Balsh Hideaway

By Tom, Posted: 08/16/2024

Charming stand alone home in Fraser. We truly enjoyed the location of being in a quiet spot yet quite close to town/activities. There was loads of space for all and having a private hot tub was fantastic.....and so clean! We will be back.

MANAGER COMMENTS:  Thanks Tom!  It is really nice and quiet up there at Balsh.  So pleased you enjoyed your mountain time with us!  Reach out whenever you'll be back this way.  ~  The Winter Park Lodging Company Team

The property is well equipped, had everything we needed for our stay. Comfortable beds and spacious enough for a family or large group. Many places have beds for large groups but not enough lounge seating but here there was plenty of space for all to visit. Would definitely book again.

MANAGER'S COMMENTS: So great to hear you loved Balsh Hideaway and found the home well stocked. It is always nice to have plenty of space to visit and hang out! Give us a shout when you want to come back again and we will make sure you receive your return guest discount. Thanks again Irma!

We all enjoyed staying at this home. Nice, quieter location but very short drive to town/activities. The private hot tub was immaculate as was the whole home. Very clean and any item we could need was provided. Hosts were easy to communicate with and organized.  Love the return guest discount.....we'll be back!

 MANAGER'S COMMENTS: We loved hosting you and your family Heidi! Thank you for being amazing guests and for leaving the house so clean. Our team really appreciated that especially with another guest checking in the day you departed. We look forward to your next visit!

We really enjoyed staying at the Balsh Hideaway. A very nice, private home. Lovely private hot but that was checked throughout our stay! There is a shuttle stop if you don't want to drive to the Resort. We did both. Thanks for hosting us!

MANAGER COMMENTS:  Thank you Edith!  So pleased you enjoyed the home.  It's in a really great, quiet location.  Please let us know if we can help/host you again.  ~  The Winter Park Lodging Company Team

My family and I had such a great stay at Balsh Hideaway. We were able to sled on a nearby hill and all soak in the hot tub. We were a little short on towels for the hot tub, but the folks over at Winter Park Lodging Company were quick to drop a few off. Will definitely stay again!

MANAGER COMMENTS:  Thanks for letting us know about the towels.  Got to keep you warm and dry when using that amazing hot tub!  Please do come back and stay with us again!

Balsh Hideaway was a quiet and cozy home which comfortably slept our group of 5 adults and 3 kids and could easily accommodate 2 more if needed with a sofa-bed in the living room. The property had everything we needed and was very close to town for our snow-shoeing adventure, tubing, skiing and of course those Starbucks runs if required. We had an issue with the hot tub but the property manager came promptly to address it so that we could enjoy while we were resident. The only "watch-out" but by no means a negative is that the photos online make the place look much larger than it really is (but isn't this true for all real estate). All in all, we were very happy with Balsh Hideaway.

MANAGER COMMENTS:  Thanks so much Daniel.  So sorry the photos were misleading to you.  We do strive to make our listings a true representation of each property.  We'll get double checking to see what we might alter.  Thanks so much!

We had a wonderful stay at Balsh Hideaway. Everything was clean, convenient and comfortable. We enjoyed the location, in a walkable neighborhood, sledding down the side hill with available sleds. Thank you! We might like to make a suggestion- the chairs at the table were very loud and heavy creating loud screeching noises on the floor, thus a sleeping child was awakened. Perhaps a change out to more comfortable chairs, (flat wooden seats) or to add felted feet to the chairs to reduce the scrapping noises. Thank you. We look forward to returning to WinterPark again next year.

MANAGER COMMENTS:  Got it.  Thanks for the heads up on that Margery.  We'll see about quieting those loud chairs.  Please let us know when you need to plan next years stay.

We recently stayed at Balsh Hideaway for a family ski vacation. We originally booked a different unit with another lodging company, A mistake will we will not make again!  When we arrived at the place we originally booked with the other company, it was filthy to the extent we were not comfortable staying there with our children. After a lack of response from that company, we reached out immediately to Winter Park Lodging Company as we had many enjoyable experiences with them in the past. Within 45 minutes, they had found us a place, Balsh Hideaway, and had made sure it was ready to go!  We felt such a relief knowing that our family vacation wasn't going to be ruined due to substandard service of the previous lodging company. The unit itself was spacious, clean, comfortable and conveniently located yet somehow managing to be a bit secluded which was nice.  It worked well for our family and our dog and we are staying again there in a week when we come back up.  We can't thank Winter Park Lodging Company enough for your five star service and commitment to the customer experience.  You truly did save our vacation!

MANAGER COMMENTS:  Well that was all our pleasure Jill.  So pleased we could get you into a nice spot that worked well for all, including the pooch!  We are so pleased you thought of us and we hope to continue hosting memorable stays for you and your family.

We had a terrific experience working with this company. The customer service was exceptional. We found the home spotless and it met our needs perfectly. This is a comfortable, well-appointed home that was a pleasure to stay in. All the information we needed was on the app - so convenient. I highly recommend Winter Park Lodging Company

Manager Comment: Thank you for those kind words. We are glad we could give you such a great experience. Come again soon.

House was clean and ready for guests when we arrived. Everything was as advertised and anytime we reached out to the Winter Park Lodging Co. their personnel was extremely polite and accommodating. Would recommend the home and the company without any hesitation.

Manager Comment: And don't you hesitate to come back again soon for another visit!

By Laura, Posted: 04/08/2019

This house was perfect! It's not only such a cute house but has everything you need. We were even welcomed with some treats for our pups! The drive to Winter Park to ski was quick and easy. We couldn't have asked for a better place and will definitely return!

MANAGER COMMENTS:  Terrific!  We are all so pleased Balsh Hideaway worked well for you.  We would love to host you again whenever your travels bring you back this way.

Had an amazing time, service was impressive!

MANAGER COMMENTS:  So great to hear!  We appreciate you sharing that with us.  Thank you Cara.

We stayed in a beautiful home in Fraser (225 Balsh) and loved it! We have older kids and they had privacy on the lower level while my wife and I stayed in the upper level master suite. The private hot tub got plenty of use and the Winter Park shuttle "The Lift" stopped just around the corner. We will definitely be back!

MANAGER COMMENTS:  Awesome!  Thanks for sharing your stay with us Patrick.  The home is designed well for folks to have their own space.  Give us a holler when you're back this way.

By Brent, Posted: 02/24/2019

We had a great time in Fraser. Some skied and some did not making this a great place for all.

MANAGER COMMENTS:  Wonderful.  It's always fun to know when a property is fun for all to enjoy.  Please give us a call when you're back this way.

We had a special week at Balsh Hideaway. Great location close to anything and everything you want to do. The team at Winter Park Lodging was great, as always....friendly and super to deal with!!!

MANAGER COMMENTS:  Wonderful!  So pleased we could host you again John.  We look forward to next years' trip.  Enjoy your holidays!

By Matt, Posted: 11/26/2018

The hot water didn’t work at first but was fixed promptly. Also could have used garage door openers. Other than that our stay was perfect. We loved the house and the service was prompt when we needed it. We will come back

MANAGER COMMENTS:  We are pleased we could get the hot water up and running quickly for you.  Cold showers....ugh!  We would love to provide all guests with garage door openers however they tend to leave with guests, totally innocently, we know, but it gets pricey!  Hope to host you up this way again.

Terrific stand alone home in ideal location. My family enjoyed being in their own space but yet still so close to all the activities we wanted to do. Thanks to the Lodging Company for all your help and info. We'll surely return!

MANAGER COMMENTS:  Fantastic!  We are all so pleased your family enjoyed being up here in Fraser.  That ideal location is hard to beat.  Please let us know when you do come back this way.

Gorgeous new home! Fantastic kitchen and very nice, large room layouts. We were able to bring our small dog and we were so thrilled.....we know that is often hard to find in vacation rental world. Loved the location, right in the middle of everything. We will be back and will let all our friends know too. Thank you!

MANAGER COMMENTS:  That's so wonderful to hear!  We appreciate you letting us know and we'd love to host all of you (dog too) again.  Just give us a shout when the mountains call to you!
