Fraser, Colorado
Come enjoy the Colorado dream in our unique mountain home...
We only rent a few short weeks every year when we are vacationing elsewhere. Otherwise, this is our second home and we keep it to ourselves!
We have appointed this unit with all of the comforts we expect from our own home. If you are lucky enough to be able to travel when we have an opening, you will quickly see why we spend nearly every weekend here.
We are located in the Rendezvous development overlooking the Town of Winter Park. It is a ten minute walk into town in the summer and a two minute drive in the winter. We are located four miles from Winter Park ski resort and a 15 minute drive from Devil’s Thumb Resort (see our list of recommended attractions to learn why this should not be missed).
As soon as you pull up to the unit, you will enjoy the advantages of one of Winter Park’s most desirable locations. Our unit is perched on a hillside overlooking the town of Winter Park with stunning views of the ski resort, Byers Peak and the Continental Divide. Sunlight from the south and west facing windows make this until exceptionally bright and airy. We border undeveloped land so the privacy is unparalleled.
We have three bedrooms with three full baths and an additional half bath. No waiting for anyone in the morning. A large master suite with a king bed is on the main level. Below, a queen suite bedroom for another couple and a third bedroom with twin bunk beds for two kids make this unit ideal for two couples or large families. The lower level also has a second living area, with a sleeper sofa, where the kids can enjoy their own space (and t.v.) separate from the adults. You will appreciate this more than probably anything else.
Unlike a regular Winter Park condo, you will be able to use our garage to keep your car warm and snow free at night. You will be able to keep your skis and bikes secure in the garage rather than have to leave them on your car. In the morning, you can drive to the resort or walk two minutes to the Winter Park Red Line shuttle stop which offers a 20-minute ride to and from the mountain every half hour. Outstanding mountain bike, snow shoe and cross-country ski trails begin right outside of our front door. Seriously.
As soon as you are inside, you will notice that our home is a notch above. High end finishes and furnishings abound throughout the unit. Each bed has a memory foam mattress to make the night’s sleep easy after a hard day on the slopes or trails. We have a large hot tub where you can enjoy the sunset views or the lights of the town below.
Our kitchen is well-appointed with a gas range and high-quality cookware. We are fanatical cooks and leave the pantry stocked with the essentials such as oils and spices that we usually have to buy at the store when we rent a private home on vacation. Cooks will especially appreciate our sharp knives so you can actually cut a tomato at our house.
Our unit is perfect for up to six people. We can accommodate eight; however, be aware that this can be difficult with hot water. We do not allow groups larger than eight persons. Sorry, we cannot accommodate groups with pets or smokers either.
Please Note: As this is our second home, it is very special to us and we expect guests to treat our home as we do. We have only let our friends and co-workers enjoy this unit over the last few years. We have rented our other Winter Park condo to guests on VRBO with great results, but we have learned that sometimes people run wild while on vacation. If this sounds like how you like to roll, please look elsewhere. Our rugs and furnishings are too dang expensive to trust to knuckleheads.
Any party violating the maximum occupancy or any of the rules of this unit will have their deposit forfeited. I am a lawyer so trust me. We are a strict non-smoking unit. We do not book college spring break groups at all. Sorry, glitter and beer are a bad combination. Our neighbors live here year-round and we want to respect their peace and quiet by renting to respectful groups only. They will let us know if there are any problems.
Tremendous experience at this location! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Winter Park mainly due to the excellent accommodations afforded with this property. The owners have spared no expense outfitting their condominium with every amenity possible. From the 2 car garage to the well equipped kitchen, 2 living areas, deck, grill, spa, spacious bathrooms, closets, up to date electronics and well stocked washer and dryer utility room, no detail has been overlooked. Anything you currently enjoy in your own home can be experienced in this property. Owners have also been generous in the thoughtfulness of providing winter time resources necessary to facilitate a great cold weather vacation. Cannot overstate how much we enjoyed our stay at this property...
Fabulous home! Great location it was easy to find. The check in process was easy. The owner let us know if we need anything he was available. Loved the keyless entry, didn’t have to keep up with keys. The place was spotless and well stocked. The extra care that was taken, by the children leaving us a welcoming note was a lovely touch. Everything was perfect, we felt right at home. Would recommend to anyone!!
We were unable to arrive the day we were supposed to, due to weather. When I contacted the owner, he was more than understanding. They let us stay an extra day on the back end of our trip. The condo was great, with pleanty of supplies in the kitchen. Very clean and comfortable. We will be back.
