    This was the best rental property my guests and I have ever stayed in. The kitchen had amazing appliances and was stocked with spices and plenty of dishes/plates/utensils. Each bedroom had a clean, beautifully designed bathroom with shower toiletries, hair driers, and robes (!!) provided. The bedrooms were spacious with comfortable beds. We loved the sauna and the outdoor space with the fire pit. Will be booking this again and recommending to everyone I know.

    We stayed there this fall. It is amazing! It has everything you could need and more. It’s conveniently located in town. We loved the hot tub and the game room. Mark and his staff were very hospitable and were great to work with. They went the extra mile to make sure our stay was great. It will not disappoint!

    This home was the perfect setting for our three-day work retreat. Each bedroom included a private bathroom, providing everyone with personal space while still offering plenty of inviting areas for co-working throughout the day. The large, modern kitchen, cinema room, hot tub, and sauna made our stay both productive and relaxing. The reservation process was seamless, and the owners/property managers were responsive, professional, and attentive to every detail. This experience far surpassed the typical “vacation rental”—it’s clear the homeowners truly understand how to make guests feel comfortable and at home. We can’t wait to return and would highly recommend this property to anyone looking to experience the best of Breckenridge.

    This was the best rental property my guests and I have ever stayed in. The kitchen had amazing appliances (latte making coffee machine, massive stovetop, big refrigerator, pebble ice machine) and was stocked with spices and any kind of dishes/cups/plates/utensils you could need. Each bedroom had a clean, beautifully designed bathroom with shower toiletries, hair driers, and robes provided. The bedrooms were spacious with comfortable beds. We loved the sauna and the outdoor space with the fire pit. We were obsessed with the small details - newspapers found in the walls from the 1800s, QR codes describing the history, a cozy couch in the basement with a projector to watch TV. I could go on and on. Will be booking this again and recommending to everyone I know.

    I book large homes a couple times a year and this is far and away the most well-appointed home I have booked. It is true to the pictures/description/location, but more than that the details are so well thought out that it creates a different vacation experience than any other home I have booked. All the drawers and cabinets are labeled and full of anything you might need. The steam room and sauna actually work, the Traeger has backup pellets, the coffee maker is full of coffee and allows anyone to make a custom cup in just seconds. There are trash bags, and condiments, and spices, and dish soap, and nice towels, and good knives, and ice makers that never run out, and comfortable furniture, and sonos speakers, and instructions on how to use everything, etc, etc, etc. This list just scratches the surface on everything that is provided, it really is different than any other house you are considering. It is clear the owners took pride in this home, it will exceed your expectations.

    This was the most amazing rental property any of our family have ever stayed at! Cleanliness was top notch and the amenities were great. We hosted a small family dinner for our elopement and the main level was the most amazing space for hosting. We had a chef come cook us a meal and she said it was one of the best kitchens she had ever cooked in! We hope to come back again one day.

    The Brown was perfect for our group. They’ve done a wonderful job renovating the hotel and it was a delight to explore all the generous amenities. Pebble ice machine and Jura and traeger grill were fan favorites. Thanks for sharing this home with us. The ghost was very friendly.

    We were absolutely blown away with this property! It looks exactly like the pictures, the amenities are new, in excellent condition and everything worked flawlessly due to the communication efforts and instructional videos. We had an intimate wedding celebration and were able to host our dearest friends and family comfortably. I would consider myself so lucky to get to stay at this property again.

    We have stayed in several VRBO homes but this by far was the most comfortable and well appointed home our family has experienced! The owner and his house manager went out of their way to make sure our stay was perfect! Incredibly convenient location! We had car trouble and they even loaned us a vehicle! Thank you Mark and Andrew we will definitely come back! Silvia and Chip
