Pet Friendly, Mountain Views, Near Fishing, Skiing and Hiking - Con Alma

Con Alma is just a mile and a half off of Highway 9 going to Breckenridge. This gorgeous 2 bedroom and 2.5 bath home is just 15 miles from Breckenridge and a short walk from the Platte River. The home has an intimate living area with a sofa sleeper, flat screen TV and a cozy wood stove. There is a rocker by the wood stove to warm up and relax in. The modern kitchen has granite countertops and stainless appliances with custom pine cabinetry. A gorgeous new balcony porch off the second main level is the perfect spot to look over the river, wildlife and mountains surrounding.

Upstairs the master bedroom has a king size bed and master bath with walk-in shower, jacuzzi tub, 2 sinks. The laundry is also on this floor with a stack-able full size washer and dryer. The walk-in closet is large enough to have someone sleep in there if they wish. There is a deck off of the master bedroom looking down the valley at the mountains and river. The second bedroom is on the main level, it has a full size bottom and twin size top bunk beds. If you have your best friend with you, there is a dog door, into the enclosed yard from this room. The bathroom on this level has a walk-in shower to help relax after a day of hiking, skiing or fishing. The entrance has a bench to take off your outdoor clothes and shoes, with a 1/2 bath close to get in that emergency bathroom break.

Some of the day trips you can take from the home include going to the Victorian town of Breckenridge where you can ski and snowboard at the world class resort. They offer ice skating, snow tubing, an alpine slide, mountain biking, a gold coaster, lots of unique shops and great dining. The best white-water rafting in Colorado is found on the Arkansas River just 45 miles away. The cute ghost town of St. Elmo is very close too. You can visit and feed the chipmunks and watch the 100's of hummingbirds in the summer. This is a popular hiking and ATVing location. Many of the famous 14'ers surround the home and Fairplay where you can hike or climb to the top. The offer some of the most amazing trails in Colorado.

If you are interested in going to the Colorado Springs area, it is only 90 miles away. You can visit Garden of the Gods and Royal Gorge in one day trip. I recommend going to Florissant Fossil Beds in Florissant which is only about 60 miles away. If you like to fish, the Platte River is right by the home and offers Gold Medal Fishing. Montgomery Reservoir, Lake Jefferson, Antero Reservoir, Spinney, and Eleven Mile Lakes are also very close. It is also a hunting paradise if you have a license. Horseback riding is just 10 minutes from the home at the South Platte Ranch. They have awesome day trips and evening steak rides.

This home is accessible in every season as it is a short driveway and off of a main county road with easy access to Highway 9 in the winter months. Whatever your favorite activity is, you can be assured of a memorable and fun vacation whatever activity you choose!

Quiet with Beautiful Scenery
The cabin was clean, very comfortable and well stocked with towels. Had a small issue with dishwasher, but owners were prompt to respond and get it fixed. Everything around the cabin was very quiet, scenery was beautiful, and there's a large variety of things to do within a short drive.

Absolutely beautiful place to stay!
This was the perfect, cozy cabin for a weekend getaway! It's the perfect balance between privacy in the mountains and not being too far from surrounding little towns! The views were unforgettable. The house was clean and roomy. We couldn't have asked for better weekend in CO!

Get away
Good base camp. We enjoyed hiking and exploring Alma, after a long hike it was nice to come back to a house to clean up and relax. It could use some little upgrades though, like a bench in the entryway to sit while taking/putting on shoes. Replacement of lightbulbs in various rooms, once the sun goes down the house is pretty dark. If you're going to cook make sure you bring your spices, oil, foil, etc. Like I said a good base camp with beautiful scenery.

Beautiful location
The kitchen had very few cooking utensils. It is not a place to stay if you plan to do much cooking. No biig spoons to stir any thing with. Also no tissue anywhere only toliet paper. The rocking chair in the living area was very rickety as well as one of the dining chairs. Other than that our stay was nice.

Great house!
We loved the time that we spent at Con Alama. The house is located just outside of Alama. It’s a quick drive into town where we were able to visit the South Park Saloon and Almart for any quick needed items. The house is only 10 miles from Breckenridge which offers AMAZING views when driving over Hoosier Pass.

Great location
Everything went well. However, we give it 4 stars because we did not like the bed in the master bedroom. But other than that, we are quite pleased with our vacation. Only 25 minutes from Breckenridge. In the other direction, about 15 minutes is Fairplay which has a grocery store and a Dollar General. 2 fishing spots less than 5 minutes from the house. Also hiking trailheads less than 20 minutes from the house. I caught my 1st. rainbow trout and we saw our 1st moose! Aspens were golden. Awesome scenery everywhere, including from the deck of the house. Having laundry machines was convenient. The fenced back yard was great for our small dogs.

From the sea level to high altitude
We enjoyed our stay in the mountains of Colorado. What beautiful scenery all around the house! The house felt cozy and comfortable for our family. We traveled with a small dog and she had a great time, too. All of us experienced high altitude sickness (nausea, hard to catch our breath), but we live at sea level. We enjoyed the solitude and tranquility.

Ski Vacation
The home is small, outdated and was not cleaned to the standard we typically find in VRBOs. Furniture was uncomfortable at best. Most of the dining area was broken, loose or wobbly. The house advertised sleeps 5, which was true, but there was only safe seating for 2. Kitchen was stocked with terrible cooking pots and pans. Mismatched glasses, mugs etc.

Great views. The amount of stairs was imposing. Lack of some essentials , no kleenex, no bar soap or body wash , only liquid hand soap. Lights in kitchen not all working. Dining table chairs unstable. Very limited seating (only a small 2 person couch and a rocking chair).
