Notes from the host
Alpine Haus
Alpine Haus gives you the privacy of being nestled in the woods while still enjoying great mountain views!
This beautiful mountain house is located in peaceful Placer Valley just North of Alma in Park County - only 25 miles from Breckenridge! Family friendly or ideal for a small group of close friends to share, this cozy 2 bedroom home with an open loft sleeping area and single bathroom has something to offer everyone in your party. The home is very secluded and on a heavily wooded property that offers beautiful views of the surrounding mountains. 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 2 miles from the home is one of the few areas where you may be able to see Moose in their natural habitat.
The unique architecture of this home offers a wonderful high alpine experience with a wood burning stove on a large stone hearth, open concept living room with comfortable seating and plentiful dining space accented with tasteful retro chic decor. The first floor bedroom has a full size mattress and the second floor bedroom has a Queen size mattress, cozy comforters and luxury linens ensuring that you wake well rested and refreshed - ready for any adventure that a day in the Rocky Mountains may afford. The open loft offers two comfortable twin beds, perfect for the kids in the family, the young at heart or just for an afternoon lounging with a bowl of popcorn and your favorite movie on the television - and there is even enough floor space to play one of the many games available, or build a blanket fort! Step into the full size kitchen with it's stainless steel appliances and plenty of counter space; fully stocked with all the cooking, baking and serving dishes you will need to whip up a delicious meal and share it with your favorite people. With the Bathtub/Shower combo, you can hop in for a quick refreshing shower after a warm summer day of hiking or you may choose to sink in for a long hot soak in the tub after a full day on the slopes. The washer and dryer is easily accessible in a laundry closet off of the first floor bedroom - so no need to waste precious vacation time hauling dirty items to the laundromat in town.
The large elevated deck is a gorgeous relaxation space. Available on the deck for your enjoyment is a large outdoor dining table and chairs with a gas grill for the full outdoor dining experience, comfortable patio furniture where you can drink in the mountain views along with your tasty morning brews and a gas fire pit around which you may enjoy an evening drink under the pines in the company of a thousand stars.
