Before reading further about what makes our vacation home a special vacation experience, I wanted to share some thoughts about taking a vacation during these uncertain times caused by the Covid pandemic and other stresses in our lives...
Who ever thought “Social Distancing” would be a common term in our way of thinking and conversing?! A lot of time has past since the term was coined in 2020.....but...has Covid gone away?? NO. Are we less afraid? Maybe.... But while the daily hype may have largely gone away, at Forest Hause, we still take the quality and safety of your stay seriously and follow the CDC and CDPHE institutional cleaning requirements for safe public use environments.
If there was a way to describe our vacation home “Forest Haus” in terms of safety from exposure to illness like Covid (or even just getting away from "the crowd") it would be that Forest Haus offers “Natural Social Distancing”. You are tucked away in the White River National Forest. If you want to play with the crowds in the bars and restaurants, you are a quick 5 minute drive to the historic town of Breckenridge. If you want your privacy, our home offers this exclusivity. You can turn your privacy on and off at your discretion.
Do you need to work while you are getting away for an escape? Do your children need to distance learn while they are away? Our home offers business class high speed internet. EVERYONE can do their work before they play!! Forest Haus is an ideal Stay-Cation home.
There is also a lot of room to spread out. We offer several private bedrooms and can sleep 8 people individually. As part of licensing requirements, the County has designated the home's maximum occupancy as 8 adults. If needed, each adult is able to have their own bed. We have 3 Queen Beds, 2 Full Beds, 1 Set of Bunks and a Couch that opens into a high quality Queen Bed. There is 2000 square feet of living space and accessing the Internet is Ubiquitous through out the home and outside on our deck.
Our location and its private setting offers everything you would desire in a vacation experience. Forest Haus not only provides safety for your friends and family, but a spiritual uplifting that will reset your compass and freshen your soul.
Our home is safe because it sits on 1+ acres and is nestled among towering pines offering a great deal of seclusion to commune with nature. You will also avoid the socio-political factors of living among "locals" that may feel uncomfortable about you being too close to their space.
I think we all deserve a vacation and I hope that you will choose to be a guest at Forest Haus. Our vacation home continues to add fortitude and resilience in my life and the life of my family during times of challenges and desires to be amongst family and friends..
If you decide to stay, I will assist you with my "local knowledge" to help you enjoy your time in Breckenridge. And now....our story.....
Our family has owned this magical home for 35 years. The locals call our home 'Forest Haus' because of its location and serene setting. We call it our 'Breckenridge Escape' because when we get away from the hustle and bustle of our everyday life it renews our spirit every time we visit. You can't overestimate the value of a great vacation. Our home is a 'difference maker' in that regard! I am sure you have heard the saying 'location; Location; LOCATION'!!
Our home offers family style luxury accommodations in a private setting on a 1 1/2 acre lot, with towering blue spruces surrounding the property line and the soothing sound of the wind whispering through the trees. The home is nestled in the White River National Forest with a natural Victorian setting outside and tongue and groove stained birchwood with vaulted, wood beam, family room ceiling inside to provide a comfortable, warm ambiance.
We are just a few minutes from the "Touristy" action in the heart of town (skiing, restaurants, shops, night life) but a quick peaceful escape back to Forest Haus when its time to enjoy peace and privacy with family and friends.
Take our tour on this website and see why our mountain retreat can help make your visit a very special & meaningful vacation. We have tried to capture the essence of Forest Haus in our description, but there are intangibles that can only be described by the vacation experience and feeling that Forest Haus will leave etched upon your heart and soul.
Enjoy A True Mountain Vacation Experience in Comfort! 'Forest Haus' offers all the conveniences of home, including a full kitchen, utensils, a 47 inch big screen 3D TV, Blue Ray DVD /3D, (bring your 3D glasses!) Sony Play Station 3, Stereo Tuner/CD player, iPod hookup, Wireless Internet, outdoor speakers, washer, dryer, coffee maker, and microwave to name but a few. The dining room is large with plenty of room for large families.
Enjoy the views out our door, and the comfort of our hot tub on the deck, sheltered by an open-air roof. The stars and Milky Way are vivid and spectacular in the evening sky from our home. You will also enjoy wildlife vistors in our very personal setting.
In the summer, hiking and biking trails are right out our front door. Or relax on the back yard deck to a glass of wine, dine outside on our outdoor dining set beneath the pines, and listen to nature at play.
In the winter, use the cross country ski trail out our front door for some gorgeous views up and down the valley or let the kids sled down our hill (we have scooter sleds in our garage). The ski area is just a short five minute drive down the hill from our home and so are the town activities.
A Vacation on YOUR TERMS... There are a lot of vacation choices available to you. There are not many that offer the kind of vacation experience that our Forest Haus offers.
Vacations are precious and good ones are priceless. You are going to spend a good deal of hard earned money to have a good vacation with family and friends. For me, there is nothing worse than saving your way to a bad vacation. We have tried to make Forest Haus a great value for our guests!
Our home is not cheap...but it is not expensive either. We are somewhere in the middle of the pack, but offer the best vacation value. What Forest Haus offers is the optimal blend of true privacy and tranquility along with good proximity to the town below. Have fun downtown when you want to, but when your are done with the crowds, take the short five minute ride back to the house and not worry about 'noisey' and /or 'nosey' neighbors.
You don't have to share our hot tub with anyone accept those that have joined you on your vacation. You don't have to sit in a hot tub and shake hands with 'bubba and the boys' sitting in another tub on the deck right next to yours! Does this sound a bit 'tongue in cheek'? Yes, ...probably...but it is a lot closer to the truth than you might think!! Not many homes in the resort offer the kind of privacy that Forest Haus does. Many are built so close together, you can reach out and touch your neighbor. I live in a house packed neighborhood day to day in Denver. When I go to Breckenridge, I want to escape to the mountains....not another jam packed housing community.
Check Out Our Story...: Experience nature close up. The starscape at 10,500 feet is incredible and like no view you have ever seen! Sitting in the hot tub and looking up at the stars and the vivid Milky Way is breathtaking!! Our home provides your visit with real privacy; quiet setting in the forest; close proximity to the action; a vacation on 'your terms'...It is all covered in our story about Forest Haus. Give us a call. We would love to meet you. If we can't answer your call, lleave us your telephone number and we will call an introduce ourselves to you. We are friendly and want to share our treasure with great, respectful, fun loving people like you.
Our Goal: To provide you with a vacation experience unmatched in the Colorado High Country.
