, outdoor hot tub, fire pit, and BBQ grill. The property is exclusively yours with no shared walls or neighboring rentals.

Entry is via smart lock with your access code provided through the Gilson guest portal before arrival. Free on-site parking is included. A brief identity verification is required before arrival to confirm check-in details.

Comfy cabin with an amazing view!

This cabin made for such a relaxing, enjoyable stay. There were plenty of beds for our family and lots of room to just lounge throughout. The kitchen had everything we needed, there were several games to play, and the panoramic view of South Park out the living room windows was incredible! The location is very private, and in a gorgeous setting surrounded by aspens. It was so relaxing to sit in the hot tub every night watching distant lightning from thunderstorms.

Thank you so much for sharing such a thoughtful review! We’re delighted to hear the cabin provided a relaxing and enjoyable stay for your family, with plenty of space to spread out and unwind. It’s wonderful to know the kitchen, games, and especially those panoramic South Park views helped make your time memorable. We love that you were able to enjoy the peaceful setting among the aspens and end your evenings in the hot tub with such a beautiful backdrop. We’d be thrilled to welcome you back anytime for another mountain getaway!

Amazing vacation

Hosts were above and beyond in their communication with us. Having rented through VRBO a number of times over the years we can say that this house was stocked like nothing we have experienced before. The house was so clean. We love the FairPlay area, got to experience Burro Days and just enjoy the quietness of the mountains! It was just what the family needed. One note: the driveway is a real challenge and the altitude is definitely something you need to adapt to….. but worth the climb!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review! We’re delighted to hear that our communication and the way the home was stocked made such a positive impression, and that you found everything clean and comfortable. It’s wonderful that you were able to enjoy FairPlay, experience Burro Days, and soak in the peaceful mountain setting—what a special way to spend time with family. We appreciate your note about the driveway and altitude; those are great reminders for future guests, and we’re glad you felt the views and experience were worth the climb. We’d be honored to welcome you back anytime for another mountain getaway!

Company Planning Session

We used the house for a company planning retreat. It was a great space for us. We experienced a couple of very minor issues where the instructions provided didn't match the actual conditions. For example, instructions said there would be a stash of batteries in a drawer that we couldn't find so we ended up swapping batteries between remotes to get everything functioning. Everything else about the space was amazing. Very clean, neat and all the cooking amenities we needed to have a very enjoyable stay. We're already talking about re-booking for next year.
