We loved the location and size of this house. The house had everything we needed for our stay and plenty of beds for our party of 9. Our kids enjoyed the hot tube and our entire family enjoyed the pool table. The views from the house are fantastic and we enjoyed viewing moose, deer, and coyotes from the deck.
We have visited FairPlay 3 times now and this has been the BEST experience. It was a bit out of our budget but it was worth every penny. This home has everything you could possibly need. Extra toothbrushes, soap, bug spray, board games, a bunch of kitchen dishes and appliances. The listing mentions the wildlife in the area and it is very accurate. We saw elk, deer, plenty of chipmunks and even a bear!! The trees are beautiful, weather was great. There were 16 of us and we had plenty of room to sleep. The hosts were quick to respond and left plenty of instructions. I hope to come back next year , this home should definitely be your first pick.
Everything about our stay was amazing. The views were spectacular and the location was perfect. Just 20 minutes from the nearest town with all the amenities youâd need (grocery, gas, coffee) but isolated enough that you have all the nature Colorado has to offer (we saw moose, countless deer, and so many humming birds!)The house was amazing. Well stocked and supplied, clean, and everything was labeled so no hunting around for the right cupboard. The hosts supply an oxygen concentrator, which was appreciated by all of us flat landers!
We rented this beautiful place for a family vacation and a wedding ceremony. The house was beautiful and the view was breathtaking! We saw wildlife around the property everyday. The hosts were amazing throughout the entire process, and the communication was great, both prior and during our stay. The home was fully stocked with everything we needed plus many extras! It was a wonderful experience and hope to be able to do it again soon!
My friends and I had a great stay here. The home was beautiful along with the views, and offers many amenities. We loved the clear directions and helpful signage throughout the home. Our hosts were very responsive prior and during our stay with any questions. I would highly recommend booking this home. The reason we chose this location was for overall bed options and location between our itinerary of skiing in Breck and hot springs at Mt Princeton.
Property was amazing. Family gathered and stayed comfortable. Plenty of room for our party of 10. Do recommend 4wd. The best part is the Hosts. Kia is an amazing host, top notch and thinks about everything!
We had the handfast ceremony aka old wedding of our dreams at this cabin. The space for everyone to have there own rooms for the days befor the wedding. The entertainment basins the beauty of the mountains surrounding you. The little fox friends that come to visit you, all the beautiful wild life. Our wedding and time at this cabin was literally magical and perfect. The owner is fast responding and amazing to work with. Overall so happy we choose the mangy moose to stay!
A beautiful home to host our friends and family for our destination wedding. We spent a couple of days playing games, hot tubbing and making meals together. We ended our stay with a gorgeous outdoor wedding with the background of colorful trees and open sky!
Our hosts communicated well and were friendly. We were welcomed with beautiful flowers and a gift for our wedding. Above and beyond the norm. Fully stocked home. Would return in a heart beat!!
I am a Colorado native living on the east coast now, and this getaway at the Mangy Moose was an absolutely perfect way to spend my summer vacation. I spent the days with a group of friends I havenât seen in agesâ thereâs plenty to do around the surrounding towns, but we mostly enjoyed staying on the propertyâ playing games, hot tubbing, enjoying the views from all the patios⊠it was relaxing, rejuvenating, and everything the listing advertised. Most importantly, all of us slept comfortably. All beds and furniture were ultra comfy! The hosts were super responsive and helpful with all questions we had before and during our stay. Love this special place!
The house is situated above a large expanse of willows and brush so that at anytime you will see a moose or deer munching away.
Itâs a great place for a large group as there are many places to gather or to be alone.
The Bunkhouse is probably more suited for children rather than older adults as no bathroom is available.
South Park has lots to offer and worth your while to spend a few days.
Kia was quite possibly one of the best hosts Iâve ever rented from. The house was on point, accurate and advice and beyond whatâs usually promised and kept at a rental. The house had so many unique and minor touches that made it feel like home more than majority of rentals that seem crudely put together.
A group of friends now spread around the globe get together when we can for a reunion. The Mangy Moose was very high quality, well stocked, well managed and BEAUTIFUL. A perfect place for quality time in a group.
We could not have been happier with our stay, which was for a family reunion. The hosts go above and beyond. The house was clean and well equipped. The location was gorgeous. We are grateful and would definitely stay again.
The home is just outstanding in many ways. It is beautifully furnished including comfortable beds and plenty of extra blankets. The kitchen is better stocked than my own. They have thought of several details to make your stay simply memorable, such as everything is clearly labeled, coffee and creamer is in the refrigerator, altitude recommendations and medication if needed. We were in town for my daughterâs wedding and they left a wedding gift for them. Super sweet. They were available for any questions I had. Truly a memorable stay. And we even saw a moose in the backyard by the creek.
Wonderful visit, wonderful property. We were looking for a property to accommodate a large group for a family get together and the Mangy Moose hit it out of the park. Everything was above and beyond. Classy retreat, secluded with spectacular views. The VRBO descriptions can never do it justice. The hosts know what they are doing, nothing was missed, like a lot of rentals, there are a lot of instructions, but theirs are very subtle and donât come off as âyellyâ or condescending. The extra touches were everywhere. Beautiful, well appointed home, exactly as advertised with breathtaking views. We unfortunately did not see a moose during our stay but were able to watch the mule deer feed near the stream nightly. As someone who rents vacation properties 2 to 3 time a year I will say the hosts of the Mangy Moose could give a master class on proper vacation home hosting. Thanks for a wonderful visit.
Absolutely stunning. The house was great. Fully stocked on basics plus the forget me box was a huge help. The drive up is bumpy so make sure to listen to Kia. Rent a n suv if needed. Wildlife was unreal. My husband saw a baby moose being chased by 3 wolves. He whistled and it was able to get away. Momma moose chased the alpha wolf away. Never thought we would see something like that. Chipmunks visited us daily. Sitting on the back porch watching it all was the best. It was quiet and dark at night. Great sleep. We brought our kids and grandkids and they loved it. Lots of toys there for the babies and games for the bigger kids. I could go on about how wonderful it was... Dont miss your chance to stay here. You will be happy you stayed.
These hosts helped us in an unfortunate change of events and were absolutely wonderful in accommodating our group. Very easy to communicate with and their responsiveness was very timely. We hope to visit again in the future!!! The actual house was fabulous and extremely well stocked and cozy!!
After seeing all the 10/10 reviews on VRBO, I had to say I was skeptical. But after arriving at this cabin, I realized why all the reviews were so good. We have stayed at a lot of properties over the last 8-10 years, and this is by far the best stocked cabin we have ever stayed in. It had everything that we needed, and was labeled very well to be able to find things without looking all day. The view of the surrounding mountains is amazing, and the cabin itself is truly a beautiful home that we have enjoyed thoroughly over the last several days. We saw moose almost every day when we would go to town, and the owners were the best I have ever experienced at communicating with us to answer questions or make sure the cabin was running perfectly (even on the weekend!). It sounds like a sales pitch, but this cabin and it's owners truly stand out as one of the best experiences we have had with VRBO ever. Our family is very thankful that we were able to stay here, and I look forward to returning in the summer or fall to see the area again. 10/10 all day long!!
Wonderful home, lot, views, finishing, extrasâŠ.absolutely great! Note: it is a good 40 min drive to Breckenridge and this property is out in the middle of the mountains that REQUIRES a 4WD in the winter. No âquick tripâ to the grocery store. But if you plan ahead, this is absolutely better than staying âin townâ and not missing out on all this place offers. Weâre planning to go back this summer. Again, just prepare ahead of time with shopping to do meals at home and you wonât even want to leave this place other than a trip to the slopes or tube hills in Break for a day.
Hosts is SUPER quick and good with communication. I was very impressed with it on many different levels!
A number of little complains about things that could have been better, but remember youâre renting out a place in the middle of the Rocky Mountains, so come on!
Overall: very happy and will be renting it out again without hesitation.
The house was beautiful and well stocked. There are excellent amenities in the house (hot tub, pool table, games, puzzles, etc) The beds were comfortable as well which was a bonus. We would stay there again.
