Please see the same 'Irish Rose' listing under Breckeridge--it has additional photos! Listing number is 13578.

Completed in May 2002, this mountain cabin is located on the historic Mosquito Gulch Trail. Just 15 miles south of Breckenridge, it is the perfect spot for either a secluded get-away or a ski vacation at a fraction of the cost.

Centered on ten acres of pine and aspen, the Irish Rose was designed to accommodate those who want a true Colorado experience. With Mosquito Creek flowing nearby, you will enjoy spectacular views of Pennsylvania and London Mountains as you relax with family and friends.

If summer hiking, biking or four-wheeling is your desire, four of Colorado's 14,000 foot peaks are at your doorstep, providing some of the best hiking and driving trails in the world. Tackle the summits of Mount Bross, Mount Democrat, Mount Cameron, and Mount Lincoln... all in a single day!

Gold pan on the local creeks, explore 'Buckskin Joe' trail, and visit the ghost town of Park City. The historic mining towns of Alma and Fairplay are also nearby. Mountain bike to your heart's content or drive the legendary 4x4 'Mosquito Pass' into Leadville. Pick wildflowers and view wildlife--there's something for everyone!

If winter activities are your goal, the beautiful village of Breckenridge is just a short drive north where you can enjoy premier Colorado skiing, dining, and shopping. Keystone, Arapahoe Basin, and Copper Mountain are also close. Or, stay near home and cross-country ski to your heart's content. We have it all!

The Irish Rose was built with families in mind. The main level has a great room with a gas fireplace and floor-to-ceiling windows showcasing the beautiful mountains and trees. It is surrounded by a huge 32 by eight foot wrap-around deck. A full kitchen and dining area are also on this level to create an open, spacious environment. Pets are NOT allowed, No Smoking.

There are two main level bedrooms, one with a queen bed, and one with bunk beds geared for up to four kids. The great room sofa also pulls out to a queen-size bed. The master bedroom loft has a queen bed, washer and dryer, along with a small private balcony. There are full baths on both the main level and the loft. (The cabin also has a lower level with a private entrance which is occupied by Kay, the landlord. Kay is in her 60's and is quiet, very knowledgeable on the local area, and can assist with anything you need. If total privacy on the land is desired, please inquire.)

Experience the Rocky Mountains in the comfort of the 'Irish Rose.' At over 10,000 foot elevation, it's as close to heaven as you can get!

About Rich

We are a military family who built this home in 2002 and are blessed that we can share it with others!

Rich purchased this cabin in 2002
Why Rich chose Alma

We have long ties to this part of Colorado. The Irish Rose feels wild and secluded but is close to Alma and Faiplay, and a short drive to the mountain ski town of Breckenridge.

What makes this cabin unique

The Irish Rose has 10 acres of total seclusion with pine, aspen, a river, and amazing views. Many houses on the internet may look similar, but very few properties give you the total Colorado experience. Look at our guestbook and see that it will be a unique and memorable experience!

Wonderful stay at the Irish Rose

5 of 5
Submitted: February 19, 2013 Stayed: February 2013
We loved our long weekend at the Irish Rose! We have stayed at many private rental properties, and this was one of the best experiences we've had. From the beginning, Rich, the owner, was in touch promptly and couldn't have been more helpful and friendly in giving us advice on our visit. Upon arrival, we found the house warm and cozy and clearly well-cared for. Furthermore, despite reading reviews about how well-appointed the house is, we were still surprised at all that was available in the house. We were two families with five children (total), and we never ran out of glasses, plates, silverware, and we had all that we needed for a comfortable stay cooking meals (and all of those items were well-organized in drawers and cupboards, whereas we often see things thrown back into place from visit to visit). There were toys for the children to play with, board games, sleds, and much more than we expected. We drove the 30 minutes to Breckenridge for skiing and had a great time--and we were happy to be staying in Alma after experiencing the crowds there. We hope to return to the Irish Rose again--perhaps to enjoy the acreage during the summer--and would recommend it to anyone.

Thank you so much for the use of your house. Our family enjoyed a Christmas to remember. It was fabulous!!! The children got to sled and build a snowman. It was a blast. Everything we needed was there. It was a great family time and one we will never forget. Thanks so much! Reggie and Sharon

This cabin "The Irish rose" has everything! My husband & I fly for a major airline we have traveled the world & this is our favorite vacation! It was very relaxing, peaceful & brings you back to family! There is definately something for everyone to enjoy. The Platte River is great for fly fishing. The town of Alma & Fairplay are about 8 minutes away however you are secluded with the beautiful mountains all around. We cooked dinner every night & just said "do you believe this view"! Thank you for sharing your Irish Rose.......we will be back!

July Stay at the Irish Rose

5 of 5
Submitted: August 10, 2012 Stayed: July 2012
I stayed at the Irish Rose with my parents, my brother, my son and his girlfriend. We all immensely enjoyed our stay. My parents from New York enjoyed the views from the deck and living room while also appreciating being able to drive to see the London Mine from the SUV, experiencing an authentic Colorado. The rest of us enjoyed hikes up into the mountains, right from the doorstop of the cabin. All of us were impressed by the first rate facilities combined with being able to get away from the summer crowds. We also stopped at Breckenridge at the Alpine museum and Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory on the way home, which was convenient and easily accessible. We highly recommend the cabin to anyone seeking a more secluded mountain stay without having to rough it out at a campsite.

We knew our trip would be great by all of the other helpful positive reviews for the Irish Rose. It was just as we expected. Beautiful property. Well maintained. Furnished very well and comfortable. We were traveling with our 6 children ages 19-5 who also totally enjoyed our stay. There were many fun games to play indoor and outdoor.There were alot of good spots to hike and a very large supply of helpful maps and brochures.If you are looking for a secluded vacation spot, you will not be disappointed in the Irish Rose. Thanks so much!
