The Irish Rose has become a vacation favorite for guests from all over the world! Just take a look at our guestbook comments below! This mountain cabin is located on the historic Mosquito Gulch Trail. Just 15 miles south of Breckenridge, it is the perfect spot for either a secluded get-away or a ski vacation at a fraction of the cost.
Centered on ten acres of pine and aspen, the Irish Rose was designed to accommodate those who want a true Colorado experience. With Mosquito Creek flowing nearby, you will enjoy spectacular views of Pennsylvania and London Mountains as you relax with family and friends. A seven person hot tub sits out front in the location of an old historic mine if you want to relax and enjoy the view from there!
If summer hiking, biking or four-wheeling is your desire, four of Colorado's 14,000 foot peaks are at your doorstep, providing some of the best hiking and driving trails in the world. Tackle the summits of Mount Bross, Mount Democrat, Mount Cameron, and Mount Lincoln... all in a single day!
Gold pan on the local creeks, explore 'Buckskin Joe' trail, and visit the ghost town of Park City. The historic mining towns of Alma and Fairplay are also nearby. Mountain bike to your heart's content or drive the legendary 4x4 'Mosquito Pass' into Leadville. Pick wildlowers and view wildlife--there's something for everyone!
If winter activities are your goal, the beautiful village of Breckenridge is just a short drive north where you can enjoy premier Colorado skiing, dining, and shopping. Keystone, Arapahoe Basin, and Copper Mountain are also close. Or, stay near home and cross-country ski to your heart's content. We have it all!
The Irish Rose was built with families in mind. The main level has a great room with a gas fireplace and floor-to-ceiling windows showcasing the beautiful mountains and trees. It is surrounded by a huge 32x8 foot wrap-around deck. A full kitchen and dining area are also on this level to create an open, spacious environment. Pets are NOT allowed, No Smoking.
There are two main level bedrooms, one with a queen bed, and one with double bed and trundle geared for up to three kids. The great room sofa also pulls out to a queen-size bed. The master bedroom loft has a queen bed, washer and dryer, along with a small private balcony. There are full baths on both the main level and the loft.
The cabin also has a lower level with a private entrance in the back which is only used occasionally by the owners during periods of maintenance and upkeep. It is never rented and will almost always be unoccupied during your stay.
Experience the Rocky Mountains in the comfort of the 'Irish Rose'. At over 10,000ft elevation, it's as close to heaven as you can get!

My family and I had a very relaxing time at this home. The house was very clean. The view from the main room was just fantastic to see every morning. The owner graciously allowed us to check in a little early since we were coming straight from a campground in Leadville. There were a few mosquitos by the hot tub, but this was expected due to the close proximity to water. We just set up a thermacell and enjoyed a nice soak. Lots to explore right in the “backyard” of the house. We hiked for hours and saw many wonderful rocks. The old mining facility nearby was a neat look into the past of the area. Initially what I felt was a complaint was the wifi that kicked your device off after about an hour and requiring you to log back in to use it, but I came to appreciate the silence of my phone and it really let me keep my eyes on the beautiful nature around us and not glued to a dumb little screen. Coming from Austin, Texas, it was the perfect getaway from the city and all the city sounds you never realized your brain just adapts to while in a big city. The sound of the river, the wind thru the trees, and the birds chirping in the morning without any other human-made noises felt like a different planet. A wonderful, peaceful, relaxing planet of calm. Thank you for letting us stay at your wonderful home and we would definitely like to come back many more times.
Spent a couple nights with older kids and we had a blast. The property had everything we needed and was very well maintained - the pictures don’t do it justice. Tons to do on or close to the property with lots of room to roam and explore - we got to explore parts of the abandoned Brownload mine and even had a visit from a female moose which walked right up to the deck. Just a few miles further down Mosquito Pass we were able to explore the old North London mine. We definitely plan to stay here again!
This was the perfect place to distance responsibly given this time. The entire family enjoyed our stay. Whether it was sitting on the deck, playing with all the games provided, kids learning what VHS tapes are or fishing it was perfection! Thank you for being such great hosts. We will be back!
Communication with owners was excellent! Booked before COVID and kept in touch throughout. Property was amazing! Cabin was clean and well stocked. Great location for many adventures or just peace and quiet. Loved The Irish Rose and would love to go back! My family and I had the best time!
Everything went smoothly. Communication was excellent. The house was clean & had everything we needed. My family & I had a wonderful time.
Exactly what we were looking for, a secluded stay on a beautiful property!
Great
All of the accommodations were great for my family and I. The views were spectacular for a spectacular getaway that was close enough to neighboring towns. We would stay here again!
We had a lot of fun. The place was gorgeous. Only minor gripe was the internet want working most of the week, but the ownersaid he was going to get that fixed. We didn't mind to much considering the gorgeous setting. Also this property is at a very high altitude so be ready for that. Altitude can make you uncomfortable if you're not used to it but this was mentioned in the ad and we were prepared.
Everything was just as we expected. Even with the snow, it was easy to access and the owner was in communication with us as much as we needed. Very clean, cozy, cabin-like feel. Will definitely come back!
