BA luxury mountain lodge home on a private, wooded lot, overlooking the Blue River, beaver ponds, and its own private pond (catch your own dinner!). It accommodates fourteen to twenty people very comfortably.
The lodge includes a gas fireplace, and free high-speed DSL Internet access. There are five large private decks -- one with an eight-person hot tub and another with a gourmet natural gas grill, outdoor dining furniture and room for a crowd.
Other features include a fully-stocked gourmet kitchen, a home theater system complete with 52' flat screen HDTV, a two-car heated garage, a full-size washer and dryer, ping pong and Foosball tables, and all the amenities one would expect in a luxury accommodation.
The Blue River Lodge was specially built as a ski chalet -- with a stricter building code than required for a family home. The rooms are very private -- with fire-rated doors to each bedroom, and extra soundproofing throughout the house.
The main floor includes a sunny, vaulted-ceiling living room with three large leather sofas surrounding a wood-burning fireplace. Also on the main floor is a dining room with seating for fourteen, and a TV room with queen-size sleeper sofa, a love seat and chair, and a cable home theatre flat screen HDTV/VCR/DVD. The main-floor, gourmet kitchen includes two ovens, a side-by-side refrigerator (there's an additional refrigerator and chest freezer in the garage), a five-burner gas cook-top, a microwave, dishwasher, and professional-grade over-sized cooking utensils. Finally, there's a powder room, a large mudroom/back entry hall, a small bedroom with a twin bunk bed, and a lavatory on the main floor. A twin-size roll-away is provided for additional downstairs bedding.
Two separate stairways lead to the second floor with its two king-bedded rooms -- each with an en-suite full bathroom, a private deck, and a TV/VCR/DVD.
(One of these bedrooms has a twin-size roll-away, while the other has a twin-size sleeper love seat. Also upstairs are two twin-bedded rooms -- each with an en-suite shower bathroom. (One of these rooms has a large, sunny deck -- and can be made up as a king bedroom). Finally, there are two smaller twin-bedded rooms that share a large full bathroom across the hallway.
Blue River Lodge overlooks our private pond and a private section of the Blue River in Trafalgar/Warrior's Mark. It's just a short walk to the base of Peak Nine, and Main Street Breckenridge restaurants and shopping. And it's just steps away from the Breckenridge free ride shuttle stop.
