About this property

Private, Mountain Views, Large Deck, Hot Tub - Alpenhaus

  • 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.

    * Four-wheel drive with adequate snow tires or chains is required November through May.
    * The home uses a well water system, which may have variability in taste, smell, or mineral content depending on time of year and usage.

    * Home monitoring camera at the driveway and front entryway. Visual only, no audio, nothing inside the home.

Incredible View

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.

Beautiful home with fantastic views

Just as advertised. House was exactly what my wife and I needed for a week away. This is the house you need if you’re looking for complete isolation with wonderful views of mountains. The house is clean and beautiful. It was so hard to leave when we had to head home. We would definitely book again if returning the area.

Incredible views, great layout for our family with little kids (could fit multiple families comfortably), and well-maintained. Day was spent hiking Pika Trail and picnicking by the river. Loved the ability to go in the hot tub after putting the kids to bed, with incredible views of the stars. Our visit was seamless and felt like a true retreat from daily life. Everyone, kids included, said they wanted to come back - we would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Awesome….once again

This is the 2nd time my family and I have stayed at this beautiful home, and once again we had an awesome time. There’s a lot of room for everyone to enjoy, both inside and outside, and even the dog found adventure exploring the two acres with the kids. This mountain gem is secluded and quiet with tons of privacy which is really nice when you’re using the outdoor hot tub. Needless to say, we’re planning to stay here again for a 3rd time next year. FIVE STARS!

The photos do not do it justice. Its secluded, quiet, incredible views, spacious, etc etc. Super dog friendly! We were able to bring 3 of our very good dogs. They even have an extra kennel if you need it. The water does have a bit of a sulfur smell but thats just due to the area its in. They do a great job with using a water softener and filters in the fridge.

Spring break getaway

We are a family of 5 with kids 13, 12 and 10. We wanted a house away from town where our kids and dogs could just play in the snow. This house was PERFECT for that! We have an suv with 4 wheel drive and didn’t have any trouble getting in and out of the property. The house is spacious, clean, easy to heat…I will say previous reviews are accurate: there were 5 towels in the entire house. If you say you can host 10 people, there should be AT LEAST that many towels. Same for pots and pans in the kitchen. We cooked every meal for a week at the house and can comfortably say the pot/pan/knife situation makes it difficult to cook for a group. We had a wonderful time and would recommend this property to anyone looking for.a quiet getaway! Also the town of FairPlay is lovely. Thank you for an awesome week!

Alpenhaus review

Our family of 7 had a pleasant 3 night stay at the Alpenhaus cabin. Very clean and spectacular views of the mountains. It would have been better if camp fire was allowable as we brought smores and always tell stories around a camp fire. We did use the indoor wood burning fireplace which was nice and there was plenty of wood. Plenty of towels provided and everyone loved the hot tub. A few things renters should be warned about - the road leading up to the cabin (Venture Rd) that GPS defaults to, is a very steep and slippery rd equivalent to a ski hill in the winter. Although warned in the email, it was the last sentence in the email but not stating how slippery and dangerous it is. Not everyone reads word to word and as an important safety precaution it should be warned at the beginning of the email. We unfortunately did take this road and got stuck. We had to call a tow to get us out of the ditch. Lastly the elevation is 10,000 ft. We could have researched this via Google but as our first time traveling to Colorado, we didn't expect it to be very hard on our bodies (hard to breathe, nauseous, light headed, leg aches, poor appetite). Overall, we enjoyed our stay and still recommend it to all.

Awesome mountain home in mountains

Plenty of room, well furnished, with an amazing view as advertised. Our family loved our stay here and appreciate the hospitality from the Owner for renting so others can enjoy! A couple useful notes about our stay….The house is definitely remote (about 15 min from nearest town) which we were looking for but also very conveniently located within an hour of all the outdoor activities for short day trips. As noted in other reviews, the mountain roads are minimally maintained and very rough as expected for a remote setup, but useful information when planning vehicles. We found the road to the north was better to travel on. It is also at a high elevation so consider taking precautions for altitude sickness if that’s something your affected by. We did have an issue with the hot tub while staying there but the management company was very responsive and easy to get ahold of, as well as worked around our schedule to take care of the issue. The response is more important to us than the issue as you can’t control when those things happen, and they were very accommodating. The dryer was a little loud and took a while to dry as well (2 cycles)…we reported this to the maintenance company but didn’t ask them to fix while we were there because it didn’t bother us but thought they might want to know for maintenance. I’m sure they will take care of it quickly like they did with the hot tub. Overall great experience from our perspective and would highly recommend to others!

Beautiful home - peaceful and secluded area!

We loved this property! The house is large, light, airy with huge windows in the great room overlooking the forest and the mountain view with comfortable furniture throughout. It was immaculately clean and well cared for. The huge deck is a wonderful place to perch and listen to the nature sounds and enjoy the view. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen very well stocked with any cooking utensils and pans needed (we did not find the issues earlier reviews mention). There were plenty of extra supplies (extra paper towels, garbage bags, toilet paper). The house is secluded (can’t see any other neighbors), quiet and peaceful. The property management company was great; very responsive and helpful with any questions before and during our stay. We would definitely stay here again. We did not use the hot tub, grill or fireplace so cannot comment on those features. A few things to note: 1. The last section of road up to the home is no joke. The listing requires a 4 WD vehicle in winter though we came in August and one section is both steep and rocky. We used a route the opposite way that’s smoother when going on excursions (the bonus was it goes by a lake area where we saw moose daily). 2. The downstairs King bedroom is not enclosed. There is a moveable screen that separates the bed from the sitting/TV area. 3. Bring soap for the shower. The property management company will instruct you to bring all needed toiletries and this includes soap or gel for the shower.
