Two
Vacations in One Helps Make it Special for You
If you are local to Colorado, you may appreciate this observation
more. And, if you are visiting from another state, you may
still notice the same feeling. Once you drive up into the
foothills just outside the Denver metro area and leave the
city behind, it feels like you have entered into another world!
You could be in Montana if you didn't know better!! Well,
this same concept applies to our vacation home in Breckenridge.
When you enter the town of Breckenridge, you will notice the
Victorian splendor of an old mining town that has been resurrected
to be one of the worlds renowned ski resorts. It is an awesome
feeling to "arrive" and get your vacation started. However, you
and several thousand people are experiencing this at the same
time. After all, it is a popular resort and therefore quite
crowded. "But with a quick drive up the hill from the center
of town and the Peak 9 ski area (our mountain retreat is
located just 1000 vertical feet directly above the town
of Breckenridge on the southeast side of Main Street),
you will have just re-entered "Montana".
For Anita and I, this is an important aspect
about our vacation home. We looked at many different homes
right in, just within and outside of the resort. As with any
popular resort, to accommodate the thousands that visit, you
must create the venues to keep them coming back. The price
of progress is the crowding of homes, hotels, restaurants,
shops, skiing and nightlife. We chose Forest Haus because
it lets us enjoy all that the resort has to offer, but on
our terms. It is a quick and convenient drive down the hill
to town, but when we have had our fill of "bang and glitter",
Montana is just up the hill and we can get back to enjoying
our family and friends in a relaxed environment.
So, Forest Haus is two vacations in one. It offers the flexibility of easily
enjoying the resort amenities when you want to, and "turning it off" when you need to.
It’s nice to know that you can be in control of your vacation. If you are going to
spend a lot of money to go on a vacation…wouldn’t it be nice to know with certainty
that not only are you going to enjoy it, but that the money you spent was well
worth it? Heck, it should be one of your perks!! Our experience is that Forest
Haus stacks the deck in favor of having a very special vacation. It’s why we
bought the home in 1988, and to this day, we are so ecstatic that we did.

Road on your drive up to our home.
Our home is 1000 vertical feet directly
above Breckenridge on the south east
side of Main Street. It is a short 5
minute drive down this roach from
our home to the middle of town, the
