We recently stayed at the Round House for 4 nights to celebrate Thanksgiving with extended family. We had a party of 8 adults and a toddler, and for the Thanksgiving meal, had two additional guests drive up from Denver. The Round House was perfect for a group of our size, had plenty of space for all of us to gather, a spacious kitchen with plenty of utensils for several cooks to work on the Thanksgiving feast, and even with 8 showers every morning, we never ran out of hot water! The kitchen/dining/living room set up is really a very good sized great room so we were always able to be together without someone being separated in another room. Despite its very roomy size, the wood ceiling and decorations make the great room space feel very cozy and intimate. The ping pong table and very well maintained hot tub were additional features that made our stay so enjoyable. Furnishings are sturdy and very comfortable. The location is convenient to both Fraser and Winter Park, is quiet, and feels private. The owners are very pleasant to deal with and attentive to the needs of their guests. The Round House exceeded our expectations and is the best of the many experiences we have had in renting through VRBO. We will definitely be return customers in the future and would unhesitatingly recommend the Round House for groups like ours.
Owner response:Wow, we couldn't have asked for a more complimentary review. Thank you. Tom and I are glad to see all our hard work is giving us satisfied guests! Thanks again and we're looking forward to your next stay.

March 2011 will be our sixth stay at the Round House. Over the years, our group age has ranged from 2 months to 75 years and this home has been accommodating for all. We just wouldn't think of staying anywhere else for our spring break ski trips. There is plenty of sleeping space, and the kitchen is well equipped for our large family of 15 plus. We send the kids downstairs to watch TV or play ping pong and the grown-ups can visit and enjoy the scenery in the main floor sitting area. It is very close to Winter Park and Mary Jane ski areas as well as the Fraser tubing hill. We have cross country skied, snowshoed, sledded, and tunneled in the meadow outside the house. The only drawback is the fairly steep driveway. While driveway plowing is provided by the owner, it can be a little challenging in a heavy snow without 4-wheel drive or chains. The Hillens are always helpful and responsive. We would highly recommend this property to our friends. Our relatives already know what a great place it is. P.S. The photos and property description in the VRBO listing are very accurate.
Owner response:Come find out why guests come back to the Round House year after year!

The location, layout and amenities fit our group of 3 families perfectly. Everything was neat, tidy, well maintained and perfect. The owner's had everything nicely labeled so everything was easy to locate and instructions for everything. I would definitely recommend this place and stay again. We ate at the Azteca Mexican Restuarant and it was good food and great customer service. We loved the hot tub! We drove a short distance to ski Winter Park and shopped at the local Safeway for groceries to cook at the round house.
Owner response:Thank you Jindria. It is always a compliment to us when our guests are satisfied! Our goal is to make every guest a returning guest - we look forward to your next stay at the Round House.

As an extended family group, we have been spending about a week in Fraser/Winter Park each year for more than six years and have stayed at a variety of rental homes. This house is my absolute favorite! Not only was the house clean, beautiful, and spacious enough for 17 of us, the television was downstairs allowing for uninterrupted conversation in the main upstairs living area (the biggest plus in my mind). I also loved the ping-pong table as it provided a way to work off some excess energy while inside. The number of bedrooms (5) and distribution of beds, plus the wide open space in the recreation room was comfortable for the adults and left plenty of space for more creative sleeping arrangements for the kids. The kitchen was large enough so that four of us easily could be preparing food without getting in each others' way. The table could sit 10 people maximum and the counter had stools for 4 more. We improvised for the last three seats. There were cracks in a few items, but nothing excessive. Groups could be accommodated in several gathering areas: in the rec room, at the kitchen table, at the stool counter, in the couch/table/chairs area, and in the easy chair corner. Several different activities would occur simultaneously. I would definitely stay here again.
Owner response:Thank you for the positive response. I agree that having the tv not readily acessible is a nice retreat that people don't realize until they experience it. The cracked plate/ cup have been removed. thanks again. We love returning guests! A great compliment to us.

We have rented this home twice and both times have been wonderful!!! My family plans a trip every summer and I sometimes have a hard time finding a home to sleep all 13 of us in bedrooms. Not a problem at this beautiful home. We really enjoyed sitting in the hot tub and looking out on the meadow behing the house. The home is in a great location, close to Winter Park and a short drive to Grand Lake. Tom and Alicia are very nice and helpful people. We will return again, I'm sure!!! The Wolfe Family
