Overview
This vacation home sits on two wooded acres in the Winter Park Highlands neighborhood of Tabernash, Colorado, offering a quiet, private mountain retreat surrounded by pines with views of the Continental Divide. It is a standalone house rather than a hotel, ideal for groups seeking seclusion and space. With a public rating of 4.9 from 475 reviews, it is consistently praised as a relaxing, well-equipped getaway.

The main level features a master bedroom with a king-sized pillow-top bed and private full bath, plus a second bedroom with a queen bed, while the lower level adds a third bedroom with two bunk beds sleeping four, giving the home three bedrooms total across two living areas. The main-level living room has vaulted ceilings, big windows, and leather couches seating six, while the lower level offers a sectional sofa, large TV, Roku, DVD player, Wii, and Xbox 360 for entertainment. A large mudroom downstairs is handy for stowing coats, boots, and outdoor gear.
Amenities & Recreation
Highlight amenities include a private hot tub positioned for mountain views and stargazing, a wood fireplace, an outdoor fire ring, and a wrap-around deck with a gas grill. The home is fully equipped with a kitchen (refrigerator, oven, microwave, dishwasher, coffee-maker, toaster, and cookware), a stackable washer/dryer plus an extra dryer, free Wi-Fi, cable TV, free parking, and heating, and it is both pet-friendly and smoke-free.
Dining Nearby
While the home has a fully stocked kitchen for cooking in, several restaurants are within a short drive, including Bistro 28 (about 2.6km away), Bluebird Bistro (about 4.8km), Lost and Found Granby (about 7.2km), and Sharky's Eatery (about 8.9km), along with American, barbecue, and breakfast options a bit further out such as Brickhouse 40, Sagebrush BBQ & Grill, and Carver's Breakfast & Burgers.
Location & Surroundings
The property is close to major outdoor attractions, including Winter Park/Mary Jane ski areas (about 15 minutes away), Ski Granby Ranch (about 10 minutes), Snow Mountain Ranch (YMCA), and Devil's Thumb Ranch for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. Lake Granby is roughly a 20-minute drive, and Grand Lake and Rocky Mountain National Park are about 30 minutes away, with Eagle County Regional Airport approximately 97km distant.
Best for
This home is best suited for families and groups of friends seeking a private, quiet mountain escape with room to spread out across two living areas and three bedrooms sleeping multiple people comfortably. Winter sports enthusiasts will appreciate the close proximity to Winter Park/Mary Jane, Ski Granby Ranch, and Devil's Thumb Ranch, while the hot tub, fire pit, and wooded two-acre lot make it equally appealing for those simply wanting to relax and unwind.
Travel tips
Plan on roughly a 90-minute drive from Eagle County Regional Airport, so renting a car is advisable for getting to and around the property. Winter Park/Mary Jane ski areas are about 15 minutes away and Ski Granby Ranch about 10 minutes, making this a convenient base for both winter sports and summer activities like hiking near Lake Granby or Rocky Mountain National Park. Since the home is on a wooded two-acre lot away from town, stock up on groceries and supplies before arrival, though the kitchen is fully equipped for cooking.
