The Lodge sits high enough that the trees do not obscure the magnificent mountain views of Mosquito Gulch and with over 100 acres, Flamingo Acres offers the feeling of seclusion while less than 5 miles from the town of Alma and less than 22 miles from Breckenridge. Mosquito Gulch is home to a variety of wildlife and this spectacular location affords opportunities to observe elk, deer and foxes (just to name a few of the animals!) right on the property. Additionally, you may see moose in their natural habitat in the wetland area near the cabin.
The driveway is plowed in the winter and the roadways are maintained by the county, but FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLES ARE REQUIRED from November through May due to the frequent snow storms in this area.
Park County is an activity center of the Colorado Rocky Mountains, it's a great "Base Camp!" If you can think of an outdoor activity, you will probably find it within 10-20 minutes of the cabin. Activities include skiing, snowboarding, hiking, mountain climbing, snow-shoeing, horseback riding (winter too!), ice climbing, fishing, hunting, rafting, snowmobiling, 4-wheeling, mine exploration, canoeing, kayaking, and much much more. Whatever your favorite activities, you can be assured of a memorable and fun vacation when you stay at The Lodge at Flamingo Acres!
