    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!!

Very nice and quiet.

Our small group of adults loved the cabin. While we didn't see much in terms of wildlife, the cabin and the hot tub were very relaxing. We'll add this cabin to our short list for future trips in the area.

Amazing Property to explore!

We loved our stay at this cabin! The views were amazing with mountains all around! It's remote but still close enough to get help if you need it. There's so many fun things to do with the old mine behind the cabin. We had a blast sledding behind the cabin and playing in the snow!

Wonderful Mountain Getaway

The pictures for this property really do not do it justice. We had a truly wonderful stay at the Irish Rose and were able to comfortably accommodate six adults. The area was quiet and just the right amount of secluded. The entire group would highly recommend this property.
