The Angel guarding the Monte Cristo Creek & property has deep significance to the owners and is in loving memory of their loved one. Many guests enjoy this meditation/reflection area.

The owners are thrilled to welcome you to their home and happy to share Riffel's River Retreat, hoping it brings joy and peace to you and yours.

Creekside pet friendly home
5/5 stars
We enjoyed our stay very much. The home was well kept, clean, plenty of kitchen supplies for cooking. Beds were comfortable. Only a 15 min ride into downtown Breck made this a nice retreat from the crowds. We would come back.

What a place to stay - Riffle's Retreat
5/5 stars
Riffle's Retreat was so cool. Up the Blue River a bit but not too far. The place was well maintained and the hosts were very responsive to our needs. Could not recommend this place more!

Wedding Anniversary
4/5 stars
We had a great stay at Riffles’ River Retreat. The home is stocked well, clean and a beautiful setting. Was very easy to book. This is our second time in this particular house and we will definitely do it again. The only down side, was there were no instructions on how to work the TV. They have 3 remotes and it took us awhile to figure out how to operate.
- Amy

Thank you, Amy, for your wonderful review of Riffels' River Retreat. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the well-stocked and clean home, as well as the beautiful setting. It's fantastic to know that booking was easy and that you've chosen to stay with us again. We apologize for the confusion with the TV remotes and will ensure clearer instructions are provided for future guests. We look forward to welcoming you back for another great stay! - iTrip Breckenridge Team

Relaxing Stay
5/5 stars
We stayed at Riffel’s Retreat at the end of August and look forward to staying again. The entire property was clean, the rooms are large, the beds reasonably comfortable, the kitchen had every appliance we could want to make our meals, but best of all is the property itself. We spent so much time outside exploring. The creek is lovely, we found mushrooms of all types, I read for an entire afternoon in the wildflowers on the side of the house, and we hung a hammock between two of the trees and the children enjoyed that. Our check in and out was smooth and straightforward. After staying at four previous properties on other trips to Breckenridge over the years, this one is definitely our favorite. If you are going to do much laundry you will need to bring more detergent, they provide enough for one load, and next time I will bring a pair of slippers, they ask you not wear shoes in the house. Both of these are reasonable, not complaints, but I mention them to help others come prepared.
- Cale

Thank you, Cale, for your fantastic review of Riffels' River Retreat. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the clean and spacious property, as well as the beautiful outdoor surroundings. It's wonderful that you and your family had such a memorable time exploring the creek, discovering mushrooms, and relaxing in the wildflowers. We're glad the check-in and check-out process was smooth for you. Thank you for the helpful tips about laundry detergent and slippers; we appreciate your thoughtfulness in sharing these with future guests. We look forward to welcoming you back for another enjoyable stay! - iTrip Breckenridge Team

Great mountain get-a-way
5/5 stars
We really enjoyed our stay at the Riffels' Retreat! We spent the Thanksgiving holiday out in Breck and very much enjoyed our stay. It was spacious and comfy and just a few miles outside of downtown Breckenridge. We will most definitely look at staying again. Thanks!
- Mike
Wonderful House!
5/5 stars
Wonderful property! Very clean and spacious. Everything you need is here and the pictures just don’t do the property justice! Beautiful lot in the trees but an easy drive into Breck each morning. Snowed overnight and the driveway was cleared before we were up!

Spectacular Riverfront Home in Breckenridge
5/5 stars
This home was absolutely fabulous! The pictures do not do it justice. It was so spacious and plenty of room for our large family. Having two living areas, both with fireplaces, was an added bonus. The home is very well maintained and clean. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you could possibly need. It is easy to get to both Breckenridge & Keystone ski areas from the home. We would love to come back and stay again, especially in the summer to enjoy all the scenery around the house. Great place!!!
- Barbara
River Cabin
5/5 stars
We had a great time at the cabin by the river! What a unique setting to enjoy the outdoors. Loved the fire pit nestled in the pines next to the flowing river, such a cool experience. Definitely be back!

Breckenridge Retreat
5/5 stars
What a fabulous home! We stayed there with our kids and 2 grandchildren and the layout, space, location and amenities were perfect! The kitchen was complete with anything we'd need, including detergent, spices, cooking oil. There were so many comfortable spaces to work and relax, and the setting was magical! We can't wait to stay there again!

Beautiful relaxing girls trip
5/5 stars
Riffle’s Retreat is a wonderful home located just outside of Breckenridge. My sisters and I stayed for 10 days and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We have rented many houses in the past when traveling and have to say that this was one of our favorites. The house is beautiful and nicely furnished. The kitchen is very well equipped. The beds are extremely comfortable. It is set in a beautiful wooded location/neighborhood, with a babbling brook behind the house. My nieces and nephew visited us for a weekend and there was plenty of room for all of us as well as games and puzzles to keep the kids/adults entertained. We eagerly give this home a five star rating and highly recommend it for others!
- Sharon
Awesome Stay
5/5 stars
My husband and I came to celebrate our 32nd wedding anniversary. We loved the home and location. The area was quiet and private and being on the river was peaceful. We are planning on coming back with family.

Sneaux home away from home
5/5 stars
Not enough good things I could say about this cabin. This place was so comfortable, relaxing and inviting. This was our first “sneaux” vacation so we didn’t know what to expect but this cabin exceeded any expectations we had. Living in South Louisiana, we run our a/c year round. We were concerned there wasn’t a unit, so we just sleep with the windows open. There was plenty of room everywhere for our family of 4. We intend on returning with friends.
- Mikki
