Adorable Mountain A-Frame Tucked in the Pines - Moose Creek Lodge
Moose Creek Chalet is a custom cabin built w/ talent and a lot of love! It is absolutely adorable. The cabin is decorated in luxurious mountain decor and finished with beautiful custom wood work. From the moment you drive up to the cabin you will see how much care and thought went into this home. It is surrounded by beautiful Pine and Aspen trees and has stunning views of the white-capped `mountains. When you walk in, you enter the open living room, dining room, and kitchen. The ceilings are high and lofted and the luxurious decor will take your breath away. The living area has comfortable leather seating and a large flat screen TV with satellite programming.

What a wonderful comfortable cabin. I could have moved in permanently. Close to fun activities. Great local grocery and would have loved checking out a few of the gift shops.
The house is a really smart layout that really maximize the space. It feels much bigger than it is. We had a family of 7, but never felt cramped. There was space to get away, and the cabin is tucked back into woods with lots of fun nooks for the kids to explore.

Loved it!
This cabin was awesome! Absolutely no complaints! Very clean and had everything we needed. Would highly recommend!
Spent a full week at the house, it was everything we were looking for durring our stay. The neighbors were closer than expected, but never really had the feeling of others close by the way things are situated. Overall had a great time
Cabin was great. Beautiful, clean and quiet. Great location for our daily Shopping, Horse back ridding and fishing adventures.
Zero problems with check in check out or communication with staff. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!!
Very clean, everything was as described! Thanks again!

Wonderful place - Highly Recommend
Did a lot of research before selecting this place and I'm glad I did. Great location, wonderful views, and extremely peaceful. Very spacious home, great layout and very comfortable bed and couch. Has everything you need in the home, a perfect place for a weekend getaway or week long vacation. Only 45 minutes from beautiful Breckenridge, and close to many mountains if you want to do any hiking or climbing. Would love to come back.

Fantastic cabin living at 10,000ft !
This is our second year staying at Moose Creek Chalet...two weeks each year. Great altitude with cool mornings and abundance of critter life! All you will need is included in the spacious A-Frame cabin, for a wonderful mountain experience! Easy access to the main road and to the local town of Fairplay, Colorado. We will definitely return to this place again, when in the area!

Great place to stay
Beautiful property. Very roomy. There is a full kitchen with a toaster & blender. Love that it has a washer & dryer. The whole place is comfortable. We loved that there were blankets on the the comfy couch. Everything worked well including the barbecue. The tv had a DVD player in it. The only problem I had, since I am 5' 2" was the master bed was very tall. We just went and bought a step stool, which we took for home. The bed was extremely comfortable. The place is well insulated so it did not get too hot.

Secluded and peaceful
We totally enjoyed our 3 nights here. We were comfortable and enjoyed the seclusion and the beautiful surroundings. This place is one of the nicest we have ever stayed in. The kitchen was so well equipped. The owners seemed to think of everything a guest could possibly need. It would have been nice if a box of Kleenex was provided, but we managed without it. I would also suggest that the shower curtain rod in the downstairs bathroom be raised up, or else shorten the shower curtain, because it dragged into the tub about 8 inches. The mattress on the bed in the upstairs bedroom may need to be replaced, because if two people sleep on the bed you would tend to roll towards the center. But overall, the place is great and we would recommend it, and may even go back sometime.
Nice spacious cabin in the woods, with several amenities. In reality this cabin is much larger than VRBO photos depict. Also included was use of a private pond stocked with trout which my kids enjoyed. My boys caught more trout in this pond than all 3 gold medal trout streams/rivers we visited (Tasmanian devil 7gram lures worked best). Outdoor amenities include firepit, grill, front&back porches and upstairs large balcony porch. This cabin is also well stocked. Local management are quick to respond to any questions or requests. Fairplay is a good central location if you plan to visit several places near to (Buena Vista-whitewater rafting/ziplining/trail riding, Arkansas River, Royal Gorge, Pikes Peak, Breckenridge, Dillon Lake, Platt River, Cripple Creek, 11-mile Canyon/Reservoir and several other parks/trails mentioned in the owners description).
