Blue River, Colorado
The Powder Pad is a charming 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom cabin nestled against the wetlands of the Goose Pasture Tarn, 3 miles south of Breckenridge. This one of a kind cabin is extremely secluded and backs to hundreds of acres of wetlands and national forest. What makes this cabin so special is the ponds and streams right out of the back door. You will experience the benefits of being in an extremely private setting - yet still being in such close proximity to Breckenridge.
In addition to the 2 bedrooms, the cabin has a loft with a Queen size murphy bed. The cabin sleeps up to 6 people - via 3 Queen size beds.
After a fun day of skiing, the hot tub will be just the ticket to warm you up. You will find this to be an ultra private hot tub experience in the most serene and private setting underneath the stars.
The Powder Pad's kitchen is stocked with all of the amenenties you may need: crockpot, pots and pans, coffee maker, blender, etc.
The living room features a flatscreen Samsung smart TV and a wood burning stove. We stock the cabin with firewood for our guests. There is nothing better than curling up in front of the fire after a day of mountain fun.
There is so much to do in all of the seasons:
In the winter months, in addition to skiing and snowboarding, you can cross country ski or snow shoe right out the back door. There are many hiking trails near the Powder Pad.
In the summer months, you and your guests will enjoy 3 decks off of the cabin that add to the living space. You can enjoy your morning coffee on the upper back deck, listening to Spruce Creek that runs right through the back yard. The beautiful ponds off of the back of the cabin boast beavers and fish. Grab a fishing pole and take a walk through 'Moose on the Loose' trail right out of the back of the cabin. Convening around the fire pit in the evening with s'mores is the perfect way to end a summer mountain day.
In the Fall, the whole scene around the cabin explodes with shades of gold. The intimate view of the famous Boreas Pass is yours to take in from either of the back decks.
There has been many wildlife spotted from the Powder Pad including our local Moose, Beaver, Deer, Great Blue Heron, Hummingbirds, Osprey, and Geese. All observed from the back deck of the Powder Pad. What will you see when you stay

The cabin was perfect for our couples trip. The location is great, just 5 minutes from town. The cabin was in great condition and beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed soaking in the hot tub with the great views from the back of the cabin. Overall, it was a great stay!
The Powder pad was a wonderful place to stay. Very comfortable. Well appointed. Has an amazing location. Quiet and exceptionally easy to get to town. Thank you for everything.
We stayed a week in July and this is the perfect place. Very comfortable, beautiful surroundings, and just far enough away from town to enjoy the peace and quiet, but still close enough to all the attractions. Great owners, and we will definitely stay again.
We had a wonderful stay and will definitely return. The welcome basket was a very nice touch. Beautiful pond with a great stream right out the back door. Close to the Breck. Thank you for the memories??️
We were looking to escape the heat in KS and found the perfect place. Sitting in the back, listening to the creek and sounds of wildlife, was just what we needed. We hiked, nines and paddleboarded. Barely scratched the surface as far as how many trails we wanted to take. We will definitely be back. The house was cool, clean and comfortable. We had everything g we needed. We only went into town twice.
We booked this home so we could run away to Colorado and get eloped. It was the perfect setup for my husband(ahh!!) and I. It was super peaceful and quiet, and felt private even if there were other homes nearby. It is super easy to find and just a few minutes away from downtown Breckenridge! We especially loved the decor and home-like feeling we had while staying at the Powder Pad. The welcome basket was a nice touch. I'll never forget our time here and we fully intend on visiting again. Highly recommended!
This place was located in an area that was peaceful with the stream running behind the home. We loved early morning views and the evening views while sitting around the fire or in the hot tub. You were able to see just how wonderful Gods land is from stream to the mountains and the stars.
Location (outside of the congestion of Breckenridge) and accommodations were excellent. Cabin had everything we needed. Nice mountain stream and pond off the back deck. We even saw a sand hill crane near the pond! We enjoyed our stay!
This is a fantastic cabin. Great location. Very clean. We will definitely be staying here again!
From start to finish our experience was second to none. Shawn was quick to respond to any & all of our questions. The cabin was very clean & convenient as advertised. We truly made memories that will last a lifetime! Thanks again for your hospitality & sharing this true gem with us!
Great place to stay for a week of skiing!! Cabin was just as advertised, everything you need for a home away from home.
Great place loved the decor and how well equipped the house was, we felt like we were at our own home every pan everything needed for breakfast and dinner nights.
Everything as advertised! Even had heated walkway between house and hot tub that kept snow clear. Nice area inside garage to store ski gear and change without dragging it all in the house.
My best friend and I stayed at this wonderful cabin. The cabin was beautiful and exactly as advertised, the scenery from the back porch was amazing. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to relax at!
The home is exactly as shown on the website. We were in love with the home and location immediately. It's very private and quiet but close enough to town if you're looking for a little more. The house was fully stocked with everything that we needed to feel at home. We left today and already talking about our next trip to Breckenridge and staying at the Powder Pad.
Wonderful experience. Hope to return!
We were thrilled with our stay at this property! Very well appointed and everything worked as it should. Loved the hot tub after a couple days of pushing ourselves hiking. Only disappointment was not seeing a moose?
We love this cabin!! Very clean and stocked with all the amenities needed to make this stay even more enjoyable. Kitchen was stocked well with cooking tools, salt/pepper, spices and sharp knives for cooking (we’ve stayed in cabins that literally had nothing). The location was perfect for hiking and visiting Breckenridge. Our favorite part was the view from the back deck/hot tub and we even saw a moose behind the cabin!! This was a vacation to remember for years!! Thanks for sharing this gem with us
We absolutely loved our stay! This is a truly magical property. Once you step into the beautiful back of the property you feel alone in the world. The babbling brook, the beaver pond with actual beavers and other wildlife...We couldn't have asked for a more wonderful retreat. The cabin was very clean and exactly as shown in the pictures. Fabulous custom touches. Definitely one of the best properties that we have stayed in! We hope to be back soon.
Two guys came to Breckenridge late August for hiking. Location is very secluded 2.5 miles south of town. Rear of cabin faces endless vista of upper marshy tributaries to nearby lake and Boras Pass mountains. The cabin had everything but a toaster-we looked and may have missed it. The two bathrooms are on main floor requiring upper private loft bedroom and Murphy bed in 'sitting area' to travel up in down for late night visits. The Murphy bed in located in 'sitting area' outside private bedroom- thus no privacy for Murphy bed if 6 adults at cabin. We didn't try the Murphy bed, but the two bedroom beds were fabulous. The hot tub was premier and would hold 5 adults comfortably. All appliances worked perfectly, especially the furnace, which we used every night in late August! The location of this very secluded cabin on the outskirts of Breckenridge makes this place a 5 star+ destination. The moose cow and calf that hung out in back yard for 45minutes on our last day was icing on the cake!
It was awesome!
This cabin is perfection when it comes to a mountain getaway! It was our second time staying at the Powder Pad. The hosts are responsive and thoughtful - we wanted for nothing! Between exploring downtown Breckinridge, hiking, and taking in all that the cabin property has to offer (hot tub, cozy reading spots, and viewing wildlife from the balcony) my family thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We cannot wait for our next visit!
Beautiful functional home in the perfect spot and personal touches made for an effortless and wonderful stay. We will be back.
My BFF from Seattle and I (from MN) met in Breckenridge for a long weekend of hiking and catching up. This cabin couldn't have been more perfect! It ended up snowing all weekend, but since the cabin is less than 3 miles from Breckenridge, it was no big deal. I will absolutely stay here again!!
