My family and I recently rented a home in Breckenridge for a winter ski vacation and had a fabulous time. The home was as advertised, in impeccable shape and clean as well as stocked with various sundries. Renting with Moving Mountains is like staying at a high-end hotel, such as the Four Seasons, as you have a concierge that can obtain ski tickets for you and arrange other activities such dog sledding or snowmobiling as well as chef dinners. Most importantly, they employ a fleet of five 13-passenger vans that you can call up with an app. This is better than Uber! We never had to wait for more than a few minutes for a van to take to/from the slopes or into town. We also had a mid-week cleaning service, which was a nice touch. Overall my family of 12, including adult children and grandchildren, had an extremely enjoyable vacation. Many thanks to Moving Mountains for going the extra mile to make this a truly memorable trip. We will be looking to rent again!

Mountain Bear Lodge
Where do I start?! I cannot say enough praise about the entire Moving Mountains staff. From the moment we booked the Black Bear Chalet, we were in direct communication with an actual human at MM. (No automated messages or bots!)
We were a group of 10 visiting Steamboat Springs for a winter wonderland getaway coming from Los Angeles, Scottsdale, San Diego, Sacramento, Austin and Denver. I’m a bit of a control freak (lol) so I took the reins when it came to planning the 5 days we were there. In reality, I didn’t need to plan anything as MM had it all covered. They provide you with a simple login to their portal which included EVERY little bit of information we needed for an enjoyable stay.
The first person I was in contact with was Mallory — a true gem! She was more than helpful providing information about all the things Steamboat. She arranged for all of our lift passes to be at the house upon arrival and also had all of our gear (skis, snowboards, helmets, poles, etc…) delivered to the house. That created such a relaxed arrival for all of us after a long day of traveling! All we had to do was show up — the best!
Another AMAZING service MM offered us was the complimentary shuttle for all of Steamboat. It truly was as easy as can be. Open the app and then request or schedule a ride. All of the drivers were very kind and enjoyable to ride with. They don’t require gratuities, but they each offered a QR code to pay via Venmo if you chose to - which we did because they deserved tips. Being a group of 10, it was so easy to not have to worry about who was driving the rental cars or where we were going to park. It was also so nice to be dropped off right at the lifts — again no hassle.
The Black Bear Chalet itself was VERY clean and VERY well maintained. It was fully stocked with all things kitchen related, plenty of sheets and extra bedding, Mrs. Meyers dish and laundry soap, board games, etc. Probably the best part of the home was the elevator — for those of us staying on the 3rd floor, it made the luggage transport a breeze! There was also a heated boot rack which was dreamy. (It sucks putting your feet into cold, wet boots. Lol)
As mentioned, we were all coming in from different cities and all had different arrival/departure times. MM was able to accommodate for an early arrival and a late check out. So nice!!
I will 10000% be staying at another Moving Mountains property in the future. We truly had such an amazing stay. The ONLY thing I would change would be to book directly through the MM website. I found the house on VRBO and booked through there (not realizing it was managed by MM) and was charged extra booking fees — not by Moving Mountains but by VRBO. All in all, 10 out of 10 stars! THANK YOU again to all of the Steamboat Springs Moving Mountains staff…. especially Mallory, Hannah, Stephanie, Jill, Kameron, Diana, Doug, Eric, Brenton and anyone else I may have missed. You guys are rockstars!!

Black Bear Chalet
Our stay at Monarch was absolutely amazing from beginning to end. The guest services team at Moving Mountains was incredible and made our trip even more enjoyable than anticipated. If you’re looking for a great house for a larger group or family, look no further than this property.

Monarch Retreat
The perfect house! We were all just so impressed with this beautiful home. The property managers were on point every step of the way and so informative, helpful and always responsive anytime we had questions.
The home was in a great location just outside of Breckenridge and having the shuttle available anytime we needed to get into town was AMAZING! We rented a jeep at the airport but really didn’t even need it once we got to the house. Booking the shuttle on the app was simple and the drivers were very friendly, helpful and informative as we were first timers to the area. They took us to the grocery store, ski lifts and downtown to shop. Such a great asset to staying here.
The house had everything we needed for a large family. Every family had their own bedroom and bathroom which was great! We had all the amenities that we needed like fans, humidifiers and LOVED the little play area for our granddaughters. They plowed the road and driveway everyday. The hot tub was amazing to sit in while watching it snow. And it snowed A LOT while we were there. Just absolutely beautiful!! I can't say enough about how amazing our experience with our lodging was.
I would give 10 stars if I could. We would love to come back here one day! Thank you for providing an amazing experience for our family!
