The Experience
Start your morning on the porch glider with coffee and panoramic mountain views as you plan the day’s adventure — hiking, horseback riding, snowshoeing from the front door, or skiing and dining in Breckenridge.
After a full day outdoors, unwind in the hammocks beneath towering pines, gather on the deck for dinner and s’mores by the custom gas fire pit, or soak in the hot tub under a sky filled with thousands of stars. Relax by the warmth of the wood-burning stove or enjoy a game of pool before settling into plush linens for a restful night in the mountains.
Alma, North America’s highest incorporated town, offers authentic mountain charm just minutes away — yet the property feels wonderfully private and removed from it all.
Minimum age to rent: 25 STR License Number: 24-0204-01
Guest access You will have access to the entire property, except for one locked owners' closet.
Other things to note Winter Access
4WD or AWD vehicles with snow tires are required October–May. Mountain weather can change quickly, and significant snowfall is common at this elevation. Most guests find the scenic drive part of the true Colorado mountain experience — but proper winter vehicles are essential. Please plan accordingly when renting vehicles, as we are unable to offer refunds due to road conditions or vehicle-related access issues.
The road is paved until you reach Placer Valley, where it becomes gravel for the final 3.5 miles to the cabin. The west side of the valley can be bumpy in dry conditions — drive slowly and enjoy the views.
Connectivity
There is no traditional cell service at the cabin. However, most guests are able to make calls and send texts using WiFi calling via our fast Starlink internet. A landline is also provided for guest use.
Safety Notes
The cabin is not childproof. Guests are responsible for supervising children at all times. Please note there are open stair risers and no protective guards around the wood-burning stove.
Altitude
The cabin sits at approximately 11,100 feet. Some visitors may experience altitude-related symptoms. We recommend staying well hydrated, taking it easy upon arrival, and consulting your physician prior to travel if you have concerns. Prescription medicine is available that can really help.
Additional Notes
We do not provide a grill due to altitude-related performance issues.
Neighbourhood Description
High Country Haven is in the Placer Valley, situated at the base of the Mosquito Range, about 15 miles south of Breckenridge. With Breckenridge Ski Resort, popular 14er hiking trails, the Continental Divide, and Colorado Headwaters fishing all within reach, the Placer Valley attracts visitors seeking authentic mountain experiences all year round.
At the bottom of the neighborhood runs the Middle Fork of the South Platte River - a gold medal trout river that originates just up on the Continental Divide. The Alma State Wildlife Area protects the wildlife-rich habitat along its shores. You may want to try your hand at gold panning here!
At the north end of the valley lies the Montgomery Reservoir. You can fish from its shores. Just up the hill lies the Magnolia Mill, a vestige of the area's mining past.
Mount Bross, Mount Lincoln, and Mount Democrat tower over the Placer Valley, providing a stunning backdrop to your stay.
