Barb Posted December 7, 2011 Report Posted December 7, 2011 I said I would never buy another place near a ski resort, well never say never. I sold a property in NJ and if I bought another "investment" property I would save a lot of taxes. So that's what I did. I just settled on it last week and am still getting it furnished etc. I'm using a property management company to rent it but they haven't got it up on their site yet since I have no pictures (of it furnished). I'm including a link from the previous owner's homeaway site. If any pasr's are interested in renting it I would offer a 20% discount, but not for prime time (holidays, March etc). If you are interested contact me directly. Since I already signed my son up for the race team at Eldora I am not even telling my kids about this until later. I have spent enough money on season passes this year and do not plan on buying one to WP. So I would like to rent it out this season as much as possible and make some money. http://www.homeaway.com/vacation-rental/p7129933h 4 Quote
nick malozzi Posted December 7, 2011 Report Posted December 7, 2011 Barb, I'll def be down to take advantage of that. I'd love to do a weekend up there with the misses where we don't have to fight our way back to Denver each night. Also, congrats on the new purchase(s). You're really living the Colorado Dream! Quote
JFskiDan Posted December 7, 2011 Report Posted December 7, 2011 i find it hilarious that you are keeping it a secret from your kids. place looks really cool, Barb. congrats. Quote
PASKIINGSUCKS Posted December 7, 2011 Report Posted December 7, 2011 haha cool, my buddy is working at eldora. Interested if I make it out there this year for sure as I'm not looking to stay in longmont with friends. Quote
AngryHugo Posted December 7, 2011 Report Posted December 7, 2011 congratulations! the house looks great! can I have the room with the moose lamp? Quote
Kyle Posted December 7, 2011 Report Posted December 7, 2011 congrats on the new place barb. looks extremely nice. Quote
Barb Posted December 7, 2011 Author Report Posted December 7, 2011 (edited) @AngryHugo-The whole "moose" bear, elk, even Indian with horses decor is why I graciously declined to "buy" most of their furniture from them. I think they went to every yard sale they could find and bought something with a moose on it. I did have them throw in the two upstairs bedroom sets and sadly one does have tin moose cutouts on the headboard (ewww). @JFskiDan-It is getting harder to keep the secret since its mine now. But I know as soon as I take them up there they will not want to be going to Eldora and Loveland. @Nick-any time your interested send me a PM. And yes, I can definitely say I have no regrets about moving to Co. I have no idea why I stayed in NJ so long now I know what places like this have to offer. Edited December 7, 2011 by Barb Quote
AtomicSkier Posted December 7, 2011 Report Posted December 7, 2011 awesome barb! what are the published rates (pre discount) ? Quote
Barb Posted December 7, 2011 Author Report Posted December 7, 2011 Jeff-I told the property manager to price it low enough so it rents a lot. The only rate he told me so far is Christmas week (I'm racing to be ready by then). $375 per night. This is the most expensive week and rates will go down from there. If you look on vrbo type in Winter Park, all the developments come up. Click "Sawmill Station" and see what people are charging. Some people charge crazy amounts like $600 per night for Christmas week. I want it to rent so I'm not gonna get greedy. Next season when I want to use it more often maybe I'll raise the rates a bit. It will sleep 11 when I'm done furnishing it. If you get a decent group of people its not that expensive. Quote
phillycore Posted December 7, 2011 Report Posted December 7, 2011 Looks a lot nicer than the hostel I stayed at while in Winter Park, then again that was $30 a night and I'm poor... = ) Congrats Barb.... I too think it's funny (as in ha ha, not strange just to clarify) that you are keeping it a secret from the kids, but I absolutely LOVE the fact that you have the will power to do so!! I wouldn't be able to myself....lol Quote
JFskiDan Posted December 7, 2011 Report Posted December 7, 2011 @JFskiDan-It is getting harder to keep the secret since its mine now. But I know as soon as I take them up there they will not want to be going to Eldora and Loveland. i find it funny because my parents did the same thing with me with their place in vermont. they bought it way after i was long gone from their house so it was much easier to do. i think they wanted to make sure they were not making a huge mistake or sometihing before they told me. i doubt you will regret buying it. Real estate is cool... Quote
