sled dogs The huskies of Dog Sled Rides of Winter Park can’t stop howlin’ with happiness that the cooler temperatures of fall are here and the snow isn’t that far behind. They are thrilled to get out onto the trail again. There will be one ride at 8am both Saturday and Sunday mornings until mid October when they will start taking multiple trips each day. If you would like to meet all the dogs and check out their digs, we suggest a kennel tour. By booking with Winter Park Lodging Company, you will recieve a $10 discount on each cart ride you book. Try to get here in October so you can wish Zeus a happy birthday on October 18th. If you are a dog lover yourself and can’t imaging travelling without your furry friend, give us a call and we can find a great dog-friendly property for your Winter Park stay.

Winter Park Restaurants | Mountain Rose Cafe

Posted on September 19, 2009 by Chris

We had a Winter Park Lodging Company outing this past Friday and we visited the Mountain Rose Cafe here in Winter Park. Amy, chief workaholic at WPLCO, used to work here and a friend of Sam, our newest, runs the kitchen.

Well, what a fantastic lunch we had. I had the shredded chicken breakfast burrito and it was awesome. Everyone else said their meal was very good and it all looked great.

They have 4 or 5 tables out front that are perfect for the fall weather we have been having up here in Winter Park.

I would recommend the Mountain Rose especially for a bite before you hit the slopes or head out on a mountain bike ride.

They will be running one cart ride on both Saturday and Sunday mornings through mid October. After that, they will run multipe rides throughout the day. The cart ride is $125 for 1 or 2 people. If you aren’t into the riding, but would still like to see the dogs, you can go on a kennel tour for $15/ adults and $7.50/kids. If you happen to visit on October 18th, be sure to wish a Happy Birthday to Zeus! Winter Park Lodging Company would love to host you at one of our great condos just minutes from the dogs and the ride of a lifetime.

We have to brag about our favorite local photographer for a minute. Steve Willis is a long time resident of Winter Park and has an amazing talent for capturing the beauty of life in the mountains in his photos. We’re lucky to have a few of his pieces on display in our office now, so feel free to swing by and check them out! For a very reasonable price, you can even buy your own authentic shot of Perry’s Peak or the Winter Park slopes to hang up in your mountain home. In addition to landscapes, Steve also does wedding photography and family photos to capture your Winter Park experience. Below are two that we have in our office but to see some in person, you can stop by the Fraser Library where he’s currently showing a wide variety.
