This Custom home was built using a centuries-old construction technique called "timberframing." Timberframe construction is typified by its use of large, exposed beams and logs connected by handcrafted, mortise and tenon joinery. It has a rustic feel, yet, has all the modern amenities. It has a second family room in the basement that includes a big-screen tv with video games, DVD, stereo, etc, which is perfect for the kids while the adults enjoy the main floor great room, which includes 25 ft vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and a fully equipped media, audio center. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare that feast for your family and friends.
The surrounding area is a true Colorado gem, with over 600 miles of the best mountain biking and hiking trails. Walk to the fly fishing haven of the Fraser river or fish the headwaters of the Colorado River, just 25 miles away. Enjoy some of the country's most spectacular and challenging mountain golf courses. The winter is host to award-winning skiing and snow boarding at Mary Jane and Winter Park Resorts. The two areas spread across 5 mountains and 3,078 acres with 3,060 ft of vertical and an impressive 30 ft of snow per year. You can find terrain for everyone from the beginner to the most experienced adrenaline junky. Explore thousands of miles of snowmobile trails or make your own tracks in wide-open powder fields. You may choose from more exotic winter activities such as dog sledding and horse-drawn sleigh rides, to a tranquil, relaxing spa visit at Devil's Thumb Resort. Get excercise by snowshoeing or cross-country skiing.
Our house is available for rent throughout the year. Call for availability and rates.

Map & Owner's Profile
Winter Park Custom Timber Frame Home - 5 BR/3 BA - 3000 Sq Ft
Why the Owner Chose Private Homes
We chose to build in the Winter Park area because we enjoyed visiting so much as children. We believe it is the last of the true "Colorado Mountain Resort Towns". It has just enough amenities to accommodate most interests, while maintaining a mountain town feel. As soon as we reach the top of Berthoud Pass and view the great continental divide and the Fraser Valley below, our stress is lifted. Smell the fresh mountain air, scented with pine trees and you will understand why we enjoy the area so much. We hope you will as well.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Our house has the perfect layout for our family and friends. It has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms with 2 complete family rooms. This allows us to enjoy the company of larger groups without feeling cramped. We love knowing that our kids are having fun in the basement family room playing, watching movies or playing video games, while the adults enjoy time together on the main floor. Mornings are a treat as the sun illuminates the 13,000 ft., snow-capped, Byers Peak framed by our large windows in the back of the house. The vaulted great room is accented by large wood beams and logs, giving you the feel of a true mountain getaway.
Home to some of the best skiing and riding in North America
Just 1 mile from the house you can ride or hike one of the many trails that wind among old ski lifts of the once frequented Idlewild Ski area or discover abandoned logger shacks from the 1930's, or th
These are stocked ponds that kids can use for free, with no fishing license. My kids and I have seen an eagle snatch a trout out of the pond while we watched!
Fish the Fraser River or one of the many beaver ponds. Oh, yes you can walk here from the house, and there is a fishing shop nearby as well.
Enjoy 2 seperate tubing hills with tow ropes for easy access to the top.
Enjoy Snowshoeing, cross country skiing, hiking or relax at the "world-class" spa. Fine dining and spa treatments are a must.
Stock up on groceries to eat in, or enjoy one of the tasty restaurants. Walk, drive or take the shuttle.
Golfers will love this 27 hole mountain course. Dont leave town without testing yourself on the "Ridge" 9.
Fun family activities at the YMCA of the Rockies, Snow Mountain Ranch
Home to a host of winter and summer activities. take a step back in time as you enjoy freshly churned ice cream as you stroll along the small-town board walk, play put-put, race go carts, go horse-bac

There is plenty of room for the kids have their own space to hang out, and the adults a separate area. There were plenty of bathrooms for our large group. Overall we were very happy with this home!

Home is clean, neat and conveniently located between winter park and sol vista ski resorts. Winter park shuttle stops right in front of the house. Appeared to have most everything we needed for the week. Couple of items of want...better lighting in bedrooms and at dining table, Internet was not functioning, only tv that got reception was in the living area. We would recommend staying here if you have transportation to get to grocery store and other areas besides winter park resort. Owner was extremely resourceful and responsive in providing information requested.
Recommended for:Tourists without a car, age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers.
