Welcome to The Velvet Moose, a cozy and whimsical creekfront cabin just 4 miles from downtown Breckenridge. We are a fully licensed rental, Blue River License #: LR25-000059.
The Velvet Moose is a warm and inviting cabin located directly on Spruce Creek, offering a rare combination of natural privacy and convenient access to Breckenridge.

Inside the cabin, guests will find upgraded lighting throughout, new kitchen appliances (fridge, stove, microwave), refinished cabinetry, and redesigned dining and living areas. The living room includes a Roku smart TV and high-speed WiFi for streaming and remote work. The bathroom has been modernized with a new vanity, lighting, flooring, toilet, updated fixtures, and a new tub surround.
A new furnace, new A/C, and a complete electrical upgrade ensure comfort and reliability year-round. Premium beds and linens create a restful sleeping environment after long days on the mountain or trails.
The cabin sits beside Spruce Creek, providing a peaceful setting for morning coffee, reading, or relaxing while listening to the creek. Guests will find trail access throughout the area, offering hiking, snowshoeing, and wildlife viewing. Moose sightings are common in the area.

About the host
Your host
We are longtime Breckenridge fans having spent our honeymoon here over 30 years ago. Although we grew up in the Midwest, Colorado stole our hearts many years ago. Spending time in the mountains never gets old for us! We purchased this home and decided immediately that it had to be shared with friends and family... and The Velvet Moose was born. Why the Velvet Moose? The day we toured the property for the first time, we saw 9 moose on and around the property! Thier quirky graceful stature immediately captured the theme we wanted the house to evoke. Our hope is that you love it here as much as we do, and you return often with family and friends to build lifetime memories.
