The townhome is in a lovely, very convenient but unspoiled area with lots of open space and breathtaking scenery as you drive in and out. There is a large Safeway supermarket at the foot of the road that leads up to the Winter Star units. It is just one mile to the Safeway Market and 5 miles to the ski area.
After skiing or exploring, soak in the great hot tub in the open space behind the unit and enjoy the great mountain views. Or, just bask in the sunshine in the livingroom and enjoy the fireplace and views from there.
Come and enjoy the warm and relaxing ambiance and the convenience and of the design-winning floor plan! The Great Room on the middle level has fantastic style and use of space. There is lots of cozy livingroom seating and a built-in TV visible from the whole great room.

The bedrooms on the top and bottom levels are beautifully furnished. Each bedroom has a private bath and very large closet.
Our townhome has been a joint project combining the style and shopping efforts of parents located in the Boston/Cape Cod area and grown children who live in Boulder. The result is a very handsome, upscale mix of city, country and mountain décor, and a sophisticated, yet cozy and comfortable atmosphere. We invite you to come and enjoy too! Once you come, you will surely return!

Why the Owner Chose Winter Star
This area is closer and easier to get to than those in Summit County and the skiing is fantastic. Even more so with the recent expansions and new lifts and village added by Intrawest in the last couple years.
Owner's Map of Winter Star
Our townhome was a the result of a dream shared by parents on Cape Cod and grown children living in Boulder. We bought it pre-construction. We chose a unit with fantastic views and were able to add a number of special features such as the built-in TV, surround sound, extra recessed lighting, taller kitchen cabinets, etc. Then decorating and furnishing was a joint family effort guided by interior designer/mom Linda. Our dream came true and the result is even more wonderful than we imagined. We love spending time there together enjoying the skiing and the mountain views. Mom and dad have lived on Cape Cod near the ocean all their lives, but now they love the mountains and views from our ski home almost as much as the ocean.

Love the Condo - came back the next year

The condo was really well equipment and our group had a wonderful time on our first visit. We liked it so much that we returned a second year. The property was clean and well maintained and the owners were quick to answer any questions. The view of the mountains from the livingroom was fabulous. We like to cook most of our meals rather than eat out and the kitchen was well equiped. Our group consisted of three couples and we really like having bathrooms for each couple. The bunk room had a couch in which was really nice to use a a quiet place to read a book or catch up on work (I know - we were supposed to be vacationing!). We specifically wanted a hot tub that was a common hot tub for the complex because we had had trouble with owner provided hot tubs. This hot tub was well maintained, never crowded, always warm and had great views. After a day of skiing, the grocery store and liquor store were right on our way home! What's not to like about that!
Owner response:Laura and her husband and the two other couples stayed at our townhome for a week on each visit. They were very nice and we were glad they were able to return another year. We still keep in touch. Staying several days or a week really gives you time to settle in to enjoy the experience. The time there still seems to go too fast, but we encourage you to come for for more that a weekend if you can. Watching the sunrise light up Byers Peak from the master bedroomr becomes a morning ritual- breathtaking. Standing at our kitchen sink to make the morning coffee you look out at an expansive view of the Great Divide- a special way to start the coffee and the day. We hope you will come and enjoy too.

Brian and family loved our location and our WinterStar unit. They liked it so much that they bought a place of their own just around the corner. We became friends through the rental experience and still keep in touch. We compare notes on cleaning companies and sometimes refer renters to each other. It is now Oct 2010 and we just exchanges update emails again....
