This home was very comfortable. Our family of 7 stayed here and my teenagers loved playing pool, along with enjoying the hot tub. The community is very quiet and there was nothing out of place with the house. Would stay here again.

This was a wonderful home for 2 families to relax and enjoy the beautiful colorado summer. We had plenty of room to spread out, room for kids to play, and a great kitchen to cook meals. It was a short drive to Breckenridge, and central to other places we visited (Buena Vista, Frisco, Copper Mountain).

This is an excellent property and the property management company is top notch - they went above and beyond to ensure everything was just right. I highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a larger rental for a family or large group. The place is very well kept, clean, modern, and spacious. We had a great time - awesome pool room area and the hot tub is excellent.

Great house, but close to highway
Property was great and really easy to get to Breckenridge. Bedrooms huge and beds super comfy. Just a little discouraged with proximity to highway and photos didn’t show that. Downstairs game room phenomenal.

We liked everything about the property. The size was great. The extras were very appreciated. Also very conveinent to Breckenridge. The only problem that we had was downstairs fireplace. The batteries for the igniter were old and corroded. It still worked intermittenly. We would rent again
Beautiful place nice location but difficult to breathe on the first day due to not being used to the altitude. The pool table and games were a hit with my family and I personally loved to heated floors. I love the fact that every room had its own bathroom and temperature control. The only negative thing I could say was that the fireplace button and master bedroom light switch shocked me every time.

A gorgeous spot, check-in and out were a breeze. It was just what we were looking for. Management is easy to reach with any questions or concerns. The kettle in the kitchen needs some descaling and if that's what's coming to mind as a concern, you know the stay was close to perfect.

The 4th bedroom apparently had a trundle bed, NOT a queen bed. We had to move one of our couples to another property as this was not a frat party. Very disappointed that the wording about the trundle appears buried in the written description while the pictorials and title states "Queen bed" in 4th bedroom bunk bed. It is very misleading.

The home was beautiful and very comfortable. Everything was very clean! The furniture upstairs is practically new. The steam room and sauna were amazing! The location is great! However the windows above the beds force you to wake up early so you should have plenty of time to enjoy the day. Overall great experience!!

Awesome home!!
The house was amazing and it was just perfect for our party of 7. Breckinridge is only a 15 minute drive away and we were able to enjoy to drive daily. We did snowmobiling and did get some snow too. One negative I must say is the altitude is a bit harsh. Be prepared with pain relievers and oxygen cans . You do have a hard time breathing and get tired quickly but you can purchase an oxygen can at any convenience store. Other than that our trip was amazing and would definitely book again this home!!

Thank you for your review. That is a great suggestion about the elevation.
I appreciate you mentioning this! Glad you enjoyed the home and look forward to hearing from you in the future.
My husband, bonus daughter, and I stayed at Quandary Mountain retreat for the Valentine's Day/President's Day long weekend. The house was beautiful and the scenery was absolutely breath-taking. Approximately two feet of snow fell during our stay, which made for amazing skiing and snow mobile riding. This home would be amazing to spend Christmas in and it's something we are considering in the future. The hot tub was great, especially when the snow was falling, there are board games, cards, stereos, a pool table...so even if you decide to stay in, you will not be bored. The fireplace definitely throws out the heat so if you are staying in the bedroom on the main floor, you may want to shut the door if the fireplace is on (my husband and I like it a little chilly when we sleep). The property management company is very responsive and will check in periodically to ensure your stay is nothing but perfect. Oh, and if you are staying here, there are plenty of spices, salt, pepper, and HUNDREDS of coffee filters so save yourself a few bucks and skip those items at the grocery store. We did not see moose or elk but we are hoping to during future stays. It was about a 15 minute drive to Breckenridge ski resort, and that was on snowy roads. If you are looking for a little peace and serenity away from the touristy resort, this is definitely the place to stay!

We also appreciate the thoughtful tips for future guests—those little details make a big difference. We’d absolutely love to welcome you back anytime, and hopefully next time the moose or elk will make an appearance too! - River Ridge Rentals Team
