Local highlights include walking to the golf clubhouse to eat the Pelican Lakes Resort and Golf which includes the Sand Bar (Sport Bar) and the Grillhouse or to Sol De Jalisco (Mexican). Downtown Windsor has plenty of foodie delights. The Hearth and the Windsor Mill Tavern, Howlers and Growlers for an assortment of beers and Peculiar for good eats and Chimney Park for the fancy night out. There is also Mexican, Cajun, and pubs. Summer music on Thursday nights at Park and Friday night music at the local golf club.

Great place for a family holiday!
Booked this house so my whole family (3 adult kids and 5 young grandchildren) could all could all stay in the same place. It worked perfectly. The home is large and very nice but also kid friendly with toys, a fenced yard, etc. So I didn't feel anxious about having the kids there. Host was very easy to work with and always responded within a few minutes. Would strongly recommend this house for a large family gathering with kids.

Windsong wedding
Our family from out of state was here for our daughter's wedding. The wedding took place at Windsong Estates, east of Fort Collins and your property was in a perfect location near Pelican Shores. It was easy to get to, clean and well-equipped. We also appreciated the communication prior to our arrival.
