Great Winter Park Condo!

Guest: Vegas (Las vegas, NV)
Date of Stay: 06/24/10 Review Submitted: 07/13/10

We stayed at the Condo during the summer months with our kids for the alpine slides. The condo was clean and very nicely decorated. The beds were very comfortable and the sheets were just like home with high thread counts! Only downsides were that the lights on the beautiful hotel deck on the third floor were out the entire time and no one could tell us when they would be fixed. We wanted to hot tub at night and were unable. Also, the room is quite a walk from the elevator! We would, however, stay there again. :)

Owner response:The lights around the hot tub have been an issue for the last few weeks, but the electrician has finally found the problem now, and the lights have now been repaired. The condo is not right next to the elevator, which makes it very quite and more private, especially with late night traffic.

A Very Nice Condo - but not exactly ski-in / ski-out

Guest: kjm4321 (Winchester, UK)

This condo is quite new, is fully equipped as described and is stylishly decorated and furnished. It is located near the base lift and other amenities but is NOT what I would call ski-in / ski-out. A walk of around 300 metres carrying skis is required from the condo to the base lift. We only needed to use the main beds which were comfortable. Parking is provided on the ground floor of the block and is easily accessed using the room key card. I would certainly recommend this property for all except those who wish to take off their skis and walk straight into the front door.

Owner response:The walk to the first lift is about 2 minutes, and is about as close as you can get, based on on the layout of the ski village. Wagon's are also available for toting your equipment, which normally are waiting for you right outside the front door lobby.

Winter Park Luxury Condo

I enjoyed my stay at the condo and was very impressed the accommodations. The view of the mountain was great. The only suggestion I have is to add a television in the second bedroom, and mirrors in both bedrooms (the bathroom became crowded with all of us in the bathroom mirror trying to style out hair). I was a little disappointed with the restaurant options on the mountain. I did not enjoy the food at Lime and the other restaurants stop serving and close fairly early. The facility books were very helpful in informing us of the activities available there. We enjoyed the snowmobiling and tubing. Overall the condo was cozy, and well maintained. I would stay there again and recommend it to friends.

The condo was new, clean, and beautiful. Great location across the street from the lifts. Great view from the balcony. We had all the amenities we could ever think to ask for. Check in/out was easy and the whole process of reserving the condo went smoothly. Dave answered all of my questions promptly. I will definitely be coming back to Winter Park, and staying in Founders Pointe.

skiing vacation

We had the best skiing vacation ever! The apartment was impeccably clean, extremely convenient location...true ski-in/ski-out, and very comfortable. Winter Park provides diverse skiing for all levels and we had snow up to our ears...our party had different skiing abilities and we all had a great time. The ski locker was great and the unit was really close to the stairs. Having the car in a secure warm place was a big plus also. The kitchen was fully equipped and helped us save money and eat healthy. The beds and towels were really plush and the view was great. This place is really well kept and makes you feel right at home, loved it!

Wonderful stay

My family enjoyed a wonderful stay at this condo. The unit was every bit as good as advertised. We had 6 people with us so each night one couple had to sleep on the sleeper sofa which could be a little thicker but it was okay. The two bedrooms were awesome. Very comfortable beds and terrific views. Both bathrooms were very nice. The living room and dining area were very spacious. We really enjoyed playing some Wii at night. They also have tons of DVDs if you are looking for one day to just to chill. There are several great restaurants in Fraser just a few mintues down the road. We picked up some groceries at the Safeway in Fraser and used the well-stocked kitchen to cook a few meals too. The location is ideal. You only have to walk across the street and through the Zephyr Lodge and you are on the slopes. Less than 100 yards. The hot tub was also a nice touch to help relax at night. If you are going to be using rental skis I would recommend going to Liftopia.com and purchase your lift tickets and rentals together because you save a ton of money and its super convenient to be able to rent right at the base of the mtn instead of having to drive into town. One thing I would recommend to anyone is to go snowmobiling at Grand Adventures which is just two miles down the road. To finish I would recommend this condo for anyone looking for a perfect spot to launch a ski vacation in winter or hiking/biking trip in the summer.

condo close to base of WinterPark

Guest: Stowite (Stow, Ohio)
Date of Stay: 01/03/10 Review Submitted: 01/10/10

The unit we rented was spacious, clean and newly decorated. It had an awesome view of the mountain and the resort village. The convenience for the skiiers to ski in and ski out was very much appreciated. They were able to go skiing in the morning, come back for lunch, and then head back out for an afternoon of skiing. The ski locker on the street level was very convenient as well. The kitchen was fully furnished with nice appliances, a large set dishes, pots and pans, glassware, spices, etc., making eating in a convenience as well. Having an icemaker in the refrigerator was a major plus. There were also many amenities provided, such as toilet paper, paper towels, klennex, dish and hand soap, dishwasher detergent and laundry detergent. The description says this unit can sleep 8.......which, in my opinion, is impossible. One bedroom has a king bed, the other a queen and then there is a sleeper sofa in the living room. A maximum of 6 adults can sleep in this unit....and that's even pushing it. This unit has many advantages, but there are a few inconveniences that I believe have just been overlooked by the owner. Dressers in both bedrooms are WAY TOO small to store the amount of clothes one needs to take for a week of skiing. There are no mirrors and no wastebaskets in the bedrooms. Not enough towel racks or hooks to hang wet towels, bathing suits, etc. Though there were 8 sets of bath towels and wash clothes, there was only one hand towel in each bathroom. More handtowels would have been helpful. On a housekeeping note, the unit smells of cigarette smoke. Can't tell if the owner, other renters or housekeeping are smoking in the unit, but the deordorizer in the unit does not cover up the smell. Even the glassware and bed linens smelled of cigarette smoke. Just a side note; the location of this unit is VERY far from the elevator taken from the lobby, but close to a set the stairs that takes 3 flights to get to the unit from the garage.

Owner response:We always appreciate feedback and areas that need improvement from our guests.We have now added a small waste basket in each of the bedrooms, and some additional hooks in the bathrooms. I have also instructed our housekeeper to add more hand towels for the future. The light smoke smell came from the prior guest that had burned some blackeyed peas in a pan, and has now been cleaned. The unit can sleep up to 8 people, since it also a portable crib for an infant, and a folding bed cushion for the floor for an additional child. Although the unit is down the hall from the elevator, it is also much quieter then many of the other units, since the elevators can get very loud, especially late at night from guests.
