Best stay EVER!!!

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. Couldn’t have picked a better place! Saw some awesome wildlife including many birds, a rabbit and an arctic fox!!

Great for large group Winter Park ski trip!

Absolutely incredible! Beautiful views! Awesome location close to Winter Park and Grand Lake/ RMNP. We skiid and snowmobiled, and it was the adventure of a lifetime! The house was gorgeous and came with everything we needed, including a stocked kitchen with 3 ovens. Plenty of beds and lounge spaces. The property manager was very prompt in communication and kind. Highly recommend!

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.

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.

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.

Beautiful property with plenty of room

This was our second time staying at the Craglough House with extended family (6 adults, 4 children). There is plenty of room for everyone, ample cooking supplies, a beautiful view and lots of neat places to explore just in the area around the property. Easy drive to Winter Park, super close to Devil’s Thumb Ranch for food/spa. All in all, pretty darn perfect! The owners are great to work with as well.
