Then warm up with hot cocoa by the fire or in the 8 person outdoor hot tub soaking in the serene forest and meadow views. This spacious, 3500 sq ft, tastefully decorated 'Round House' accommodates up to 18 people very comfortably and allows multiple families, reunions or corporate retreats to experience the Fraser Valley with exceptional comfort and style. This cozy, spotless home has great multi-use spaces, the adults can share a quiet conversation around the fire while kids play ping-pong, games, or watch TV in the down stairs family room. It opens up onto a large meadow where sledding, snowman and tunnel building can entertain kids young and old for hours.
Your gathering begins on the main level, where you can enjoy the peaceful view of the forest and meadow while preparing your special recipes in the large gourmet fully-equipped kitchen or from the comfortable seating in the sunny great room. The roundness, large expanse of glass, and warm cedar ceilings make you feel like you're part of the natural surroundings. This level also includes the master bedroom with a private bath and walk in closet, second and third bedrooms, second full bath, and a deck with gas barbecue. The sunny, lower level, walk out includes a large family room with a ping-pong table, satellite TV, VCR, DVD, CD player, game table and wet bar; two additional bedrooms; full bath and laundry room. Gaze at the bright stars from the new hot tub located off the lower level. Summer activities includes the Winter Park base area with alpine slide, miniature golf, maze, and climbing wall; mountain biking on many marked trails, hiking in famous Rocky Mountain National Park, or golf at reknown Pole Creek. You can also soak at nearby Hot Sulphur Springs (open year round) or visit the quaint town of Grand Lake. Devil's Thumb and Snow Mountain Ranch offer fantastic cross country ski trails. Winter Park has a new rec center- fun for all ages.

Once again, the Roundhouse was the perfect spot for us to celebrate Thanksgiving with extended family. Our group included 10 adults and 2 children plus two more adults and a toddler joining us just for the Thanksgiving feast. The main floor great room is perfect for large groups to gather, eat together, play games, and talk. Although the great room is very large, the wood finishes, comfortable furniture, and fireplace make the space feel cozy and warm. The bedrooms are large, comfortable, and provide flexibility for sleeping arrangements. The downstairs walkout provided the perfect venue for our ping pong tournament, and the hot tub was perfectly maintained. The views of the meadow from the decks and hot tub make you want to linger there. The Roundhouse is filled with panoramic windows letting in a lot of natural light and providing terrific views. The kitchen is large and well equipped, and even with several of us working at the same time on the Thanksgiving feast, we never felt crowded. This was our second extended stay at the Roundhouse and we are already planning another visit. We would unhesitatingly recommend the Roundhouse to anyone looking for that perfect mountain getaway!Recommended for: Girls getaway, people with disabilities, families with young children, sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway.

There were 13 of us (8 adults, 5 kids) who gathered at the Round House for a family reunion. It was well located, very spacious, and we had more than enough room to spread out. There were still more beds that we didn't even use. Three bedrooms were on the main floor, which was appreciated by those who were unable to navigate stairs! Kitchen was well equipped and we cooked out on the infrared grill one night. Tom was the nicest man and so responsive to all our needs and questions. His wife, Alicia, was the same--friendly and accomodating throughout the entire rental process. We will definitely rent the roundhouse again when we gather in Winter Park area. By the way--the house is even nicer than the pictures show. We loved sitting in the living room with a cup of coffee and gazing out onto the meadow in the mornings.Recommended for: Girls getaway, families with young children, age 55+, families with teenagers.
Owner response: Thank you, we are so glad you enjoyed your stay and look forward to your next stay! Thanks again, Tom and Alicia

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.Recommended for: Girls getaway, families with young children, age 55+, families with teenagers.
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.Recommended for: Girls getaway, families with young children, sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers.
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.Recommended for: Girls getaway, families with young children, families with teenagers.
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!!!
