Discover High Altitude Haven, a 3-bed, 2-bath cabin at 10,000 ft! Indulge in Placer Valley's beauty, just 18 miles from Breckenridge. Year-round fun with many 14ers nearby. Serene aspen and pine surroundings. Modern amenities: internet, satellite TV. Dog-friendly! Stargazing at 10,000 ft is epic.

Welcome to High Altitude Haven - where the mountains touch the stars and adventure beckons from your doorstep!

This cozy 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom cabin is your gateway to the pristine beauty of Placer Valley, a tranquil neighborhood perched at a breathtaking 10,000 feet elevation.

A scenic 18-mile drive north will transport you to the world-class skiing and vibrant town of Breckenridge, making this retreat the perfect blend of mountain seclusion and accessibility to restaurants, spas, boutique shopping, and more!

But it's not just winter magic here; this cabin boasts year-round appeal. The home is located on Mt. Bross, and with other epic Colorado 14ers like Mt. Quandary, Mt. Lincoln, Mt. Bierstadt, and the DeCaliBron 14er loop nearby, you'll find some of Colorado's best high-alpine hikes waiting for you to explore.

Surrounded by serene aspen groves and lodgepole pines, High Altitude Haven seamlessly merges indoor and outdoor living. Step onto the spacious main deck,  private gas grill, and outdoor dining area, to bask in the pristine mountain air and soak in the beauty that surrounds you.

We know you don't want to leave modern comforts completely behind, so High Altitude Haven offers high-speed internet and a TV with satellite channels. Stay connected after immersing yourself in the stunning wilderness of Colorado.

For those traveling with furry companions, we've got you covered! Our dog-friendly cabin welcomes up to 2 well-behaved dogs for an additional nightly pet fee, ensuring that your four-legged friends can enjoy the mountain adventure too.

At over 10,000 feet in elevation, the night skies here are nothing short of spectacular! Prepare for some awe-inspiring dark-sky stargazing and impromptu meteor showers.

Please note that while the elevation adds to the charm, there are also multiple stairs throughout the home, including to the main entry point, which may pose challenges for individuals with certain medical conditions.

Your safety and comfort are important to us and individuals who may struggle at higher elevations should seek SkyRun properties located at a lower elevation.

So whether you're seeking an alpine escape to hike the peaks, hit the slopes, or simply unwind beneath the stars, High Altitude Haven is your ideal home away from home.

Book now and elevate your Colorado adventure to new heights!

COLORADO TRACTION LAW:
From September through May 31, the Colorado Traction Law is in effect for all drivers traveling on I-70 between Morrison and Dotsero as well as US-285 to Breckenridge. This law mandates that vehicles must be equipped with either four-wheel or all-wheel drive and snow-rated or mud + snow tires. Alternatively, vehicles with two-wheel drive must have winter tires, chains, or other traction devices. Ensuring your vehicle is properly equipped is essential for safe winter driving in Colorado. If you’re renting a car, be sure to confirm with your rental company that your vehicle meets these requirements.

IMPORTANT WINTER ADVISORY:
Please be aware that during the winter months, roads and driveways are likely to be snow-covered or icy, making four-wheel drive (4WD) or all-wheel drive (AWD) essential for safe travel. We are unable to offer refunds for vehicles that get stuck or require towing, and unfortunately, we cannot assist with towing or vehicle recovery. Additionally, some properties may require 4WD or AWD even during non-winter months due to uneven terrain and dirt roads. If you have any questions about your rental, feel free to reach out to us for further details.

This was the perfect spot for a weekend getaway in the mountains! The house felt secluded while still being relatively easy to access and we got beautiful scenery with the first snow of the season. SkyRun was very responsive on everything throughout our stay

Host's response:

It's great to know that you appreciated the secluded feel of the house while still finding it easy to access.

What a fun place to discover interesting quirks around every corner! The kids loved spending time in the loft space and the adults enjoyed the comphy beds and plenty of hot water for showers. Perfect location for day trips to Kenosha and Breck, nestled in the trees on the side of the mountain.

Host's response:

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that both the kids and adults had such a great time, from exploring the fun quirks of the home to relaxing in the cozy beds. It sounds like the loft was a hit! We're glad you enjoyed the perfect location for day trips to Kenosha and Breck as well, and that the mountain setting nestled in the trees added to your experience during the beautiful fall season! We hope to welcome you and your family back for another memorable stay soon!

we loved the house! felt very private, even though there were other houses nearby. it would have been nice to have instructions to open to trash can outside--bear-proof. our kids loved the games and sleeping arrangements. we were happy to see there was a stroller in one of the closets (we forgot ours) but sad to find it was broken. we were going to bring our dog, and paid the pet fee. but due to a miscommunication between me and my partner, we left him behind. SkyRun refunded the pet fee no issues when I asked!we would stay again with SkyRun!

Cabin was good, as described. Not many restaurants or stores around so be prepared to cook or drive out about 30-40 min. Peaceful and quiet location though. Beautiful views from the cabin.

Great place! Not quite as isolated as we had hoped; very close to neighboring homes/rentals. However, still very peaceful and quiet.Unfortunately, checking in was a little difficult. SkyRun had the wrong information. I sent a text with my email, but never received any check in information. Part of this was Airbnb's fault. The correct information was with them, but never communicated to SkyRun. Ultimately, I had to call the emergency number and a representative did get things worked out.Overall, we had a very nice time.

Review

Place was great. Exactly as listed. Definitely quirky, but that added to the charm. Comfy, windows all over were great, lovely views, great way to get away from it all. Kitchen was well stocked and we had everything we needed. This place is not for someone with any sort of mobility issues and there's really only a spot to park for one car. Lots of steps to the house itself and lots of steps and stairs inside. Not a problem for us, but something to be aware of.Our only gripe was minor, and that was the timing of sending check in codes. They said they'd send by 4pm and they did....only waiting until check in time to send the check in info meant we didn't have a data signal to actually get the info. Had to drive 20 minutes back into town and call the management company for the code and then drive back. They'd do better sending that info earlier to make sure people get it before they actually need to get into the home.Other than that. Lovely place. Would stay again.

Host's response:

Hi Heather, thank you for the stellar review! We're thrilled you enjoyed the quirky charm, comfy space, and lovely views. Your feedback on accessibility and parking is appreciated, as it will help future guests make an informed choice about this rental. Apologies for any inconvenience with the check-in code timing; we'll ensure to send it earlier in the future. We appreciate your suggestions. We look forward to hosting you again! SkyRun Breckenridge

We enjoyed this beautiful mountain home in a secluded neighborhood. It's quiet and mostly wifi only. Convenient location about 30 mins south of Breck and 10 mins from Alma. Unique house with many windows but many stairs from driveway down to entrance. Just a note for families with small children or elderly people. Definitely more suited for younger folks. 4WD vehicle is helpful for spring/fall and definitely needed for winter. Good value.

Had a wonderful time at this exquisite property up above the hustle and bustle of normal life! Definitely get a awd to get to the property. And also this is not an ideal property if you are looking to work as the internet is at best spotty. This is a very secluded property with absolutely stunning views of surrounding hills in Alma. Even though its up in the hills, its well connected to the neighboring towns. The place is fully equipped with all household amenities( no dish washer) The property is exactly as described in the photos. We had a wonderful 5 days and would love to come back.

We loved this quirky new air bnb! It always feels risky booking a new listing with no reviews, but we were glad that we decided to book this one. The whole house is super cute! We loved staying downstairs. This place was a dream during leaf peeping season. The aspens around the house made hanging out on the porch even more enjoyable. This cabin is secluded in the mountains which was perfect. We didnt find ourselves wanting for anything; it had every basic amenity that you need to cook a nice meal- we cooked several! We will definitely be back! Thank you for a lovely stay!
