Check Out Our Favorite Mountain Biking Trails!

Put Some Mountains in Your Biking! 

Summer days equate to summer rides for us!

With over 600 miles of cross-country trails in the Fraser Valley alone and world-class downhill trails at both Winter Park Resort and Granby Ranch, it's easy to find the perfect route for anything from your epic 30-mile adventure or a quick loop on your lunch break. 

While we both love exploring the extensive trail system, we each have our favorite "go-to" rides. Leah makes getting out on the Tipperary Creek trail a habit as she can easily ride to the trailhead from right out her back door. This…

Why Having a Local Realtor is Key

 The Importance of a Local Realtor: Being Present, Involved, and Informed Matters 

Just yesterday, someone stopped me in the courtyard below our office in downtown Winter Park to ask me about a coffee shop that sells fudge he’d read about, and I easily directed him toward the new coffee shop by Winter Park’s transit center, The Lift. It’s hard to count the number of times I’ve been asked, “Do you live here?” followed by questions that typically only someone who does can answer: Is this the way to the Blue Sky trailhead? Where’s the best sushi place around here? Is there dispersed camping by that lake? Do you know if there will be any outdoor live music this summer? I’m in the same boat when visiting somewhere new–I seek out locals who know their…

Local Look: Tabernash Honey Co.

Right in Our Backyard: Bee-Loved by Locals + Visitors Alike 

Keeping bees and harvesting honey in the High Rockies is no easy feat, but our friends at Tabernash Honey Company happily accept the challenge. With close to 300 hives, they devote themselves to caring for their bees in all kinds of weather conditions (like the snowstorms that just rolled through in late May!) because they are able to produce honey that is not only healthy and flavorful but also uniquely local to Grand County.

They've been busy getting their hives ready for the summer for what they've dubbed the "bee-son" for honey-making. Their passion for what they do is infectious, and there is no better way to get in on the fun than scheduling an hour-long hive tour. Learn about their…

Buying Land in Grand County

Thinking of Buying Land?

What to Know and Consider When Purchasing Undeveloped Property

With the current shortage of homes for sale in the area, buying land has become even more enticing. Whether you're considering an investment in land or looking for the site of your future dream home, purchasing undeveloped property certainly has its benefits.

As the area grows in population and vacation homes, the available acreage for building remains the same. Not only is land a strong investment, should you choose to build, constructing your home from the ground up gives you the ability to create the…
