'The Irish Rose' - Your Colorado dream vacation get-away!

The Irish Rose has become a vacation favorite for guests from all over the world! Just take a look at our guestbook comments below! This mountain cabin is located on the historic Mosquito Gulch Trail. Just 15 miles south of Breckenridge, it is the perfect spot for either a secluded get-away or a ski vacation at a fraction of the cost.

Centered on ten acres of pine and aspen, the Irish Rose was designed to accommodate those who want a true Colorado experience. With Mosquito Creek flowing nearby, you will enjoy spectacular views of Pennsylvania and London Mountains as you relax with family and friends. A seven person hot tub sits out front in the location of an old historic mine if you want to relax and enjoy the view from there!

If summer hiking, biking or four-wheeling is your desire, four of Colorado's 14,000 foot peaks are at your doorstep, providing some of the best hiking and driving trails in the world. Tackle the summits of Mount Bross, Mount Democrat, Mount Cameron, and Mount Lincoln... all in a single day!

Gold pan on the local creeks, explore 'Buckskin Joe' trail, and visit the ghost town of Park City. The historic mining towns of Alma and Fairplay are also nearby. Mountain bike to your heart's content or drive the legendary 4x4 'Mosquito Pass' into Leadville. Pick wildlowers and view wildlife--there's something for everyone!

If winter activities are your goal, the beautiful village of Breckenridge is just a short drive north where you can enjoy premier Colorado skiing, dining, and shopping. Keystone, Arapahoe Basin, and Copper Mountain are also close. Or, stay near home and cross-country ski to your heart's content. We have it all!

The Irish Rose was built with families in mind. The main level has a great room with a gas fireplace and floor-to-ceiling windows showcasing the beautiful mountains and trees. It is surrounded by a huge 32x8 foot wrap-around deck. A full kitchen and dining area are also on this level to create an open, spacious environment. Pets are NOT allowed, No Smoking.

There are two main level bedrooms, one with a queen bed, and one with double bed and trundle geared for up to three kids. The great room sofa also pulls out to a queen-size bed. The master bedroom loft has a queen bed, washer and dryer, along with a small private balcony. There are full baths on both the main level and the loft.

The cabin also has a lower level with a private entrance in the back which is only used occasionally by the owners during periods of maintenance and upkeep. It is never rented and will almost always be unoccupied during your stay.

Experience the Rocky Mountains in the comfort of the 'Irish Rose'. At over 10,000ft elevation, it's as close to heaven as you can get!

This was the perfect getaway! My boyfriend and I stayed at the Irish Rose to celebrate our birthdays and it was magical! Beautiful views, a beautiful cabin, and the hot tub was awesome! Even though the windchill reached -20 degrees during our stay, the Irish Rose and surrounding scenery more than made up for the cold. Rich was super responsive and kind.Could not reccomend the Irish Rose enough!!

Beautiful secluded getaway

Awesome stay away from a lot of people. We loved the location and want to go back! We saw Moose, and mule dear from the deck and enjoyed the hot tub every evening. They had toys and movies that were perfect for our 3 kids all 7 and under. We caught pretty brook trout on the property, loved the acreage and not seeing any neighbors! Felt like an actual “getaway”

Disliked: Cleanliness
We planned this vacation for 3 months and the reason we chose this cabin was the description and emphasis on cleanliness, but unfortunately that turned out to be wrong. When the owner sent us a welcome message a week before our arrival, we also told him that cleanliness is very important to us, especially the cleanliness of the Jacuzzi, he said that it is not usual for them to change the water after each guest, but that he would do it for us. Later we realized that the gentleman doesn't know anything about cleanliness and the first day when we arrived and found dirty pillows, blankets and blankets after 14 hours of driving, we wanted to rest, but that was a shame for us. We contacted him and sent him pictures and the first thing he offered us in a rude way was to leave the cabin and that he would refund our money, which is very unprofessional on his part. Many problems with this cabin, I will list some: The view is obscured by overgrown trees that need attention, the 10 acres in the description are useless 10 acres because everything is overgrown and impossible to move around, let alone spend time, if you want to go outside his property, there are no trespassing signs, the bridge over the river is unsafe, the small toilets in the bathrooms are definitely not adult size, there is mold on the edges of the bathtub, the upstairs room makes a noise every step or movement…Definitely worse deal ever and worse host ever…

Local mountain paradise

Can't wait to return to this specific mountain location. The pictures and description were on point! We booked for a birthday trip and now the family is asking when we get to go back. We were able to see deer and even moose while cooking dinner and went on hikes everyday. The host makes sure you have everything you need and the property manager responds quickly if there are any questions. I have recommended to several people in state and out!

We will be staying here again! And soon! The location is amazing. Middle of nowhere, which is exactly what we were looking for. The satellite internet works better than my Com*ast at home. The place was clean, exactly the right size for the 5 of us, and just beautiful. We didn't run out of places to explore. Lots of animals to watch. What a perfect Father's Day weekend with my girls. Thank you so much!!!

The Irish Rose was perfect. Quiet, secluded, comfortable, with beautiful views and lots of wildlife. The kitchen had all the pans, implements etc we needed. We enjoyed exploring the property and the hot tub was great. All around, we couldn’t have asked for anything else and hope to make it back someday.
