Do Not Miss This Property!
Review Submitted: July 31, 2009

My wife and I love to travel and stay at unique rentals properties as well as B & B's all over the country. We never stay at the same place twice, but this property will definitely make us rethink that practice.
The pictures on the HA listing are gorgeous, but they do not do this place justice. Where do I start? First of all, views, views and more views. The property is right on the Fraser river with fabulous views of the mountains all around. The window placement in the home takes full advantage of the wonderful scenery no matter where you are in the home. If that is not enough, just sit on the spacious wrap around deck and enjoy the sight and sounds of the river and the mountains.
The fit and finish of this property is excellent (my wife is in new home sales and commented on the quality of the finish out) with plush carpet, granite counters, oil rubbed bronze in the 2 ¾ baths, stone and glass fireplace, and flagstone flooring and site finished cabinetry in the kitchen. In addition, there is an island in the kitchen with stainless appliances (kitchen is fully stocked with plates, glasses, coffee mugs, utensils, flatware, pots, pans, etc.), two living areas – one with pullout queen sleep sofa, wireless internet, keypad entry (no keys or cards to deal with), plenty of linens, top end washer/dryer, 3 large bedrooms (2 - King, 1 - twin x 2) with tons of closet space, auto lighting gas fireplace in main living, outdoor stainless gas grill on the deck, two large soaking tubs, satellite with flat screen in the living and a second large tv in armoire in the downstairs King bedroom, comfortable furnishings and tasteful decorations. Last, but by no means least, a brand new large hot springs hot tub with lots of jets and settings.
Winter Park’s dining/shopping is within walking distance with the ski lifts 5 minutes away and Fraser is 5 minutes down the road the other direction. We really enjoyed the ½ hour drive to Grand Lake with it’s mountain lake views and quaint shopping and dining opportunities as well. Our girls even took in some horseback riding through the national forest. As we stayed during the summer (gorgeous weather) we cannot speak to the skiing, but many of my friends have told me that it affords some of the finest skiing around.
As you can tell, we were thrilled with our experience at this gorgeous townhome. We found a place to relax from our frantic pace & would highly recommend it to anyone seeking a luxurious mtn getaway!
