If you're looking for a ski getaway weekend with a large group, whether for business, family, or…read morepleasure, this is your rental. While it looks like a small, quaint home from the outside, it completely opens once inside, and easily accommodates a large group. The entrance to the home is to the rear and faces the mountain, sharing a parking lot with Blue River Bistro and almost adjacent to Daylight Donuts, the locals' favorite spot for donuts and breakfast sandwiches. The home is not ski in/ski out, but a very close walk to the gondola that takes you to the base of the mountain. The location on Main Street is fantastic to enjoy the true ski town of Breckenridge, as shops, boutiques, restaurants and bars are right down the street in easy walking distance.
Upon entering the house, you go thru a small ski/dry room for we skis/snowboards (this, in fact, was the only thing we wished was a little larger in the house) and into a large dining area, complete with a large dining room table. The kitchen, complete with a welcome bottle of wine & owners' contact information, is slate tile on the floors, stainless steel appliances, and a Viking grill with pop-up background.
The living room(s), there are two, are furnished with excellent taste, Pottery Barn-style, and comfortable. The front living room (near the kitchen) has a large drop-down projection screen, fantastic for watching NFL football on the Sunday afternoon we were there. The back room also has a 42inch+ TV that was used for watching movies while the game was on, and also for more quiet reading and relaxation.
The bedrooms are all fantastically furnished, sleigh beds, comfortable furnishings and accoutrements, with TVs in most of the rooms. Most are queen-size beds, and there is a bedroom in the basement with two sets of bunk beds. One of the bedrooms even has a large hot tub in the bathroom, that easily fits 4-6 people.
Lastly, outside, there's a hot tub on the deck, fantastic for relaxing after a long hard day on the mountain.
The owners were fantastic to deal with, and overrall, this is just simply a fantastic ski retreat! (Only caveat is to watch out for the town cops...they're ready to trap and record speeding tickets)
