Colorado or Croatia?
There have been some very interesting comments so far, please keep them coming. Your guesses for the location of the next home have been incredibly imaginative, and have literally ranged far and wide. And they’ve also ranged not very far at all. But I can go ahead and rule out a couple of places for you.
There are quite a few comments speculating on back-to-back homes in Colorado. Locations called out include Denver, Boulder, Frisco, Estes Park and more. One poster even suggested “a different perspective might be the house across the street” from the 2007 Winter Park home.
Even though the state features enough natural beauty and spectacular locations for dozens of HGTV Dream Homes, the 2008 home is definitely not going to be in Colorado. Plus, I think someone’s already living in that house across the street.
And in a land far, far away from Colorado, one comment suggested the next HGTV Dream Home should be a “nice villa built in Croatia.” Interesting suggestion, we’ll keep it in mind, but not this time.
Thanks again for all the comments, we look forward to seeing more in the weeks to come. And don’t forget, the 2007 HGTV Dream Home Giveaway ends this Friday, Feb. 16, and you can enter once a day for a chance to win until then.

i wish they’d pick a winner & then let them decide where to build it..as most of us working class people could not afford to quit our jobs & move to another part of the country. granted, the money to go along with the home is great but not enough. and to keep the home just for my 3 week vacation doesn’t seem feasible
I think a house in Leaky, Texas on the Frio River would be great! A nice place to go and relax with fantastic scenery in the Texas Hill Country.
How about a dream home in “The land of Enchantment”new mexico…..
I think your next house should be in the great state of Minnesota! We have basically all the looks of Colorado the snow the trees except for the huge mountains! Come on in to Minnesota you’ll love it here!
Hello HGTV… I have been a trooper and every year am confident that I will be the next Dream Home Winner…. haven’t won yet… but always confident. In reading all the comments posed on this site… I saw one that really resonated… “From Colorado to Croatia” what a GREAT idea to create a Dream Home in Paradise! Croatia is a country unlike most that I have visited… and it’s beaches and terrain are like no other. To create a European Dream Home would truly be an incredible thing! I vote for Croatia!
IT HAS TO BE IN VICTOR,ID THE NEXT UP AND COMING AREA OR MAYBE DRIGGS,ID MAYBE ONE ON TETON SPRINGS? IN VICTOR
THERE HAS ALREADY BEEN ONE IN JACKSON HOLE
I think the next Dream House should be in Croatia.
Michigan would be a wonderful location for the 2008 Dream Home. We have great display of all the seasons, our fall colors are one sight to see!!!! Please come to Michigan, HGTV!!!
I think the most perfect spot for DH08 would be Carolina Beach, NC. It’s absolutely beautiful there. We vacation there often because of it’s quiet beauty. Actually, my hubby and I talk about retiring there. So, this would move us up to retirement a little quicker!!!
I have traveled quite extensively throughout the United States and the most beautiful land I have ever seen is Napa Valley, CA. With moderate climates, the green rolling hills and the blue skies, I think a dream home there would truly be a dream!
I haven’t read all of the comments but, PA is a beautiful area. Especially State College or the surrounding areas. I like the one woman’s comment on building a home that a retired person/persons could appreciate. That would be a great idea!!!!

When looking closely at the scrabble game in the pictures of the HGTV 2007 game room the word ‘Kansas’ appears. It is the only word I can read clearly that does not pertain to Winterpark, CO. I believe this is where the HGTV 2008 home will be built – Kansas
Of course everyone who enters wishes to be the winner. Why not consider building the 2008 Dream House somewhere in the Pacific Northwest? The coast of Oregon or Washington and even parts of Idaho (the Panhandle or MCCall) offer skiing, fishing, boating, hiking, and many other opportunities for a Dream House vacation.
I just read one of the comments about Croatia. Most of people here do not know how old and how historic this place is. I suggest you to build next home in Dubrovnik, Croatia. Please visit this website web.tzdubrovnik.hr and enjoy in beautiful Adriatic Sea, one of the most popular and most beautiful places in Southern Europe. People are so friendly, most of people speak English, Italian, and German and of course our language Croatian.
I suggest Dubrovnik because of its beauty, geographic position, historycal value, Dubrovnik Riviera.
“The particularity and uniqueness of Dubrovnik is its permanent live connection to its rich past and its cultural heritage, while it keeps vibrantly in pace with contemporary life, echoing its spiritual identity and its presence in the European cultural environment.”. (Web site)
From the first clue I would guess Hawaii or Alaska – both would offer spectacular views. My next choice would be NC but she got the 2006 home. The eastern KS/MO areas offer some good landscapes – lots of beautiful scenery and lakes and ponds.
The coast of South Carolina or Georgia would be a perfect place for the 2008 Dream Home…The ocean and beautiful beaches and the mountains aren’t too far away either…
I’m not sure where the next home will be, but I know the perfect place! A beautiful town that is a favorite of mine and my husband’s. It is Beaufort, North Carolina. I know there was one in Beaufort,SC, but we love The Outer Banks and go to Beaufort before going to Cape Hatteras and Nags Head for vacations. We went there on our honeymoon. There is so much history there and just beautiful. I have enjoyed entering for the Dream Home this year, thanks for a wonderful website and TV channel! Dottie
North Carolina is beautiful any time of year. I especially love the mountains overlooking Asheboro. Here’s an idea: team up with Homes For Our Troops ( http://www.homesforourtroops.org/site/PageServer ) sometime and build an accessible home for one of the severely wounded military personnel from Iraq or Afghanistan. Just a thought.

Fancy GAP, Va would be an awesome view
How refreshing,after all the war news, to read about our beautiful country and how much people appreciate it. Anyplace in this wondrous country would be great, but I do love Sedona, AZ. And my husband thinks where we live on a small lake in Indiana is paradise.
I live in Colorado and a wonderful colorful Colorado, in the mountains where there a breathtaking views.
I think the bunnies should built a dream house in Split,Croatia.
I think the perfect spot for a dream home is in Sedona,AZ. Overlooking the beautiful awsome red rocks.

Game room inside and out? to me that would be somewhere warm. Then there was a mention of water, so that rules out Vegas. I think Florida. Maybe near Lake Okachobee. Just a thought. Good luck to all in the drawing, I would love to win this house. It would definately solve a lot of problems for me my wife and new born son. Whoever wins I just hope that they enjoy it.
I think Petoski, Michigan would be a beautiful place for the Dream Home 2008. There are beautiful forested hills right on Lake Michigan.
I THINK IT IS THE SAME SCENERY FROM A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE: THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN RANGE OR THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE. IS IT MY IMAGINATION OR IS LOUISIANA THE ONLY STATE THAT HAS NOT BEEN MENTIONED? I WOULDN’T WANT TO LIVE THERE EITHER, BUT I WOULD BET THERE IS SOME CHEAP LAND THERE. OK SO MAYBE RHODE ISLAND HASNT BEEN MENTIONED EITHER. ONE THING I DO KNOW IS WE HAVE A BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY.
I might have missed it, because I didn’t read all of the blogs, but one state that seems to have been overlooked for a Dream Home is West Virginia. The Almost Heaven state has a multitude of fantastic sites, overlooking rivers and mountains, to build a great home. And…if someone would decide to keep the home, we are only a few hours from other popular destinations, such as Washington D.C., Baltimore, MD, Pittsburgh, PA, Columbus, OH and the Carolinas.
I think the perfect place to build the 2008 HGTV DREAM HOME should be in Port Saint Lucie, Florida.
The weather is nice, the inviroment is just wonderful. You can see Nature’s beauty and Wildlife all around. Thank!
I think the perfect place to build the 2008 HGTV DREAM HOME should be in San Antonio, Texas.
The inviroment is just wonderful. You will find Historical places just about anywhere you go in SA. Well the ALAMO is one of them. Thanks!
LAS VEGAS, NV is always a good idea — maybe in South Hills. We moved here in 1990 from Southern CA and would never move back! The climate is great and there is not a more spectacular view that Las Vegas at night. There is always something to do, great places to eat 24-hours a day, fabulous spas, oodles of golf courses, skiing and winter sports close-by. An added bonus is NO state income tax.
Jekyll Island, Ga. sun,ocean,views,waterpark,historial millionairs “cottages”,outdoor theater,golf,bike trails,deep sea fishing trips, music fest on the beach..too much to mention. on the mainland in Brunswick, shop til you drop and lots more. Much to do on St.Simons Island and Sea Island just across the causeway.
A large beautiful victorian house would fit perfectly in this location as this is what the millionairs cottages are. they are now open for tours.
Mullet Lake, MI is the most beautiful area I have ever seen. A sprawling wooded lake that interlocks with rivers and neighboring lakes for the perfect boaters haven! Blue skies and starry nights galore.
I think the next Dream Home is going to be in the Pacific Northwest (Seattle/Tacoma) area. Whether in the city or on one of the many islands you have access to land, lakes, water sports, biking, hiking, snow sports, fishing,and whale watching. There is even prarie flat land in Eastern Washington. There is/are still alot of natural beauty and resources available. One of the most diverse states. What more could you ask for?
the only place that i have not seen on here is georgia
I grew up near the Little Apple…Manhattan, KS, a medium sized town with green rolling hills, lakes galore and the home of the famous Kansas State University. Where else in Kansas is there and didn’t the scrabble board mention Kansas? My preference would be on the West Coast, even the Pacific Northwest amongst the firs, ferries and friends of Kirkland, Bainbridge Island, or Seattle, WA, or how about Astoria, OR? Talk about views! From Canon Beach to Sunnyside to Astoria, breath-taking views every turn, and Seattle is still only 3 hours away. Then there is the wonderfully climatic San Diego, CA where every day is sunny and a mere 73 degrees. This country has too many places of beauty to name, let alone guess, especially when I can’t get to the Clues each day as my computer freezes every time. However, I just know the 2008 Dream Home will be situated somewhere we would never suspect and be just as spectacular as the last Dream Home and I hope to live there. I’m going to beat Cancer and I really need a new home to keep me busy. Never having one a contest or sweepstakes in my life, HGTV’s Dream Home will be the big one I WILL WIN!
Anywhere from western Mass to Northern Maine. The seasons are much too wonderful to take away.
I think the Dream Home 2008 should be built in Mobile, Alabama where there are woods to enjoy, beaches as well as places for kids and animals alike.
I think the next dream home ought to be where a lot of songs refer to: The Bluegrass State of Kentucky. I lived in Kentucky for a few years and loved every bit of it, the rolling hills, the Kentucky rains, and the history! Good, friendly people live there.
I vote ALASKA…fish, that place is KING.
you should have a house in maryland
Alaska, Alaska, Alaska. Where else is there a fish big enought to fit in the pan? (You did notice that it was a salmon right?) Besides the “mission is fishin” here. Outside (the lower 48) has had enough of the DreamHomes already we’re a state too. Hope to see it here !
How about a home at the foot of the Mable Mouintain in Quartz Valley, outside Fort Jones, California? Snow, mountain beauty. You can’t beat it, you wouldn’t want to try once you’ve seen it.

I’ve read some comments, posted mine earlier too and was really disappointed what people wrote about Croatia. That is one of the most beautiful countries in Southern Europe and they had war 1990, so that is 17 years ego Mister James, nobody is proud of having war in own country but we didn’t choose it, it happened that people attacked them, same as my country Bosnia, our own army was on the side of enemy and we defended ourselves and please do not talk if you do not know the true.

Please do not compare us with Iraq war or some places like that.
Visit the websites and see what one of the most famous places in Europe is and see the history of the Croatia, Bosnia and other former Yugoslavian countries.
Dubrovnik is one of the most beutiful cities in the world.
Just a thought but why not experience Minn.
A small town called Jackson, Mn. where life is simple and beautiful!!
I would say the next 2008 Dream home will be built in IOWA. Wild guess.
HGTV Rocksssssssssssssssssssssssss!
I know an ocean/lake view would be beautiful, the mid-West has some beautiful scenery. I’m a Hoosier and Indiana has some truely wonderful sites, lake Michigan, flatlands, rolling hills,…it’s the crossroads of this wonderful country of ours.
Indiana! Our Hoosier state is beautiful, it has lakes, rolling hills, flat lands, big cities and small towns. ‘Charming’ is the word I’d use.
I think you should build on St George Island, Florida this place is the closest place to heaven I have found on earth so far… Aaah! serenity..
