Walk to Winter Park Lifts - Private Hot Tub - Pet Friendly - Custom Duplex

Nestled in the pines and surrounded by soaring peaks, Winter Walk is a vintage chalet with easy access to all of the activities at the Winter Park base. One of the few pet friendly properties that offers close to the slope convenience with the ambiance of a private ski lodge. You'll be a 1/3 mile hike or bike to the base area and with world class skiing, snowboarding, mountain biking, hiking, and forest service trail access. When you're done, come back home, kick back on the living room sofa(with views of the ski area runs) then relax in your private 6 person hot tub. Winter Walk offers custom wood finishes, gas fireplace, and views of the ski slopes and surrounding mountains from virtually every window.

First, you will find 4 dedicated parking spaces, 2 are covered. We also provide a 50 amp RV outlet (NEMA 14-50) so guests can charge their electric vehicles on the property. The entry way is a mud room with tile floors, bench seating, and plenty of pegs and shelves for stowing your gear. We also provide bowls for your pooch and extra dog food just in case. Next is the spa room with a private 6 person indoor hot tub, cedar wood storage/changing room, shower, sink, toilet, and stacked washer and dryer.

The next floor up is the kitchen, living room, master bedroom and private bathroom. Enjoy the family size farmers table or the 4 seat bar for your next meal. Cozy up on the leather recliner sofa, next to the high efficiency gas fireplace for unencumbered views of the ski area's signature runs. Our side deck is covered (protected from the snow) with a Weber gas grill. Around the corner is a huge wraparound trex deck with plenty of outdoor seating and a dining area for warm weather months.

The third floor has another bedroom and the bunk room (with a full on the bottom and twin bed on top) along with a shared bathroom. It opens to the living room with unique sliding doors that can close it off for privacy. The fourth floor (accessible by ladder) is a small loft with a memory foam futon for overflow sleeping. It's not suitable for small children or anyone not comfortable with climbing up and down a ladder. We also feature private decks with mountain views from each bedroom so fresh mountain air is just steps away.

Guest access...
You will have exclusive access to the entire chalet. The parking area and front deck spans both units A and B and is separated by a small wall.

Other things to note:
Winter Walk is a rustic vintage ski lodge. Don't expect ultra high end finishes or chi-chi designer furnishings. Do expect a comfortable, functional, and fun property with all the modern conveniences you need. If your priorities lean towards a love of the outdoors over your sheet's thread count, then Winter Walk may be the place for you.

We allow one well behaved dog for a $50 fee. In some cases we will allow more for an extra charge. Payment for the extra pet will need to be made through Venmo or by check. Please let us know what your pet situation is before you make the reservation and we will try and accommodate.

Note on occupancy: 9 is the maximum based on filling every bed to capacity but 7 is a more comfortable number of guests.

Neighborhood highlights...
The neighborhood is called Old Town Winter Park. It's a small residential area with an eclectic mix of older and new million dollar+ homes. For the most part, it's very quiet and a great place to take a stroll around the block. You can walk from our place to the ski area in about 10 minutes by going to the end of our street, taking a steep path up a hill, crossing the railroad tracks, and boom - you're at the base with the Gondola only 50 yards. Now that's convenient! A great asset, is the Fraser River Trail - the headwaters of the Colorado River! It's a 3 mile paved walking, biking, skiing path that follows the Fraser River into downtown Winter Park. It's our favorite place for longer dog walks, or cross country ski touring in the winter. Come dinner time, you can go across the street to the A-Frame Club where you can enjoy a high end dinner and drinks in a very cool retro-ski environment (reservations recommended).

Getting around...
Most of our guests have a car for getting to downtown, the grocery, etc. but it's not a must. There's a free shuttle stop at the end of our street which is great for an easy way to get to the ski area. Getting into town by bus is possible, but not overly easy or convenient. Walking from our place to the neighborhood or ski area attractions is highly recommended.
