Welcome to Paradise. Highland Heaven is located in the prestigious Jack Nicklaus Golf and Ski neighborhood of The Highlands—one of Colorado's best kept secrets in the backcountry of Breckenridge—Highland Heaven is the perfect destination for couples and families desiring a beautiful retreat just minutes away from an array of outdoor activities.

Highland Heaven is a stunning mountain vacation home that features nearly 4000 square feet of luxury living space with high-end finishes throughout on an acre of gorgeous wooded property.

It combines amazing scenery with relaxed luxury and comfort, making it the ideal setting for your next Breckenridge vacation.

The main level features a beautiful great room with an open layout, 20-foot vaulted ceilings, large windows to bring in the breathtaking outdoor views and natural light, a huge gas stone fireplace, a mounted flatscreen TV, and plenty of room for relaxing and socializing. Adjacent to the great room is a fully-equipped gourmet kitchen that includes extra-large stainless steel appliances and stunning granite countertops. Serving meals for large groups is easy with ample seating for 17 guests: a beautiful 10-person dining room table, 3 seats at the bar, and a cozy high-top table nearby that seats an additional 4 people. You’ll also love escaping to the expansive deck where you can stargaze, soak in the amazing hot tub, or enjoy a relaxing drink while breathing in the crisp mountain air.

On the same floor, there is a second bedroom that includes a queen size bed, a private bath, travertine tile, and breathtaking 10-foot, east-facing windows. All bathrooms have in-floor radiant heating.



Downstairs, there is a den with comfortable couches and chairs, a gas fireplace, and a large flat screen TV for ultimate entertainment. This level includes two spacious bedrooms, one with a queen size bed, and the other a queen size bed and two twin beds. Both bedrooms have their own private baths and storage.

Response:Terry and her family might be better suited for a Hotel. Several things broken. Carpet had to be cleaned. Hot tub was brown. Not a good fit for a private home.

Wonderful stay at Highland Heaven
Highland Heaven was superbly furnished and equipped and provided sufficient space for our multi-generational family of ten. The adults enjoyed the cooking/dining space and the relaxing views from each window and the grandkids enjoyed walking the wooded lot and playroom in the lower level. As experience travelers, this home ranks as one of our best. Our thanks to Kathy and Bill!

Peaceful retreat
The house was perfect for our large family gathering (age range 6 months to 88 years). We had plenty of space and the house had more supplies and amenities available than any house I have ever rented. We all loved sitting on the deck and watching the birds (especially the hummingbirds). We also saw red fox, deer and a coyote. The owner is pleasant and very responsive. The location was a quick drive to town but far enough away to enjoy peace & quiet in a beautiful surrounding. I highly recommend this property!

Owner
Bill and Kathy Handley knew early in their marriage that they both shared a love for Colorado. Although they have made Florida their year-round home, they always looked forward to visiting Colorado several times each year during their 32 years of marriage. They loved to ski, snowmobile, and snowshoe with their daughters in the winters. During the summers, they enjoyed incredible hikes with wildflowers and mountains galore, biking around Lake Dillon, whitewater rafting, and going on day trips to nearby towns. Bill and Kathy had a dream to eventually own a home in Breckenridge, their favorite place in Colorado. That dream became a reality a few years ago, when they were able to purchase Alpine Paradise, a beautiful two-bedroom condo located in the heart of Breckenridge. Their trips became even more frequent and they started renting the condo when they were not using it. Call us at 813-685-7272 or go to www.breckheaven.com for rental information.
