Winter Park Colorado Vacation Rentals For Travelers

by Joe Duffer
The information in this article might come in handy for travelers looking at Winter Park Colorado vacation rentals. It includes tips about the kind of choices and locations in and around Winter Park that are popular among ski enthusiasts. That's assuming, of course, that the vacation rental is required for a ski vacation.

That wouldn't be too presumptuous because Winter Park's biggest attraction is actually the ski resort. A heck of an attraction too, with some very nice slopes just off Denver, with the highest point at just over 12,000 feet sloping down to the downtown area at around 9,100 feet. And this downtown area has a bucketload of shopping, restaurants and entertainment that keeps the town abuzz throughout the year.

As for the vacation rental choices, travelers have more than a few options to choose from.
There are ski in/ski out condos and town homes in various locations in the resort. There are vacation rentals of many types in various locations in downtown Winter Park and nearby Fraser. There are also mountain homes higher up that are cozy and classier than a wealthy chalet community in Switzerland.

Let's assume, again, that the purpose of the trip is a ski vacation. If so, choosing the right one basically depends on the budget, number of people and length of stay. Not to mention a little comparison shopping for finding the right one with all kinds of facilities and a lot of space. So a 1-bedroom condo with pullout beds would be cheaper for a family of four, as compared to a 2-bedroom without pullouts.

Finding such a matching property in a suitable location such as Fraser Crossing shouldn't be all that hard. There are many condos and townhomes here that are a short walk away from the lifts and the resort's new village, and also on the free resort shuttle route. So all a small family on a ski vacation has to do is find an affordable 1-bedroom condo with suitable amenities in this or a similar location in the resort.

It should offer all the comforts of home, plus underground parking and ski and bike storage. Facilities available will likely include a fireplace, and an outdoor hot tub and a pool, and a fully equipped kitchen with utensils, a dishwasher, gas supply, a refrigerator and microwave. Free wi-fi internet and television with cable, a DVD player and a movie collection are all expected. So are pullout beds to accommodate the entire family.

In addition to Fraser Crossing, popular locations for similarly well furnished condos and townhomes in the resort include Founder's Pointe and the Village Lofts. In downtown Winter Park, locations popular with visitors include Telemark and Sawmill Station. These locations offer easy access to the lifts and also urban activities in town such as shopping and dining.

End of the day, though, all these different types and locations for Winter Park Colorado vacation rentals offer the same exciting winter vacation experience. The choice, therefore, comes down to the cost and the extras like discount lift tickets, free laundry, a parking garage, and Nintendo games for the kids. Also, a sweeping view of the mountains, since that is what Winter Park is all about.
