Fireside Inn in Breckenridge, Colorado is located in a pleasant neighborhood of businesses and residences. Just two short blocks from Breckenridge's main street, the house sits on a corner and the entrance to the hostel is located at the side of the building. Clear signage leads one easily to the center of the house where the office is located. A jolly, friendly Englishman owns and runs this facility.
The spacious common area offers overstuffed furniture, a wood-burning fireplace and typical mountain cabin style decor. Real homey in feel! Breakfast, which is included in the price, is served on a long, harvest style table. Guests may store food stuff in a refrigerator. A microwave serves as the only means of cooking for guests. E-mail can be checked on a computer with broadband internet connections and those carrying laptops with wireless devices can also connect in this area.
All sleeping rooms are very small. In one room there are four bunk beds built into the walls. Privacy curtains similar to sleeper railway cars add a nice unexpected touch. Other sleeping rooms have either two bunk beds or one large bed for couples. Lockers are provided in each room and pad locks hang on hooks in the hallway for guests use.
Breckenridge is a 147 year old real Victorian town in the heart of the Colorado Rockies. A year-round premier resort destination, Breckenridge offers an incredible selection of activities. For the hostel traveler, Fireside Inn provides a homey, pleasant, clean, affordable place to stay in a pricey part of the world. And, everything is within easy walking distance or can be reached easily by the public transport system of buses designed to look like old-fashioned trolley cars.
