Alma, Colorado
Thanks for stopping by! Check out our cozy & quaint log cabin in Placer Valley, with exceptional mountain views, just 15 miles south of Breckenridge over Hoosier Pass.
Secluded on a 2+ acre aspen grove mixed with towering evergreens & backing up to Pike National Forest, this cabin is a slice of Rocky Mountain paradise. Whether you're looking for adventure or relaxation, the quintessential Colorado stay awaits you. Leave the hustle behind & come on up to truly get away from it all!
Firstly, WINTER IS HERE! So, if you're booking for Nov-April... 100% plan on having a winter ready vehicle. The road to the cabin is county maintained and plowed, but you will need an AWD vehicle with good tires to comfortably maneuver the mountain roads and driveway. Please contact me if you have questions on winter up here in the High Country...
We're located in a wonderfully remote mountain setting at 11,000 feet, just below a string of legendary Colorado 14er's (Mt. Bross, Mt. Lincoln, Mt. Democrat, Quandary Peak, etc). World-class hiking, fishing, camping, biking, & skiing are just minutes away. This really is the “get-away-from-it-all” Colorado cabin experience, while also not being too far off the grid. Breckenridge is just 15 miles away (~30min drive), offering endless options to feed the need for any dining & shopping ... but I still recommend you come on up to unplug !
For Summer months, there's a small network of trails on our private land, just waiting for you to explore off the back deck. Whether it's a short hike, hammock sesh, or a picnic up top, the "backyard" is picture perfect an easy getaway in to nature. The lot also backs up to Pike National Forest, so for the more adventurous souls, you're welcome to continue exploring/hiking without encroaching on any private property. During the winter, we have a set of snowshoes that you're welcome to use as well.
Looking indoors, the cabin is 3 stories with an open, quaint floor plan and a detached 2-car garage. Perfectly equipped for a romantic getaway, a few friends, or a small family. It has a Queen, Full, and Twin beds. Queen & Twin on bottom floor. Full Bed in the Loft. Please be advised, however, that the downstairs bedroom isn’t totally closed off from the upstairs (see photos of the open spiral staircase), so if you’re looking for tons of privacy indoors, this might not be the cabin for you :)
We've also finally received our Starlink internet so if you're in the market for streaming video &/or remote work, this is your spot!

Fantastic property and owner. Cabin is well appointed, modernized and just great all around. Highlights are record player, guitar, porch swing, garage, hammock. Alma and Fairplay were very charming and we enjoyed hiking and sight seeing. 100% recommended.
Highly recommend this cabin it was a wonderful stay. A lot of thought and detail went into putting us together and we really enjoyed it.
Exactly as advertised. Extremely cozy and comfortable. Home owner went above and beyond to insure satisfaction. Perfect place for my girlfriend and I to get away to for a long weekend!
Beautiful property. Perfect low-stress retreat. Owner was super responsive and attentive.
Quiet and relaxing.
Where do I even start? Wow…just wow!!! Everything we could have hoped for and more. The owner, Jared, was an amazing host and had everything we needed plus was willing to help with whatever else we needed! The cabin itself was the perfect retreat- awesome location with an amazing trail he’s put a lot of time into behind the cabin. The record player was so fun and we loved sitting on the swing on the deck in the mornings and evenings and watch the world go by! Like I put in the title, if you’re thinking about renting this cabin, just do it! Absolutely everything about it was perfect- my family and I had the best vacation!!!
Wow! The fabulous views and accessible, yet remote location alone would've won us over, but Jared has truly gone the extra mile! The cabin was spotless and welcoming, with a comfy bed, thick towels, and his-and-hers robes. We loved playing records on the turntable (so many to choose from!), catching the early morning sun on the front porch (and greeted by a family of 3 moose who strolled by!), and exploring the trails behind the cabin. Don't hesitate to keep climbing through the Pike National Forest - you'll be rewarded with more spectacular views! We hated to leave!
Perfect location, excellent hospitality and beautiful/fun cabin. Everything we wanted/needed.
We loved our family time at this cabin. It was super clean, convenient to Breck and some really great hikes! Would recommend 100%. Jared was awesome with making sure our stay exceeded our expectations! Thank you!!
The title says it all - our experience visiting Jared’s mountainside cabin was truly exceptional - from check-in to departure, none of our needs went unmet. Jared clearly thought of all of the amenities to help us wind down and feel very much like we were home away from home at his cabin in the woods. Views from the wrap-around porch alone are enough to book a stay here - even as temperatures dropped, we were outside for the majority of our time enjoying the scenery and taking walks up the mountainside. But you’ll also find that being inside the cabin provides just as much joy. We enjoyed cozy fires on the wood-burning stove, played board games, napped in the loft hammock, and put Jared’s wide variety of vinyl to great use on his record player as we spent time cooking and sipping coffee on the porch swing. There is a widescreen tv available as well, but we never once turned it on throughout our entire trip. We were lucky enough to have a surprise sunset visit from a curious fox - and even sighted a mama bear and her cub high up on the trail during one early morning hike. As far as location, Breckenridge was a quick drive further down the mountain, and we were glad to visit tiny downtown Alma for groceries as we arrived, prior to checking in. Jared’s property is situated in a fantastic spot - up the mountain away from the hustle and bustle, but close enough to town for a quick store-run. It isn’t a question of whether we’ll be returning to this cabin hideaway…it’s just a matter of when, and we are already looking at our calendars. Jared, thank you for your incredible communication with us prior to and during our stay. We couldn’t have asked for better hospitality!
