Location: Zephyr Mountain Lodge, Winter Park, Winter Park Area, Northwest, Colorado, USA (right at the base of the mountain) View Map
Accommodations: Condo, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths (Sleeps 6-8)
Keywords: Condominium
Newly renovated- We just installed granite counters, new paint and lighting and carpet. Zephyr Lodge has also renovated all hallways and lobbies.
Also just put flat screen tvs in every room (46" in living room) and added a couch.
Key differences in comparing our condo to others:
Our condo is:
1. 25% larger than most 2 bedrooms-note distance from fireplace to back window
2. Is a penthouse with vaulted celings.
3. Has more real beds 2 Kings (King and Queen in 1 room, King in the other + sofa sleeper + crib)
4. Has a larger deck.
5. Is in the slopeside building which has direct ski-in out access. We are THE closest bldg to slopes in all of WP. Look at a ski map.
6. Has been renovated and updated
7. You are guaranteed of where you will be. Going through the lodge you may end up with a 1st floor unit looking at construction.
8. Is quiet because it's an end unit
NOTE: for 2010 the new base village is complete. However this means that if you do not stay at the base you will have to :
drive to upper parking lot (10 min), change (10 min) walk to new gondola that goes from lot to start of new village (5 min), wait for gondola (5 min), walk from gondola through village just to get to Zephyr. ( 5 min). It can add at least half an hour each way. OR you can stay at the zephyr roll out of bed and ski (no walking) to zephyr lift.
Or wait and take shuttle bus (20 min) to start of new village and walk 5 min to zephyr.
Even if you stay at the base there is still a walk from any base building to the zephyr lift. Ours (slopeside) is the only bldg you can ski down to the lift with no walking at all. See photo and look at ski map.
How can it get any better?! Zephyr Mountain Lodge is the only property located in the center of the action at the base of Winter Park Ski Area. Hence it's the only true ski-in-out (no cat walks). Built in 2000, it's also a newer property. Hallways, common areas, lobbies have all been completely renovated in 2009. So why should you rent from us?
Convenience-convenience. You don't want to waste time on your vacation and ski-in-out is the way to go. The lift is literally outside the door (110 feet away). We are in the Slopeside building so you can literally ski right to the door. For the Riverside, fraser or founders building (not us) you have to walk a little bit.Think of it-drop the kids off at ski school then walk back, stop at Starbucks, and leisurely put on your skis while everybody else walks from their car.
Too warm? Go back and shed a layer. Two feet of powder and you can't wait for the slow pokes to get ready? Just go and meet them in a few runs. Hungry? Go back for lunch, take off your boots, relax. If somebody in your group gets tired just send them back while you ski. If you drive or take a shuttle it adds at least 20-30 minutes each way and you still have to walk with skis and take everything with you. Since you go as a group, you end up wasting time waiting for people. You get a lot more skiing done with a ski-in/out Condo. The rental shops are right there as well.
Larger is better. Our unit is a Penthouse end unit. It has vaulted ceilings and its quiet. There is nobody next to you, above you, or even across the hall. At 1100 square feet it is larger than a standard two bedroom which is 868 square foot. Most two bedrooms at the Zephyr have only enough room for one bed in each room. Our unit has a king and a queen in one room and a king in the other with space left over for a crib or mattress. Our balcony is also larger. Of course you also have access to four hot tubs, a fitness center, private ski lockers, a game room and heated underground parking.
Internet access- We have internet access in the condo. Just hook up an ethernet cord to your laptop and you're good to go.
As you are renting directly from the owners we offer discounted rates and try to be reasonable. If you find a lower rate through the Lodge we will beat it.
The best reason to rent from us? We can tell you all about the secret powder stashes, glades, where to avoid crowds and icy spots and just how to ski the mountain.
Still not decided about Winter Park? Winter Park consistently gets more snow on a daily basis than resorts in Summit county. Mary Jane has the best bumps in the nation. You can ski for days without doing the same line. There's glade skiing (improved this year), above tree line skiing, hike to adventure skiing in the Cirque. Of course there's plenty of cruisers and the ski school is great. There is a separate learning area for beginners with magic carpets. There is fantastic cross country skiing at YMCA Snow Mountain Ranch and Devil's thumb and some of the best snowmobiling too. It the summer there are mountain bike trails galore (500 miles) and Rocky Mountain National Park is close by. At the base there is an alpine slide, trampoline, mini golf, chairlift rides, hiking and a human maze. This year Winter Park has added lifts and done many improvements.
NEW- For 2006-7 season Winter Park has installed a new lift going to backside Parsenn. NEW for 2007-8 new quad lift to top of Timberline from Sunnyside. 2010 - new base village complete with more shops and restaurants

We only stayed one night and had a great time. The condo very comfortably slept 6 of us, and 8 would have easily worked. The ski locker was great not having to shlep all the equipment around. The free parking can't be beat - again, no carrying equipment all around, riding trams and buses. Dave the owner was easy to work with. I would recommend this property to a friend or relative and I already tried to rebook the property.
Recommended for:Tourists without a car, people with disabilities, sightseeing, adventure seekers, girls getaway, age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers.

We stayed at this property back in March, and you just cannot beat the location. True ski-in ski-out, everything within reach. We have 3 adults and a baby and the condo is very spacious for us. Can easily accommodate 6 adults and plus. Owner David is also very helpful. Might come back next year.

Thanks David for all your help assuring a great ski vacation! The condo was a great fit for our group of 6 adults and 2 young children. The location was perfect for ski in/out so Mommy could pop back into the condo to check on Grandma and the baby. Very easy access up the mountain via Zephyr lift and back to the condo via the Corridor run from the Mary Jane side. If you come back to the condo from the WP side you end up having to walk 50 yds up to the building entrance. The Winter Park base/village is right at the lodge front door so its just steps to anything you might need. Lift tickets, lesson sign-up and rental is within the same building, so that could not be more convenient. All the details and pictures of the condo are perfectly accurate. I've rented many ski condos across the US and Canada and this one rates at the top of my list for being "well stocked" with everything you need to feed and keep a large group happy and comfortable for a week. If you are bringing your laptop(s) and/or ipod touch (or other internet devices), I recommend bringing a small wireless router to hook up to the single internet port in the kitchen. I brought one along so all our devices were able to be connected concurrently.
Owner response:Thx Dan. I'm probably going to get a wireless router this summer. Also if you take the triple chair up and ski down hughs then you can still ski to the building.
Recommended for:Families with young children.

Thank you David and Mai. Your condo helped make our July vacation truly memorable. We used the unit as a perfectly positioned home base for day trips to Grand Lake, Estes Park, and the Rocky Mountain National Park among other locations. We were fortunate enough to see Elk and Moose during drives through the National Park. We watched a mama bear with her two cubs passing through the circle drive below our balcony one evening. And nearly strolled right into a cow moose and calf while walking the trail directly across the highway from your unit.We spent one entire day taking advantage of all the activities to do right there at the resort. It was on this day that I learned what happens if you go too fast on the Alpine Slide. Still healing. The layout of the penthouse worked great with the kids in one bedroom and a bathroom just outside their door. And my wife and I on the other side in the master bedroom with the large master bath. Great location! Great penthouse! Great vacation! Thanks

We just got back and had a GREAT time! The condo was beautiful and the decor perfect. Incredible amounts of space for a two bedroom condo. The Zephyr lift is so close, I can almost hit it with a rock. The view from the huge deck is stunning because you are on the top floor. We biked and hiked everyday and returned to a great dinner in this beautiful home each night. We would highly recommend this place!

David is awesome. He helped us out in so many ways I can't list them all. Their condo is fabulous and nothing in his description is overstated. We had a great time and this will be the first unit I check next time I go!
