Hot Tub, Mtn Views & Seclusion - Moose Wetlands, 24mi Breck, Pets OK
Alpenhaus is a pet-friendly mountain cabin on secluded, heavily wooded acreage 22 miles from Breckenridge, with a private therapeutic hot tub on a three-sided wraparound deck, a two-story stone-hearth Great Room, and a moose wetland less than a mile away.
The Space This three-bedroom, three-bath cabin is a proper Colorado mountain home. Knotty pine ceilings and walls throughout. A two-story Great Room with vaulted ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows frames the forest and distant peaks, with a stone-hearth wood-burning fireplace as the anchor. The dining table seats six to eight with walkout access to the propane grill, and the kitchen has stainless appliances, Corian counters, and island bar seating. The ground-floor Entertainment Room / bedroom hybrid gives you a second living space with a gas fireplace and walkout to the hot tub. Bring the dog: two pets welcome with prior approval.
The Layout * Loft Master Bedroom: King bed, large windows and storage closet, adjacent full bath with tub/shower combo * Loft Reading Nook: Set of Twin Bunk Beds with corner TV, large windows * Mid-Level Queen Bedroom: Queen bed plus a corner Twin (kid bed), large windows and storage closet, adjacent central bath with walk-in shower and washer/dryer * Ground Floor Queen Bedroom / Entertainment Room: Queen bed, gas fireplace, smart TV, adjacent full bath with tub/shower combo, walkout to the hot tub * 3 Full Bathrooms * Great Room: Two-story vaulted ceilings, knotty pine, stone-hearth wood-burning fireplace, floor-to-ceiling windows, leather couches * Kitchen: Stainless appliances, Corian countertops, island bar seating, dining for 6 to 8 * Full-size in-home washer and dryer * Elevated wraparound deck on three sides with gas fire pit, propane BBQ grill, and the private Wind River therapeutic hot tub
The Hot Tub and the Wildlife Alpenhaus's best moments happen in the same place: the private Wind River therapeutic hot tub on the wraparound deck. It sits far enough from the road that you're alone with the pines and the mountains in the distance, and close enough to the wildlife wetland that you'll likely see elk, deer, or fox tracks in the snow around the deck by morning. The wetland less than a mile from the property is one of the few reliable moose-watching spots in Park County. Bring binoculars and a camera. Bring the dog too.
Outside The wraparound deck runs around three sides of the house with comfortable seating, a gas fire pit for evening lounging, and a propane BBQ grill by the kitchen door. The hot tub sits just outside the ground-floor entrance for post-adventure soaks. Beyond the deck, the property spans heavily wooded acreage with no other homes visible through the trees. Summer temperatures rarely climb past 75; nights drop to the 40s. Winter turns it into a proper snow-country home. Gold Medal / Blue Ribbon fishing is a short drive away.

This was our third trip to the FairPlay area and without doubt the best views from the cabin. We definitely enjoyed our stay! Wish the cabin would’ve been stocked a little better as they only provide one skillet which makes it a little difficult to cook for a family.
Really nice place can’t wait to go back we love it there.

Thank you for your kind review, Joel! We're so glad you found the house comfortable and enjoyed the beautiful views and spacious deck. We'd love to host you again for another mountain getaway!
We had the perfect week away at the Alpenhaus! The cabin itself was beautiful and equipped with everything we could need. The views were absolutely stunning. The proximity to Fairplay and neighboring cities like Breckenridge (plus several trails) made it a great spot that felt remote but not too far from food/activities should you decide to venture out. The road to the cabin is a bit bumpy and my non-4WD SUV made the trek just fine (even after some snow) but would definitely be safer to have a 4WD in the event of heavier snow. Would definitely visit again!

Fantastic memory
Our stay was fabulous. It is just what we were looking for. The natural beauty is amazing. We saw wildlife every day. The accommodations were great. The house was very clean. The hot tub is a definite yes please! The beds and bedding were very comfortable. Top-notch in almost every way. The only thing I might say would be that a house that accommodates nine people should probably have at least two large skillets available for cooking, and that it is mentioned that the roads are extremely rough coming into the property and vehicles should be considered for that purpose. Thank you so much for such a wonderful, wonderful experience!

Well appointed, tastefully decorated, and (of course) the incredible view. The missing hair dryers were a minor inconvenience (someone had taken all 3) and a couple of the jets on the hot tub didn't work. However, it was all extremely clean and comfortable. Would stay there again in a heartbeat.

So glad you all enjoyed your Birthday gathering, you never know what the weather will be like in April. Please come and visit during the summer or fall, there is amazing places to hang out and enjoy the outdoor activities. This mountain home is perfect to get away from the heat, air conditioning is not needed at 11,000 feet.
We loved our stay at this house .It was clean well stocked and had a great view. The host was great and checked in with us to make sure we had everything we needed.
