About the host

Hosted by William or Joyce Carpenter

Host profile image
Craglough House was built by Bill and Joyce Carpenter as their dream home. Joyce is a retired social worker from the Social Work Department at the University of South Florida. Bill is a retired professor and former chairman of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. The house is modeled on Cragside, a Victorian mansion in Northern England. David Elfring, a renowned architect, captured the spirit of Cragside but with modern conveniences.

Why they chose this property

Joyce and I fell in love with Colorado many years ago. We spent several years looking for the perfect spot. We found the current location in the early 1980s and then proceeded to buy all the land we could afford. By 1997, we had acquired 80 acres and then started house construction. Improving the road, bringing in electricity, telephone, and building the house were epic tasks. You will enjoy the products of the effort.

What makes this property unique

We have a wonderful view of the Fraser River and Canyon and Byers Peak and the adjacent mountain ranges. Guests can walk down to the meadow and access the Fraser River for fishing if they wish and have "out of the door access " to the Strawberry Road Recreation Area for both Summer and Winter activities. The house has antique fireplace surrounds in the downstairs living room and Craglough suite. There is a sun room full of geraniums off the kitchen which also leads onto a balcony. The house's four balconies and patios all offer lovely and varied views of the surrounding countryside. Craglough House offers opportunities for both individual privacy and for family gatherings.
