Best vacation ever
After seeing all the 10/10 reviews on VRBO, I had to say I was skeptical. But after arriving at this cabin, I realized why all the reviews were so good. We have stayed at a lot of properties over the last 8-10 years, and this is by far the best stocked cabin we have ever stayed in. It had everything that we needed, and was labeled very well to be able to find things without looking all day. The view of the surrounding mountains is amazing, and the cabin itself is truly a beautiful home that we have enjoyed thoroughly over the last several days. We saw moose almost every day when we would go to town, and the owners were the best I have ever experienced at communicating with us to answer questions or make sure the cabin was running perfectly (even on the weekend!). It sounds like a sales pitch, but this cabin and it's owners truly stand out as one of the best experiences we have had with VRBO ever. Our family is very thankful that we were able to stay here, and I look forward to returning in the summer or fall to see the area again. 10/10 all day long!!

Fantastic! 👍⭐️
Wonderful home, lot, views, finishing, extras….absolutely great! Note: it is a good 40 min drive to Breckenridge and this property is out in the middle of the mountains that REQUIRES a 4WD in the winter. No “quick trip” to the grocery store. But if you plan ahead, this is absolutely better than staying “in town” and not missing out on all this place offers. We’re planning to go back this summer. Again, just prepare ahead of time with shopping to do meals at home and you won’t even want to leave this place other than a trip to the slopes or tube hills in Break for a day. Hosts is SUPER quick and good with communication. I was very impressed with it on many different levels! A number of little complains about things that could have been better, but remember you’re renting out a place in the middle of the Rocky Mountains, so come on! Overall: very happy and will be renting it out again without hesitation.

Beautiful Location
The house was beautiful and well stocked. There are excellent amenities in the house (hot tub, pool table, games, puzzles, etc) The beds were comfortable as well which was a bonus. We would stay there again.

Really nice cabin!
Everything about the property was just as expected - the house came furnished with just about anything and everything you could possibly need. Very well thought out by the hosts! Amazing property and nice amenities, such as the hot tub with a gorgeous outlooking view. Really hard to beat! Only complaint from me was the driveway situation in winter time, which the hosts did warn about. They advised on having a 4WD vehicle for the steep-incline driveway - our car rental company ran out of 4WD cars and we got stuck with 2WD. The driveway is steep and was solid ice underneath a thin blanket of snow.. So take caution for your winter stay! We ended up parking our 2WD cars at the top of the driveway. Really wish the driveway was salted or even topped off with some crushed gravel for better traction. Just sharing for awareness, but the hosts did warn about this. Still 5 out of 5 starts in my book, simply because this minor bit did not take away from the rest of the features/qualities of the home. Pictures and description are all accurate - so there were no surprises. The hosts are great communicators also. We did see a moose one day on the road a mile up from the house! Thanks for having us!

Thanks Dan. Glad you enjoyed your stay & we would welcome your group back anytime. We wish there was a better solution for the driveway. We provide lots of ice melt for guests as well as shovels and chains if needed. As stated in the property description you can not access the home Oct-May without an AWD vehicle (our driveway is plowed but since we're off a county road, we can't guarantee the road is plowed as regularly.). We've been told there's no use adding sand or gravel as it gets plowed up and there's no predicting snowfall.

Spacious Mountain Home
We had a group of 18 people and two dogs. Youngest person was 16. We were very comfortable in the house and never felt like we were in each other’s way. The house is spacious and beautiful. The kitchen and the house overall is very well stocked. Everything we needed was already there. The hosts were professional and personal. There were a lot of small, thoughtful extras that made the stay that much better. Soon after check-in, the hosts unobtrusively checked to see if we needed anything and when we did reach out, they responded immediately, even when it was late at night.

Secluded Wedding Weekend
We had the most beautiful stay and the most beautiful small intimate wedding ceremony and celebration here. We arrived on December 1st and it started snowing. It snowed the entire weekend and while it was too windy to do a ceremony outside, we made due with the beautiful living room with tons of natural light from the windows. It was a wonderful weekend! The hosts were very quick with responding to questions about snow plows so we could leave on time without any issues. We highly recommend staying here, it’s the perfect cozy getaway!

My friends and I had a great time at the Mangy Moose. It was well stocked and had great amenities, as well as a beautiful view. We saw quite a few moose. The hosts were very communicative and flexible which was very helpful! I would happily return to this home in the future.

Sounds like you had a great time! We are disappointed that you left us our only 4 star review. We went above and beyond allowing an early check-in and late checkout. The cleaners arrived after your group and found the house in terrible shape. I'm assuming you knew we would leave a lower score for you, which is why you only gave us a 4 despite raving about the property and the flexible check-in and check-out times.

Great place , greater host
It was a very short and sweet stay. We arrived late at night. The house was warm, cozy and well equipped. The morning views from the balcony and the backyard is spectacular. Soon as we left the house, our car got stuck in a ditch full of snow . It was cold and the towing company estimated about two hours to winch out the car. We asked robert, the host if we can go back in the house despite it was already past 10:00 am . Not only robert let us in but he offered us to use all the hot cocoa and drinks inside the house to keep us warm. We stayed for two hours until our car got towed. My mom doesnt speak english but she did ask me to convery a big thank you to robert. You can find beautiful homes, but having a kind gentleman like robert is very rare. Highly recommended !!!

Kia was a great host! Her communication is superb – from immediate initial contact, to instructions beforehand, to several messages during the stay to check everything was ok.

Great time at the Mangy Moose
The property was very well setup for entertaining a large group! It was very comfortable with many places to hang out as a group or escape for quiet time or a nap. We liked how the house sat close to the valley with the neighboring houses up higher near the road. It felt like we were very secluded. We saw moose, deer, and many other forest animals from the back deck. Overall we had a great time and the house was fantastic.

Amazing time!
Hi Kia & Rob, we thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home. We enjoyed every moment of it. It was an amazing time with me and my family for my birthday weekend :). The place is magnificent. We really enjoyed the furnishings and decor. As well as the seclusion and views. Unfortunately, we didn’t see any moose but some of my family saw a moose and her baby as they were driving in :). The place was very cozy and warm once we figured out the heat. Loved that you had a fully stocked kitchen. It was high quality dishes, utensils, pans, etc. We also really loved the table spaces in each part of the house. Great for big parties of ppl. The game room downstairs was a big hit with the pool table and the hot tub. Everyone also loved the bathroom suites to the rooms downstairs. We also loved the master. The loft was also a nice addition. We thought the heated rooms above the garage were fabulous. Hope to come back in the summer!

Beautiful home, incredible view!!
My family and friends had a wonderful stay at the “Mangy Moose”!! You definitely need four-wheel-drive for winter months! It was so much fun driving up to the house! They have a heated garage big enough for two vehicles . We saw Moose every day we were there! The home is fully stocked with everything you need for a comfortable stay! The hot tub was a big hit after long days of skiing! The sunrise in the mornings are amazing! The deck is incredible! Every room has their own thermostat, so guests can adjust accordingly. The home is only 16 miles from Breckenridge ski resort & plenty of options for dining & groceries in Fairplay/Alma. The owners were very responsive with any questions! If you’re looking for a real mountain home experience, this is the one!
