Photos and Description of the Alma vacation cabin rental
Cabin, 3 Bedrooms, 3 Baths (Sleeps 10-12)

This gorgeous custom log home just completed construction as of January 1, 2013. The beautiful slate floors, high vaulted ceilings, large windows, and state-of-the-art kitchen are just some of the high quality features. The great room has two-story windows to gaze at the white-capped mountains, stars, and beautiful views. The open concept of the great room, kitchen, dining area, and breakfast counter with a big screen LCD TV/DVD player makes this an ideal area for entertaining. Keep your car inside the attached 2-car garage for easy access in and out of the cabin. The home is tastefully decorated with Southwest décor, log accents and a pellet stove for warmth after that long day of skiing. The cabin is situated on the sunny side of Glacier Ridge so that you have views from every window in the home. The large wrap-around deck affords views of Colorado’s well known Fourteeners Lincoln, Bross and Democrat amongst the beautiful aspen, pine and massive blue sky of San Isabel National Forest. The Master Bedroom has a private balcony, queen bed and dressers, luxurious bath with rain shower head and big screen TV. Attached is the master loft with full length windows, couch with queen bed, sitting chairs, tables, desk, and telescope to view the crystal clear starry nights and mountain range. The main floor bedroom has a queen bed, dresser, and windows admiring the views both west and east. The third bedroom located on the lower level has a bunk bed with a Full Size top & bottom mattress and is a great set-up for kids! All of the rooms are tastefully decorated with plenty of room and comfort for the entire family including the dog. The game room features a foos-ball table, bumper pool table and comfortable black leather sectional couch for an evening of fun. The roads are county maintained but 4-wheel drive is highly recommended due to the weather conditions in this area. If you enjoy ATVing or snowmobiling, rentals and information are available from Fairplay to Breckenridge. Interested in snow skiing or snowshoeing? You can be on the slopes of Breckenridge Resort within 20 minutes or for a full day of skiing into the night, head on over to Keystone Resort. Copper Mountain and Vail Resorts are also another option that is easily accessible. There are several world-class fishing areas including Antero Reservoir, Spinney Reservoir, Eleven Mile Reservoir, and the Platte River. Thanks to our central location, you can take advantage of Colorado’s great outdoor activities, year round.

Fantastic Experience

5 of 5
Submitted: January 3, 2013 Stayed: November 2012
My family and I stayed in this remarkable cabin over the Thanksgiving holiday break. It was so conveniently located for the outdoor activities we had planned to do. The decor and feel of the cabin was just what we were hoping for.... It felt like home. The landlords were easy to work with. Everything about our experience was perfect. We will be renting this cabin again for our next vacation.

Lovely Alma Retreat!

5 of 5
Submitted: January 3, 2013 Stayed: October 2012
We must say this has been one of the best VRBO's we have ever stayed! So much space to accommodate everyone! Privacy was not an issue!

The attention to detail, location to the small quanit town of Alma to the short commute to Brekenridge and all it offers as well as the sun rise views were immeasurable! A delightful sight to wake up to no mattter what time of day...

A lovely vision all its own....

This property offered the space, ammenities and town nostalgia we had been seeking...

Thank you!

We will not only request a reservation for next year, but will be inviting our friends and family to do the same!

All our best and gratitude!

The Sampson family and Party!
