This is my 4th visit to Winter Park and I have always stayed ski in-ski out until now. Never again will I spend 3X the money for a place that is not nearly as nice as Trailhead Lodges!
Pros: granite counter tops in baths and kitchen, full size and completely functionable kitchen, your own washer and dryer right there in the condo, nice furnishing, GREAT LOCATION- blue bus lift stop is right outside the door, easy walk to Cooper Creek/Deno's/Carvers/ and the SLED HILL
Cons: the mattresses are hard, esp in the kids room. the only other con is having to either pay to store your skis on slope or carry them everyday.
Hints: if you have a child in your group you can use Willie's cab from the bus circle right to the ski school beside Gemini lift. Cab runs until 4:45 everyday. If you have to use the lift system, carry the number in your cell and call them when you are heading to a place and they will be sure you are picked up quickly. If you are going to Tubing Hill, call them as you get to the stop and they will come pick you up and you can forego the long uphill walk!!!! Finally, not much beat the sled hill outside our door for all 4 kids.... including the 17 and 15 yr olds!!! lol
Eating: have eaten at Smokin Moe's 3 times and have not been happy yet!!!!!!! LOVE Fonteneaus, Carvers for breakfast, Deno's, and Hernandos.
This condo is our new family secret!! definitely 5 of 5 stars!!!!!!!!!!! you will not be sorry! Thanks WPLC for a great stay!
