Location: Private Homes, Winter Park, Winter Park Area, Northwest, Colorado, USA (67 miles from Denver; actually in city of Winter Park!) View Map
Accommodations: House, 4 Bedrooms + Loft, 3 Baths (Sleeps 10-16)
Close to the ski area, our house is located in the Town of Winter Park (not in neighboring cities with subdivision names containing Winter Park). The house is at the end of a dead-end street, where the forest begins. No neighbors on one side of us - just the Arapaho National Forest! Quiet location, far from busy roads and traffic.
From the end of our driveway, you can begin on forest trails made for hiking, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing (6 pairs for your use), and bicycling. You can take a trail beginning at our driveway and travel to the Winter Park ski resort (downhill to us from the ski resort). Otherwise, the ski shuttle comes a few doors away and will take you for FREE to the ski resort which is a five-minute ride. You can walk to downtown Winter Park and free ice skating (we have 32 pairs of skates) in under thirteen minutes.
You will be cozy at night underneath flannel sheets in each of the four bedrooms and a loft. The large master bedroom has a king-size bed (and adjoining bath with jacuzzi two person tub), one bedroom has two bunk beds with a full bed on the bottom of each, two bedrooms have queen-size beds (one of these rooms has a futon, too). Our loft has a queen-size sleeper, TV and glider chair. The living room has a sage green Lazy Boy queen-size sleeper with a built-in air mattress (comfortable!).
Our kitchen was just remodeled with granite countertops, new cupboards, and new appliances. We have pots, pans, and dishes just like you have at home. There is cable TV with DVD, and plenty of board games for family and friends' fun time.
If you want to be one second (literally) from the forest where you can take off on your snow shoes (we have some for you to use) or cross-country skis for a peaceful trek, and a place which is quiet with little road traffic, contact us. Since we have allergies, our place is smoke and pet free.

Map & Owner's Profile
4BR House-City of Winter Park- Next to National Forest Trails!
Year Purchased: 2004
Why the Owner Chose Private Homes
We searched for a second home in the City of Winter Park rather than in a nearby town because we wanted to be close to the ski area. This home is at the end of a street where the forest begins, and there are no neighbors on that side. You can step out the front door and within 5 seconds be in the Arapaho National Forest - the site of the Winter Park Ski Resort. You can even hike or cross country ski to the ski resort. You can downhill ski back from the resort. This home was a perfect choice because it is away from the highway and train which pass through town, yet within the city limits. There is a stream within a five minute hike into the forest.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Quiet, yet close to the ski area. You can look out off the deck while grilling on the natural gas grill, and peer into the forest where elk, moose, deer and fox are regularly seen. You can mountain bike on hundreds of miles of interconnected trails beginning at the base of our driveway. You can also walk to the outdoor ice skate rink and sit at the fire pit while the children skate. We have 36 pairs of skates and six pairs of snow shoes for your free use.
You can hike, bike or cross country ski to the resort from our house on a dirt road/trail. In Winter, you can downhill ski from the resort back to our house.
We have 36 pairs of skates for you to ice skate for free. There is an outdoor firepit next to the rink to sit and keep warm while the skaters show off their talent. This is a 15 minute walk or a few
A variety of top notch restaurants and shops are within a 15 minute walking distance
The shuttle runs all winter and will take you to the ski resort, to town, or to the Safeway grocery store in neighboring Fraser.
From the base of our driveway, you are able to access the Arapaho National Forest and hundreds of miles of trails.
This is a beautiful spot to hike to just up the trail and enjoy the trickle of a genuine Colorado stream. The water is pure, just having melted a short time before all year round from the snow capped
