Exceptional House

This is the second time we have rented this house. House is exceptional, clean and very spacious with lovely decor. All rooms were as described. Plenty of room for extended family to spread out. Outside views were spectacular. Loved all the plants both inside and outside. Mark the caretaker was easy to work with, easy to communicate with and very attentive in answering our questions. Easy access to RMNP. I definitely recommend this house to anyone planning trip to west-side of RMNP.

Relaxing mountain property

PLENTY of space for our families (12). This listing/pictures don't do justice for the property. The views are breathtaking from every bedroom, patio, and balcony. There is a pool table/pool room that isnt featured at all and should be because we all played some, especially the teens. There is a Solarium off the kitchen, really lovely all times of the day with many gorgeous plants present. Here are some things I was curious about and couldnt find in any/hardly any of the reviews. There is ONE king bedroom on the main floor that allows for anyone with limited mobility access without having to do stairs. Master suite is upstairs, and is the only one on that level. All the rest are on the lower level, including the hot tub room. The house does NOT have AC. We were there late June, temps were in the 80's that week. While the upstairs level will warm up, it does also cool off in the evening with the windows open. There is fishing access from the property, it is mostly trout, and it will require some work to get there. The property caretaker lives on the property in a separate "wing" of the house. He is an amazing help, provides all information needed with a tour of the house when we got there, and was available for any additional questions we had during the stay. Other than checking in, we never saw him, you don't even know he is there. We are from Missouri, and a few of us were worried about the elevation. The house is at 8,700. Nobody had elevation sickness. Ages ranged 8-67.

Fun with a View

Our group of 15, ranging in age from 3 to late 40’s, thoroughly enjoyed the Craglough House. The bedrooms were spacious, there were different areas within the home for everyone to spread out, and the view was spectacular. We spent every night talking and eating together in the large chefs kitchen, and if anything was needed, sent a quick text to the caretaker for an immediate response. The location was great; close for activities and far enough away to provide seclusion with a grand view! The kids loved playing outside in the snow; we opened the door and they ran, climbed, and slid along the driveway. We made memories that will last a lifetime and look forward to renting again when we return to Winter Park.

We have been coming to Winter Park for over 40 years and this was the best place yet! The views are mind blowingly beautiful. The house was completely breathtaking and the hospitality was bar none.

Mountain PERFECTION!

I hosted a women's retreat for 15 adults, and this was the absolute perfect home. I could not believe the high quality and abundance of serving dishes, appliances, and cooking ware. WOW! There are so many little private spaces perfect for gathering and conversations. The caretaker was a real jewel, and the home is in fantastic condition with unique furnishings. I will stay here again and again!

Wonderful with a glitch

This palatial, comfortable, beautifully appointed, well stocked home located in the middle of recreation opportunities is the perfect multi generational vacation site. Unfortunately a major plumbing failure 2 days into our trip caused great disruption. The caretakers and owners worked hard to rectify the situation and our costs were refunded.

Perfect winter getaway

Our extended family and friends had an great time at this house, conveniently located between Winter Park and Grand Lake, with numerous winter activities nearby. Gorgeous interior, plenty bedrooms and bathrooms (master bedroom suite with a stunning view of the valley and snow peaks), spacious kitchen and formal dining hall for group dinners, family room with cozy fireplace and bookshelves, game room with pool table, sunroom and hot tub. Everything you need to get away from it all and recharge in the winter wonderland. Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful house!

Ski Party 2023

We had 5 couples stay in this house and it was great for a big group. The dishwasher was broken our entire stay, no fault of the owners. Parts were ordered but hadn’t arrived. Great kitchen with everything you could need. The only complaint I heard was that it was very noisy for the people sleeping downstairs anytime someone was walking around above them. The house was very clean and tidy.

Perfect Mountain Getaway

Each year, we spend a weekend at a large home in the mountains with our large extended family -- my other, my three siblings, their husbands/wives, and all of our children. This was one of our favorite homes that we've stayed in for our family winter weekend. The kitchen is large and well-stocked. There is plenty of room for everyone to sit at the tables and eat together. There is a billards room which we all enjoyed playing. We read books in front of the large fire, played cards and other games from the well-stocked game closet, skied at nearby Winter Park, went dow the tubing hill in Fraser, took the little ones to the pool at the Winter Park Rec Center, and relaxed in the hot tub in the evenings. Mark, the property manager, was informative, responsive, and fantastic. All together, it was one of our favorite weekends in a beautiful, well-stocked, comfortable home.

Perfect Family Getaway

When deciding to return to Colorado for our family vacation, we immediately knew we wanted to stay at Craglough House again. We had 11 people ranging from adults, teens and a baby. The home is beautiful and secluded, yet conveniently located between Winter Park and Grand Lake. We spent every morning in the conservatory drinking coffee and enjoying the views which can be enjoyed from every room. Evenings were full of fun playing family games in the rec room. Each room is large and family friendly for gathering together, but yields plenty of space for each having their own quiet spaces. The hot tub was enjoyed by everyone on the cool evenings and we spent rainy days playing pool! All in all the home and property are absolutely gorgeous, extremely clean and very well stocked! With our large family, we will stay here again the next time we find ourselves in the beautiful mountains of Colorado!

Great Experience

Took the trip with 8 adults and 7 children 3 and under. Was an excellent experience. Property manager was very responsive and helpful. Place was clean. Some members of our party did not love the firm mattresses but personally I prefers firm mattress. Only critiques is that it would have been helpful to know how many pack n plays were at the property (I believe the online listing says 1 but there were at least 3) and if the photos showed the layout a bit better I would have also appreciated that. Overall it was an amazing stay and we will likely be back.

Winter Park ski trip

Upon arrival Mark greeted us and walked through the home with us answering any questions we may have had. We’ve been traveling with a group of friends for over 15 years and we would all agree that this home with its location and views has been the best yet! The master bedroom is the entire top floor! Every room was nicely decorated. There were 12 adults on this trip. There is a small kitchen in the downstairs bedroom that gives one of the accesses to the hot tub. The home was very well stocked. Definitely would want to stay here again if we plan any future Winter Park trips!
