High Country Club BreckenridgeMap Search

The High Country Club Lodge is a spacious and majestic, yet comfortable and cozy property, located on five wooded acres on Breckenridge Mountain near Peak 10. Although set in an exclusive area of multi-million dollar homes, it is totally private-you cannot see or hear any of the neighboring homes. This property is nicknamed the "Lodge" because of its three-story mountain stone and wood construction, impressive western décor, wide open floor plan with vaulted ceilings and oversized windows that offer breathtaking views.

The 4,800 square foot home is large enough to accommodate even the largest family and group of friends! It features two master suites, two additional bedrooms, 4 ˝ baths, a billiard room, office and two entertainment areas. The office and lower level entertainment rooms can be converted into bedrooms with large pull-out sofas, giving the Lodge six bedrooms. Complementing the Lodge experience is a twelve person hot tub and oversized grill on the large deck and a fire pit in the yard.

The Lodge is located in South Breckenridge, 10,000 feet above sea level, where the air is crisp and clear, within a five minute drive of the ski slopes and Victorian Breckenridge. The surrounding forest of tall stately trees is quiet and still, and shows signs of native wildlife such as large paw prints, hoof tracks and antler scratching among the conifers!

A striking wood and mountain stone interior gives the Lodge a warm and rustic feel. The décor exhibits a grand western ski-lodge theme with hints of cowboy life with rough hewn wood, mountain stone, Native American prints and leather beautifully integrated. Western accessories adorn walls throughout: vintage snow shoes, toboggans, ice skates, skis, sleds, horse shoes, saddles, cowboy boots and hats and pictures of famous American Indian chiefs. The main level has hardwood floors and heated floors throughout provide all rooms with even warmth.

A handsome ten foot tall door graces entry into a foyer surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows, mountain slate tile flooring and a wagon wheel chandelier. There is a spacious coat closet and powder room.

The main level of the Lodge boasts 25' vaulted ceilings with exposed wooden beams, effective lighting accents, and more floor-to-ceiling south-facing windows.

Focal point of the Great Room is a floor-to-ceiling mountain stone gas fireplace with a massive wood mantle, all flooded with light from the tall windows. Two leather sofas with large pillows, stretched leather chairs and a large wood and iron coffee table are positioned on cow-hide rugs in front of the fireplace. Candles of various shapes and sizes are arranged on a five foot sofa table between the Great Room and Kitchen Area. There is a 40" LCD Flat screen TV, a DVD player and a Bose sound system on the fireplace mantel. Two glass doors on either side of the room lead out to a wrap-around deck.

Near the Great Room is a double-door entrance to the Master Bedroom Suite featuring its own vaulted ceiling and double wide windows The bedroom is furnished with a king size bed, end tables and lamps, a large dresser, TV and DVD player. Double French doors access an outside wrap-around deck and Jacuzzi.

The adjacent Master Bath, has a glass enclosed shower with tiled seat, a long vanity with double sinks and a large soaking tub with windows that overlook acres of tall timbers and the snow-capped Rockies. There is also a very large walk-in closet.

The Dining Area, just off the Great Room, shares the vaulted ceilings and expansive windows. A massive ten person, rough hewn oak dining table with hi-back chairs on an American Indian print rug dominates the area.

The Kitchen Area is just beyond the Great Room and adjacent to the Dining Area. There is a wrap around counter with a multitude of rough hewn oak cabinets and drawers, and a large center island/dining counter. A large widow over the sink provides the cook with breath-taking views of the timbers while preparing vittles for the cowpokes.

Saddle seat metal kitchen stools with cowboy and bronco metal cut-outs around the foot rests continue the Western theme. The Kitchen's ample furnishings include all appliances, wine refrigerator plus deluxe small appliances such as coffee maker, bagel toaster and blender. It is amply stocked with pot and pans, glasses, silverware, gourmet cooking utensils and everything you need to grill anything from fish and steaks to veggies. It is well stocked with spices, soaps, detergent, zip locks, fresh batteries and all types of sundries-even a "come and get it" metal triangle on the wall to round-up the posse!

A Kitchen Foyer (mud room) between the garage door and Kitchen Area contains a desk, abundant shelving, horseshoe coat racks and a multi-person bench to change those ski or cowboy boots.

A Laundry Room off the Kitchen area has a full-size washer and dryer, large counter and board for ironing.

An open stairway leads to a landing which overlooks the Great Room and Dining Areas.
Large double doors off this landing lead to the Office containing a large, rough hewn wooden desk and chair positioned against a side wall with a large skylight overhead. There is also a sofa, end tables, coffee table and a large, walk-in closet. The sofa opens to a Queen bed for a fifth bedroom.
The large upper level Master Suite bedroom has a king size bed and full bath with high vaulted ceilings. There are oak nightstands with saddles carved into them, cowboy statue lamps, large dresser and closet, and a TV & DVD entertainment center.

Both the Lodge Great Room and main level Master Suite open to a large south-facing Wrap-Around Deck. A 12-person hot tub located on a corner of the deck remains heated at all times in case a deck party breaks out! The deck's oversize grill and six person wrought iron table and chairs assure tasty vittles in the great outdoors! There is plenty of firewood for all your campfire needs.

Parking space is plenteous with a two-car attached garage plus additional parking space for six cars.

The Lodge has humidifier controls throughout as well as wireless-G internet and a 4-port wired hub. HBO is available on the TVs and there are several new DVDs and Xbox games. Like all High Country Club properties, the Lodge is very kid friendly provided with a Pack n' Play, a high chair, and a gate installed at the stairway. Sleds are provided for all the kids (1 to 100!).

As usual, the High Country Club concierge provided exceptional service. Upon request, they FedEx'd the property information and keys to the resort where we were staying the week prior to our week at the Lodge. They also responded to my late evening e-mail regarding a TV issue by having their local property supervisor resolve the problem by the next morning. They are pleasant people who obviously take pride in the service they provide!

Disability Access - The garage entrance to the kitchen foyer (mud room) has a two-inch step. Once inside, all main-floor areas are level

This is one of High Country Clubs flagship locations and is outstanding in every way. The only amenity missing is the ability to ski-in/ski-out but this is more than offset by the stunning property and majestic grounds. I believe it would be impossible to have both proximity to the slopes and the great mountain experience that this property provides. Rating = 10 (more if possible)!
