Modern, Creekside, Family Friendly Mountain Home w/ Hot Tub - Sense of Adventure Retreat

The Sense of Adventure Retreat is a modern and spacious, family friendly, two bedroom two bathroom home. This newly built, creekside retreat features top-of-the-line fixtures and appliances, a quiet and secluded hot tub and kid-friendly play and entertainment spaces all accented with gorgeous mountain modern decor. Only 4 miles north of Alma and less than 20 miles from Breckenridge, this home is a perfect home base for all of your Colorado Rocky Mountain adventures!

As you enter the home, you are greeted by the floor to ceiling windows of the Great Room that feature epic views of the surrounding woodlands and Placer Valley. The open-concept Great Room and Kitchen make spending quality time as a family easy! The living area features comfortable leather couches and lounge chairs centered around a beautiful, modern hearth with a wood-burning fireplace. The well appointed kitchen offers ample counter space, brand new, top-of-the-line appliances, and everything you might need to whip up your family's favorite meal. Enjoy high top seating for three at the kitchen bar - a great spot for meal time or game time alike!

The full size Central Bathroom located in the hallway, offers a standard vanity and toilet with a bathtub/shower combo so you can choose to start the day with a quick and refreshing rinse or you can sink in for a long, hot soak after all the activities a day in the Colorado Rocky Mountains may afford.

On the right at the end of the hallway, you'll find a spacious Bunk Bedroom featuring a twin over full-size bunk-bed. The bright and cheerful bedroom offers large windows, under bed storage and a spacious closet.

The Master Suite features a plush queen size bed fitted with cozy cotton bed linens, a spacious closet, large windows, and its own en suite bathroom. The bathroom offers a standard vanity, toilet, and a large, walk-in shower.

Up the steps to the open loft area, you will discover a spacious Entertainment Room, with comfortable seating centered around a mounted television, and a play area filled with a variety of games and toys that are guaranteed to keep everyone on your holiday entertained with hours of quality fun. The loft's cozy reading nook is a favorite among the kiddos, who love to tuck in to the space with a favorite book or game.

As you make your way to the ground level of the home, you enter the unfinished basement where you are greeted by the large jungle gym play area that will keep the kiddos entertained year round. The Basement has a full size washer and dryer available for guest use, so no need to waste precious vacation time waiting at the laundromat in town.

In the summer, open the windows or lounge on one of the 2 spacious decks and enjoy the peaceful bubbling and babbling of nearby Moose Creek. The upper deck offers comfortable outdoor seating, a propane BBQ grill and a large fire-table. The lower, ground level deck has a large hot tub, perfect for an evening soak after a long day of hiking or skiing.

Welcome to the Sense of Adventure Retreat!

Placer Valley is home to a variety of wildlife and this spectacular location affords opportunities to observe elk, deer and foxes (just to name a few!) right on the property. Additionally, the wetland area located less than one mile from the home is one of the few areas where you may be able to see moose in their natural habitat.

Park County is an activity center of the Colorado Rocky Mountains, it's a great "base camp!" If you can think of an outdoor activity, you will probably find it within 10-20 minutes of the cabin. Activities include skiing, snowboarding, hiking, mountain climbing, snow-shoeing, horseback riding (winter too!), ice climbing, fishing, hunting, rafting, snowmobiling, 4-wheeling, mine exploration, canoeing, kayaking, and much much more.

Amazing Spot!

My friends and I stayed at this amazing VRBO for our spring break trip! Everything about the check in/check out process was smooth and the owner was very flexible with our requests! The town was close by and the drive was beautiful! Everything within the Vrbo was well kept and we had everything we needed for the week. I would love to stay here again at some point!

Perfect Family Cabin in the Mountains

This updated, cozy 2 bedroom cabin was perfect for our family of 4. The view of the mountains was breathtaking and we enjoyed the hot tub almost every night! Games and toys were on hand to keep my kids entertained. The only thing my kids were really looking forward to was the "climbing gym" in the basement. They were disappointed that it wasn't there. However we were busy with other amenities around town.

Weekend getaway

We came up to get away for the weekend. It was a beautiful little cabin in the mountains. Very clean and well maintained. We were visited by a red fox and a bull moose, a cow and her baby twice! It was a great weekend.

Best cabin in the mountains!

Such a great cabin! Clean, has everything and the views are incredible! We had a blast sledding right out of the front door as well as skiing at Breckenridge only 20 minutes away!

Perfect ski getaway

This home in the mountains is the perfect escape. The interior modern decor is beautiful. The house has everything you need. The hot tub was perfect after a long day of skiing. The house is up in the mountains, so a 4 wheel drive vehicle (with chains for winter time) is necessary. This home is perfect for a couple or family. We hope to be back for another great stay!

Exceptional home in the heart of nature

My wife and our two teenage boys spent a week (July 1-8) and could not have asked for a better place to use as home base, relax and take in all that this area has to offer. The property description is accurate, nothing misleading. The communication leading up to and during our stay was clear and professional. Clean, outstanding views and spacious. Isolated yet close enough to the popular towns of Breckenridge/Frisco as well as the quiet towns of Alma and Fairplay. Reasonable drive down to Buena Vista/Salida for white water rafting. Listening to the adjacent Moose Creek rush down the mountain while sitting in the morning sun on the upper deck or soaking in the hot tub on the lower deck became a daily ritual. Abundance of hiking trails and nature drives nearby. Highly recommend.

Our retreat

My wife and I enjoyed our mountain retreat to this cabin. The journey getting there was intimidating as we arrived in a snowstorm, but with a good four wheel drive we were fine. They did a good job keeping the roads plowed as well as the driveway. Cabin had everything we needed, well equiped and cozy. Unfortunately, the fireplace was out of service due to storm damage. We are bid fireplace junkies so this was a real disappointment on those cold snowy nights. Overall, our experience was a positive one!

Great Cabin Bad locat

A great fairly new cabin with high end furnishings and appliances. Beautiful views. Unfortunately no dressers in bedrooms for clothes and no dining room table; just 3 chairs at kitchen island. The biggest problem is it’s in aver bad location on the south side of Hoosier Pass which as we discovered is prone to frequent traffic jams and closures in the winter. We on numerous times spent 1 - 2 hours just going a few miles over the pass due to the snow and traffic jams due to semi’s with no chains and 2 wheel vehicles stuck!. Then there is the local road with its steep incline and switchbacks that wasn’t plowed as well as the unplowed county road. We couldn’t get out of the top of the driveway and onto the road until a skid steer from the neighborhood’ came and plowed a path for us to get out. This wasn’t done until almost 10:00 AM and as a result missed ½ day of skiing. I had to purchase snow socks @ $150 for the AWD SUV which didn’t help the driving. I contacted the cabin rental office only to be told Sorry, but the listing states 4 wheel drive and chains may be required. Nice, but you can’t get a 4 wheel drive vehicle with snow tires and chains at the Denver Airport car rental. We also had to pack up our last night and drive to Buena Vista/Colorado Springs to Denver Airport out of fear of not being able to get out of the cabin and surrounding roads in the morning. I’ve been coming to Colorado to go skiing for over 55 years and have a lot of experience driving the mountain
