Why the Owner Chose Tabernash

Joyce and I fell in love with Colorado many years ago. We spent several years looking for the perfect spot. We found the current location in the early 1980s and then proceeded to buy all the land we could afford. By 1997, we had aquired 70 acres and then started house construction. Improving the road, bringing in electricity, telephone, and building the house were epic tasks. You will enjoy the products of the effort.

The Unique Benefits at this House

The house overlooks Tabernash, so you do not feel isolated from civilization. Yet, you are on 70 private acres bordered by thousands of acres of national forest. Thus, you have a real sense of privacy. It is wonderful to hike, mountain bike, snowshoe, crosscountry ski, and fish in the Gold Medal Fraser Rive right out the door.

 

Owner's Map of Tabernash

Craglough House was built by Bill and Joyce Carpenter as their dream home. Joyce is a social worker in the Social Work Department at the University of South Florida. Bill is a professor and chairman of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. The house is modeled on Cragside, a Victorian mansion in Northern England. David Elfring, a renown archtect, captured the spirit of Cragside but with modern conveniences.

    • The Craglough is an amazing home! We enjoyed the beauty of the European decore as well as the breathtaking views that can be found off of all of the many decks. It comfortably slept 6 couples and had a gourmet kitchen is to die for. We are already planning our next trip!

    • My family and I stayed at Craglough House for Spring Break 2008. We had a lovely time exploring the wonderful surroundings in addition to skiing at the nearbye Winter Park (which was FANTASTIC). About a 20 minute drive to Winter Park, we liked the more secluded surroundings which enabled us to do other activities such as sledding and snow-shoeing without the crowds. The house itself is spacious and cozy at the same time, the furnishings being those of a casual mountain home, with some more formal touches. I stayed in the master suite on the top floor and loved the views and the cozy gas fireplace! I would recommend staying here if you have a larger group/family. I would however recommend having a 4 x 4 if you plan to be here in the winter months, the road leading to the house is cleared but can get icy. Finally, the owners and the on-site care-taker are very pleasant and accomodating. I highly recommend a stay here!
