Dog-friendly, tranquil retreat nestled in the forest with Monte Cristo Creek views off the back decks! This peaceful creekside getaway has comfortable mountain furnishings. This cabin was built in 2013 by its owners and children with a deep love of nature.



The Meditation Area:

The Angel guarding the Monte Cristo Creek & property has deep significance to the owners and is in loving memory of their loved one. Many guests enjoy this meditation/reflection area.



The owners are thrilled to welcome you to their home and happy to share Riffel's River Retreat, hoping it brings joy and peace to you and yours. Pay attention to the original artwork and sewing crafts personally created by the owner for you to enjoy - including the fabulous end tables in the main living room.



The artwork, linens, drapes, and woodwork add elegance to this handcrafted Colorado Rockies Home. Spend quiet evenings relaxing by the fire or cozying up with the family for a movie night. Meander outside (with your 4-legged pal, perhaps) and cross your private forest bridge to stroll along Monte Cristo Creek.

This secluded home offers 1.5 acres of room to roam. Enjoy the fresh mountain air. This beautifully designed mountain retreat is ready-made for your next family vacation or group getaway!

Creekside pet friendly home

We enjoyed our stay very much. The home was well kept, clean, plenty of kitchen supplies for cooking. Beds were comfortable. Only a 15 min ride into downtown Breck made this a nice retreat from the crowds. We would come back.

Quaint Breckenridge Spot

This house was amazing. So many beautiful rooms and views. We even saw a Moose while staying there. My only caution is that the place is greater than 10,000 feet and some of my family members couldn’t handle that altitude. Other than that, it is the perfect place for a family getaway.

Relaxing Stay

Easy check in and check out, detailed communication, large rooms, lovely views, reasonably comfy beds, clean property, and stunning grounds. We would definitely stay again. We stayed end of August and enjoyed time outside exploring, found so many varieties of mushrooms, hung a hammock between two trees, read in the wildflowers, and made burgers on the grill. We’ve stayed at four different properties in Breckenridge and this one is our favorite. Highly recommend.
