Fairplay Vacation Rental cabin

Myselft and 6 friends recently went to Colorado. Only 2 of us had been to the mountains before and we were really hoping for a scenic and full experience. I was in charge of lodging and at first it was a headache. I went through 2 realtors and both tried to pull a sort of bait and switch on me. I had no contacts in the state and was flying blind as far as areas and what the place I was renting really looked like. Thank God for the Moody's. This cabin was amazing from the wrap around porch to the wood burning stove. The place was prestine when we arrived full of inormation about the surrounding areas. All of the amenities of home were included and the veiws were spectatcular. We arrived to 4 feet of snow and it snowed for 2 days. Thanks to the wonderful cabin with ample space it was easy to stay inside and wait out the storm. On the third day we finally got to experience the outdoors. We hiked up to about 13000 feet through tons of snow to take in the amazing view of the surrounding mountains and valleys. We took full advantage of the supplied firewood and gas grill. The table was perfect for boardgames and the two bathrooms were a huge plus with bigger group. The washer and dryer were perfect for cleaning and drying clothes after our long hikes. This was the exact experience we were looking for; close enough to a town for supplies but far enough away to feel secluded and away from it all. My group cannot wait to return, especially when it is warmer. You cannot go wrong with this cabin, we have no complaints! Thanks again to our wonderful 'hosts'!

Our family was looking “to escape” from the big city for a quiet and intimate vacation and we found it! Taking advantage of an extended weekend we joined up with good friends from Denver to enjoy this luxurious log cabin surrounded by acres of open space. The first day we took full advantage of the fishing opportunities available on the property. While my wife and kids spin casted at the pond, I hit the small streams to catch numerous brook trout. I especially had good luck fly fishing in the early evening in waters upstream widened and deepened from beaver dams. The next day we drove over to Breckenridge to shop for some hiking shoes. We were surprised by how close the ski town was to our cabin, taking about a half hour to cross over Hoosier Pass. Our final day we packed a lunch and took a day hike from our elevation of around 11,000 feet up to the summit of a mountain directly across the valley from Mount Sherman. The views were spectacular as we looked west towards old mining camps in Lake County, east towards the South Park valley and straight down at the high mountain lakes and meandering brook. The hike was especially rewarding since my son accomplished his first major mountain ascent. At night, after enjoining dinner, our group played card and board games and watched movies by the fire. From the wrap around porch we gazed at stars in the huge sky and watched the nearly full moon rise over the hill to our north. We were all very pleased with the accommodations—the complete kitchen, the comfortable bedrooms and numerous amenities. Charlie and Monica haven’t missed any details—even providing whistles, compasses and a backpack for journeys into the surrounding valleys and mountains!

We have traveled all over Colorado. We love its rustic beauty - and by far this is the most beautiful setting we've ever seen (at least where we weren't sleeping on the ground). We were looking for a quiet place to spend our 27th Anniversary. Only an hour and a half from Denver - it's the whole package! Comfortable accomodations with lots of attention to detail. Ultimate privacy off a private gated road and spectacular views from anywhere in the great room, loft or wrap around deck. And don't forget the sound from the creek outside your door ... it forms into a pond with lots of little brook trout. Almost at timberline, the meadow and peaks are mezmerizing. And the moose that trotted out from the trees was a nice addition too!!! Charlie & Monica were very accomodating and wonderful "landlords" - God Bless you both for sharing your little piece of heaven. (We only hope that all we've said doesn't ruin our chances to book in the future!)"
