Breckenridge Fall Colors!
Visit Breckenridge! Gorgeous Fall Colors!
View Breckenridge Slideshow
If you're not a skier, Fall is a Great time to visit Breckenridge!
The town is easy to navigate with Free Shuttles or just Walking.
First stop by the Visitor Center along Main Street and the River Walk, the Blue River goes right thru the middle of town.
We spent an afternoon hiking along the Burro Trail--the next day we drove over to the Frisco Marina for a walk along the bike path (the entire loop is 26 miles around the Dillon Resevoir). Another very scenic day trip is a loop drive over Boreas Pass Road--stopping at Bakers Tank, the Continental Divide, then the Como Depo for Lunch, following Hwy 285 to Fairplay and Alma & back to Breckenridge.
Clint's, Cool River, Michaels Italian Restaurant, and Motherloaded are all very good & moderately priced.---Cindy Ostrowski

Successful Vacation Rentals
In the eleven years I have been advertising online vacation rentals I have discovered a simple but often forgotten formula that separates successful private owner advertising from mediocre online ads; and it’s free. Stage your home for digital photos. Your homes greatest potential lies in its appeal to shoppers. Take the time to stage your home. Print this list and bring it with you. Many times I have told folks not to forget how important the items below are to their advertising, but with so many other important things to do as well that I have regretted not having the list below with me when I photographed my own vacation rental.
Take your photos in the late afternoon, or very early evening before the sun sets.
Turn on all the lights, this is an easy one to forget, but remains one of the most important aspects of advertising online photos. All those recessed lights, bedside lamps, candle lights; every single light in your home can help create an inviting, warm ambience when digitally photographed.
Turn on the amenities. Turn on the TV and find appropriate channels, Disney is good. Take the lid off of the spa, and turn it on, lights, jets even staging with some people is fine, but not necessary, as most shoppers like to picture themselves in the photo! Light the fireplace and set the table, candlelight is a nice touch.
Example: Big Sky Vacation Rental
4. Keep your lights on and after the inside photos have been taken; take exterior photos with all the lights still on before it gets too dark.
You don’t need to be a professional photographer, just pretend you are doing a photo shoot for a magazine and your assignment is to show your home to its full potential. Your home will always look better in person then in photos, so do your best to make it shine!
