Burro Trail Vista is a classic Colorado mountain cabin. This beautiful home features mountain cabin styling, high end appliances, family friendly amenities with a ping-pong table and hot tub. It is located on a hilltop lot at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac only 5 miles North of Fairplay and less than 25 miles from Breckenridge, this home is a perfect home base for any Colorado Rocky Mountain Adventures!
As you enter the home, you are greeted by the floor to ceiling windows of the Great Room that feature epic views across the valley. The open concept Great Room and Kitchen make spending quality time as a family easy! Comfortable seating around the television and gas fireplace provides a cozy central living space for all to share. The ample counter space of the well appointed Kitchen with stainless steel appliances ensures that you have everything you need to whip up a delicious meal for your loved ones, then settle in for your meal time or a good game around the dining table with dinner side window vistas as far as the eye can see.
The full size Central Bathroom located in the hallway offers a standard vanity and toilet with a bathtub/shower combo so you can choose to start the day with a quick and refreshing rinse or you can sink in for a long, hot soak after all the activities a day in the Colorado Rocky Mountains may afford. Across the hallway from the bathroom is the Queen Bedroom featuring large windows, a new Queen size bed fitted with luxurious cotton bed linens, a dresser and standard built-in closet. At the end of the hallway you will find the Bunk Bedroom and Ensuite Half Bathroom with toilet and small vanity. This room features large windows, a Queen over Queen size Bunk bed - both fitted with luxurious cotton bed linens, and wall length built in shelving storage with bins.
Make your way up the steps to the cozy open Loft Bedroom where you are greeted by identical Queen size beds fitted with luxurious cotton bed linens and velvety comforters.
As you make your way to the ground level of the home, you enter the unfinished basement. A full size ping-pong table and stack-able washer/dryer unit is available for guest use, so no need to waste precious vacation time waiting at the laundromat in town.
The front porch of the home offers outdoor seating, a propane BBQ grill and a hot tub available for guest use. Glacier Ridge is home to a variety of wildlife and this spectacular location affords opportunities to observe Elk, Deer and Foxes (just to name a few!) right on the property. Additionally, the wetland area located less than 3 miles from the home is one of the few areas where you may be able to see Moose in their natural habitat.
