Cozy Creekside Cabin · Fireplace + Views | Cabin in Blue River
2 Bedroom Cabin in Blue Rock Springs, Blue River
Fall asleep to Spruce Creek rushing past your window and wake up to pine-scented mountain air — all just 3 miles from Breckenridge's Main Street. The Velvet Moose is a cozy, whimsical creekfront cabin: a stone fireplace glows below vaulted ceilings, a loft tucks two more beds under the rafters, and a private creekside bench waits for your morning coffee. Ski days end and slow, creekside mornings begin right here — moose sightings included.
ABOUT THIS SPACE
The Velvet Moose is a mid-range mountain cabin that's been fully refreshed without losing its rustic Colorado charm — new lighting, new appliances, updated electrical and HVAC with air conditioning, and a redesigned dining and living area throughout.
The open-concept living room is the heart of the cabin: a stone fireplace under soaring vaulted ceilings, warm wood panels on the walls, and stylish seating for unwinding after a day on the mountain. Tucked in the corner is a favorite guest spot — a cozy desk nook beneath a moose painting and a big round clock, with high-speed WiFi that makes it a legitimate work-from-cabin setup when you need one.
The rustic dining space seats the whole group under exposed wood beams — pull up a chair for pancakes before skiing or a slow dinner after. Just steps away, the kitchen has been modernized with new appliances, ample counter space, cooking basics, and a Keurig that brews both grounds and K-Cups.
Down the hall, two bedrooms give you real privacy: one dressed in soft premium linens with a starry accent wall, the other positioned to catch a view of 13,800-foot Redd Mountain right out the front window, plus the sound of Spruce Creek drifting through the glass April through November. The full bathroom between them has been completely modernized with a new vanity, fixtures, flooring, and tub surround.
Climb the stairs to the charming loft, where vaulted ceilings and rustic wood beams frame two additional beds — the spot the kids claim first, and the reason this cabin comfortably sleeps 6.
Outside is where The Velvet Moose earns its name. Step off the deck and you're at Spruce Creek itself — a quiet bench for listening to the water, an outdoor dining table beneath towering pines, and a gas grill for easy cookouts. Gear storage is provided right on site for skis, snowboards, and fishing equipment. Locals still call this "the red ski cabin," and once you've watched a moose amble through the yard, you'll understand why.

WHO THIS HOME IS BEST FOR
Couples who want quiet creekside evenings after big mountain days, without sacrificing a quick drive to the lifts.
Families with kids who will fight over who gets the loft — two extra beds up under the beams keep everyone together.

PARKING
Free parking is available directly on the property, with room for multiple vehicles in the driveway — no permits, apps, or street parking required. Ski, snowboard, and fishing gear storage is on site, so you're not loading equipment through the cabin every day or hauling it up and down condo steps.

As part of booking, you'll e-sign a short Reservation Agreement (required by our short-term-rental insurance provider) and a $300 credit-card damage-deposit hold is placed about two days before arrival.
