Cozy place in the trees
We loved our stay at Pine Top. The location was cozy and peaceful. Although the location isn't walkable to town, I think it's worth the trade off for the serenity and the drive into town is short. The house itself was large and had all the amenities we needed for our stay. The main level has the kitchen, dining room, living room, one bedroom, one bathroom (shower), and a fireplace and deck. The lower level has three bedrooms, one with its own bathroom (shower) and the other two bedrooms share a bathroom (tub/shower combo). The bed we slept in was very comfortable. There is also a huge deck on the lower level. We stayed here during the winter so we didn't get a lot of deck time (we did use the grill and do some stargazing), but I imagine these decks are incredible during the summer in the shade of the trees. We enjoyed the nice sunlight coming in the large windows in the living room. The hosts were very responsive to all of our questions. We really liked the huge wood burning fireplace and there was plenty of firewood available on the deck.

Into the Woods
This expansive and immaculate gem is cocooned in a lodge-pole pine forest just minutes away from Main Street Breckenridge and Breckenridge ski area. Our family of five had plenty of room to relax and read, cook and play board games between our days of skiing. The kitchen was well equipped and made our daughter's boyfriend (a chef by profession) very happy! The views from not one but two decks made this a luxury property you don't want to miss! Communication with the owners was friendly, responsive and we couldn't have had an easier check in/check out process. Thank you Bodeen Family for sharing your lovely home!

Perfect
I couldn’t ask for a more perfect VRBO. Check in/out process was easy. Location is great and the neighborhood was really quiet. The home hosted me and my friends comfortably. If you’re looking for a place close to town that’s quiet and quaint, then this is your place.

Loved our white stay at this property!
Cabin has all and more you need for a pleasant stay and communication with host is excellent! They are always available if needed without invading your privacy. The property is in a perfect location, like just in the middle of the woods but also safely close to town. We hope we can stay with them again soon. We recommend this property 100% Thank you!
