Winter Park Escapes

Fifteen Women, One Mountain Home, and the Magic of Winter Park – Winter Park Escapes

There are trips you plan… and then there are experiences that feel like they were waiting for you.

Tucked into the breathtaking beauty of Colorado’s Rocky Mountains, a group of fifteen women arrived at one stunning luxury home through Winter Park Escapes—a place where space, warmth, and mountain elegance set the tone for something unforgettable. Designed for gathering, the home offered expansive living areas, cozy fireplaces, and the kind of views that make you pause mid-conversation just to take it all in.

From the moment the host, Sarah Smyth walked in, it wasn’t just a stay—it was about to be an incredible, elevated and shared experience.

A Home That Becomes the Heart of the Weekend-

The home wasn’t simply a place to sleep—it became the center of connection.

Mornings started slowly, coffee in hand, wrapped in blankets as sunlight filtered over the mountains. Laughter echoed through the kitchen as breakfasts turned into long conversations. Evenings brought everyone together again—wine poured, music playing softly, stories shared in a way that only happens when women feel both safe and inspired.

Luxury homes like this Roam Custom River Home are designed for exactly that—bringing people together in comfort while surrounded by nature. Winter Park Escapes specializes in these elevated stays, offering high-end properties with thoughtful amenities and seamless services that turn a getaway into something extraordinary.

Discovering the Magic of Winter Park

Beyond the home, Winter Park unfolded like a storybook.

The group explored scenic trails, wandered through town, and embraced both adventure and stillness. Winter Park is known for its year-round experiences—from outdoor recreation to charming local spots—and offers something for every kind of traveler.

Some women chased adventure—uphill skiing, exploring, and breathing in the crisp mountain air. Others leaned into rest—quiet walks, hot tubbing, and moments of reflection.

To start the weekend, Tommy Knocker Brewery sent us a welcome beer.

Then, Ski Butler picked up all the equipment and stored it at the base of the resort for early morning no-hassle skiing.

Idlewild Spirits IS an absolute town and state favorite, making sure the ladies had cocktails to share.

The owner of Big Trout Brewery stopped by the property to share how incredible their beer is with every detail and intention on being one of the cleanest beer in the nation.

Followed by the owners of Hernandos Pizza Pub bringing pizza and sharing their story about being a local business.

Epic Mountain Sports made the day extra special with providing gear and skis.

Mountain Threads of Golden, CO, kept the ladies warm, providing jackets and bandeaus.

Together, they found balance between relaxation, activities, and fun with all the companies that jumped in to assist.

The RAD Partner Experience: Where Local Businesses Shine

What made the trip even more special was the access to the RAD (Rentals, Attractions, Discounts) Partner Program—a thoughtfully curated network of local businesses that elevate every stay.

Through this program, the women experienced Winter Park not just as visitors, but as welcomed guests of the community.

They gathered over craft cocktails and laughter at local favorites while being transported by Home James, a local taxi company. https://www.ridehj.com/ making sure they safely made their way to Fraser Valley Distillery, Pepe Osakas Fish Taco, and finally to Devils Craft to watch a band sponsored by Blues From the Top

ALL of these local companies ensured the ladies embraced the vibrant food, beverage nightlife and mountain scene that makes Winter Park so unique. A HUGE thank you to how wonderful they are.

From breweries offering special pairings to wellness providers bringing relaxation directly to the home, the RAD partners created moments that felt curated, intentional, and deeply enjoyable. Guests of Winter Park Escapes gain access to exclusive perks like discounted dining, spa services, and local experiences—making every day feel elevated and effortless.

It wasn’t just about savings—it was about connection. Each business shared a piece of the town’s personality, creating a richer, more meaningful stay.

A Celebration of Women, Connection, and Place

There’s something powerful about fifteen women gathering in one space.

Different stories. Different paths. But for a few days, a shared space.

They supported each other, laughed until it hurt, and created memories that would outlast the trip itself. The home gave them the space. The town gave them the backdrop. And the experience gave them something deeper—a reminder of what connection feels like when life slows down.

A Special Thank You

This experience was made even more seamless through the support and collaboration of the local community.

A heartfelt thank you to the Winter Park Chamber, https://www.playwinterpark.com/ for their assistance in bringing together such an incredible network of businesses and experiences. Their dedication to supporting local partnerships and showcasing the very best of Winter Park is what makes moments like this possible.
