STR Permit # BCA-81524

The location is incredible! The best of both worlds; private and quite nestled in a beautiful lot among pine trees and aspen trees but very close to Main Street where all the shops, restaurants and bars are located. Enjoy morning breakfast on the wrap around deck and wake up to the sound of nature and enjoy the amazing view of the mountains. 

Enjoy a barbecue, drink some wine and enjoy the best starry skies you will ever see on the HUGE deck! The house has 3 formal bedrooms, bonus room with an office that has 2 additional twin beds, 2 living rooms with 2 1/2 baths.

Walk to town out of the backyard onto the trail that lead to a network of all the great trails. To town it takes 10 minutes via the trail in the summer and 15 minutes in the winter. Head up deeper into the mountains for a nice serene walk or the best mountain bike trails and course. In the winter, bring your snow shoes and enjoy the trails. The roads are well maintained and paved so the access is easy so you could drive to the ski gondola, walk to the corner to catch the free bus or Uber it for only $5.

Cougar Cabin is rustic on the outside but mountain chic on the inside with high-speed internet, fully stocked kitchen, HD TVs with cable in all bedrooms and both family rooms! Nice linens, pillows and beds for a nice restful vacation. We know that it is the little things that matter so we make sure to have fresh coffee beans, sugar, oats, flour and condiments to give you the basics to get your cooking started!

We do a thorough disinfecting clean after every stay which is an extra step we take to ensure the health of our guests. We have installed 3 HEPA Germ Guardian Air Filter Purifiers with UV-C sanitizer which eliminates germs from the environment.
We do allow dogs to stay since we consider them family too. Please look at our house rules for our doggie guidelines. There is a $200 fee per dog per stay. When you check traveling with pets on the vrbo guest portal, it will show up on the host fee along with a $325 cleaning fee. If you have a second doggie, we will collect the fee separately.

Each bedroom is thoughtfully appointed and maintained. The house boasts an rustic-chic interior with every detail tended to. The kitchen and living room is open and great for cooking big post-skiing family dinners. There is a separate family room downstairs perfect for extra space for the kids. Enjoy the Emmy winning Cougar pictures throughout the cabin commemorating my dad’s work.

Skiing is great as Breckenridge is one of the best with enough challenge and diversity to keep you on your toes. Keystone and Arapahoe Basin is 15-20 minutes away. Vail is 35-40 minutes. During the summer enjoy Lake Dillon. Rent a Kayak, paddle board or charter a romantic sail boat and explore all the little islands. Bike the beautiful paved bike paths from Breckenridge to Frisco and around the lake! We love this special place and can’t wait to share it with you!

The Elk Master Suite:
Our favorite room in the cabin is The Elk Master Suite. The room includes a King plush bed with plenty of space to spread out. Electric fireplace and a sitting area, HDTV with Xfinity Cable. The best part? The room has its own private balcony where you can enjoy your sunrise and coffee!

The Mama Bear Room:
This room is perfect two adults who are looking to have a snuggly room with firm mattress. The room is decorated in a bear theme and includes photos of my dad's work. HDTV Smart TV. The rear window has a fantastic view of the mountains!

Little Foxes:
Inspired by the foxes on the property! The kids (and adults) will absolutely enjoy the Little Foxes rooms! This room is equipped with a bunk bed with 2 twin beds. We have placed some toys and books to make kids more comfortable.

Up in the Clouds:
Bonus room/office that has 2 single beds and an office with incredible views, HDTV w/ Roku Stick. We have a yoga/workout area with free weights and yoga mats for relaxation! We love taking the yoga mats to the deck for a morning spiritual awakening session of yoga in the morning! Great for young adults.

Sauna:
Guests are welcomed to utilize the sauna during their stay. We have extra towels and all the tools needed (bucket & ladle) to have a steamy time.

Guests will have access to the entire cabin, backyard, front yard and sauna. We will try to accommodate early check-ins when we can at no extra cost to you.

The guests receive an email with a unique access code to the rear door underneath the deck. It is activated at check-in time and deactivated at checkout time.

Breckenridge is a Colorado town at the base of the Rocky Mountains’ Ten mile Range. It's known for its ski resort, year-round alpine activities and Gold Rush history. The Victorian core of this former mining town is preserved as the Breckenridge National Historic District, running primarily along Main Street, with colorfully painted buildings from the 1880s and '90s housing shops, galleries and restaurants. Please visit Summit County to understand the most up-to date Public Health Order.

The Lincoln Trail leads to the Town of Breckenridge. The trail is about a 10 minute hike down and a 10-15 minute hike back.

For those who do not have their own car, I recommend utilizing Lyft or Uber.

Cougar Cabin has three main levels. The main access point is via the ground floor. The main level is the second floor and master and 2nd bedroom on the third floor with the bonus room one level up. We have well water so you may hear the pump release air in the laundry room. During winter, the snow plows can get started a bit early on the street and cause some noise. We do not shovel the deck or front in the winter only the main entrance. We do not provide firewood for the deck firepit but local grocery stores carry firewood kits. Patio furniture is also put away during the winter. Our snowplow will plow the driveway when it snows.

Garbage days are Tuesdays so make sure to take out the garbage before then.  We have concierge service which means you do not have to rollout the cans, just make sure you are not parked immediately in front of them.

Cougar Cabin

My husband and I stayed at the Cougar Cabin along with our two Mini Aussies.It was very dog friendly. The cabin was one of the older places we have stayed in while visiting Breckenridge. It could definitely use some updating but overall was comfortable for our needs. The street it is located on is very busy. I would recommend ear plugs to use while sleeping. The plow trucks woke us up every morning. Communication with the owner was amazing. I left some facial products in the bathroom and they were kind enough to ship them to me.

Great stay, beautiful area.

Was in town for a conference. Home and property were very nice and well apportioned. The location is off the beaten path with direct access to very nice walking/biking trails. We were there in September and it was absolutely beautiful. Also got their first snow of the season. While you are there, Breckenridge Distillery is a must visit - best steak I have had in a long time. Whiskies weren't bad either.

We very much enjoyed our stay. The house was the most well stocked house we have ever stayed and had lots of space for the extended family. The trails behind the house were amazing especially for biking, walking to town, or taking the dog out. The host was very communicative when I had to reach out for a few things, she responded quickly and was a lot of help. Thanks for the hospitality!

Wonderful retreat in the woods!

Loved our stay with our adult daughter and both of our poodles! Lovely location, quiet neighborhood and cozy home with great views off the back deck. Loved the sauna, but we did have to dig our way out there with all the snow we had (not complaining, snow was WAY worth it on the slopes.) Thanks as well for a very well stocked kitchen and home, made everything super easy.

Perfect Spot in Breck

My husband and I were thrilled to find Vanessa's cabin available on short notice for a spontaneous getaway. It absolutely lived up to our expectations. The cabin is spacious, cutely decorated, and well-stacked. And, as a bonus, pet-friendly! Our pup enjoyed exploring the deck, yard, and nearby trails. The cabin is located in a quiet and secluded neighborhood, but it's only a couple minutes drive to downtown Breck. You can also take the trails and walk into town (it took me ~15 minutes). The internet was fast and reliable. Vanessa was friendly and easy to communicate with. Just an A+ stay all around! We can't wait to come back.

This is a lovely home in a lovely neighborhood. fantastic trail right outside the door. Very close to the town center, a 5 minute drive. We did go here during "mud" season so lots of things were closed but so so relaxing. Make sure your whole party is good with steps as the home is on 3 levels.

Moonstone Road Property

This property was perfect for my family. There's a trail that leads to town right behind the house that was like a mini hike. We had a dinner party one evening and the kitchen was so well stocked we didn't need to purchase or bring anything. The location is close enough to town and the slopes. You have your choice of skiing or shopping. Best of both worlds. Thanks for the wonderful use of your home, Vanessa and Shawn. We rate it 5 stars all the way and we hope to be back someday.

About the host

Hosted by Vanessa Davison

Host profile image
We bought our Breckenridge cabin in 2018 and . We have been enjoying many family trips and getting the cabins cozy and inviting for our guests. We live in Denver and this is more of a home than a rental so we provide all the cozy comforts of home with nice furnishings and bedding. We enjoy mountain biking, skiing/snowboarding, hiking and so we love the fact that you can embark on wonderful journeys right from our backyards! We love to host and know that it is the little things that matter. Many of our guests have become friends over the years! We do ask guests to treat our home with love and respect so that we continue to provide amazing experiences for others.

Why they chose this property

This property is unique because it has the hiking and mountain biking trails right from the backyard. These trails also lead to town and that is just a 15 minute walk through the amazing trails! The views are incredible and you get the experience of a cabin in the woods yet close to town and away from the traffic and noise. It is a large lot which allows our guests to have fun in the backyard. It also has a huge wrap around deck which is perfect for eating or sitting by the fire enjoying the mountain view. It is a quick ride to the gondola on peak 8.

What makes this property unique

Direct access to hiking and biking trails with direct access and short walk to Main Street where all the restaurants and bars are located. Some of our guests love the workout on the way back from dinner and others just take an uber back for $10. We have a wonderful barrel sauna which provides many healing properties which is more sanitary than hot tubs. We have doggies and love and care for our doggie guests. We have reasonable rules but also understand doggies are part of the family.
