The huge living room located on the main floor has a custom-framed flat screen high-def TV along with a Super Nintendo, HBO, and Showtime, big beautiful windows that offer amazing views of the iconic Breckenridge mountains, ample seating including leather couches, and gorgeous custom stone fireplace. Walk into the open, entertaining kitchen from the living area that is equipped with a double oven, and large stove with hood, countertop seating for 4, and a large refrigerator hidden by the custom wood design that comprises the kitchen - the perfect space for a holiday stay with family and friends. Also on the main floor is the laundry/mud area that includes storage for ski equipment, and the large master suite with a king bed and master bathroom with natural sunlight from the windows, a walk-in shower, stand-alone tub, and his and her vanity sink.

This house has an amazing view! The large living/kitchen area was great for our big group. We liked that we could walk out the front door and pick up the hiking trails.

Great stay!

The wood burning fireplace was amazing and the view out the living room.......wow! Only a few minutes to the gondola parking lot for skiing and Christy’s sports is right down the road for ski rentals- couldn’t be easier.

Beautiful home in a great location.

I normally don’t review anything whether it’s good or bad, but this property is amazing. Not only is the house beautiful, there isn’t a house right next to you. The house has great views from every room and had plenty of floor space for our grandchildren to play. Three moose showed up one morning to visit us. We would definitely rent this property again. It was a wonderful Christmas setting.

EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS HOUSE WAS PERFECT.

A truly luxurious house! The common areas are big and open and the rooms/beds are quit comfortable. Stayed here with my wife and three of our couple friends. Everyone really enjoyed the stay, the large hot tub, and the isolated house just a few miles away from the slopes and city center! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a getaway.

5-star home on the edge of Breckenridge. Easy driving distance to downtown and the gondola parking lots. This house has everything you want in a mountain getaway, gorgeous mountain views, a fully stocked gourmet kitchen, comfortable bedrooms and beautiful bathrooms. The mudroom and laundry made coming home from skiing easy and a great place to store ski gear.

Best time in Breck

Absolutely amazing stay at the Observatory! The views were amazing and the house is cozy. My entire party enjoyed the privacy in each room and the drive to DT Breck was not bad at all! Would recommend this house to anyone traveling to Breckenridge.

The house is beautiful, has everything you can need.
My only recommendation would be to put something on the stairs, if you’re wearing socks, they can be slippery.
And the chairs of the dinning room, there legs were loose, so we have to be very careful to moved them, besides that, everything was perfect

Manager Response: 

Thank you Guadalupe for your review! We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay! We will look into putting something on the stairs - thanks for noting! I also told our onsite maintenance team about the lose chairs to get these fixed - thanks for mentioning this as well. 

Thank you,

The property is spacious and excellent in most all aspects. The disappointment was that after booking, we arrived to a home that was not ready for rental as the garage still had the previous owner's off road super buggy with CNC lathe and saws and welding equipment including at least three compressed oxygen cylinders which pose a threat that made me uncomfortable. When I mentioned this to the staff they aid they should have kept the garage closed off. What I anticipated was that an organization with such a long history in rentals would out the safety of the guest above profit. Instead, I got no call back from the GM as I had requested. This will be a great property once the industrial equipment, the potential threat and the industrial smell are removed and remediated.

Manager Response: 

Hi Jeff: 

Thank you for your review of The Observatory - we always like to hear from our guests in order to provide the very best vacation rentals and customer service.

We apologize for the items stored in the garage, and have worked with the homeowners to ensure that these items are currently closed off for future renters until they are permanently removed from the property.

Our General Manager, Justin DeSola, was aware of the situation right away, and called you back and left you a voicemail. He looks forward to your call back to discuss the matter in more detail.  

This is one of our most popular properties that we rent in Breckenridge, and are glad to hear that it was excellent for your stay in most aspects.

We pride ourselves as offering vacation rentals that meet the standards of our guests, and want to ensure you that all comments received from guest stays are handled immediately, professionally and appropriately. 

Thank you, 

Candace Taylor
