My wife and I bought this condo to spend more quality time with our two children, ages eight and ten. We have loved Winter Park for years, mainly skiing and hiking depending on the season. I am a marathoner, and in recent years, a triathlete so training at altitude has provided benefits. Over the years we had stayed at Hi Country Haus in many different units but most often had rented one of our good friend's place. We loved the amenities in the clubhouse making that a tradition and a must do every time we went up. The kids would sled down the hill in the small park there in the evening, enjoying the evening activities as much as the skiing. They had never been so active outdoors as they were at Winter Park.

Therefore, it was a no brainer to buy a place and to look in Hi Country Haus. We love the ruggedness and authenticity of Grand County and the town of Winter Park not to mention skiing Mary Jane. But any time spent with our family up in the mountains away from the distractions of life in the front range are memories we will carry with us. Renting helps offset the payments but it's more than that. We want to share our joy of spending time in the mountains with others as we can't be up there every week.

Let us share our place with you. But be warned, after spending time here you'll want to return soon and often.

Please contact us with any questions or recommendations for enjoying your time in Winter Park and Grand County.

The range of activities in the summer are seemingly endless. There's hiking, biking, swimming, fishing and if you don't mind a quick drive, kayaking and boating in Grand Lake is 45 minutes away. Our favorite activity in the Summer and Fall is hiking the many trails any time of day. Having our bikes is also a key part of the stay.

In the winter, skiing and resting by the fire are an absolute musts just about every day we stay in Winter Park. The hot tubs provide the needed apre ski comfort for any wary muscles and luckily the newly refurbished clubhouse has three tubs available. We rest while the kids swim. Perfect for our family of four.

Recommendations for restaurants nearby -

Hernando's Pizza is the place to go in Winter Park for thick crust thin pizza. You can decorate a dollar bill and they will put it with the rest of the 20k bills on the walls and ceiling. It gets extremely crowded on the weekend but is fun for all.


The Peak is a brew pub also very close to Hi Country Haus. It is great for adults as a large airy sports bar but with tables. There is pool and games upstairs.


Fontenot's is a really great Cajun place for a nice dinner. A bit more upscale than the other place but not expensive. I love this place and would definitely recommend it for a night.


The Smokehouse is fairly new BBQ place in what used to be the Pizza Hut (still looks like one). They have been so accommodating every time we go, we keep going back. The BBQ is awesome.


The Foundry is the movie theater, bowling, and pizza place. Awesome for a beer and movie with state of the art stadium seating and decent food. If there's a movie playing there that you like, it's a fun night's activity. It has become one of the most popular places in the WP.

The Hideaway Park Brewery is a must stop by nano-brewery if you like tasting beer. The friendly atmosphere and craft brews keep me coming back most runs up the mountain.


The Grand Park Rec Center is awesome.
