Mary Jane's Dream Home

By Jennie, Posted: 04/30/2024

Wow, what a great place to stay! We came here near the end of the Winter Park ski season and were able to be some of the first people to stay in this home after it had been off the market for a while. We absolutely loved the lodge and it speaks to a true ski vacation. The neighborhood is gated and ski in ski out which made access to the slopes so easy! The home is LARGE and we spread out and made ourselves comfortable. Sheets & towels were plush and nice, and the hot tub feels like your in the forest, it's awesome! The team at Winter Park Lodging Company couldn't have been nicer and when we had a small microwave issue, Zach came and fixed it immediately. Suggestion, plan on cooking here most of the time because the kitchen is perfect for that. Plus the home is decked out with full size kitchen stuff (bags, cleaner, dish pods, etc) so we didn't have to go buy that stuff. 10 outta 10 for us!

It was a a terrific time in a great home. So fun to be so close to the slopes yet secluded. We will be back. Thanks!


MANAGER COMMENTS:  Terrific!  You chose a tremendous home Wyle.  Please let us know when we can host you again.

Mary Jane's dream home is a beautiful home at the base of the Mary Jane ski slopes. The view from the front porch is outstanding. I also loved the privacy of the location. The neighborhood is very exclusive and quiet. The drive to and from the home is wooded and has great views of the slopes. All the furnishings are high-end and comfortable. The hot tub was great with the easiest cover I've ever seen. Winter park lodging company made the rental very easy with simple and thorough instructions and great communication. I particularly loved the keyless entree system. I would not hesitate to rent this home again.

MANAGER COMMENTS:  Fantastic!  We are all so pleased you enjoyed your time up at the Mary Jane's Ski Chalet.  That Bridger's Cache neighborhood is so great.  We do hope you'll come back this way and stay with us.

Very nice property we had a great time. Minor items that I'm sure after reading this they will be fixed. Ice machines did not work properly so we purchased ice in town. The kitchen pots & pans could be larger for the size of the house to accommodate large families cooking meals. Isolated get away very nice quiet upscale property. It was a great end of summer vacation and I'm sure it is a hot spot for winter vacationers as well.

MANAGER COMMENTS:  Thanks for keeping us in the know Gerry.  We have the fellas working on the ice machine currently and we are checking into updating the cookware in there.  The Dream Home does accommodate a few folks in there so would be great to have the cookware to reflect that.  We hope to host you up this way again!

We had an excellent stay at MaryJane's Dream home. The only negative was that there was a glass that was obviously not put away correctly from the cleaning staff and upon arrival, when I opened a cabinet, it fell and hit me in the head. I had quite the headache. Other than that unfortunate event, our stay was lovely. I'd definitely stay there again. House was gorgeous. Neighborhood was peaceful.

MANAGER COMMENTS:  Yikes!  We are so sorry to hear that.  That's not a very welcoming way to get into a new place!  We are so pleased otherwise the stay was uneventful and you enjoyed staying at Dream Home.  We hope to host you again (with a helmet, just in case) for a less intense welcome!

We loved Mary Janes dream home. It is beautiful and clean and very convenient for a large family getting to and from the slopes!

MANAGER COMMENTS:  Awesome!  We are all thrilled you enjoyed it up there.  It is a pretty fantastic location and home.  Do let us know when you come back up this way.

We had an awesome time at the home. Check in and check out were outlined well in the instructions. The home had plenty of space for 4 family with 7 kids. We enjoyed the kitchen making 3 meals/day. A definite return trip is in the plans.

MANAGER COMMENTS:  Fantastic!  We are all thrilled to hear you enjoyed the Dream Home.  We are happy to host you again so do let us know when you can get back this way.  Thank you!

This house was pure bliss from the moment we walked in! Sleeping options were awesome, especially considering we had (11) 40-50 year old men who want their own beds. Ski in/out was so easy, yes there is a short walk, but it was nothing. We had a couple amateur chefs and the kitchen amenities were excellent. Only thing that could have been better was the hot tub, you are only getting two a time without overflow. Management company was fantastic...special thanks to Sebastian!

MANAGER COMMENTS:  Excellent!  So pleased to hear you all enjoyed the property and that the chefs approved!  Sebastian is pretty great....we won't deny it!  Sorry the hot tub wasn't quite what you had hoped.  It is meant to accommodate 4.

HGTV Dream Home did not disappoint! Lots of steps but suited us for a family Christmas of 14 of us. Great Kitchen with almost anything you need. 4 person hot tub was nice and the separate living areas worked well for younger and older families. Beautiful views! All wheel drive is necessary in the winter.

MANAGER COMMENTS:  Wonderful!  We are delighted to hear everyone enjoyed the Dream Home.  It's in a pretty special spot out there on the mountain.  Please do call us when you come back this way.

My 70th birthday celebration exceeded my expectations. Ten of us (my wife and I, three daughters/husbands and two grandsons) spent a spectacular week at Mary Jane's Dream Home. There was plenty of room and amenities for the 4 family units, gorgeous views, large, well equipped kitchen/dining area. Other than afternoon activities, we spent the rest of time at this beautiful mountain home. Winter Park Lodging Company was attentive and meticulous about every detail, from the first phone call, to the final follow up. We would all happily stay there again.

MANAGER COMMENTS:  Fantastic!  We are so pleased you all enjoyed your time up here with us for your Birthday.  Quickly becoming one of our favorite guests Dennis!  Please give us a call when you all decide to get together again.

This house is beautiful! While we were there, it snowed some over the weekend, so the views from and around the house became even more stunning. The house was extremely clean and had great amenities. The neighborhood is nice and quiet, so it's great for a relaxing getaway. I'd definitely love to stay here again if I'm ever in the area!

MANAGER COMMENTS: Terrific!  I just love it when you have that dramatic contrast going on between snowy peaks and bright aspen.  Second best time of the year in my eyes (next to darting through the snowy trees on the mountain!).  Please do let us know if you'll be back this way.  The Dream Home will be waiting!

Thanks so much for letting us stay at the MJ Dream Home! It was very nice, and the quiet "secret" neighborhood at the base of Mary Jane was a real bonus! The house was very stylishly furnished. The master suite was incredible, especially the shower! The hot tub was a bit small for the size of the house, but still fun. The views were nice. The porch was a great place to sit - we even saw a bear! The architecture was beautiful. The seating and entertainment areas were comfortable and very useful. It's always easier to think of the things that weren't as great, so this small list in no way overshadowed our enjoyment of the property. - Refinish or buy new outdoor seating; some chairs had nails poking out in the seats. - some of the wood needed refinishing on the deck and in certain parts of the home - several people commented on how hard the beds were in the basement and upstairs double/single/single room All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed the place. And LOVED the location. We want to come back for ski season! Thanks!

MANAGER'S COMMENTS...What a treat to see a bear!  I hope he didn't try to steal your berries. We are working on some new patio furniture and we will be like Goldilocks and try out all the beds.  Glad you enjoyed your secret stay and we hope to host you again soon, maybe for a ski vacation.

Great place for a large group. Amazing place to spend time!

I'm tempted to rate this house poorly to keep it a secret. The house slept 16 adults for a 5 night stay without much of a problem. Everything was top of the line and decorated very tastefully. The "corridor" ski run is within 50 yards of the driveway, making the neighborhood ski-in & ski-out. If you're looking to go to the mary jane territory, the base is only a short walk away. During our stay, we had an issue with a door jamming and it was handled immediately by Winter Park Lodging Company. I really can't say enough good things about this house and hope to return!

MANAGER'S COMMENTS...We'll try to keep it a secret, but it's such a great home it won't be easy.  The ski in/ ski out is an added bonus, but give us a call to chat about it, as it isn't for all skier/riders.

We rented Mary Jane's Dream Home over Super Bowl weekend with a small group of our old college friends and it was perfect! We absolutely loved waking up every day and drinking our coffee in the great room. The amazing view of the Continental Divide along with the grand two-story room and fireplace made it the perfect spot to sip our coffee and relax before heading out on the slopes each morning. We did find the Corridor Trail entrance right by the community clubhouse and could hop on that to ski down to Winter Park base, which was very convenient. The house is also an incredibly short drive (or even walk) to the Mary Jane Base and a quick 5-minute drive to the Winter Park base so we were skiing in morning very quickly. Both Winter Park and Mary Jane offer world-class skiing and met all the needs of our group where we have skiing and boarding levels from beginner to expert. We also found the little downtown area of Winter Park to be quaint and friendly, and we had a great group dinner out at Deno's Mountain Bistro one of the evenings. We also enjoyed Apres Ski at Vertical and Doc's at Winter Park base and we all really loved coming back and relaxing in the house after a long day on the mountain. The hot tub with the beautiful view of the woods was shear perfection at the end of a long skiing day. We highly recommend Mary Jane's Dream Home and will certainly rent it again if we travel back to Winter Park. Thanks also for all of the key info prior to our stay and during including lift passes, ski rentals (Black Tie ski rental concierge service was AWESOME), restaurant recommendations, and more.

MANAGER'S COMMENTS...Wow!  We'd like to offer you a job writing copy for our properties.  What a beautiful description you painted with your review.

The Mary Jane Dream House we stayed at was simply awesome. It was very spacious, luxurious, and absolutely beautiful down to the finest detail. The beds were cozy. The rooms were beautiful. There was plenty of space. The furnishings were of the highest caliber, and the hot tub was amazing! There was a nice view as well as some good deck space. The house was stocked full of all our needs. It had three floors - a basement, including a bedroom, bathroom, laundry room, and entertainment area. The ground floor had a beautiful living room with large windows with a view of the mountains. The second floor included a resting area by a large window and upper porch. This was our favorite area of the house as it was the highest point, and you could see out the window to the mountains. Everything was comfortable, convenient, and of very high quality. The first time we saw this house and walked through it, we were amazed. All in all, the place was probably the nicest place we've ever stayed at ever in my lifetime. It was a great place for us to have fellowship and to get isolation at the same time. Very relaxing and restful and I thank God and you guys for making it happen. There was a silent sadness among everyone that we were leaving, but at the same time, thankfulness for the week.
