This property not only has beautiful views but the outdoors is so easy to enjoy right from the property with hiking trails. The Host is so easy to communicate with throughout the stay as well. The home itself has everything you need and the kitchen was exceptional.

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!

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.

The house itself is one of the most beautiful places we have ever stayed. It's incredibly spacious (yet cozy), well furnished, full of all the amenities that you might need, incredible views as well as being nicely isolated to enjoy some peace and tranquility (even though the slopes and the town are only minutes away). The owners of the property are incredibly accommodating and very responsive; they have made our stay even better than we could've imagined. We can't wait to stay here again once we're in the Winter Park area.

Mountain views out every room. house was well designed, great floor plan. we walked down strawberry road every day and up trails into the mountains. we were blessed to see three moose and a fox. We skied at Winter Park 12 min drive, soaked in the sulfur hot spring 30 min away. If I ever build a house I would love for it to look and feel like this fantastic home. loved our stay here!

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!

This house has everything you could wish for and more. The pictures simply don't do it justice. The kids enjoyed pool tournaments while the adults congregated in the huge kitchen which made preparing meals for our large group a breeze. Next time we'll extend our stay just to spend more time relaxing and enjoying the views. We can't wait to come back next year!

This was by far the most enjoyable memorable experience for our Family! Unforgettable views and Memories made by all! Amazing views from every window at Property. We really enjoyed cooking together in the well equipped kitchen. We all just were in complete “awe” the entire week. No one wanted to leave. Thank you Mark fron the entire Lee Family.

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!

We had a great time spending a week at this house. Although we had a party of 14, we did not feel crowded at all. The view was spectacular and the amenities were plentiful. The on-site caretaker was attentive without being obtrusive. The house is very close to Winter Park and other small towns with lots of things to do. The bottom line is that it was a great place to stay, and we would recommend it highly to others. If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would!

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.

A wonderful location for multi generational reunion. The home is beautifully furnished with many art objects. Our children (ages 4, 5, 6, 8) were very respectful of objects at their height (“this is like a museum- we don’t touch.”) The kitchen is very well appointed with all we needed. The dining table seats 12 - the size of our group- so was ideal. Views from every room and deck are spectacular! A one mile gravel road leads to the driveway. Easy access to Fraser and Winter Park. The owners were very responsive and the on site property manager most helpful.

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.
