This hidden mountain getaway has a spacious deck that invites you out of the vaulted great room and into the magnificent mountain air. The overlooks of the lodgepole pine forest and distant snow-capped peaks are spectacular. Be sure to get your selfie with Mt. Sherman in the background!

Off the beaten path, you'll enjoy this warm and spacious cabin with large windows and stunning views to wake each morning to. The Bristlecone features an open floor plan with a cozy wood stove, and a large family-sized dining table. Make yourself a warm cup of hot chocolate or grill out some delicious burgers with our full stocked kitchen and grilling supplies. There's even a buffet full of some of your soon-to-be favorite card games, board games, brain teasers, and puzzles so that everyone can gather together for your mountain memory-making, family fun.

There are two bedrooms on the main level with a full bath. The Queen-sized bed, Guest Room even offers a extra-oversized closet that can double as a quiet napping area for little ones, complete with a pack n' play. The other main level sleeping space is our Bunk Room, containing two twin-over-full bunks. Upstairs is a King-size bed, Master Bedroom Suite, full bath, and a cozy loft with bean bags, more games, and mountain views. Don't tell anyone, but some of our favorite views of Mt Sherman are often from that loft window!

The basement is laid out for easy entry directly from the garage, where you can pull-in, drop your skiing, hiking, biking, or other adventure gear right at the door and then get comfortable with more living space and another full bathroom. This lower level family area is set up with a pool table and an 80" curved Smart TV for hours of entertainment, complete with DVDs, Blu-rays, and connected to Disney+ and Amazon Prime. This level also features a laundry/utility room with full-size high-efficiency washer and dryer to keep the adventures rolling, even after the dust and dirt show up.

The Bristlecone is located in the majestic mountain community of Valley of the Sun, 10 minutes north of Fairplay, 24 miles south of great skiing and activities in Breckenridge, or 45 miles from world famous white water rafting, hot springs, and adventures in Buena Vista.

We are nestled away at 11,200 feet, up a wonderful winding road that passes through portions of Pike National forest. During the snow season (Oct - April), we strongly recommend snow chains, 4-Wheel Drive vehicles, and/or snow tires in case there's snowfall while you're there.
