Where To Stay In Breckenridge On A Budget
Where To Stay In Breckenridge On A Budget.
Colorado is home to a number of pricey ski towns where you can stay in luxurious lodges for a hefty price. But if you’re looking to do Breckenridge on a budget, I can’t recommend The Bivvi Hostel highly enough.
We pulled into Breckenridge mid-day with no plans and managed to snag 2 beds at the hostel for just $39 each. The next available accommodation would have been around $200. Trust me when I say, this place is a steal.
The Bivvi Hostel
The Bivvi Hostel truly is the best place to stay in Breckenridge on a budget. You’ll really feel like you’re getting your bang for your buck when you’re sitting in the hot tub watching the sunset over the mountains.
Grill Out
On the scenic porch, you’ll find a grill available for your use. When we arrived, there was a bunch of friendly hikers grilling out and offering everyone food. So of course, we joined in on the fun!
Hot Tub
The real star of The Bivvi is the well placed hot tub on the back porch that is prime for stargazing, sunset and general mountain views.
Chat With Thru Hikers
When we stayed, we found the majority of the travelers were making the long trek along the Colorado Trail or were long-term nomads. As we sat around the fire and gazed at the stars in the hot tub, our fellow travelers regaled us with tales of their adventures on the road. Several were at least one week into their month long hiking journey.
Take Advantage Of Happy Hour
There is a small bar at reception and during happy hour you can get draft beers for $2-$4. We ended up having so much fun at The Bivvi we never even went into downtown Breckenridge on our first night.
Play Board Games By The Fireplace
Grab a blanket and curl up by the fireplace. The Bivvi has a variety of board games you can play. Clue is my personal favorite!
Walk Into Downtown Breckenridge
Another huge perk? The Bivvi is located just a short walk from downtown Breckenridge. So you won’t have to worry about finding parking in town. Leave your car at The Bivvi and go explore the charming mountain town by foot!
Enjoy Breakfast And Coffee From The Porch
Your stay also includes breakfast so I recommend heading out to the porch to watch the morning light spill over the mountains as you sip your coffee.

Shared or Private Rooms
We opted to book two beds in a shared room and we were extremely pleased. The rooms were very clean, comfortable and had great bathrooms.
The only other person is our room was a friendly thru-hiker who was making his way down the Colorado Trail.
