The Hilltop A-frame

The Hilltop A-frame sits on a private 5-acre plateau above Fairplay, Colorado, at roughly 9,500 feet, with mountain panoramas and clear night skies for stargazing. Fairplay is 10 minutes away, Alma 20 minutes, Buena Vista 35, and Breckenridge 43, putting the cabin within reach of skiing, hiking, biking, and fishing while still feeling tucked away.

Inside, a compact kitchen covers the basics with a new oven, retro fridge, coffee grinder, and drip maker. A spiral staircase (steep and narrow, not suited to small children or large suitcases) leads to a queen bedroom and a second room with a twin bed and a desk for remote work, backed by Starlink internet. An electric fireplace, Smart TV, record player, and Sonos speaker round out the living space, and the entire cabin, including a washer and dryer, is yours for the stay.

Dogs are welcome for a $60 per-dog fee, and the property includes a fenced backyard, dog beds, bowls, and waste bags. There's no air conditioning, so summer nights cool into the 40s, and winter travel calls for a vehicle with good tires given the unpaved road. Water comes from a 283-foot well, and hot showers run 10 to 15 minutes before reheating.

Check-in is self-service via smart lock, and booking runs directly through the property's own site. Rates start at $150 a night for up to three guests across two bedrooms.
