Understanding Vacation Rentals

Never stayed in a vacation rental before?  NO PROBLEM.  We know that new things can be scary and intimidating at times, but enjoying your vacation should not be one of them. Let's review why staying in a vacation rental is the ONLY way to truly experience the Breckenridge lifestyle.  
Below are some FAQ's about vacation rentals that we believe are helpful to know-

Why book a vacation rental versus a hotel room? (This answer could be pages long, but I will keep it simple)
You enjoy all the amenities of home, from away.  You have your kitchen, living room, dining area, bathrooms, bedrooms and simple comforts.  It's not a 250 sq ft box with two beds, a tiny fridge and noisy neighbors.  Vacation rentals are truly a home away from home.

Are vacation rentals more expensive than hotels? NO.  They can actually be a more affordable option.  If you consider a two bed hotel room versus a two bedroom vacation rental. Hotel is $173, Vacation Rental is $129.  So, for $44 less you get two separate bedrooms, a kitchen, living room etc.  Now, that is a deal you cannot pass up! More bang for your buck.

Is it difficult to book a vacation rental? NO. It is incredibly easy.  We list our properties online at www.skicountry.com as well as countless other sites such as Orbitz, Expedia, etc. Find your ideal property and book it online or call us direct for personalized suggestions.
