Let’s be honest, most of us don’t need another vacation. We need a reset. A place to breathe. A place where time slows down and you stop checking your phone every five minutes.
That place? It’s called Cutie Cabin, and it’s tucked away in Alma, Colorado, just far enough from Breckenridge to escape the noise, close enough to chase the adventure.
This isn’t a brochure. This is your real-life “pause” button. So if you’re burnt out, feeling the pull of the mountains, or just want to wake up to silence and sunlight on snow, you’re in the right place.
Here’s your no-fluff, 3-day plan to unplug, recharge, and come back to yourself.
Day 1: Arrive + Exhale
Morning: The Drive Up
Whether you’re coming from Denver (about two hours away) or road-tripping from out of state, the drive to Alma is its own kind of therapy. Wind through the pine forests, roll past frozen rivers, and feel your stress fade with every mile.
Stop in Fairplay for groceries, grab coffee in Alma from The Black Kettle Coffee, or a local bite from Bristlecone Bake Shop before heading to your mountain home base.
Afternoon: Settle Into Cutie Cabin
When you arrive, you’ll instantly feel it….the cozy warmth of the living room, the wraparound deck views, and that deep quiet only the mountains can offer.
Drop your bags, take off your shoes, and pour yourself something warm. Explore the space:
Fully stocked kitchen with olive oil, spices, and the essentials.
Cozy living area with mountain views from every angle.
Hot tub, outdoor dining, corn hole, and Outdoor Fire-Pit.
Yoga mats and blocks for a slow stretch after your drive.
Evening: Hot Tub + Chill
As the sun dips behind the peaks, fire up the hot tub. The stars here don’t mess around…the night skies are clear, bright, and endless.
Order to-go from Casa Sanchez in Fairplay or cook an easy dinner in your cabin kitchen. Then curl up by the fire, play cards, or just be.

Day 2: Adventure + Après
Morning: Choose Your Adventure
You’re surrounded by some of Colorado’s most scenic spots, so today’s about fresh air and adventure.
Adventure options near Alma:
Hoosier Pass: Perfect for snowshoeing or scenic winter hikes (just 10 minutes away).
Breckenridge Ski Resort: 20 minutes from the cabin if you’re craving ski-town energy and après vibes.
Kite Lake Trailhead: For the more adventurous - snowshoe or hike for breathtaking alpine views.
If you prefer something slower, take a short drive into Fairplay’s historic downtown for antique shopping and small-town charm.
Afternoon: Mountain Town Après
After your adventure, it’s time to slow down.
Warm up with a Hot Chocolate from Clint’s Bakery in Breckenridge or have a crepe from Crepes A La Cart, a local favorite.
Stop by the Blue River Cafe for a local craft beer and a hearty lunch.
Evening: Cozy Cabin Vibes
Head back to Cutie Cabin, start a fire, and unwind. Dinner can be as simple as pasta and wine or tacos with a side of laughter.
Afterward, play board games, stargaze from the deck, or soak in the hot tub while snowflakes drift around you. This is the kind of peace you didn’t know you needed.
Day 3: Slow Mornings + Meaningful Goodbyes
Morning: Coffee, Calm, and Connection
Your last morning at Cutie Cabin deserves to be slow. Pour coffee, wrap yourself in a blanket, and watch the light crawl over the mountains.
Do a little morning yoga, journal, or simply sit in stillness. The magic of Alma is in its simplicity, how even quiet moments feel full.
Brunch Stop Before You Go
On your way out, stop back in Fairplay for a hearty breakfast at Mr. Burro Café or another round of coffee from Black Kettle Coffee
You’ll leave with that happy kind of tired, the kind that comes from being exactly where you were meant to be.
You’ve been saying you need a break. This is your sign to take it.
Book your stay at Cutie Cabin in Alma, Colorado - where the Wi-Fi is strong if you want it, and the silence is stronger if you don’t.
