In Ski jargon, 'Black Diamonds' are the toughest ski runs and for experts only-- but you won't need to be an expert to enjoy this Rocky Mountain Luxury Alpine Lodge! At 10,300 feet, it is nestled in the heart of South Park.

You'll find the BDAL rivals fine European ski lodges and provides high end amenities without the crowded tourist feeling and high prices you will find only 17 miles away in Summit County and Breckenridge. Completely avoid the I-70 weekend & holiday traffic jams by taking US Highway 285 practically right to the house-- it is a breathtaking 1.5 hour drive from either Denver or Colorado Springs. Convenient to major highways in snowy weather, (this is VERY important!) the BDAL is beautifully tucked into pine and aspen forests with huge views.

This is a custom built, luxury 5000 sq ft home overlooking the amazing Mosquito Mountain Range - huge views of Fourteeners right out your windows or from the private hot tub on the spacious patio! Perfect for entertaining, the gourmet kitchen invites you to host large families and friends.

The vaulted Great Room with large log scissor-trusses and a stone-surround wood-burning stove creates a fabulous resort lodge experience. Plenty of wood available!
The entire upper level is heated with radiant in-floor heat.
5 large bedrooms (4 kings/2 sets of bunks) and 3 large baths will easily accommodate 12-14.
The luxury master suite is an eye-popper-- see all the features listed below. Downstairs you'll find two more spacious bedrooms, one with a king bed and the other with 2 sets of bunks (1 set memory foam full-size mattresses), and another large bath as well. The downstairs Great Room is an excellent entertainment area (Billiards, Foosball, Home Theater) to give you (and the kids!) room to spread out.

This 5 acre property has the remnants of a gold mine from the last century. There are several stocked fishing locations within 5 minutes drive. We've also cleared a ski/sledding run on the hillside above the parking pad. Hands down one of the nicest rental homes in South Park. You will find the BDAL to be an elegant retreat with a unique Rocky Mountain touch-- you'll want to come back again and again!

Things to do: ATVs are available to rent in the Fairplay area. You can also arrange horseback riding, fly fishing, hiking, dog sledding and white water rafting a short drive from the home. Biking is a big attraction in the summer. The Annual South Park Burro Race and street festival is very popular as well. In Feb each year, the Ice Sculptures in Breckenridge are truly spectacular. The activities in the area are almost limitless in all the seasons.

We have a regulation pickleball court on the parking pad for warm weather use. The net is in the garage. Bring your own paddles and balls.

Please note: please review the house rules. We have a no pets and no smoking policy. Violations will result in forfeiture of damage deposit. The water here is spectacular so no need for plastic bottles of water.

    Beautiful, well appointed and equipped home within striking distance of Breckenridge Mtn! Absolutely lovely place and a good value for CO rents. We had large family reunion with cousins from three siblings and had fantastic time gathering in the large kitchen, luxurious living room, and fun basement family/game room. Just a couple minor negatives worth pointing out for future guests. The house altitudes is 10,300 feet! for lowlanders took us several days to adjust from sickness. There were cameras all over the house including inside the front door. The check-in instructions were like a novel with so much detail we lost focus after page 4. Lastly, the bunk bedroom didn’t have bed sheets cleaned from last stay but owner compensated us for that snafu.

    We spent two weeks of comfort and connection together with friends in the middle of the mountains. The house was beautifully located with a property around that we can walk or bike to the nearby towns of Alma or Fairplay. We were driving distance to several 14ers, Breckenridge and even Colorado Springs. We liked the house, the wide open dining room was great for breakfast, lunch, dinner, BBQ, whatever. We played games, poker, pool table, foosball, and horseshoes. We used the jacuzzi and the sauna almost every day. They were amazing! The rooms were good. Four of us had our own rooms. Two had to share a bunk room. Overall good experience with everything we needed. Some of the lights were not working but the essential ones were.

    The house was exactly as shown. So roomy and allows for private space. It also provides all the basic needs plus adds so many extra amenities from kitchen appliances, semi stocked pantry, and refrigerator and toys for kids. The home is truly welcoming and accommodating.

    Our family had an amazing stay at this home! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by how clean, spacious, and well-equipped the house was. The photos don’t do it justice—it’s even more beautiful in person!The home had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The kitchen was fully stocked, making it easy to prepare meals, and the living spaces were cozy and perfect for family time. The bedrooms were spacious, and everyone slept comfortably. This home truly exceeded our expectations, and we made wonderful family memories here. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for the perfect vacation rental!

    We stayed a week at this property with family.This is a great location for a ski trip. We skied Breckenridge, Cooper and Monarch. The house was very spacious and we had a wonderful time.Don't over look the quaint shops in Alma-including a coffee shop and a Bakery (all sourdough items)across the street from the Coffee shop.We would definitely recommend this property.

    We rented this home in Alma for our family of 11 for several nights. The home was well equipped for the size of our family. During our stay, we skied, played games and enjoyed the amenities of this rental. Fortunately, the owner was willing to allow us to use their sleds on the hill on the property (we did not know we had to bring our own sleds). One highlight from our trip was when a large moose strolled along the property. Thanks...

    The perfect family home away from the hustle and bustle of Breckenridge. If you are looking for a spacious, serene, home that is perfect for up to 14 — this is it! It is located near Alma - about 15 miles from Breckenridge — although you should be prepared for the drive to take a while. The house is well equipped with everything you could possibly need. It is beautiful, yet very homey and comfortable. The Christmas tree and lights were a lovely touch! While we loved the snow, this home would be a great option year round. We love to see a lot of country, so driving doesn’t bother us a bit. We made day trips to Leadville, Frisco, and Breckenridge. We also loved the small, quaint restaurants and bars in Alma and Fairplay — all within 10 minutes of the house.A couple of notes if you are traveling with children — the sledding hill was perfect for us (ages 4 and 2) but is only half a hill (no trespassing sign). It might be a disappointment for older kids. The owners also request kids not use the hot tub or pool table. Again - not an issue with our age, but could be discouraging for older kids.

    The house is sprawling and spacious. The setup with the kitchen/living room area made it comfortable for our 10 to be together, while the downstairs area offer separation for playing games or quiet relaxing. The hot tub offers spectacular views, and can comfortably fit 4. It was a quick scenic drive to Breckenridge, and we were able to venture further in different directions to see as much of the region as we could.
