IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A BRIGHT, CLEAN, HIGH QUALITY, COMFY AND LOVELY PLACE FOR YOUR FAMILY VACATION GET-AWAY, our home expresses all of these qualities. We have everything you'll need to make your stay perfect and just like home. We take pride in keeping our home in top notch condition!!
In addtion, WE ARE IDEALLY LOCATED NEAR TOWN BUT IN A PRIVATE WOODED AREA WITH LOVELY VIEWS.
Our 1400 square foot, bi-level townhouse, situated in the forest, is sunny, spacious, with beautiful architectural details, well built, and tastefully decorated.
CONVENIENTLY located to both Winter Park and Fraser, to several downhill ski areas, trails for cross country skiing and snowshoeing, dog sledding, sleigh rides,a great tubing hill, and BIKE TRAILS. A PARK which includes tennis courts, a playground, picnic areas, barbeque grills and a nature trail is less than a 5 minute walk from our town home. Safeway is a 5 minute drive. The local movie theater, video store, shopping and restaurants are a short walk from our home.
The UPSTAIRS LIVINGROOM is warm and inviting with vaulted ceiling, large moss rock gas fireplace, fully-equipped kitchen with skylight, large windows, breakfast bar and dining room with seating for eight, a south-facing sun porch with rocker, a spacious bedroom with french doors and full bath.
GROUND LEVEL includes the master bedroom with master bath and TV, private hot tub in a sunny room with huge windows and speakers for listening to music, a second bedroom and bath, washer/dryer, mud room at entry and ski closet just outside.
If one chooses to snuggle in rather than participating in one of the numerous outdoor activities, our home has 2 TVs, VCR/DVD player, CD/cassette player, tapes, reading materials, games, puzzles,and movies.
There is PARKING next to our building and a FREE shuttle bus which stops across street four times per hour in ski season. The bus circulates through the village of Winter Park and to the ski area. It's about a 10 minute bus ride to the ski area which has some of the best skiing in Colorado. If you enjoy snowshoeing and cross country skiing, you can access a trail right across the road.
For a unique and memorable activity, we recommend taking a dog sled ride through the forest which affords beautiful mountain views. This activity is a short distance from our town home.
In nearby Fraser(4-5 minutes from our home by car) be sure to check out the tubing hill. It's quite affordable and a blast for the whole family. The Snow Scoot is there as well; a scooter on skies.
If you are a BIKER, a paved bike path runs along the scenic Fraser River and ends at the ski area; the other direction takes you into Fraser and on into the countryside. It's a short ride to access this bike path from our place. We are 4 miles from the ski area by bike via the spectular Fraser River Trail.
Rocky Mountain National Park is 45 minutes north as well as three lakes where one may enjoy a variety of water sports. Also, 45 minutes away is Hot Sulpher Springs, famous for its natural hot springs and river rafting.

Why the Owner Chose Kings Crossing
We enjoy skiing, hiking and golfing. Winter Park has it all in addition to gorgeous scenery.
It's a charming community in which to visit. We also enjoy visiting Rocky Mountain National Park which is about 45 minutes away.
The Unique Benefits at this Townhouse
Our home is in a lovely wooded area but near enough to town to walk or to catch the bike trail nearby. We have a nature trail and park just up the street. Occasionally a moose will wander by our property as well. Our complex consists of only 20 units so it's a friendly place to spend time since we know many of our neighbors.
We also like the fact that we can catch the free shuttle bus to the ski area and we're there in a jiffy!
My husband loves watching the trains roll by our place since he's such a train nut. Of course our private indoor hottub is somethng we love soaking in after a day of skiing.
Owner's Map of Kings Crossing
My husband retired from the Union Pacific railroad where he was in charge of the Moffat Tunnel ventilation plant at Winter Park, Co. He's a real rail fan as well and has built a model train layout at our home in the Denver area.
I'm a retired elementary school teacher who keeps busy with many volunteer activities.
We also enjoy all types of skiing which is the reason we bought our townhome in Winter Park. We think it's one of the best ski areas in the country.
We also enjoy traveling, golf and other outdoor activities.
Since we both like to read, we have provided good reading lights for our townhome guests.

Jennifer, I wanted to thank you for opening up your condo to us - it was absolutely beautiful! The location was perfect to get to the surrounding towns and activities easy, and you have decorated it so wonderfully! Very comfortable! We had a great time up there - I think we did every single activity that was available! The kids are just old enough now to enjoy the horsebackriding, rafting, canoeing, hiking and the sort. They loved it. We would get back to the condo each night around 8:00, and just go right to bed! It was fabulous! Again, thanks, and you have a wonderful place!

Jennifer, We had a lovely time in your condo, and ALL agreed that we would love to stay there again sometime. We usually don’t go to the same place twice in a row though, so maybe in a couple of years. We will definitely consider your place.
