This was my first visit to Colorado, and it won't be my last. The 4 days I spent at this beautiful mountain retreat felt like 2 weeks. The property is perfectly situated, with mountain and lake views galore. The area reminded me of pictures I've seen of Banff/Lake Louise in the Canadian Rockies -- the pristine mountain lake, surrounded by mountains and trees, with cozy houses tucked in here and there, and the air heavenly scented with snow and wood-burning fires.
We went downhill and nordic skiing (the nordic ski center is about 1/2 mile from this vacation home), and both Keystone and Breckenridge are 5 and 15 minutes, respectively. We returned at sunset for a nightly Guinness and shepherd's pie at The Cala Pub, right next door. Then, we sat in the hot tub or by the fire for the rest of the evening.
This place couldn't be more comfortable and inviting -- tastefully decorated; impeccably maintained; hassle-free; comfortable beds; lots of room to spread out; suitable for several couples or families; great hikes nearby; close to shopping and restaurants.
Highly recommended. |

We stayed at this excellent property from 1/25 -
1/29 and had a wonderful time.
The location can't be beat: 10 minutes to the
Keystone lift including time to park the car, 25
minutes to Breckenridge. Also, literally steps away
from a cosy Irish pub with great beer and great
food.
The property itself felt like a second home. It's
clean, spacious, light, and warm. There's a fantastic
sound system, cable TV, a well equipped kitchen,
broadband wireless Internet (we checked slope
conditions on the laptop every morning), and hot
tub in which to watch the stars shoot across the
Colorado sky.
I miss it already and can't wait to return. |
