Map & Owner's Profile
Private Home W/Hot Tub in Old Town!
Year Purchased: 1993
Why the Owner Chose Private Homes, Old Town
Judy spent many years volunteering for the Winter Park Handicapped Ski Program and fell in love with the Winter Park/Mary Jane ski area and the town of Winter Park. The neighborhood of "Old Town Winter Park" is particularly special as it is extremely close to the ski area, but without the crowds and close quarters of the lodging located right at the base.
The Unique Benefits at this House
A few of our favorite places included Shipwreck Landing North for food and drinks, Alpine Sun for ski rentals and repairs, summertime walks with the dogs along the creek bike path into town.
We always stop in to visit at this great restaurant and very friendly bar! Fish 'n chips are out of this world, and the painkiller is made with fresh spices!
Rent equipment or get yours tuned up - Frank, Gigi, and the kids will take care of you! Reserve online at www.skialpinesun.com for a discount.
Owner's Map of Private Homes, Old Town
We are a mother-daughter team, working together to share the beauty, peace, and joy of the SkiInn and Winter Park with others. Judy leads a very busy life "down the hill" in Boulder, where she works as a therapist and runs a food bank. Jenni now lives in California, pursuing a new career in Marine Biology, but returns to Colorado many times every year and always includes a trip to the SkiInn as part of her visit back home.
Generally, your initial contact will be with Jenni for dates, rates, and other information, but Judy will be more than happy to talk with you about anything and everything! Want to know the best sequence of lifts and runs on the mountain? The history of the Moffat Tunnel? Where to find really great and inexpensive lasagna? She knows all this, and more!

LOVED the Ski Inn!!

The house was wonderful! So beautiful and the scenery was gorgeous! We had 6 people in our party and our little 3lb dog. The house fit us all perfectly! The kitchen was very accommodating for cooking large meals and even had what we needed to whip up a birthday cake! The hot tub was such a nice added bonus. We enjoyed our week at the Ski Inn and we can't wait to come back!!!!

Judy & Jenni are wonderful to rent from. We went up for a family vacation between Christmas and New Years 2011. There wasn't as much snow as we expected, so we spent quite a bit of time in the house -- with 6 adults and 2 kids, we had plenty of space and were able to have a wonderful time together. The kitchen also worked great for us to have our annual family 'cooking competition' -- a wonderful experience all around. Steps to the mountain and minutes from both Winter Park and Fraser, the location couldn't be better. Highly recommended!
Owner response:Thanks so much Jason and family. We love to provide a home away from home for families just like you all! And guess what- I also love to cook in my kitchen in WP -much more than I do at home. Turn on the stereo or watch the latest Glee DVD and cook away to my hearts content. I bake bread up there often - make sure you look at the U tube - "4 year old makes bread". Fun and delicious. - Please come back anytime. Take care, Judy and Jenni

I went up with my family for a Thanksgiving getaway and had an amazing time at the Ski Inn. The house completely felt like home and was a great place for all of us to sit around and hang out each night. With it being so close to Winter Park Village, we enjoyed being so close to skiing and snowshoeing. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you would need to cook and was open enough that even while cooking you were still involved with everyone in the main area of the house. We would go back to the Ski Inn in an instant as it is a great place for a Winter Park getaway!

My Favorite Place in Winter Park

I have stayed in this home for over 18+ years and it is my most favorite. When you drive up to the Ski Inn it gives you a since of coming home. It is very accommodating and comfortable.It gives you all your home amenities. My grand kids loved it! It is close enough to the Winter Park Resort to walk. It's no far from town. The views off the decks are beautiful!. Relaxing in the hot tub and looking out onto the mountains, you've never seen a more beautiful view. I can not say enough about the Ski Inn, the 18+ years I have been staying there should tell the story. We have enjoyed some awesome times and have awesome memories. If you are looking for a place that resembles home, stay at the Ski Inn House. You will not be disappointed.

A great time was had by all. Great location with lots to do over the Labor Day weekend. The house was lacking in nothing. We enjoyed grilling out and relaxing in front of the fire place. We all enjoyed the hot tub under the stars. We will definitely be back for the ski season.

This was my second stay at Winter Park for skiing. My first stay was at the Zephyr Mountain Lodge and I have to say Ski Inn was a much more pleasant experience. We had six people in our group and no one had even the slightest negative comment about this place! It is close to the slopes so you could walk a few blocks or catch the bus as we did. We never waited more than 5-8 minutes on the bus. We loved that the kitchen was equipped with pots, pans, glasses, etc. We had a couple home cooked meals and sat by the fireplace. Also, the hot tub is a major plus after a hard day on the slopes! Definitely recommend the Ski Inn to any travelers heading to Winter Park, Colorado!

We used Labor Day weekend for a family getaway to Winter Park. Ski Inn was perfect! There were 6 adults and 2 small children - we had plenty of beds and room. Loved the kitchen/dining area with the 'eat up bar'. The hot tub was a great addition! The house was very clean, well supplied, and in great shape! The management company was very helpful in answering questions prior to our trip. We brought our bikes and enjoyed the paved trail to the town of Winter Park & to the Ski Village. The paved trail is about 2 blocks from Ski Inn. We would definately consider Ski Inn for another weekend & would recommend it to anyone!! Thank you!!

We are from the Denver area and were looking for a weekend away. We had a great time and this house was perfect for our group. There were 6 of us including the dog. It was great to be able to bring him along. There was enough space for a few more of us and the location is perfect. Walked to the ski area base and took short drives into the town. We would stay again if we were heading to that area.

Judy - Your house was everything we could have asked for! The views from the back deck were breathtaking, and the location was ideal for exploring the Winter Park/Frasier area. There were 9 of us, and the layout and size of the home were perfect. The kids enjoyed the nearby alpine slide in the Winter Park Resort, and the hot tub was a welcome addition. My family has stayed in many homes from VRBO, and this was the most well-stocked one we have been in. You truly thought of everything, and it really felt like our home away from home. Thanks, Judy, for loaning us your home and for your generous hospitality!!

We stayed here the week between Christmas and New Years 08. We had a large party of 14, the house was probably a little too small for our large gang but we had a great time anyway. Perfect location, hot tub enjoyed by all. We really appreciated being able to bring along the 4 legged family members! Thanks Judy for lots of family fun we'll stay again if we have a smaller group.
