About this property

Cozy Home Among the Aspens, Pet Friendly w/ Outdoor Gas Firepit - Elg Hus

Elg Hus is an adorable cabin nestled in the woods near Breckenridge. The location is perfect for skiing and boarding in Breckenridge, ATVing, hiking, or just relaxing and enjoying the peaceful solitude.

The home has 2 bedrooms and one bath. The master office room has a queen pull out and the second bedroom has bunk beds with a queen bed on bottom and a full bed on top. There is a bath with a shower/tub combo. The bath also has a washer and a dryer.

The big family room has many options for comfy seating and a television with satellite programming as well as a DVD player so bring along your favorite movies. There is a cozy wood stove that adds to the charm of the home. The kitchen is well equipped with all dishes, utensils, and pots and pans. You will have everything you need. There is a dining table for 2 with additional seating at the kitchen counter top for two people.

The home has a large deck on back of the house with great views. In the summer months, there is a stream right by the house. In the colder months, it is a beautiful winter wonderland.

Elg Hus' ski venues (Copper Mtn., Keystone, Vail, Monarch, Ski Cooper) are within half and hour to two hours away. Breckenridge is only 23 miles from the home. Other winter activities nearby include cross country skiing, snowmobiling. During the summer, there's white water rafting, hiking, ATV trails, biking, fishing, hunting, and camping. You can relax and just enjoy the natural beauty or head out to the nearby towns/resorts/parks, and enjoy the unlimited winter and summer activities the area has to offer.

In the summer you will be in the center of all activities including old mine ruins, Montgomery Reservoir, Mt. Lincoln, Mt. Bross, Mt. Quandry and many more. Fairplay (just 10 miles away) is the activity center of the Colorado Rocky Mountains and is often referred to as the Base Camp for all activities some of which include hiking, mountain climbing, horseback riding, ice climbing, fishing, hunting, rafting, 4-wheeling, ATVing, mine exploring, canoeing, kayaking, and much much more. Alma is only 5 minutes away and offers dining, shopping, and entrances to some of the most beautiful drives in Colorado such as Kite Lake, Bristlecone Pines, and Mosquito Pass.

If you can think of an outdoor activity, you will probably find it within 20-30 minutes of the cabin. It is a great home to call your "Base Camp". This is a beautiful home to spend any season of the year. The access is easy and 4-wheel drive is not a necessity in the summer but is required in the winter months. You can find all of these activities within a drive of the home:

* FISHING ... Gold Medal/Blue Ribbon Fishing. 5 area lakes and public river a short drive away

Perfect home and location for a quick getaway!
This is our second stay within the past few months at Elg Hus. It's a great place to stay if you are skiing at Breck. Close enough to get there quickly but away from the hustle and bustle when you just want to relax at the end of a ski day. Plus being able to take our 8 year old dog with us is a plus! It's perfect for a couple or small family! We hope to go back for a third time during the spring or summer to see what it is like. Beautiful area and we were able to see two bull moose very close to Elg Hus!

Beautiful, scenic location
Checkin was seamless. Cabin was a little dirty in some areas, but well appointed. No hair dryer, which was an issue due to such cold temps. Very cute cabin in very scenic area. As advertised, definitely need 4x4 to reach the cabin. What is not explained until you read the house rules printed in the cabin is that snow plowing is rare and no set times. So, if you have plans and are receiving heavy snowfall, you may have to cancel those plans as snow plow timing and availability are not promised.

The cabin was nice and cozy for the cold weather. It took us a while to get use to the altitude of location there in Alma but a neighbor there told us to take some Tylenol and drink lots and lots of water. We where happy he knocked on our door to give us that advice. Internet was a bit slow. But we enjoyed our stay :):)
