About this property
Mtn Getaway with VIEWS, PRIVATE HOT TUB & POSH Decor!
ALL-Wheel or 4-Wheel drive Vehicle REQUIRED in winter months.
Wake up to beautiful mountain views and the sound of a stream outside your window or beautiful drifts of untouched snow. After a day of skiing or hiking, enjoy our fabulous Jacuzzi hot tub or fire up one of several fire options while watching the sunset. Activities are numerous in both summer and winter and include world class skiing/snow boarding, cross country skiing, mountain biking, rafting and hiking right outside the door or just minutes down the road.
Our cottage is equipped with everything you might need to prepare a quick snack or a gourmet meal. Nice glassware, dishes, linen, cooking tools and serving pieces allow you to enjoy this get-away as much as you would your own home. There is also a Weber charcoal grill and a gas grill on the expansive deck that wraps the back of the house. With 2 fireplaces and a pleasing decor, get ready to relax and smile a lot. It is truly a special place.
Experience our wonderful mountain cottage. We know you will enjoy it as much as we do...

The property was exactly as expected, a perfect little mountain getaway. The hosts were super welcoming and gracious. Highly recommend La Barranca. It’s in a quiet neighborhood, but still private enough to feel secluded. Not far from Breck in case you want to venture into town. Great stay, worth a visit!
We enjoyed every bit of our stay, and this was the perfect home base. It was easy to get into town for dinner, but also easy to escape for adventures.
The neighborhood as a whole was quiet and relaxing. A great escape from ‘normal’ life.
We really enjoyed our stay. Cabin had everything we needed. Hot tub was great after hikes. We saw moose at the property which was a special treat. We highly recommend the property as it is close to hikes and 15 min to town.
Great little place! We stayed in March and went snowboarding, it was absolutely beautiful. Tons of snow! The driveway is a little steep so make sure you have a vehicle that can handle ice/snow!
A very nice home, maintained with care by the owners. We enjoyed the view as well as the nearby mountain stream. Dawn was readily available when we had a minor problem,
which was quickly resolved.
Quiet neighborhood and beautiful view. Seemed to be so remote but actually very close and convenient to Breck and all that goes on there. We back country skied and snowshoed in the valley. This is the perfect location to get to Quandary Park and Hoosier Pass.
It was very cozy little house and in a beautiful mountain neighborhood setting. Home was spotless and very well kept and supplied and was so much better than a hotel! I didn't realize how high up the home and town were! So if you aren't in good physical shape or have breathing issues I wouldn't suggest renting there. It was only 12 minutes to town so close enough to do a few times a day. Got to watch My Eagles Win their 2nd Superbowl there and was great starting at 430pm vs. 630pm back home. Highly recommend this home and love to see in summer! Owner was very helpful when ever needed.
We had a great stay at this cozy, charming little home! It is nestled in a pine forest in the mountains just south of Breckenridge, which gave us an opportunity to enjoy the busy town when we chose to, while also feeling like we had a true mountain escape in the wilderness! The views of mountains and a babbling brook from the wrap around deck are amazing and the hot tub is roomy and pristine! The kitchen is well stocked and larger for this size of home. The beds were the most comfortable we have ever experienced in a rental, complete with quality linens. Great hiking and gorgeous sight-seeing all around the area. Owner was helpful and easy to communicate with. We would stay here again.
We enjoyed our stay and were very happy with the layout of the house. PROs:- beautiful mountain home- quiet and privateCONs:- getting out of the driveway was challenging with an AWD SUV after snowplows cleared the road following a 4" snow. - Discovered there was no body wash or dishwasher soap once we used shower and dishwasher for the first time. - Ask for the house rules prior to your stay. We had to leave the property by 6am to catch flight at DIA and were instructed to have all towels and bedding washed and dried. Given the TOD, we were advised to use the speed wash which takes 15 minutes, something my minor germophobe tendencies doesn't embrace as a new guest.
We had a great stay in Blue River. The view from the balcony was fabulous and peaceful! House was very well equipped. Easy drive to Breck with lots of hikes, waterfalls, lakes and great food!
Everything was clean and the place was spectacular. We did have an awd vehicle and had to be pulled out of the drive way by a tow truck since we couldn’t get up the hill but that could be due to a rental car not having the best tires. But the host was very accommodating with a recommendation of who to call and very helpful. Would stay there again without a doubt.
The property was in an upscale neighborhood inan excellent location, close to Breckenridge, Frisco, Dillon, Keystone and Copper Mountain. There was great hiking accessible across the street,and lots to do in the area. The property was very clean and well appointed,and had all the comforts of home- a modern and well stockedkitchen, very comfortable living area with lots of light from all of the windows overlooking the deck. The large screen TV was a bonus withaccess to great streaming channels. A wonderful jacuzzi hot tub complete with comfy robes, a large wrap around deck with nice dining table and adirondack chairs facing the mountains was the icing on the cake. Hearing the mountain stream cascading over the rocks at the back of the property was so relaxing. The forested setting added to the serenity and privacy of the property. The hosts were very accommodating and ready to assist if needed. This will be our go to destination vacation rental every time we return to the area.

most relaxing vacation yet
Our hosts thought of everything. The house was neatly prepared allowing us to relax and enjoy the mountain.
We absolutely loved our stay. The location was perfect, not too far from town and the lifts. Quite neighborhood and visits from the local Moose and fox were a real treat! Dawn is very responsive and accommodating! Highly recommend this location.
We had a wonderful stay. This was our second time staying at La Barranca. The house is cozy and has everything you could need. We've stayed at many rental properties over the years, and Dawn and Terry are pro's - responsive and accommodating. We would stay here again!!

Fantastic!
La Barranca was such an amazing place to stay. The view of the mountains, wrap around deck, hot tub, fireplace, being tucked away surrounded by pine trees - it was perfect! My wife and I stayed for a week and it was truly lovely. Only a 10 minute drive into town as well.

Excellent rtay in remote, but close cottage
2 Couples had a great time in the mountains. The views were breathtaking and the proximity to town was perfect for our little group. The fireplaces around the home and the hot tub on the deck made it feel so cozy and warm. Was such a delight to be able to have our pups with us as well! Will definitely be looking to stay again!
