Nov 14 to Nov 21 (Sat–Sat), a week after Breckenridge's planned Nov 6 opening day, in a studio suite at Grand Timber Lodge on Snowflake Drive in Breckenridge: the timeshare owner on TUG cut the studio again to $235 for the week (reply of Nov 11; the 1-bedroom sold Nov 2). Adding taxes and fees we estimate at about $54 (the owner hasn't said whether they're included) makes roughly $289, about $41 a night. For the same dates the lodge's own site charged $1,603 for a Studio Residence when we checked on Oct 27.

Why it's this cheap

An owner holding an early-season week they can't use has cut the studio from $625 to $325 to rent it before check-in; mid-November is the quiet stretch between opening day and the holiday crowds.
