About this cabin rental
Ptarmigan Lodge is an adorable custom log cabin located in a secluded location atop the Valley of the Sun mountains. It is a perfect location for the vacationer looking for a private and wooded location with fabulous views of the white-capped mountains. It is close enough to enjoy shopping and dining in Fairplay, Alma, or Breckenridge, but far enough away to be away from the traffic and noise of the towns. There is a hiking trail and entrance to the National Forest just a few steps away from the driveway. You will enjoy seeing the numerous wildlife in the area too. There are moose, foxes, deer, elk, rabbits, and an occasional bear. Enjoy the spectacular mountain views from the deck. There is also a horseshoe pit for family fun too. The kids will love exploring the area around the cabin.
The home has 3 private bedrooms and two full baths. The bedroom downstairs has a queen bed and a bath with a shower/tub combo. It is at the entry level. On the main level there is a large kitchen, dining room, family room and two bedrooms and one bath. The bath has a walk-in shower. Upstairs there is a huge loft with a flat screen TV which has satellite programming. There is lots of comfy seating for the entire family. There is a desk or study area as well as a full size sofa bed.
The deck has amazing mountain views and views of the forest. You can relax in the big comfortable deck chairs. There is a gas grill provided as well. The parking is off of the road and has plenty of room for 3 or 4 cars and even a small camper or ATV trailer.
Fairplay is called the "Base Camp of the Rockies" because it is near almost every outdoor activity you can think of. There is horseback riding just 15 miles away at the Platte River Ranch. If you like white water rafting, you can go down to the Arkansas River which is only 40 miles away. There are hundreds of hiking trails and many of the famous 14ers are right behind the house like Mt. Sherman, Mt. Democrat, Mt, Bross, Mt. Lincoln, and Quandary. If you are a fisherman, this is the place to go. The Platte River offers Gold medal fishing and there are many lakes as well such as Montgomery Reservoir, Antero, Spinney, 11-Mile, and Jefferson Lake. You can go to a different location every day. In the winter, you will find skiing and boarding at Breckenridge, Keystone, and A-Basin. You can also drive to Copper Mountain and Vail from the home. There is sledding, tubing, ice skating, ice fishing and much more just minutes from the home.

We have done several vacation homes and this was the first I've been unhappy with. The upkeep and 3rd party management on this cabin is questionable. I asked for early check-in and although I understand it is never guaranteed, I was told that the property needed a once over inspection that would be done by 1:30pm. I called around noon and advised we would be arriving around 1:05pm and they said we were fine to check in. When we arrived, it was clear we had not been told the truth, becasue there were no signs of anyone being on the property for sometime. It had snowed a week or so before our arrival and there were no vehicle tracks of anykind and my husband had to shovel the deck. Although the place allows dogs and that was great, I believe for the price of the cleaning fee, the cabin could have been cleaned way better. There were cobwebs (old ones too) down in the unfinished basement room, which was outside the 3rd bedroom. So although we had intended on using that bedroom and bathroom for privacy, it was not used. There was a glass in one of the bedrooms upstairs that had obviously been sitting there awhile with hard crustation of some sort in it. Towels had been sitting there and smelled dingy. We rewashed every kitchen item we used prior to us using. There was food stuck on some things and oil/grease on some of the baking items. My husband found a vacuum that hadn't been emptied in sometime as well, but he used it to vacuum the floor and couches to remove some of the hair and dirt. I completely understand that things would not be totally fresh when no one has been there, however being told we couldn't check in because someone had to do a once over and finding what we did wasn't professional. The bright side is that Fairplay is very close, so if you need something you can easily find it in town. The full size bed upstairs was plush and comfortable, quiet neighborhood, good cell service and you definitely need 4 wheel drive. If we had been told the truth and the place had better upkeep and cleanliness, it would have made the stay better.
