IRON HORSE RESORT:
Location and Skiing Access: The Iron Horse Resort's ski bridge to the Corridor Run is located outside the 5th floor, half way between the base of Mary Jane ski area and the base of Winter Park. Skiers ski out, down the Corridor Run to the main Zephyr lift at the base of Winter Park and ski in from the base of Mary Jane. In the Spring, Summer, and early Fall the Corridor is usually a dry walking path, with easy access to the Winter Park base area.
The Iron Horse Resort is actually IN the Arapahoe National Forest! The property is surrounded by tall pines - which can be seen in the pictures posted for this unit. The location offers seclusion from traffic and the base area - with the Winter Park base area just one-third of a mile (one-half a kilometer) away.
The Iron Horse is a true resort offering a fully-enclosed, secure parking garage, an indoor-outdoor pool, two oversized outdoor hot tubs, spa facilities, a complete fitness center with TV, adjacent, fully-equipped locker rooms with HOT, clean steam rooms, garage parking, and an on-site ski shop - including equipment rentals and all kinds of Winter gear and clothing.
THE SKI AREA:
Colorado is famous for its its amazing array of skiing options. Winter Park offers three main peaks, with a total skiable area of 3,060 acres for downhill skiing, snowboarding, and even some runs available for ski-biking at night! There are 143 trails available to skiers of all ability levels. Winter Park usually gets much more snow than most other ski areas in the state.
The Mary Jane ski area - which is connected to the Winter Park area - has some of the best mogul skiing in North America, and terrain that is perfect for intermediate to advanced skiers.
Winter Park is a town that has very comfortable, relaxed, authentic feel. A wide variety of restaurants are available, ranging from the basics, like McDonalds and Subway, to mid-scale bistros and brewpubs, to fine dining. Great barbecue, handcrafted pizzas, gourmet hot dogs, steaks, seafood, and Asian foods can all be found in downtown Winter Park. La Collina Restaurant - open at Iron Horse during the Winter ski season - consistently receives very positive reviews from its guests.
SUMMERTIME ACTIVITIES:
Surrounded by the Arapahoe Forest, Iron Horse has a very pleasing setting for summertime visits. Gas grills and outdoor chairs and tables are available for Iron Horse guests. There is an attractive gazebo adjacent to a pond, with a brook running through the property.
The Winter Park area is a great place to escape the heat of the summer, while engaging in a range of casual to extreme outdoor activities. Great hiking, biking, and running trails abound, for all levels of personal fitness - with easy access from Iron Horse. The area offers opportunities for nature hikes, wildlife viewing, and photography. The base area of Winter Park offers chair lift rides and chair lifts for exciting, hair-raising mountain biking, as well as miniature golf, disc golf, climbing walls, and the longest Alpine Slide in the state. Several excellent golf courses are nearby, giving golfers a chance to hit the longest drives in their lives, since the altitude is over 9,000 feet! Water-related sports and activities include boating, sailing, river rafting, kayaking, fresh water fishing, ice fishing, fly fishing, and hot springs pools. Hiking, horseback riding, rock climbing are available. A new bowling alley and 2-plex movie theater - The Foundry - opened in Winter Park in July 2012. Rocky Mountain National Park is nearby offering additional hiking, sightseeing, stream and lake fishing, nature and wildlife viewing, picnics, and other outdoor activities. At an elevation of almost two miles, Winter Park is a great summertime destination for activities ranging from EXTREME relaxation to EXTREME workouts - which could include training at high altitude in order to achieve a personal best in a 10K run, biking events, a triathlon, half marathon, marathon or ultramarathon - especially for events that are held at lower altitudes!
Great place to stay. Very nice, small unit. Owner was very clear on instructions. Easy ski in and out with ski lockers. We had 4 adults in our party and that was a little too many since it is a studio.
This was the perfect spot for me and my husband for 3.5 days of skiing in Winter Park. We cooked most meals (we didn't have a car so brought groceries with us from Denver), enjoyed the proximity to the mountain, and Bob was great.
We had a wonderful time. The location was perfect and we enjoyed being on the 1st floor near the pool. It was very quiet and close to the amenities. The garage parking is also an added bonus. Condo was cozy and had everything we needed and the patio was an added bonus. Great time!
Were able to park and play, didn't have to get back in the car until vacation ended - ski in/ski out, recreate on site, walk to to village - relaxing, easy and fun.
Perfect location for a quick ski trip. We enjoyed the easy access to the mountain and the hot tub.
Bob's place is fantastic. Great location - perfect for a small family (we were 3). The condo has everything you would want and the location is unbeatable - parking under the building, easy access to the slopes, super close to the pool and hot tubs, a short walking distance to the little ski village. All the kitchen amenities you would need. Bob was incredibly responsive to all of our questions. We would definitely stay here again! Can't recommend more highly.
Studio condo was the perfect size for the two of us (husband & wife). Condo was clean and functional. Kitchen adequately stocked to cook meals. We liked that condo was on first floor of building C right off the elevator and next to the access to hot tubs. Building was pretty empty of guests during our stay, so noise was not an issue. Communication with owner was good too. And check-in was a breeze.
The condo was in a great location, convenient to the slopes and the village. The property is older but maintained, I’d definitely stay again.
Wonderful experience and property, would definitely stay again!
Property had everything we needed. No concerns!
Bob was great with answering our questions once we arrived. This is our kind of resort for skiing and the on-site ski rental was awesome too. Parking inside under the property was a treat. Kids loved it very much.
