Adorable Mountain A-Frame Tucked in the Pines - Moose Creek Lodge

Moose Creek Chalet is a custom cabin built w/ talent and a lot of love! It is absolutely adorable. The cabin is decorated in luxurious mountain decor and finished with beautiful custom wood work. From the moment you drive up to the cabin you will see how much care and thought went into this home. It is surrounded by beautiful Pine and Aspen trees and has stunning views of the white-capped `mountains. When you walk in, you enter the open living room, dining room, and kitchen. The ceilings are high and lofted and the luxurious decor will take your breath away. The living area has comfortable leather seating and a large flat screen TV with satellite programming. There is even a cute electric fire place to add to the ambiance. The spacious kitchen is open to the living area and the dining room. It has modern stainless appliances and gorgeous granite counter tops. It has everything you will need for your stay including all dishes, pots and pans, and silverware. There is a large dining room that seats 6-8. There is additional island seating at the kitchen counter top. You will love everything about Moose Creek.

There is a full size private bedroom with a queen size bed. It has beautiful wood furniture including a dresser you can use for your stay. All linens are provided in the home. They are new luxurious linens. We use a 3 sheet system with a fitted and 2 flat sheets. You will really sleep comfortably in the cool mountain atmosphere. Upstairs there is a large loft with two queen size futon beds. The room has a flat screen TV and a large game table where you can work your favorite crossword puzzle or play a board game. The furnishings are comfortable and very tastefully decorated in mountain decor. There are sliding doors that open to a large upper deck. The views from up there are magnificent. You can see white-capped mountains and the beautiful surrounding forest. There is another bathroom off of the loft. This is a full bath with a walk in shower that has custom tile work. It is comfortable and inviting. There is a second private bedroom upstairs with a queen size bed and a private en suite bath. It too is comfortable and beautifully decorated. There is a third bedroom downstairs that is small but very cute. The kids will love this "secret" room. It has two twin beds. The second bed is a pull-out under the other.

Outside there is a back deck that has patio furniture and a gas grill. You will enjoy sitting outside and watching the wildlife in the area. There are deer, moose, fox, and an occasional bear. If you are into bird watching, you will love the mountains. There are many different species of birds, including the native blue bird which is the small cute one like in the Disney movie Snow White. The home is right around the corner from a National Forest entrance and Thompson Park. You can take nightly hikes on one of the many trails in this area. If you like ATVing, you will love this area! You can go right into the Breakneck and Browns Pass areas where there are lots of fun and some challenging trails. They are also amazing trails to hike or snow shoe in the winter. Horseback riding is just minutes from the home. The Platte River Ranch is an amazing place for family, friends and kids to ride or enjoy a hay ride or steak dinner ride. If you are an avid fisherman, the Platte River offers Gold Medal fishing. There are also several lakes nearby that are known for great fishing. They include Antero Reservoir, Spinney Reservoir, and Eleven Mile Lake. Montgomery Reservoir is also a beautiful place to fish and hike. There are many jeep trails and ghost towns and mining towns to explore in the area. Fairplay has the famous restored 1800's mining town of South Park. You will want to be sure to visit this town before you leave. Rafting is also nearby in Buena Vista on the Arkansas River.

Wonderful peaceful retreat

The house is a really smart layout that really maximize the space. It feels much bigger than it is. We had a family of 7, but never felt cramped. There was space to get away, and the cabin is tucked back into woods with lots of fun nooks for the kids to explore.

Wonderful place - Highly Recommend

Did a lot of research before selecting this place and I'm glad I did. Great location, wonderful views, and extremely peaceful. Very spacious home, great layout and very comfortable bed and couch. Has everything you need in the home, a perfect place for a weekend getaway or week long vacation. Only 45 minutes from beautiful Breckenridge, and close to many mountains if you want to do any hiking or climbing. Would love to come back.

Fantastic cabin living at 10,000ft !

This is our second year staying at Moose Creek Chalet...two weeks each year. Great altitude with cool mornings and abundance of critter life! All you will need is included in the spacious A-Frame cabin, for a wonderful mountain experience! Easy access to the main road and to the local town of Fairplay, Colorado. We will definitely return to this place again, when in the area!

Great place to stay

Beautiful property. Very roomy. There is a full kitchen with a toaster & blender. Love that it has a washer & dryer. The whole place is comfortable. We loved that there were blankets on the the comfy couch. Everything worked well including the barbecue. The tv had a DVD player in it. The only problem I had, since I am 5' 2" was the master bed was very tall. We just went and bought a step stool, which we took for home. The bed was extremely comfortable. The place is well insulated so it did not get too hot.

Secluded and peaceful

We totally enjoyed our 3 nights here. We were comfortable and enjoyed the seclusion and the beautiful surroundings. This place is one of the nicest we have ever stayed in. The kitchen was so well equipped. The owners seemed to think of everything a guest could possibly need. It would have been nice if a box of Kleenex was provided, but we managed without it. I would also suggest that the shower curtain rod in the downstairs bathroom be raised up, or else shorten the shower curtain, because it dragged into the tub about 8 inches. The mattress on the bed in the upstairs bedroom may need to be replaced, because if two people sleep on the bed you would tend to roll towards the center. But overall, the place is great and we would recommend it, and may even go back sometime.

Summer vacation

Nice spacious cabin in the woods, with several amenities. In reality this cabin is much larger than VRBO photos depict. Also included was use of a private pond stocked with trout which my kids enjoyed. My boys caught more trout in this pond than all 3 gold medal trout streams/rivers we visited (Tasmanian devil 7gram lures worked best). Outdoor amenities include firepit, grill, front&back porches and upstairs large balcony porch. This cabin is also well stocked. Local management are quick to respond to any questions or requests. Fairplay is a good central location if you plan to visit several places near to (Buena Vista-whitewater rafting/ziplining/trail riding, Arkansas River, Royal Gorge, Pikes Peak, Breckenridge, Dillon Lake, Platt River, Cripple Creek, 11-mile Canyon/Reservoir and several other parks/trails mentioned in the owners description).

Home away from home

The cabin is beautiful, professionally decorated and nicely stocked. Since we were unsure exactly what would be included, we packed most of the items we needed/used (paper plates/cups, plastic ware, etc.). Thanks to the location of the cabin, we fished at Montgomery and Jefferson and Tarryall is nearby. The cabin also offers fishing at a private pond nearby. The cabin has everything you would want for "glamping" (e.g. appliances - including a washer/dryer, gas grill, nice bathrooms with lots of towels, tvs, and comfortable seating both downstairs and upstairs). The ONLY thing I would suggest to future renters is to take is a stool (for children or shorter adults) since the cabin has raised toilets and deep sinks making it difficult to reach for some. Also the washer can only use HD detergent. I would highly recommend this rental and it is even more economical if you have a larger group.
