Wonderful stay! The house was gorgeous, immaculately clean, and extremely well furnished and supplied. We saw a moose, a bear, and multiple foxes. The kitchen was so nice we only ate out twice the whole stay - one lunch and one dinner. Really great in every way!

Family vacation/ski trip
This was our Covid make up ski trip and we couldn’t have asked for a better stay! The house was just as described, even better. The location is great. The shuttle stops right by the house and was perfect for shuttling to the lifts and catching the grey bus to town, etc. The accommodations were more than adequate for our group of 12 adults and 2 babies. Some of us hiked down the trail into town, beautiful and easy hike. We didn’t attempt the ski in, but some in our group tried the ski out one morning. The shuttle seemed the preferred method to take. The kitchen was well stocked with appliances, dishes, etc. We would definitely stay here again!

Practically Perfect!
First I must say that the pictures of this place do not do it justice. It seemed so much roomier and beautiful than the photos show, which was a very pleasant surprise. As with all houses, something is going to go wrong which one of the two disposals and one of the two clothes dryers had issues, but I just texted the property manager and they sent someone out right away to fix it. Josh came out and not only fixed everything, but gave us some "local" insight on where to go exploring and his suggestions did not disappoint. We also got to see wildlife from the back windows of the house - an adolescent moose was toying with a fox (or vice-versa) with both jumping all around in the clearing behind the house - such a treat to witness! We had a great experience and hope to be back with our family again. They have all voiced the same thing.

NOT Ski in ski out
Fine except for it is not Ski in. Only Ski out. The Ski in access (which still requires walking 2 blocks) is through off trail Avalanche risk area. Very misleading.

Tom, we appreciate you sharing your experience. We apologize for any confusion regarding the ski access.

We had an amazing time. It was difficult to ski in and out, however. Great place for a large group.
We had a blast. Great place for a large group. Was difficult to ski in and out. We didn’t have enough wash cloths. Hot tub was amazing. Steam in shower was awesome, but some of the knobs in showers came loose. There were a few appliances that didn’t work, but overall it was wonderful! Not far from downtown.

Amazing Christmas Vacation Home
What a beautiful home for our Christmas vacation for our group of 11 from Alabama. The views from every room are gorgeous. The game tables in the basement were fun for everyone. Plenty of room for all of us. The kitchen has everything we needed. The bus route stop was very convenient. I can not find one thing to complain about, We will be renting this wonderful house again next year!

Property itself was just as advertised.
Everything about the house itself was perfect. I would say the Ski Access was not the Ski-In Ski-Out that one might be accustomed to. Some trail skiing is required and not for the beginner or intermediate skier.

Mike, Thank you for sharing your experience at the Fireside Lodge. We are glad to hear that the house was a perfect fit. Ski access out of the home is a Green Run; which is great for beginners and the Ski-in access is a Black Run which we only recommend for experienced skiers. Thanks again! -The RRR Team

This property was perfect! The kitchen was well stocked with everything from cookware to spices. There was a cabinet full of board games for the kids to play with.

Great house!
We had a wonderful stay at Fireside Lodge. The house was very clean and well maintained. The beds were comfortable and the linens and towels were first rate. Everything we could possibly want or need in the kitchen was provided and it was well stocked with spices and paper goods. We had a problem with the grill and so I called the management company, River Ridge. I was impressed when they came right away and fixed the problem. One thing that was a delightful surprise was the location of the house. We could walk out the backdoor and instantly be on a trail to the mountains or down to Breckenridge. It was an easy 5 minute walk to the river and a beautiful 10 minute walk downhill to downtown (although walking back to the house uphill was a little harder). The one thing the house lacked was book of instructions on how to use the appliances, grills, steam showers, etc. But other than that we had an amazing time and we would love to come to Fireside Lodge again.

Boys Ski Trip
We had a great time at Fireside Lodge. The house was well equipped and the communication with River Ridge was perfect! They were extremely responsive prior to arrival and of any issues found upon. If I were to make any constructive criticism, it would be that the heat was hard to control. It was either hot or cold. The kitchen lacked skillets to cook typical breakfast items. Finally, the ski in/ski out claim is true... it can be done. But it is far from easy. Skiing out requires some uphill hiking to reach the lift. The ski in portion requires you to ski through a gate that states “this is backcountry, you may die”. It can be done, we did it, but not family friendly. Overall, we have a great time, the house was great and we would stay here again!

Tons of room & well stocked
We’ve stayed at a lot of properties like this and we’ve never had such a well stocked home. So many of the homes are nice but there’s not a spatula to be found. This place had amazing appliances and everything you could need to cook or bake with. Our kids went in the hot tub every night and loved roasting s’mores by the fire pit. We loved the trails that were right in the backyard and it’s not too far from town. There was actually a bed for everyone and with 3 families staying together the two sets of washer/dryers and 2 dishwashers was amazing. We even saw a moose in the backyard one morning!

Mountain retreat
The house was lovely and spacious. The 3 master bedrooms are large. The bedrooms in the basement are small and the bunk room is not very decorated. The most important note is that this house is only ski out. It is not ski in, unless you risk traveling into out of bound skiing areas and having your pass revoked. The shuttle is very convenient for pick up and drop off. Maintenance and management is responsive.

In regard to skiing, the ski-in access to the home is by a deeded neighborhood trail. We do apologize for any confusion regarding this access and can confirm it is approved access into the neighborhood and to the home.
