Sugar Moon Chalet | 5BR Mountain Retreat Near Breckenridge

Fall in the Colorado high country happens in a blink. Mornings turn crisp, the sky deepens to blue, and seemingly overnight the aspens begin lighting the hillsides in gold.

Sugar Moon Chalet puts you right in the middle of it.

Set in Alma, about 12 miles / 25 minutes from Breckenridge, Sugar Moon is a professionally designed 5-bedroom retreat where high-country adventure meets a warm, restorative place to come home to. Fourteener views stretch beyond the windows, the Middle Fork of the South Platte runs directly across the road, and Hoosier Pass, fishing, hiking and miles of Colorado mountain country are close at hand.

Spend the day hiking beneath golden aspens, fly-fishing cold mountain water, exploring Breckenridge or simply following a scenic road to see where it leads. Then come home before sunset, leave the boots at the door, warm up in the panoramic sauna, light the wood-burning fireplace and watch the mountains disappear into a dark, star-filled sky.

Close to Breckenridge. Closer to what you came to Colorado for.

SLEEPS 12 — WITH REAL COMFORT FOR THE GROWN-UPS

Sugar Moon was designed for families and friends traveling together without asking half the group to compromise on where they sleep.

The home features:

4 private KING bedrooms
1 queen-over-queen bunk room
3.5 bathrooms
Sleeps up to 10

Four king rooms make Sugar Moon especially well suited to couples traveling together, adult siblings, multi-generational families and friend groups. The queen-over-queen bunk gives kids, teens or another pair of guests a fun space of their own—all within one connected home.

Luxury linens and thoughtful bedroom details make coming home from a long mountain day almost as good as heading out for one.

THE HEART OF THE CHALET

The great room rises to a dramatic 21-foot A-frame peak, with natural wood, stone, rich color and expansive windows framing the high-country landscape.

At its center is a real wood-burning fireplace.

There is something about coming back cold and tired, getting a fire going and watching everyone slowly find their way into the same room. Someone starts dinner. Someone pours a drink. Someone tells the story from the trail again because it gets better every time.

This is the kind of togetherness Sugar Moon was designed for.

PANORAMIC SAUNA + HOT TUB

After hiking, skiing, fishing or exploring, step into the private panoramic barrel sauna and take in the view from the warmth.

In fall, watch the last light move across golden hillsides. In winter, sit surrounded by snow. Summer evenings hold the mountain light late into the day.

Guest robes are waiting inside, and a private hot tub offers another place to slow down beneath Alma’s wonderfully dark skies.

FULLY STOCKED KITCHEN + SPACE TO GATHER

Mountain days create mountain appetites.

The kitchen is stocked for groups, with cookware, bakeware, serving pieces, dishes, glassware, coffee supplies and the essentials needed for shared breakfasts and big dinners.

Make pancakes before Breckenridge. Pack lunches for the trail. Put something slow on for dinner while everyone heads to the sauna.

Around here, meals have a way of becoming part of the trip.

GAME LOUNGE

The lower-level game lounge gives kids, teenagers and adults another place to spread out, watch a movie, play games and settle into a little friendly competition.

That means plenty of togetherness without requiring twelve people to spend every minute in the same room.

DOG-FRIENDLY BY DESIGN

Dogs are not simply permitted at Sugar Moon—we planned for them.

A dedicated dog run makes getting outside easier, and the dog wash is ready for muddy paws, snowy legs and whatever else your mountain adventure brings home.

Because sometimes the best hiking partner has four legs.

FALL IN THE HIGH COUNTRY

Fall is one of the shortest—and most spectacular—seasons here.

Follow the aspens toward Hoosier Pass. Hike under gold leaves. Fly-fish the Middle Fork of the South Platte. Watch for wildlife, explore Breckenridge, take a long scenic drive or stay right where you are and enjoy the view.

Then come home as the temperature drops.

Sauna. Fire. Dinner. Stars.

By morning, another hillside may have changed.

You have to catch fall while it is here.

AND WHEN FALL ENDS...

Winter brings Breckenridge skiing and snowboarding, alpine touring, Nordic and cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling and long evenings by the fire.

Spring brings longer light, soft snow, late-season ski days and slow mornings waiting for the mountain to warm.

Summer opens the high country for fourteeners, hiking, fly-fishing, alpine lakes, mountain biking, rock climbing, horseback riding and wildflower-filled days outside.

Whatever brings you to Colorado, Sugar Moon is meant to become part of the experience—not simply where you sleep afterward.

THOUGHTFUL HOSPITALITY

We believe the best hospitality is often the part you barely notice: clear arrival information, a properly stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, enough towels, useful local recommendations and someone responsive when you need help.

And when you're looking for something special, we're happy to connect you with trusted local partners—from private chefs and massage professionals to guides and mountain experiences when available.
