Great Family Getaway

Our family of ten (ranging in age from 2 months to 63!) fit perfectly in this homey cabin. We enjoyed the fire, hot tub and games. Our hosts were very responsive and everything was as described. I highly recommend this getaway-- regardless of the season!!

We had a great time at the Sitzmark Ranch.

The property was perfect for our family vacation. Playground, volleyball, and basketball for the kids and fire pit, hot tub, and covered porch for the adults. The location was great, easy in and out. The design of the house is a little odd, but the tower was worth it!

What a fantastic experience.

Fabulous home in perfect location - homely with plenty of room for our family reunion of 12 adults. Very clean, fully stocked with everything we needed. Beds were comfortable with warm, good quality duvets. Owner was very responsive both prior and during our stay - nothing was too much trouble! Would have no hesitation recommending this lovely home.

Awesome! Beautiful Home!

This property and location was great. The property is comfortable and spacious. We were a party of 12 and still had space. It was about 10 mins in to town with very easy access. Daisy the property caretaker was great, she checked up on us to see if we needed anything and was never intrusive. Excellent stay would highly recommend.

Great family or friends vacation house.

Great living room space, porch and outdoor activity spaces! Note that this is really a 4 bedroom, not 5 bedroom, home. The 5th room has 2 twin beds, but is the hallway and only way to get to the large multiple beds room, as well as the room with bed and sleeper couch.

A Fabulous Family Reunion

The property was more remote than the listing made it appear...something that delighted us (but it was still only 5 minutes from the grocery store). The house was beautiful, but we delighted even more in walking around the woods and visiting the teepee and seeing some deer.

Stayed here with 8 friends for a long weekend of golfing and outdoor fun. This property is in a great location and has plenty of room for outside games and relaxation. Kitchen was the best stocked (pots, pans, cookie sheets, utensils, etc.) that I have ever seen. Beds very comfortable; great owner and on-site host/caretaker. Would recommend.

The property and house is so beautiful!

The house is so big that it doesn’t feel like you are on top of one another which is very nice. The weather is beautiful there in June! 70-80s during the day with a nice breeze and then down to the 40s at night. Everything that said was provided was and if there was anything we needed they made sure we had it! Frank and the caretakers are very helpful and accomodating. Would definitely recommend staying here!

Wonderful mountain house

We had a blast with three families and our little kids. They can’t wait to go back! Plenty of space inside and out and everything you’ll need. Just outside Fraser with great access to winter park and the Fraser valley as well as national forest access with hiking and biking. We were up for a ski trip but would be great in summer too. We expect to be back!! Frank was great, super informative and responsive. Thanks and hope to be back again soon! Matt

Family Gathering

Five grandchildren were completely exhausted by the end of the day. There were so many activities right on the property for adults and children, including the walking trails. They were also a nice "get-away" for those times when quiet times were needed. The location is excellent, as we were able to do three fabulous hikes, all within a twenty minute drive. The Continental Divide Trail allowed us to see three alpine lakes, and we hiked down to King Lake. We were also able to take in an outdoor concert in Winter Park. There were six adults, (eight for a couple of nights) and five children, We would most definitely return.

Winter in Fraser

House is nice proximity to Fraser & Winter Park. Easily accessible. We had 3 couples & 2 singles. Property manager is easy to reach with any questions or concerns. Host was easy to communicate with. The only negative is we could not get the heat adjusted properly to a comfortable temperature. We found it to be too hot or too cold . I’m sure it was just our inability to adjust the nest thermostats. All in all it accommodated our needs !
