12 Reviews of Property 264498 in Fairplay, Colorado

My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights in January 2011. The apartment is extremely comfortable with everything you need and more including humidifiers for the dry winter air, and books to cuddle up with. The private views from the windows are incredible! We loved being greeted in the driveway by the owner's husky when returning home from skiing. She was very friendly and gentle. The owners were extremely friendly and helpful and even loaned us their new snowshoes and gave us drivng directions to some trails. We decided to take a day off from skiing and do the snowshoeing for free which was great! The apartment is probably one of the best values I have found and we have stayed in vrbo rentals around the world. Book this apartment, you will not be disappointed!

Before renting, I read the reviews and thought it can't be THAT great--it's better. Bernie and Linda are great hosts. The apartment has all you need and more. I have never been disappointed with a VROB rental but this was the absolute best. Five stars arent enough for this one!

Our stay was just what we were looking for--an affordable, close-to-home (but not too close) getaway for the weekend, with hiking and sightseeing easily accessible. The Nagy's were perfect hosts, offering tips for hiking and weekend activities. The condo itself had everything we needed--even a pack-n-play for our 6 month old! We highly recommend this property!

If you're looking for a base from which to explore central Colorado, you won't find a better place. I don't believe there's a better value to be found in the area for a couple. This apartment has all the comforts of home -- comfortable living room, excellent satellite TV, good internet, full kitchen with quality appliances, large bedroom with VERY comfortable bed and a sitting area, large tiled bathroom with quality fixtures, and a large utility room with top quality washer and dryer. Although the pictures very accurately depict the appearance and condition of the apartment, it is more spacious than the pictures can convey. My wife and I stayed a week, and we could not have been more comfortable.

But the best thing about Haus Edelweiss is its wonderful location. It is in the midst of lush evergreen and aspen forest and 12 to 14,000 foot mountain peaks. There are numerous side roads and hiking trails into the mountains nearby. for exploring and enjoying the beauty of the wildflowers in summer. Fairplay is a very friendly town with a surprising number good restaurants for its size and a good sized grocery store, and it's only 20 miles to Breckenridge if you need more.

The owners are an added bonus. They are exceedingly nice, responsive, and helpful. Having lived in the area for many years, they have lots of advice and suggestions to help you get the most out of your stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Haus Edelweiss!

My wife and 18 year old son stayed for 4 nights in the middle of July. For starters, the climate of the area was perfect - 70 degree highs - and "sweatshirt weather" lows. (When you are from 100 degree heat in Kansas in mid summer....the climate was perfect!) The mountains were beautiful. The area (South Park) was not too remote, yet not at all congested or a tourist trap. We spent a lot of time trout fishing -one day up 4-mile creek and a couple days in Tomahawk State WIldlife Area (really, really nice trout stream with no people). Even novice trout fishermen like us caught trout. We hiked a nice trail and did South Park City in FairPlay one morning. South Park City is very nicely done and a must do.
Now for the apartment. Do not let the word "apartment" turn you off. It was every bit a super nice "condo" if that makes you feel better. It was VERY clean, new feeling and comfortable. It is a few miles north of Fairplay on a mountain ridge - easy to get to - yet somewhat secluded. It has a new washer and drier, wonderful kitchen area with large fridge, stove, dishwasher, etc. Essentially it is the basement area under the hosts house fixed up as a very nice apartment. Access is like a giant walk-out basement with patio facing some beautiful peaks....and you can park on asphalt 10 feet away from the door. My family can think of nothing we disliked about the accommodations. It beats a hotel or high dollar lodge hands down. Arranging things was as easy as it gets and the price was incredibly reasonable (no cleaning fees or hidden costs, either!). Finally the host were super individuals. They were available for any help, yet did not intrude at all. We have no regrets whatsoever staying here. It is HIGHLY recommended.

We just returned from 10 outstanding days at the Nagy's home in Fairplay. Their clean, modern apartment has everything you need for a comfortable stay and is even better than the photos show. We were able to cook in a lot because this modern, well-designed apartment has everything you need. After following Bernie's recommendations for a day trip to the various trails and sights in the area the apartment is a great place to relax and refresh. Bernie knows the area very well (and most if not all the people in it!) so follow his recommendations on what to see, where to eat and how to get around the area. It's like having your own tour director on site. Also, if you have a chance to be there for Burro Days next year we would recommend it - a well-planned and fun weekend. Thanks Bernie and Linda for a great vacation!

My husband and I, both in our twenties stayed here February 6 for a week. The house was perfect for all our needs! We took advantage of the full kitchen and cooked quite a bit. We came to ski for the first time and by recommendation from Berny, went to Monarch abt an hr and a half away and we ended up going there all 3 days to ski for the great deal and kind people. We will definately stay here again. It was a perfect location between anywhere you would like to go! Berny and Linda were excellent hosts. It was completely private until you needed something. Then they were always more than happy to help! Highly recommended!!!

My wife, daughter and I stayed for one week at the Haus Edelweiss last December. We really enjoyed the accomodations

Wewere able to sled, snow- shoe, and cross country ski almost in front of the property and Breckenridge skiing was just a short drive from the location. The apartment was like new and clean and having a new washer and dryer was a definite plus for our needs. It was verycomfortable. The hosts were friendly, helpful and knowledgable of the area. We would definitely stay there again. Great! 4 star location tucked away
