Embracing the principles of a wooden-clad chalet with contemporary features, Mont Vista Chateau is a palatial eight-bedroomed mountain escape that welcomes up to 20 guests. It’s the ideal choice for a large family celebration surrounded by stunning scenery and just a short distance from the vibrant town of Breckenridge itself.

Breckenridge was built on the back of the Pikes Peak gold rush of 1859 when gold and silver were found in the nearby mountains. Today, the mines have fallen silent, but 'Breck' (as it's known to the locals) is still as lively as ever. Now, instead of prospectors’ hardware stores lining the historic streets, you’ll find gourmet restaurants and boutique stores. The ski runs offer challenging black slopes for more advanced skiers, while lifts and gondolas take hikers and explorers to the mountain trails during the summer.

This large chalet has upscaled the concept of a mountain retreat and is spacious enough for its 20 guests to enjoy a wealth of living spaces. Each area is lavishly furnished with bespoke sofas and opulent leather armchairs. An elegant dining table is perfect for a formal meal or stepping outside onto the patio during the warmer months for an al fresco BBQ. A full-size games room keeps everyone entertained in the evening, and a quiet office with fast WiFi allows you to upload those Instagram moments or answer emails.

The bedrooms are mindfully decorated, using soft, earthy tones and plenty of brightly coloured textiles to give each room a pop of colour. Four king-size bedrooms are distributed throughout the house on different levels, benefitting from exquisite mountain views and completed by attractive ensuites. The remaining bedrooms all have cosy queen-size beds, with guestroom four featuring two beds to make a comfortable family room. One of the rooms also features a twin-over-twin bunk that younger guests will love.

Outside, an eight-person hot tub with staggering forest views invites you to open a bottle of wine and join your friends and family as you watch the sun slip below the horizon. With the thriving historic centre of Breckenridge just six blocks away, Mont Vista Chateau delivers an idyllic blend of mountain cabin and family chalet in one of the region’s most desirable neighbourhoods.
