Photos and Description of the Alma vacation house rental
Lodge, 4 Bedrooms, 3 Baths, (Sleeps 8-10), 17 breathtaking mi from Breckenridge

In ski jargon, 'Black Diamonds' are the toughest ski runs for experts only-- but you won't need to be an expert to enjoy this incredibly gorgeous Alpine lodge! At 10,500 feet, it is nestled in the heart of South Park. Western Frontier meets elegance in this luxury home. You'll have everything you want without the crowded tourist feeling and high prices you will find only 15-20 minutes away in Breckenridge and Summit County. Completely avoid the I-70 weekend & holiday traffic jams by taking US Highway 285 practically right to the house-- it is 1 1/2 hours from either Denver or Colorado Springs. Convenient to major highways in snowy weather, it's beautifully tucked into pine and aspen forests with huge views. No tired, dark 'cabin' with shabby furniture and small beds here, but 5800 sq ft of custom built luxury overlooking the amazing Continental Divide - huge views of Fourteeners right out your windows or from the private hot tub! Gourmet entertainment kitchen (with Bose sound system for your Ipod or IPhone), 4 large bedrooms (3 kings) and 3 large baths will easily accommodate 10. The luxury master suite is an eye-popper-- see all the features below for it, there is a second king suite upstairs. (We have provided several air mattresses as well). The vaulted Great Room with large log scissor-trusses and a stone-surround wood-burning stove create a fabulous mountain lodge experience. Plenty of wood available! The exercise room upstairs has five large view windows and a Bose CD/Ipod sound system, spinning bike and elliptical trainer. Downstairs you'll find 2 more spacious bedrooms, one with a king bed and the other with 2 sets of bunks, and another large bath as well. The downstairs Great Room is a great entertainment area 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, the water there even has two schools of Rainbow Trout (just for looking--no fishing please--they are just getting established! There are several stocked fishing locations within 5 minutes' drive.) We've also just cleared a ski/sledding run on the hillside behind the house! Sleds & helmets and snow shoes provided. Hands down one of the nicest rentals in Southpark. You will find this home to be an elegant resort with a unique mountain touch-- you'll come back again and again!

We will accept Paypal, checks or Echeck. Please no credit cards.

About Teresa Lansford

We're a USAFA military family. After traveling the world, we chose to settle down in the high mountains of Colorado. We split our time between the Front Range and our mountain home to relax and play.

Teresa Lansford purchased this house in 2007
Why Teresa Lansford chose Alma

This is one of the most beautiful places in the world. We enjoy the convenience of all the different kinds of mountain fun in our own front yard. While we are in the mountains, it only takes 2 mins to be on the hwy to Summit county.

What makes this house unique

After a great day of skiing, we don't have to drive the I 70 bumper-to-bumper traffic for hours to get home. We are in the middle of Fourteeners, gold medal fishing, biking, and hiking--God's country. Use the spotting scope in the great room to look for bears and elk on the divide!

We stayed here along with another family. We were two big families and there was plenty of room for all of us. The kids loved the sledding hill and the many sleds provided. This home is perfectly set up for large families with children. We couldn't have picked a better home! It was even more beautiful in person!! Neither the adults or children wanted to leave. We drove up from Texas and were hoping there would still be snow on the ground. To our surprise there was plenty of snow on the ground and the kids were so excited! Such a gorgeous home with everything you could possibly need. You cannot go wrong staying here!

We had a wonderful stay at this truly beautiful home. It was close enough to Breckenridge for us to spend the day skiing but allowed us to get away from the crowds in the evening. My husband and I and our 4 boys spent hours of quality family time in the game room, playing foosball, pool, and pinball. The house was tucked away far enough from the road so that it was quiet and relaxing. We would definitely recommend this house to family and friends and hope to go back ourselves.

I rented out BDAL for my bachelorette party, which really ended up being an opportunity for friends to ski, enjoy beers and relax in the hot tub and sauna! BDAL has literally everything you could need on a vacation, and it's much comfier than the ski condos I've rented in places like Keystone and Breck. My out of town friends were so grateful for the vistas and I was just amazed at what a beautiful home I found. We also had a toddler in our party and there were all the things we needed for the baby which helped A TON with prep and packing. Teresa was really friendly and I thought the instructions she and the family provided helped make the weekend even more relaxing ... we didn't have to figure anything out. It's also great to be able to get to the mountains on 285 and avoid 70!! Wonderful experience, I don't see how you could be disappointed.

Christmas 2012 will forever be a precious and wonderful reflection because I was with family and because of our fantastic surroundings found in this amazing mountain home. Although it gives the romantic impression of rustic on the surface, one is spoiled with luxury on the inside. Great beds, comfortable couches, fancy t.v.s, modern appliances, big showers, cozy fireplaces, and entertainments such as a billiards table, sauna, jacuzi, video games, and board games give visiters plenty of things to do together when not venturing out into the wilderness or onto the ski slopes. To top it off, the hosts were careful to check in to make sure everything was as was advertised and that we were happy and supplied with what was needed to make the trip a success. We have no criticisms or concerns, only a deep appreciation that we were able to enjoy such a place over the holiday.

The description of the property was very accurate in the VRBO listing. The photos accurately reflected the rental's appearance and amenities. The property was very clean and well maintained. The owner was extremely helpful. There were little guides left everywhere to help you know how to operate things in the home. One night out electricity went out due to a nearby auto accident and Theresa was extremely helpful in keeping us posted on the status of the electricity being restored. She was also very helpful in explaining what we could do about feeling a little down due to the altitude. Very nice lady! I would recommend this property to anyone who asked. There are two towns within 5 miles of the home that are just adorable. Breckenridge is about 15 miles away and we enjoyed skiing and shopping there. The home had a lot of stuff for our family. The sledding hill and sleds at the house were a BLAST! We had an awesome time and would love to visit again!
