Honeymoon Help in Colorado!!!!

As the title suggests, I have recently got married and both my wife and I are mad keen skiers so the honeymoon of choice is going to be in Colorado. We have looked at Copper Mountain and Breckenridge and we'd be very grateful for any help you may be able to offer regarding these two resorts.
We are looking to find chalet/ log cabin accommodation with fireplace, hot tub etc. All the usual romantic trimmings! We want to rent from the 10th December for two weeks, so if anyone has any bright ideas I'd really appreciate it. If you know of anyone that rents this type of accommodation please let me know or have family that is looking to rent, that'd be great.
I am based in Italy with my wife but she is originally from the US - we'll be stopping off at her folks before in Indianapolis and then getting in the car and driving to Colorado...should be quite a trip.
Thanks for your help in advance.
Laters,
HH

to be honest, I doubt most of NS has ever even booked their own hotel.
I would search online. Just google search. You'll get better answers thru them than you will on NS.

Really this is the wrong place to be asking that, everyone on this site (excluding a few including me) are under 18 and will give you shit suggestions. I would say Copper personally because its got a dope base area with rooms/suits but also breck has its own little town that might be what you're looking for. I suggest you contact a travel agent, they can help you much more than we can.

Thanks for the help...I have started checking online, could you recommend any travel agents in the US?
Cheers

Breck is a cool town and a HUGE resort. Never skied Copper, but I haven't really heard things about it good/bad.

Two things...
1) What in your right mind was thinking about getting "honeymoon" advice of any kind from Newschoolers. Most people on the site can't even spell "honeymoon"...hell, they can't spell "sponsored".
2) I would recommend Breckenridge if you want the large resort feel, if not though....Crested Butte. Great skiing around mid-January, and hardly anyone on the mountain. Plus, out of the way from all the yuppy Denverites.

To be honest, if it were my honeymoon, I would want it to be super nice.
Look in the Aspen Area. Lots of lodging at snowmass, it is more affordable than aspen, but you can also chill in aspen, which is a pretty nice place.
Honestly....copper as a town sucks. Mountain is fun, but the base area is just that...a base area. not really a town.
Breck is ok, but again, not somewhere I would want to go for my honeymoon.
Beaver Creek, Vail, Aspen, Snowmass, all would be more romantic and IMO all have better skiing too.

could also ask over at tetongravity. its a much older crowd there and as long as you are polite, as you have already shown in your post, you should get some legit answers.

if you have the money to do it, then try aspen kinda pricey but wel worth with lots to do at night and lots of amazing places to eat.
expedia.com might help you

check out Telluride as well! Kind of away from everything, but its pretty rad down there, plus ouray is a few miles away and there hot springs and stuff, and you dont have to deal w/ much of a crowd.

Look into Beaver Creek, it's near Vail. That place is really nice. A lot of good place to eat and shop with awesome skiing (not the best in Colorado but is still pretty awesome) It's a great place I think. There is a pond that you can go ice skating on right in the center of the village.

ya i know that guys page, hes a nice cynic asshole, but he makes one point if you read between the lines... BUYER BEWARE!!!!
so maybe dont use orbitz... ive never had a problem, but i usually dont take the cheapest flight. Too many stopovers and you usually get sat next to some fat lady who blames you for stinking up the plane when one of her folds expels horrible fat stink. yuck! Its a simple matter of logic, if you land somewhere 40 miles away from an airport where your plane leaves 20 minutes later... youre problee getting hosed.
just saying. its not orbitz' fault that this moron who hates everything and everybody doesnt know how to use his better judgement.

More like Orbitz suggested and billed a flightplan and schedule that is completely impossible to make conecting flights under the current laws of physics and time, and then refused to offer a refund when confronted about it.
That's a shitty business.
