Things to Note Property Layout: Cougar Cabin is a three-level home. The main entrance is on the ground floor. The main living area is on the second floor, with the Elk Master Suite and Mama Bear Room located on the third floor.
Seasonal Considerations: • We use well water, and you may occasionally hear the air release from the pump near the laundry room. • In winter, snowplows may begin early and cause some street noise. • The deck and front areas are not shoveled, only the main entrance is maintained. • Outdoor furniture is stored away during winter months. • The driveway is regularly plowed when it snows.
Environment & Wildlife • This is a high-altitude mountain home surrounded by forests. Wildlife is part of the experience. o You may see elk, foxes, bears, or other local animals. o Do not leave food, trash, or pet food outside. o Stay hydrated — the altitude may affect sensitive individuals.

Cameras / Surveillance This property has cameras outside facing all the entrances, driveway and backyard. There are no cameras or surveillance devices inside the property.

The house was very clean upon arrival. The host was quick to respond with any questions we had and was great at communicating information at check-in and check-out. We enjoyed the trails right by the property and walking to/from town. Very happy with our stay and the amenities and thoughtfulness the host put into small details.
My daughter and I along with our Golden Retrievers had a wonderful stay. The property is in a beautiful setting with a large deck that has lots of privacy. Our pups enjoyed the back yard and hiking trail into town. Kitchen has everything you’ll need. We just had a lovely stay.
Stayed for 2 weeks and had a wonderful time. Location was perfect! We love to cook and the kitchen had everything we needed! Attention to detail was great! Clean and cozy with so many thoughtful things provided for us.
Our recent stay at this VRBO property was absolutely fantastic! House was very clean, warm & welcoming - well stocked. The communication with the host was exceptional, was prompt and made us feel valued & well taken care of! The fire-pit was a great spot to hang out in the evenings. Trail right out back door was perfect getting to town 😊 Would stay here again!
Great location and wonderful views. The deck can’t be beat. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need. Quiet and private. We will definitely be back.
We very much enjoyed our stay. The house was the most well stocked house we have ever stayed and had lots of space for the extended family. The trails behind the house were amazing especially for biking, walking to town, or taking the dog out. The host was very communicative when I had to reach out for a few things, she responded quickly and was a lot of help. Thanks for the hospitality!
Was in town for a conference. Home and property were very nice and well apportioned. The location is off the beaten path with direct access to very nice walking/biking trails. We were there in September and it was absolutely beautiful. Also got their first snow of the season. While you are there, Breckenridge Distillery is a must visit - best steak I have had in a long time. Whiskies weren't bad either.
Nice property in the trees. Very well stocked and clean. Large deck looking towards mountains. Nice easy trail right off the back yard. Owner was very nice and responsive. Thank you for letting us bring our dog - she had the most fun in Breck!
Loved our stay with our adult daughter and both of our poodles! Lovely location, quiet neighborhood and cozy home with great views off the back deck. Loved the sauna, but we did have to dig our way out there with all the snow we had (not complaining, snow was WAY worth it on the slopes.) Thanks as well for a very well stocked kitchen and home, made everything super easy.
My husband and I stayed at the Cougar Cabin along with our two Mini Aussies.It was very dog friendly. The cabin was one of the older places we have stayed in while visiting Breckenridge. It could definitely use some updating but overall was comfortable for our needs. The street it is located on is very busy. I would recommend ear plugs to use while sleeping. The plow trucks woke us up every morning. Communication with the owner was amazing. I left some facial products in the bathroom and they were kind enough to ship them to me.
Beautiful house and location. Hosts are great! We loved our stay and lacked nothing!!

Cute and cozy cabin!
We had a great stay at this cabin! The location is perfect and in a beautiful neighborhood of Breckenridge. The cabin was adorable and very cozy! Would definitely stay here again!!
Beautiful location. Incredibly well appointed home -- has everything you might need, especially in the kitchen and bathrooms. Great for extended families. Communicative and very gracious host.
The house is perfectly located for anything you want or do I the mountain resort. Bike trail from your backyard. Beautiful deck to enjoy sunset. Min rides from the best trails with waterfalls and mountain goats!
We loved this house. We were close to town for shopping and meals. We rented e-bikes to ride to Frisco. Nice ride on smooth trail. The house pictures were very accurate. The view of the mountains was breathtaking. The host was very responsive.
We had a long work-ation stay and enjoyed the expansive deck and exploring the area with our pup and friends. The location is a convenient ten minute walk downhill to town, but walking back up takes some effort because of the 200 foot elevation change. The house was stocked with plenty of supplies from the kitchen to the bathrooms to the laundry room.The top floor (bonus office) with the beautiful window view is acessed via very precarious freestanding stairs that require extreme care navigating, and because of that, we tried to voided that part of the cabin.The property is located on a very busy hill, with noisy traffic starting from 6:30am onward. After our stay, we noticed that a previous guest mentioned earplugs for sleeping - we would also recommend that. It was very easy communicating with the owner, and she was very responsive.
My husband and I were thrilled to find Vanessa's cabin available on short notice for a spontaneous getaway. It absolutely lived up to our expectations. The cabin is spacious, cutely decorated, and well-stacked. And, as a bonus, pet-friendly! Our pup enjoyed exploring the deck, yard, and nearby trails. The cabin is located in a quiet and secluded neighborhood, but it's only a couple minutes drive to downtown Breck. You can also take the trails and walk into town (it took me ~15 minutes). The internet was fast and reliable. Vanessa was friendly and easy to communicate with. Just an A+ stay all around! We can't wait to come back.
We give this cabin 10 out 10 stars!!! Very clean cabin, well equipped kitchen, the most beautiful views, wonderful patio, great floor plan for the entire family. The host is so nice & very accommodating. We plan to come back for another stay in the summer.
We were lucky enough to stay here for a month this fall. The house is great. We loved the location, the views, and the comfortable furniture. The house was so well stocked with everything you need. Vanessa was incredible easy to work with — she responded to questions right away and was so flexible with us. I would be thrilled to rent this house again to enjoy the gorgeous fall in Breckenridge!
