TELL ME ABOUT THIS HOME & ITS HISTORY:
Dog-friendly, tranquil retreat nestled in the forest with Monte Cristo Creek views of the back decks!
This peaceful creekside getaway has comfortable mountain furnishings. This cabin was built in 2013 by its owners and children with a deep love of nature.

The Meditation Area:
The Angel guarding the Monte Cristo Creek & property has deep significance to the owners and is in loving memory of their loved one. Many guests enjoy this meditation/reflection area.

The owners are thrilled to welcome you to their home and happy to share Riffel's River Retreat, hoping it brings joy and peace to you and yours. Pay attention to the original artwork and sewing crafts personally created by the owner for you to enjoy - including the fabulous end tables in the main living room.

The artwork, linens, drapes, and woodwork add elegance to this handcrafted Colorado Rockies Home. Spend quiet evenings relaxing by the fire or cozying up with the family for a movie night. Meander outside (with your 4-legged pal, perhaps) and cross your private forest bridge to stroll along Monte Cristo Creek. This secluded home offers 1.5 acres of room to roam. Enjoy the fresh mountain air, roast marshmallows over the fire pit (check for Summit County fire ban/restrictions!), or cook a meal on the gas grill. This beautifully designed mountain retreat is ready-made for your next family vacation or group getaway!

Breckenridge Ski Trip
Great property. We had to cut our stay one day short due to power loss on 12 Jan resulting in no water or electricity. Main power pole was sheared off in high winds during blizzard and damage was not reparable within the time we had remaining. Other than that very comfortable and in a great location. Property management staff was responsive.

We loved the house! It was far enough away to feel secluded, but still close to things. The kids had a wonderful time playing outside.

Beautiful home and property!
We had a great time! Love that all the adults had their own bedroom with king sized beds. The home and property are beautiful! My only suggestion would be to get a water softener system as the water is very hard and smells like iron. We would definitely stay again.

No one wanted to leave
My husband and I, three children, two significant others and their dogs spent Memorial Day weekend in this wonderful home. From the moment you enter, the attention to detail is obvious. The kitchen is large and well stocked with anything and everything needed to prepare meals together. The furniture is comfortable and with 2 fireplaces, 2 TV’s and two family areas everyone can spread out. Our favorite plus was 4 bedrooms, each with a king size bed. Our daughter was so happy not to get a bunk bed!! But next….. when you go out onto the decks or into the backyard it is pure serenity with the steam that runs through the back yard. The location is private. Easy access to Breckenridge. Everyone wanted to stay…..indefinitely. We hope to return.
