Activities

Being only two blocks from Main Street means you can walk to the restaurants, shops, festivals and nightspots. Catch the year round FREE shuttle bus from our front door to the ice rink and recreation center with rock climbing wall, leisure pool, lap pool, sauna, indoor and outdoor tennis courts, skateboard park and more. Explore the mountains from a near-by hiking trail or on the bike park that parallels the river as it winds down the valley. Take time out fishing, horse back riding, white water rafting or riding the alpine slide. Golf at the Breckenridge Golf Club, a Jack Nicklaus designed, four star public golf course. Enjoy the historic town of Breckenridge on foot or by horse drawn carriage. And of course in the winter you can downhill ski, snowboard, snow shoe or cross country in the beautiful Summit County. So whether you wish to enjoy lazy days or be busy every minute, Fireside Inn offers you both.

SUMMER

Fishing
Golfing	The Breckenridge Golf Club is owned and operated by the Town of Breckenridge and has the distinction of being the only municipally owned Jack Nicklaus - designed course in the World. The mountain terrain includes streams, beaver ponds, native grasses, sage brush and natural wetlands. - True Rocky Mountain Splendor! The Fireside Inn is able to book tee times in advance for guests on golf packages. A golf package requires a multiple night stay at the Inn. The Breckenridge Golf Club allows us to book golf packages using the guest's credit card to guarantee the payment for tee times.
