Outstanding ski vacation staying in a beautiful custom home
Rubywood was an amazing place to have a gathering with friends. Very comfortable and homey! It is set in an absolutely beautiful setting on a ridge above the town with all the amenities. Would definitely stay again! It is about a 10 minute drive from the main part of town. It's beneficial to have a 4WD vehicle in the winter when there is snow.

We love this house!
We spent a week and spent most of our time relaxing and enjoying the view. Felt like we were in our own snow globe.

Unbelievable house
The house literally has top of the line everything and is well cared for. We cooked dinner each night in the kitchen and it's set up for a large party- two ovens, huge range, two sinks, two dishwashers, two garbage cans- and it has a million pots/pans/mixing bowls/cutting boards/etc. and all top of the line. There is a big grill with a gas line from the house (no propane!) right outside the kitchen which was convenient. The hot tub is perfect with a killer view of the mountain. The theater room is unreal- two huge Murphy beds, plenty of theater seating, and a bar- plus the sound system & picture quality on the massive screen was crystal clear. Everything is super easy to work. The only complaint was about the dryer- it took about 3 cycles to get the clothes dry as it never warmed up. As the listing notes, make sure your car has 4-wheel drive...luckily we did because if there is a decent snowfall (4+ inches), no chance of making out without 4-wheel drive. * I noted 4 stars for Location/Neighborhood. The neighborhood is perfect. The location is 10 minutes to the mountain as noted but the .2 miles to the shuttle is all up hill from the house (you could ski back to the house if the roads are covered) and the shuttle comes about once every 45 minutes. Over 4 days of going back & forth to the base of the mountain dropping off & picking up, we never once saw the shuttle. Be prepared to drive to the base each day- parking is a nightmare so you have to go early or have someone who isn't skiing drop you off.

Perfect Fall Covid Getaway
We were looking for a place to accommodate our family and friends who had all been diligent about self quarantining and being Covid aware since spring. We wanted someplace with privacy and was large enough to easily accommodate 9 adults. This place was perfect! We felt completely isolated, but were actually still very close to everything Breckenridge has to offer. And with the community enforcing a mask mandate, we even felt safe when we had to make several trips into town for supplies. The amenities made our stay fun and memorable.. the large gathering areas, extra spacious kitchen, outdoor hot tub....and the home theater was perfect for late night movies!! and the VIEW from both the huge living room windows and the outdoor patio...AMAZING!! We can’t wait to plan another trip to this fabulous property!!

Beautiful home, beautiful location, beautiful amenities--all you need in one spot!
This was our second stay at Rubywood and won't be our last. The home is SO lovely-grand and luxurious, yet so homey. I think we used every amenity it offered (other than using all of the MANY sleeping options). 1. We relaxed in the large hot tub while taking in the breath-taking mountain peak views. 2. We enjoyed happy hour cocktails on the front patio. 3. We sat in the outermost sitting area (yes, there are several) watching the snow fall, reading and sipping our morning coffees and cocoas. It was like we were in a snow globe with the floor to ceiling windows! 4. We played games and sang along while our friend played guitar in the middle seating area. 5. We watched two movies (with popcorn and all!) on the HUGE screen in the amazing entertainment room with theatre seating. 6. We enjoyed cooking in the well-appointed kitchen and eating at the huge dining room table so much that we actually ended up buying more groceries to cook at home rather than go out to eat as we had planned. 7. It was SO nice to just open the door to the dog run knowing our little furry friends would be safe protected by the tall fence and we didn't have to go out into the snow with them! 8. Last, but not least, each of our three couples had a luxurious king sized bed and private bathroom. Really comfy! I hope to experience this house in every season and plan to go back often!

Most Beautiful Mountain View We’ve Ever Had
Rubywood is truly a zen retreat with more quiet, peace and gorgeous views than any of our precious ski houses. Make sure you look at the pictures, because that is what you get, and it’s stunning. It housed three generations comfortably, has a fantastic theater and a kitchen and great room big enough for all of us. We will be back every year.

“Our family will book this property every year!”
Ok, first of all, THE VIEW. We sat on the perfectly silent patio overlooking the Breck ski area across the valley and just totally DECOMPRESSED. It was like being in the middle of nowhere, but with tons of fun nearby. The lodge is gorgeous, the theater is a perfect place to watch football and there were beds enough for both generations of our family. Thank you for sharing your gorgeous ski haus, even though we enjoyed it in the summer!

Beautiful home- likely better in the summer…
The home is beautiful, and very well laid out. the sleeping arrangements, family room, and kitchen are all first rate. Our only real issue was that in the winter, they don't remove snow from around the house. It isn't cleared off the back deck, or around the jacuzzi, or on the porch overlooking the mountains. So, you of anything outside of the house is not useful in the winter. In fact, we had to have 2 cars towed up the hill because they could not make it out of the drive. And they were all wheel drive vehicles! That said, the house has a beautiful view, and is well maintained. I would consider this more in the summer tho.

Amazing Mountain Home with Exceptional views
We love coming up to Rubywood! We have been there in the summer where we enjoyed the outside dining area and in the winter where we ejoyed snowshoeing. This is the perfect place to relax and getaway. With plenty of space for all ages to watch movies, play games, and cook an amazing dinner in the gourmet kitchen. THe views are amazing and instantly puts you in a worderful relaxing mood. Very close to downtown Breckenridge so you can still be apart of the town atmosphere.I would recommend this place over and over for any getaway! Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Incredible Mountain Getaway!
This incredible home far exceeded our expectations! From the private serene setting, nestled in the pines above the town of Breckenridge to the panoramic breathtaking views of the ski resort this is a property that will not disappoint. There is plenty of room for a large family or several groups of friends with private rooms for all. The kitchen is huge with plenty of space for preparing great meals and drinking fine wines! We enjoyed the wonderful views from every room in the house. The location is just minutes to town for shopping and restaurants and easy access for hiking and biking.

Owners Review
We are so thrilled to be the new owners of Rubywood and look forward to sharing it with you!!! We fell in love with Rubywood the moment we saw it and are so proud to now call it our mountain home. We hope you will come and visit the amazing town of Breckenridge and while doing so, enjoy the privacy that Rubywood offers. The unique architecture of the house makes it perfect for entertaining and creating many memories for friends and family! We absolutely love the outdoor living space with one of the most breathtaking views of the Breckenridge ski mountain that you can find, and the nighttime stars at 10,600 feet are absolutely incredible. Whether you come to enjoy the wonderful winter sports or the many summertime hiking and biking trails, we welcome you to our home and hope you enjoy it as much as we do, and we hope you return year after year!
