This beautiful mountain home is luxury in a rustic mountain setting. The home is situated on a large wooded lot giving you the peace and tranquility you are looking for in a mountain getaway. Yet, the home is just minutes away from world class downhill skiing, cross country skiing, and snowmobiling in winter and mountain biking, hiking, and fishing in summer.
The kitchen is fully equipped to enable you to create wonderful meals for all your guests. There is a full kitchen including a full size refrigerator/freezer, dishwasher, microwave, and gas range and stove. We have included all the things that we find valuable in a home kitchen and have tried to have it available in our mountain home. As an example, we have included a coffee grinder alongside the coffee maker. There are also plenty of dishes and utensils for two meals so one set can be in the dishwasher while you have enough extra for use on your next meal. We have included high quality pots and pans as well as additional small appliances that you would not normally have available in a rental home. These would include a rice cooker, a crock pot, waffle maker, and even an electric griddle! We also have a tablecloth and cloth napkins for special occasions and meals. Creating a huge meal like a thanksgiving meal with all the fixings is not a problem at our home!
The home has all the entertainment amenities that you want. Both living areas feature High Definition TVs with an HD signal from Direct TV. The Direct TV Channels include premium channels like HBO and Cinemax as well as satellite radio signals for music. Both entertainment systems include home theater speaker systems. We include a collection of DVD movies that are available for your use.
Additionally, we have an X-Box entertainment system for the kids. We also have a small collection of X-Box games for use. We have many board games and books for the kids as well. For the adults, we have a Poker game table that we have equipped with poker chips - so no need to bring your own.
Other amenities include free local and long distance as well as high speed internet with WiFi connection. You will need to bring a laptop with you to access the internet.
We have an outdoor hot tub that has a heated walkway. No need to trample through ice and snow! It is so wonderful to sit in the hot tub after a day spent in the outdoors and enjoy the stars.
We provide plush bath towels as well as extra towels for the hot tub. We include high quality soaps and detergents as well as paper products to get you started. You may even have enough for your entire stay! We have a new large capacity front loading washer and dryer for your use.
The home is heated through radiant floor heating which feels great when walking barefoot through the home on those winter days or when getting out of the shower and stepping on the warm floor tiles!
We also have a heated oversized garage with plenty of room for your ski equipment and mountain bikes. The 0.67 acre lot allows for lots of room for snowball fights and for making snowmen. It also has an excellent open area for a gentle but thrilling 150 ft. sled ride. The kids seem to love spending their extra time playing outside even after a hard day of skiing.
Sleeps 12 to 14 people comfortably. Master bedroom has a king bed, second bedroom has a queen bed, and third bedroom has a queen bed. The fourth bedroom has two double/twin bunks which is great for all the kids! Additionally, there is a full size sofa sleeper in the lower level recreation room.
Get ready to create some wonderful memories here in Winter Park and at our beautiful mountain home! We would love to be able to accommodate your group for your upcoming Rocky Mountain vacation.

My colleagues and I (all business professionals) have been making an annual ski trip to the Winter Park/Fraser area for the last 6-7 years. We usually stay at a private home in the Fraser area for 7-8 days. However, the Carabou Mountian home was the nicest and most well equipped home we have ever stayed in. We were all very pleased with the decor, comfort and warmth the home provided throughout our week long stay. The kitchen was the most well-equipped we have ever seen at any other residence we have frequented in the area. The home was extremely clean, conveniently located, and easily accessible. The owner was always prompt with his responsiveness regarding payment, expectations of the rental agreement, and questions concerning certain features of the home, even after our arrival. The New Hong Kong Chinese Restaruant in Winter Park is outstanding and has some of the best Chinese cuisine I have ever experienced. I would definitely highly reccommend this property to anyone who is looking for "all the comforts of home" combined with simplistic luxury during their vacation stay in the Winter Park/Fraser area. This home was oustanding and I look forward to our trip and staying at this home again next year. This home was even more beautiful in person than the website portrayed. You certainly won't be disappointed!!
Owner response:Billy, Thank you for your kind comments. I am glad that you enjoyed the extra touches we have provided in order to make your stay as comfortable as possible. We would be more than happy to accommodate you next year! Art

Perfect mountain retreat

My family and I were extremely impressed by this gorgeous mountain home! We came to the mountains for some sanctuary and to do some skiing and snowboarding. The house is literally 10 minutes from Winter Park and only minutes from restaurants, Safeway and a tubing hill! The welcome packet was detailed and accurate. We were greeted by a cheery bottle of champagne and a personalized note from the owners! The pictures, layout and amenities were just as described on VRBO. The kitchen was fully stocked with all our cooking needs. Everything was neatly organized so we knew where to replace dishes, pots and pans and blankets. The owners were extremely gracious and generous! We couldn't have been happier with our choice of properties and we look forward to visiting again!
Owner response:Thank you Stacie. I'm so glad that you and your family had a good time over Colten's birthday. Glad to have you back any time.

Awesome week-long Ski/snowboarding vacation
Guest: RamoneB
(Cleveland, OH)
Date of Stay: 02/17/11
Review Submitted: 02/28/11
This was absolutely one of the best vacation homes I have had the privilege to stay in. I planed a couples trip with some friends/colleagues, medical professionals, and had a great time. The view of the mountains from the front deck is AMAZING!!! Also, the hot tub was a clutch bonus after long days of skiing/snowboarding. The kitchen was well stocked with anything you would need for cooking and organized for ease of use. The heated floors throughout were also a plus during the cold months. We enjoyed our stay so much that we discussed returning the next year. A word of advice for anyone planning to stay in this home during the winter months is to rent a 4x4 vehicle. The snow in the area around this home is pretty tricky to navigate without 4WD.

We were very pleased with the cabin in Fraser, CO. It was decorated beautifully for Christmas and they made sure we had extra playpens for the little ones to sleep in and a baby gate for the stairs. The cabin was beautiful! We could have just spent everyday at the cabin playing in the snow and sledding, but we had to explore the towns too. The owners are very friendly and made us feel right at home. Thank you for a wonderful Christmas experience.
Owner response:We are happy to be able to provide a comfortable home for your vacation and allow you to be able to enjoy our Rocky Mountain environment. We hope that you will be able to spend your next winter vacation with us again! Thank you for being such exemplary guests.

A Great Family Experience

My family of six (four kids under the age of 8) stayed at the Caribou home in Fraser for 2 weeks and loved it. It is very close to the YMCA of the Rockies (20 minutes), which is a great place for family activities. It is also about 15 minutes from downtown Winter Park, which is also fun, albeit pricier. The home itself is well-appointed and beautifully finished, with a kitchen that has every gadget you could possibly want. It also has a wonderful game closet and entertainment center for family movie nights. Also, the grocery store is only 5 minutes away, even though the home is up the mountain in the woods. A great find!

Review Submitted: 04/12/10
We stayed 3 nights over Spring Break. The kids stayed in the bunk room downstairs and loved having their own space to play games and watch movies after a full day of skiing at Winter Park. The open kitchen/living area floor plan is great for the adults to relax with a glass of wine and take turns cooking an easy dinner. The kitchen is very well equipped and organized! Having a hot tub right out the door was a nice luxury too. This is probably the best VRBO property I have rented!
