COZY 3500 sqft, 5 big bedrooms, 3 baths on 2 floors, 8 miles to Winter Park

Eleven of us from three different states enjoyed our time immensely creating memories for a life-time at The Round House. This is the first time that we've all (minus 2 who had to work) been able to be together since 2015.

The setting is serene: we saw deer, moose, and bear in the 5 days were there; the house is spacious enough to spread out into different areas so the younger children can run and squeal to their hearts content. <3 They enjoyed the 'fort' (a platform in the trees) and having pine-cone wars. All of us enjoyed the large family dining table (a book-ended live-edge tree) that could seat us all (two on one end).

Out of fairness to the future vacationers, the kitchen sink does not appear clean (it must be stained) and I would hope the owners, Alicia & Tom, would replace that soon. It is apparent they continue to do maintenance to their property. The brand new kitchen appliances (large fridge, dishwasher and gas oven/stove) were fabulous. To increase family time we decided to cook dinners *in* and each family took a night. Just remember to adjust your recipes to 8,000+ ft because the super fancy oven doesn't do *that* adjustment for you. ;-)

There is no A/C (which is probably in the description, but I missed it). I understand why since there are not that many hot days and the cool nights do help out. We had a couple of 'close' nights and ended up buying a fan for our disabled son's room to pull the cool air in.

All generations LOVED the ping pong table and the humming birds! We saw 5 simultaneously...something you won't see in the Winter. Several of us hopped into the hot tub a few nights. There is a nice pair of new laundry appliances which we used. And probably the most beloved part of the vacation was time spent with family and *no* TV. It never crossed our minds to turn either of the big screen TVs on. It was a GREAT vacation at The Round House! Thanks, Tom & Alicia for sharing your home and your recommendations for restaurants and fun things to do. They were spot on!

The house was great and when we had any questions or concerns the owners were very fast to respond. Great for our big family and wonderful layout

The Roundhouse was absolutely perfect for our large family - 8 adults and 7 small children. The house was immaculately clean, and the kitchen was very well supplied. Loved the 14 cup coffeemaker! Plenty of pillows, blankets, towels, sheets! And the beds were super comfortable. We shopped for groceries at the Safeway in Fraser - about 10 minutes drive from the house. Loved the central location for our excursions to Winter Park, Georgetown, Granby & Grand Lake. We even managed a trip to the top of Trail Ridge Road in RMNP. Tom & Alicia were so easy to communicate with - even checking in with us to make sure everything was okay. And the surroundings are just beautiful! I would definitely recommend this property for a large group. Nothing I can even think of to suggest to make it better! Thanks Tom & Alicia!!!

The Round House was perfect for our family gathering. We were attending a wedding celebration at nearby Devils Thumb Resort. The house has the room we needed for sleeping and for gathering. With 2 large separate gathering spaces there was room for kids to play and adults to visit. Kitchen is very large and accommodates several cooks. We saw lots of birds and even moose from the expanse of windows. Certainly a place we will visit again.

We had a lovely time at the round house. There was plenty of space for the adults and the kids. We really liked that there wasn't a TV on the main floor in the living room/kitchen/dining area. We saw some moose tracks and scat outside the bedroom window and went on a track hunt for more into the meadow.
