About this property

Exclusive 23-Acre Rocky Mtn. Retreat - Featured in a Music Video! Unforgettable

Discover an unforgettable Rocky Mountain retreat just south of Breckenridge, where Enrique Iglesias & JonZ chose to film their music video, capturing the beauty of this one-of-a-kind property. Our cabin is more than a place to stay—it's a destination for those seeking serenity, adventure, and awe-inspiring views at 11,000 feet.

Nestled on 23 private acres bordered by the pristine Pike National Forest, this true log cabin offers ultimate seclusion at the end of a tree-lined drive. Feel like you’re worlds away with fishing creek access, a serene pond, creeks and spectacular peak views in every direction—all with convenient access from a county road.
With ample space and breathtaking views, it's the perfect spot for family bonding or a romantic couple's getaway. Check out our reviews. :)

Our property is a paradise for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts, all with a cozy cabin to come home to after a day of exploration.

Wildlife Encounters: Spot moose, elk, fox, bear, mountain sheep, and even beavers from your deck.

Hiking & Fishing: Endless trails, on-site fishing, gold-panning and snowshoeing adventures await.

Adjacent Pike National Forest offers treed hillsides, scenic trails, moose habitats, and even a seasonal waterfall. You can even hike all the way to Mt. Sherman if you like.

Designed for comfort and charm, the cabin includes:
3 Bedrooms + Loft & 2 Bathrooms for family or group flexibility and a fully stocked kitchen.
Large Covered Deck: Wraps around three sides, providing panoramic mountain views and the peaceful sound of flowing water.
Private Gated Entry: The long driveway and gated entrance enhance your sense of seclusion and peace. Truly feels like you've got your own Rocky Mountain paradise.

Firewood for the wood stove is included along with propane for the gas grill and plenty of outdoor seating.

Perfectly Situated for Mountain Day Trips!
From the cabin, enjoy easy access to nearby attractions:
Breckenridge (35 mins): World-class skiing, snowboarding, and golfing.
Buena Vista (40 mins): Thrilling whitewater rafting on the Arkansas River, horse back riding or Hot Spring soaking.
Fairplay (Close by): Historic South Park, renowned trout fishing, ATV rentals and local amenities.

Altitude Notice: With the cabin’s high-altitude location (11K feet), guests should acclimate upon arrival. We recommend drinking plenty of water, limiting alcohol and caffeine, and taking it easy for the first day or two to ensure a comfortable stay. The whole area is high altitude with Breckenridge at 10K. If anyone in your group has been or may be affected by altitude, we recommend staying at a lower elevation.

Embrace the rare opportunity to stay in a setting so remarkable it was chosen for a music video. Mountain Creek Lodge is where cherished memories are made—surrounded by nature’s grandeur and the true spirit of the Rocky Mountains.

This home exceeds expectations. The setting is incredible in both beauty and solitude. We saw over 40 different types of wildflowers when we hiked up the ridge and we enjoyed amazing views of the surrounding peaks. The house is well appointed and supplies. It a great getaway.

Amazing!

I won’t go into great detail, as the endless reviews speak for themselves. I’ll only say that our stay was like visiting a relative. I’ve never stayed in a vacation rental, that was better stocked. Absolutely ANYTHING you might need, seemed to be available, if necessary…. From extra backpacks to bear spray. The only thing I’d suggest is that if you plan to cook in and happen to drive, as we did, I’d bring as much as you could. There are a couple of small grocery stores in town, but the variety is lacking. The larger stores were in Breckenridge and Frisco. Aside from that, the property was great. And though we weren’t lucky to see much wildlife, our 2 doodles loved the long walks, and exploring. Many thanks to Charlie and Monica! They are blessed to have such an amazing slice of heaven.

Words can’t describe how beautiful the land this cabin sits on. It was the perfect stay to get away from it all, the cabin was cozy with a well stocked kitchen and nice grill. As Colorado native’s this was our first time seeing a bear, weasel, several sightings of moose and deer and at night we could hear fox barking. We would not second guess stay there again!!

Beautiful Cabin

This is such a beautiful cabin set back in the mountain valley. Looking at the scenery and listening to the creek was just the tranquility we needed. We saw 6 moose! 2 from the cabin porch and 4 others on the road to/from the cabin, also had mule deer at the cabin multiple times. Beds were super comfortable, and we felt right at home, even enjoyed a few fires in the woodstove. The high altitude at the cabin is really felt and physically hindering since we had a cold while visiting. Our dog did great and loved playing in the creek. Thank you so much for allowing pets!

What an awesome 4 day weekend we had. The seclusion was perfect, quiet end of road location. Views are spectacular, full on log cabin with huge deck. Woke up to dusting of snow on Saturday, perfect for start of fall. After that, great Colorado weather. Several side trips to spots in the area, caught native cutthroat trout at Kite Lake, highly recommend that drive and hike. Monica and Charlie are more than accommodating, cabin ultra comfortable, nice to have wi-fi, flat screen and DirectTV too. Wood burning fireplace came in handy and then star gazing... wow! Thanks Again for sharing your cabin! Allan, Joe, Paul, Tyler, Derek and Donovan!

The photos don't do this place justice. Just an absolutely magical backdrop and property. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and have already recommended to countless friends asking where all of our amazing photos are taken. There were a couple of things that could have sent this place even further over the edge, like a hot tub, but as long as that’s not a deal breaker give this place a shot!!

Perfect mountain getaway

The property is exactly as described, absolutely beautiful and peaceful! The fishing on the property was excellent, and we really enjoyed spending time outdoors. We chose Colorado as part of our goal to visit all the MLB stadiums, and the drive from Denver to the cabin was easy and incredibly scenic. The cabin itself was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. We had a wonderful stay and highly recommend this property.

An unforgettable stay!

This place was absolutely amazing—so much wildlife! One evening, a red fox came right up near the cabin, and we even spotted a moose during our stay. I wish I could post videos because I have so many, including one of me sitting on the porch when a hummingbird came right up and poked its little beak through the holes in my Crocs—too funny and so magical!We loved exploring the property and starting our mornings with coffee on the green chairs, soaking in the peace and quiet. The cabin itself was super comfy and cozy—just what we needed.We had such a great time that we even started researching properties in the area! That’s how much we loved it. We’ll definitely be back!

Everything we hoped for and more

Absolutely magical weekend getaway! This mountain cabin in Colorado was everything we hoped for and more. Nestled in a truly remote and peaceful location, it offered the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The views were absolutely breathtaking— a mountain stream, snow-capped peaks, and stunning views of the valley, right from the porch. One of the biggest highlights was the incredible wildlife—we were lucky enough to spot moose on several occasions.The cabin itself was cozy, clean, and beautifully maintained. Every detail felt thoughtful and intentional, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The hosts were exceptional—responsive, kind, and genuinely committed to making our stay memorable.If you're looking for a peaceful, scenic retreat with a true Colorado wilderness experience, this place is an absolute gem. We can’t wait to come back!

We spent a wonderful stay at Monica’s Cabin. She always was very nice and attended all the answers we had and gave us advice about the zone. The cabin is nested in a remote but amazing landscape yet close to the beautiful town Fairplay. The wilderness surrounds the place and it’s a joy to feel the spring breeze sitting at the porch.Thank you very much to Monica for sharing that little piece of paradise.

About the host

Hosted by Monica Moody

Host profile image
While visiting family in the Breckenridge, CO area for summer and winter vacations, we fell in love with the area and decided it would be a wonderful place to own a second home. When we found this cabin, we knew it was meant to be. We were so mesmerized by the property and cabin, that we lost track of time and missed our plane home. We love how you feel when you're at the cabin. You're away from all the stresses of daily life without being isolated. The surrounding mountains and creeks and pond make it special. It's a place for us to reconnect with family and nature. And it doesn't hurt that there are so many fun things to do nearby!

Why they chose this property

What makes this property unique

Some of our favorite activities include packing a lunch and hiking right out the door and up Mt. Sherman. It is known as one of the easiest fourteeners and the views are amazing. There are various picnic tables and chairs and on a clear night, you can see the Milkyway. Horseback riding, ATV rentals, and white water rafting are all close by. Fishing and gold panning in the creeks and pond are a favorite with the men and kids. And there's a grocery store 10 minutes away with everything you'll need for the pantry and cooking on the grill. Our favorite places to eat in Fairplay are the Brown Burro Cafe (Delicious Mexican), cheese steaks at the Dinky Dairy and everything at Millonzi's. And let us not forget Breckenridge - 23 miles from the cabin door - has everything a resort town can offer. Skiing, golfing, biking, ice skating, shopping, restaurants, tours and events.... We love it all and think you will too!
