Property was well kept and perfect for a group. The living space and dining table were large enough for all! Hot tub was also big. They were quick to answer all questions. Would highly recommend
John is a great host and we loved staying here! He provided us with so much detailed information not only for the home but also for our stay in Breckenridge. The home itself was cozy, clean, and well stocked. We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back!
John is a great host and communicator. Everything was just as described on VRBO site. My family and I were there for a week and enjoyed every minute. The weather provided several days of snow, and the driveway was plowed for easy access 2 or 3 times during our stay. We will definitely be coming back again- maybe this summer. I highly recommend Bear Crossing.
Beautiful property. Pictures do not do this place justice. Everything was perfect for our family with room to spare. Far enough from the downtown to be alone if you prefer more seclusion, yet very close to everything Brek has to offer. Hosts are wonderful and very communicative and quick to respond. Will stay again and again. This is the place to be!!
We loved staying at this property. The proximity to Breckenridge is great and not too far away. Quite property away from busy Breckenridge. John was a great host and communicated great with us during our stay. Kitchen had all the utensils we needed. The house is gorgeous.
This mountain house will not disappoint. The owners have thought of everything, it is extremely well equipped and clean. Plenty of room for 2 families of 5 to spread out. Kids loved the game room upstairs and all loved the hot tub after a long day of skiing. Would definitely rent this house again. John was a wonderful host, very responsive with any questions. Wonderful stay!
A beautiful place for our family to connect & enjoy the activities near by. Loved having a large table for entire family to eat together. Bedrooms did great for our each family to each have their own personal space.
The cabin was everything listed and more. Photos were an accurate representation but didn’t capture the beauty surrounding the house. We loved the great vaulted ceiling and the light from the windows. Beds were comfortable and kitchen had everything we needed. There was a nice supply of paper towels, toilet tissue, tissues, and shower toiletries.
Everyone in our family-kids to parents to grandparents voted we must come back to this cabin. We were in the large hot tub every day taking in the views of the national forest the cabin backed up to. We cooked s’mores over the gas fire pit and utilized the gas grill for dinners. There were spacious areas in front and beside the house for outdoor games or just hanging your own hammock. Our drive to Breck Main Street was only 6 minutes and to a great hiking trail about 8 minutes. During our 7 day stay we did not see any neighbors.
The host gave very detailed information as to how to best utilize the cabin. We highly recommend this cabin.
The home was very clean and well-stocked. Our kids loved the air hockey and foosball table. The hot tub provided much-needed relief after some long days of skiing. The area surrounding the cabin was quiet and secluded, backing up to the forest. We even had a moose come right up to the back door and kitchen window. The cabin is less than a 10 minute drive from all the restaurants, breweries, and shops in Breckenridge. Would recommend this property to anyone! We will definitely stay here when we come to Breckenridge again.
This was the perfect vacation home for our party of 9! Ample room, beautiful home, well stocked kitchen, hot tub, game room and close to town and the mountain! I can’t say enough good things about this rental. I would definitely stay here again next time I visit Breckinridge. Thank you John for sharing your beautiful home!
We had an enjoyable time at Sunny Slope in February with our family of 10. It was easy to communicate with John (landlord) and there is a book with detailed information regarding everything from setting out the garbage to setting the thermostats. The accommodations were great for relaxation and family dinners after skiing all day. The driveway was plowed well, after two significant snow falls.
This place was everything we could have asked for and more. Rented a car at Denver airport about a 2 hour drive to the cabin. Massive high ceiling cabin with ample amount of room for hanging out and enjoying it. Skied for 2 days in breckenridge (8 min drive from cabin) and 1 day in vail (1 hr min drive). Game room and hot tub kept everyone entertained and having fun. Check in and check out process incredibly easy. All kitchen supplies and seasoning ingredients already available for your use which was a huge help as well.
Our entire family was able to spend a week in this lovely winter get away. Sledding right out the back. More than enough room for all. Spectacular. Thank you so much John
Had a great stay at this lovely property, John the host made sure we had all the information we needed and answered all our questions in a very timely manner helping us out with information about Breckinridge, would highly recommend this property for a family get away.
Perfect property just outside Breck! We had two adults and two 11 year-old boys and this property had everything to keep us entertained and relaxed following adventures in Breck and surrounding area. We had *multiple* air hockey and foosball tournaments and relaxed every evening following hikes either on the back deck with the fire pit or in the hot tub. While every room does have a television, we never turned them on, such were the other amenities this property has to offer, including numerous board games that were in the stand alone "game room". The property is very clean and welcoming (even to the local deer and moose - those were outside, to be clear). Check-in and check-out procedures are very clearly listed and easy to follow. I would highly recommend this property to others traveling to the area.
Communication from the property owner was rapid and effective. We had a minor issue with the aforementioned hot tub that was resolved within a half hour.
Overall, a great property and a major reason why our family vacation went so well. Thank you Bear Crossing!
Really enjoyed this house, not too far outside breck. Really surprised at how well stocked the pantry and kitchen was. Kids loved the air hockey table and football table in the upper area. 100% recommend
This house exceeded our expectations! The location was just perfect. We were so close to town yet felt so secluded in woods. The amount of snow was awesome for a mid March vacation and the sleds in the garage were perfect for the wonderful hill outback. Our group ranged from 5-74 and everyone was so happy with this home. We will most definitely return to this gem! Thanks for a wonderful time.
Property was perfect for our family ski vacation. We found the house to be every thing it was described to be. Plenty of room for our family to spread out but great open space to hang out together. John was a great host and provided us with great information prior to our arrival and was available for us throughout our stay for the few questions we had. Great property and recommend it to others.
The cabin at blue river was perfect for our group of 8 friends hitting the slopes. The space is clean and spacious and had everything we could ever need! The Hot tub was a great addition and we even went sledding in the back yard. The house is off enough from the road that it feels secluded but is only a short drive to Breckenridge proper. Highly recommend!
Any trip to Breckinridge is bound to be amazing, but this house added lots to our experience. Great location, great layout and the owner thinks about all of the little things that make a ski trip easy. Great communication. Very thoughtful. We would stay here again!

Why they chose this property
We had been coming to Breckenridge as a family to ski for many years and decided it was time to buy. We chose this location for the proximity to downtown Breckenridge (5-minute drive), yet far enough from town to enjoy the peace and quiet of this beautiful setting. We are on Highway 9 (Main road through town) but far enough back to avoid road noise . We are minutes from the ski lifts, great hiking, snow shoeing, cross country skiing and biking. Breckenridge is one of the most scenic mountain areas in the US with unlimited outdoor activities: snow skiing, snowboarding, tubing, hiking, mountain biking, fishing, whitewater rafting, snowmobiling, 4-wheeling, ice skating and more.
What makes this property unique
In addition to the "great room" with gas fireplace and large screen TV, there is a loft with air hockey, foosball and a large game table. The "TV room" provide another space for privacy. There is a TV in every bedroom and of course free high-speed internet and WiFi. Outside there is a large deck with hot tub, gas fire pit, and log chairs. Finally, you enjoy the ability to pull into the heated garage to unload on arrival or after a long day of activity.
