Alma Mountain Retreat
Tucked into the pines on the side of a mountain in Alma, Colorado—the highest incorporated town in North America—this charming three-bedroom, three-bath retreat offers a one-of-a-kind stay that balances high-alpine adventure with restorative solitude. Just 24 minutes from the bustle of Breckenridge and close to Fairplay and Summit County, the cabin is ideally located for those who want easy access to ski resorts, restaurants, and outdoor recreation while still enjoying the peaceful rhythm of the Rockies.
Perfect for outdoor enthusiasts and families alike, the property offers immediate access to breathtaking trails, serene alpine lakes, and stunning drives like Hoosier Pass. Lake Trailhead, fish or picnic at Montgomery Reservoir, or set out on snowshoe and cross-country skiing adventures in the winter. After a day of exploring, return to relax in the private hot tub while stargazing under the Colorado sky—an experience guests rave about again and again.
Inside, the cabin exudes warmth and rustic charm with its rich wood finishes, soaring vaulted ceilings, and floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the space with natural light and frame sweeping views of alpine forest. The open-concept living area centers around a striking stone fireplace—perfect for cozy evenings after outdoor adventures, while the adjacent dining space welcomes shared meals and laughter. Just steps away, the fully stocked kitchen offers stainless steel appliances, ample counter space for prep, and an array of cookware and utensils that make it effortless to craft everything from casual mountain breakfasts to gourmet après-ski meals. Guests love dining alfresco on the deck in warmer months or gathering inside for board games, foosball tournaments, and family movie nights.
Thoughtfully appointed for groups of all ages, the home offers all the comforts of everyday living: a washer and dryer, multiple entertainment options, and well-furnished bedrooms with plenty of space to spread out. This home feels like a home away from home, with breathtaking views, “a super cute and cozy vibe,” and “the perfect base for an outdoor vacation.”
Whether you’re carving fresh powder at Breckenridge, catching local live music at Alma’s summer Festival in the Clouds, or simply soaking in the silence and the stars, this cabin is the kind of stay that keeps guests coming back again and again.
