The Irish Rose has become a vacation favorite for guests from all over the world! Just take a look at our guestbook comments below! This mountain cabin is located on the historic Mosquito Gulch Trail. Just 15 miles south of Breckenridge, it is the perfect spot for either a secluded get-away or a ski vacation at a fraction of the cost.

Centered on ten acres of pine and aspen, the Irish Rose was designed to accommodate those who want a true Colorado experience. With Mosquito Creek flowing nearby, you will enjoy spectacular views of Pennsylvania and London Mountains as you relax with family and friends. A seven person hot tub sits out front in the location of an old historic mine if you want to relax and enjoy the view from there!

If summer hiking, biking or four-wheeling is your desire, four of Colorado's 14,000 foot peaks are at your doorstep, providing some of the best hiking and driving trails in the world. Tackle the summits of Mount Bross, Mount Democrat, Mount Cameron, and Mount Lincoln... all in a single day!

Gold pan on the local creeks, explore 'Buckskin Joe' trail, and visit the ghost town of Park City. The historic mining towns of Alma and Fairplay are also nearby. Mountain bike to your heart's content or drive the legendary 4x4 'Mosquito Pass' into Leadville. Pick wildlowers and view wildlife--there's something for everyone!

If winter activities are your goal, the beautiful village of Breckenridge is just a short drive north where you can enjoy premier Colorado skiing, dining, and shopping. Keystone, Arapahoe Basin, and Copper Mountain are also close. Or, stay near home and cross-country ski to your heart's content. We have it all!

The Irish Rose was built with families in mind. The main level has a great room with a gas fireplace and floor-to-ceiling windows showcasing the beautiful mountains and trees. It is surrounded by a huge 32x8 foot wrap-around deck. A full kitchen and dining area are also on this level to create an open, spacious environment. Pets are NOT allowed, No Smoking.

There are two main level bedrooms, one with a queen bed, and one with double bed and trundle geared for up to three kids. The great room sofa also pulls out to a queen-size bed. The master bedroom loft has a queen bed, washer and dryer, along with a small private balcony. There are full baths on both the main level and the loft.

The cabin also has a lower level with a private entrance in the back which is only used occasionally by the owners during periods of maintenance and upkeep. It is never rented and will almost always be unoccupied during your stay.

Experience the Rocky Mountains in the comfort of the 'Irish Rose'. At over 10,000ft elevation, it's as close to heaven as you can get!

Just what we expected!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5star review. We stayed 6 nights. All pics and descriptions are accurate. The cabin was warm and cozy. The hot tub was great to use after a day of skiing. The home had everything we needed while there. The home owner was excellent to communicate with, answering any questions we had. Was fun to see moose and the scenery was beautiful. A very nice, secluded place to stay!

Quiet Mountain Weekend

The Irish Rose was a great weekend getaway for our family. The home was cozy, well organized, and the property was beautiful. We enjoyed some board games, watching movies, playing in the snow, and soaking in the hot tub in negative temperatures! The owners were great with communication leading up to our stay, making it easy to find the property and simple to gain access once we arrived. Thank you for letting us enjoy your home.

About the host

Hosted by Rich Sweeten

Just a military family that has long ties to Colorado and loves the mountains! We are very blessed to have a property we can share with others.

Why they chose this property

Pure Colorado. The property feels secluded but still close to civilization!

What makes this property unique

The Irish Rose has 10 acres of total seclusion with pine, aspen, a river, and amazing views. Many houses on the internet may look similar, but very few properties give you the total Colorado experience. It also comes with a "whole house" generator so you do not need to worry about the risk of power outages that can occur at other secluded mountain vacation homes! Look at our guestbook and see that it will be a unique and memorable experience!
