I was unsure of the best area to stay in Breckenridge, but decided to stay at the Grand Lodge on Peak 7 when I found Rose's listing. Honestly, it couldn't have been better. There's a lift right outside of the Lodge, as well as a gondola that takes you to Peak 8 where there are several more lifts (it can also take you down into town). I don't ski but had the best time sitting on the porch watching people ski down. My husband and daughters would wake up and ski every morning, then we'd shop or relax in the afternoons. The unit had the most beautiful view, and I actually think it was the best location. We had privacy and quiet, but still could watch all the activity if we wanted to. Peak 8 has some of the most expensive accommodations, but there were always so many people in that area because of the multiple lifts. We definitely preferred our location.
Other than that, the shuttle was super convenient and easy to deal with, and the Lodge lobby area is a great area to sit and watch skiers coming down. We never ate at the restaurant, but instead went into town or fixed dinner in our room. Because we had the shuttle, we could easily go into town and have dinner and drinks, then get picked up whenever we were ready (I highly recommend the Moscow Mule from Après Handcrafted Libations!)
Rose was an awesome person to rent from and is so, so nice. She responded to my emails right away, gave me advice for our trip, and even sent an email while we were there to check on the weather/slopes and see how everything was going, which I really appreciated. Best person I've rented from by far.
Overall, great vacation whether you ski or not. There's a ton to do, even if you're a chicken like me!
