The cabin / house was as described . Plenty of room for older parents, 3 siblings and their children(2 of 3 adults). The home was large with outdoor decks for gathering and grilling and large comfortable areas for multiple small gatherings , games and catching up. Outdoor area offered everything within 45 minutes: golf, fishing , hiking and national parks. Wonderful hosts and prompt communication and answers when questions arose. We all loved it!
Beautiful home with plenty of rooms and space. Very clean and not far from Winter Park base. We had a wonderful time and will definitely book this house again next year!
Fantastic location: close to Winter Park ski resort, YMCA and Devil's Thumb. Very comfortable and cozy for the family to stay. Well stocked kitchen. Comfortable beds.
Place was absolutely amazing⊠pond right off the back patio.. beautiful view.. enough beds for all my kids and grandkids and brother and his kids⊠friendly neighbors (we forgot butter at grocery store and had to borrow some) fire pit and snores in the evenings⊠would highly recommend to anyone â€ïž
Great stay overall, listing was true to its word. Downstairs guest bedroom bed was quite squeaky and the deck furniture was a bit dated, but we really enjoyed the space for our party of 8 + 2 goldies!
We loved our stay here in Tabernash. It was a perfect location if you want a little less business. You are close enough to everything. A Safeway 5 minutes away and restaurants. Most places we were going was within a hour or 2 drive. My boys loved fishing in the pond and the basketball court. The pool table was a huge hit as well! We want to bring the extended family back next time. So much room. Thanks!
It was a wonderful experience! We enjoyed the cabin, it was a great place for my family to stay. The lake in the back was so much fun. Would highly recommend this cabin to everyone . We will do it again!!
Stayed with large family group for a wedding at Devil's Thumb. Happy to be able to bring my dog. House was cozy, well stocked and easily accommodated our group of 12. Surroundings are beautiful and serene. Owners were easy to work with. Great place!
Lovely, clean accommodations. Perfect for our extended family, holiday gathering. Owner was attentive and available for questions and facilitating items left behind. Would recommend to friends/family and would gladly return to this property. Property location provided easy access to ski resort, shopping, and other outdoor activities. Also squeezed in an hour of family bowling at a local venue!
This home was perfect for the gathering of our family to attend a wedding at Devil's Thumb Ranch. The sleeping arrangements were perfect and the fenced back yard worked great for my daughter's dog. The home was very clean and the kitchen well stocked with all the cooking and serving necessities of a large group. We had a great time staying at this beautiful home in Tabernash. Easy access to Devil's Thumb Ranch, Tabernash Tavern, golf at Pole Creek, and even some time in Winter Park. Sunrise over the Continental Divide from the upstairs deck is a spectacular sight every morning.

Would love to come back!
Located right next to a fishing pond with some good sized fish. Centrally located between Winter Park, Fraser, Granby and Grand Lake. House was perfect for the entire family. Accommodates 12 comfortably and could sleep 16 easily with the sofa sleeper and bunk beds. Pet friendly and small kid friendly. Fenced in yard for dogs. Stroller, gate for the stairs and booster seat for the little one. Kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans. All we needed to buy was food. We also found several good restaurants close by. Owner was very accommodating.
We had a large family and it more than surpassed our needs. We had
4 couples and kids ages from 18 to 2. The beds were very comfy! Thank you so much for letting us into your home. Fantastic lake to fish in and just use floats. The kids also loved the playground and basketball court. It was so relaxing to drink coffee on the deck and watch the hot air balloon come in every morning. The kitchen with all kinds of pans, dishes, appliances and spices was to die for Amazing! The water was a little hot.
There was a Safeway about 8 minutes away and a City Market about 15 miles away. We liked this since we are always starving in the mountains! There were lakes at Grandby and Grand Lake, also every kind of rental boat you can name. So much fun that we didn't have time to do much else except a couple of hikes and play in the water. Maybe next year because this is our new favorite vacation spot! Thank you
On arrival at the property cleaning, and King Bed hadn't been made or done. The pillows had NO pillow covers. Coffee maker had mold in it so it had to be cleaned before any use. The dishwasher was in need of repair or replacement bottom shelf could hardly be pulled out. When cleaning crew arrived none of the individuals could speak English so they had NO idea what we wanted done. They were supposed to return the day after check in, but never did. The cleaning crew arrived again the night before check out @ 6:30 pm.
First I'll start with the pros. This home is gorgeous. It's a great area, easy to find and the neighbors are awesome. The owners were very easy to work with and were timely and thorough with communications.
Now for the cons... If you are a couples only group, this house isn't for you if you have more than 4 couples. One room is crammed with bunk beds and a crib. There's a sofa couch but that leaves no privacy for one couple. We had 6 couples and made it work but don't know if we would do it again.
If you like to cook, this house may not be for you. Nice kitchen but EVERY time we used the stove, the smoke detectors went off. No there wasn't any smoke but they were that sensitive. We had doors open but that didn't help. We couldn't open windows and I'll get to that in a minute. Another thing about the kitchen, if you are bringing a large group, bring your own big pans. We had to cook stuff in phases because there weren't big enough pots and pans for 12 people.
There are signs/notes/ RULES EVERYWHERE! By the doors, windows, fireplace, etc all telling you what you can't do in the home. Seriously there were so many signs, my husband literally looked for one by the couch to make sure it was ok to sit on. Speaking of the signs and back to cooking, you can't open any windows. (So as the alarms are blaring, there's nothing you can do about it but wait for them to stop.) The windows are either sealed or locked shut. Seems like a fire hazard to me but it was more of a nuisance. Because the windows didn't open, we could never all get comfortable at night in the house. It was too hot up top and the couples downstairs were freezing.
Iron before you go unless you want to create a makeshift stand for the board. It had no legs and the iron was probably older than me.
The TV in the master bedroom only plays DVDs. Just want to throw that out there so you don't think there's Direct TV in there like we did. There's no TV other than that one upstairs at all. So if you want to gather and watch a movie, you have to go downstairs to do so.
Speaking of downstairs, the bedrooms seem to be for children. That was a little scary considering there's a door that leads to outside. If I had children with me, I would make sure an adult was staying downstairs with them.
Now all that being said, again I'll say it's a beautiful home. We've rented several gorgeous homes in the area for our couples getaway and this one is comparable but I don't know that we would rent it again.
Clean and spacious property, perfect for a family vacation .Close to Winter Park Resort. Easy to access from the main road. We love the layout of the cabin and beautiful views.Clean and equipped with all you need.
The location of this property was great. The pond in the back and views were wonderful. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed and then some. The size of the house was perfect for our large family. We had some cleanliness issues but they offered to send the cleaning company over to fix the issue. In the end it was all ok. The house could use a deep cleaning but it all worked out.
This gem in Tabernash was the perfect place to celebrate Christmas with our family. Close to Winter Park and tons of outdoor adventures.
Thank you Peter for a house to make memories!
One of our favorite VRBOâs - great for families!
Perfect location which is always tricky with young kids. It was close to the major towns we wanted to visit yet nestled in a small, quiet neighborhood. It has stunning views from the back porch. Itâs on a fairly flat lot with safe and spacious spots for our kids to play and roam. We went on many walks with the stroller and there are nice paved neighborhood roads. There is also a great neighborhood playground, picnic area and beautiful little lake with a path all the way around. These were big bonuses for us with three young kids and a dog! The house was clean and cozy. The kitchen is well-stocked which is usually a compliant from me when traveling since we are a family of 7 and mostly cook all our meals and most VRBOâs donât have enough cookware for large groups! The only thing that could have made this better is the outdoor areas. We wanted to eat all our meals outdoors but there were not enough chairs on the upper deck or downstairs patio. It is such a great backyard with a view but didnât feel like we utilized it enough because there werenât enough chairs and tables. The upstairs deck just had a small table and a few chairs. There was no table on the downstairs patio and only a few chairs. Thereâs a great fire pit and we cooked sâmores and hot dogs and such but had all the food spread out on the ground because there was no table. With some attention to the outdoors, the back of the house could be really amazing. Overall, we would absolutely stay here again!
We live in Littleton, CO and purchased this home to be a weekend and vacation get-away for our extended family. This area was appealing for the space, the views and the proximity to multiple downhill and cross country ski resorts plus plenty of hiking and other outdoor activities.
Very spacious home, pool table, fenced-in backyard is very pet-friendly, outdoor fire pit, wood-burning fire place. Snowshoe and hiking trails right out the door and around the small lake which the house overlooks. Also a kids playground just a short walk away.
