Base Village Loft 104

By Tony, Posted: 03/17/2024

We stayed at 104 just before spring break hit for a few day family ski trip with seven of us. It had been a number of years since I had stayed at Winter Park, but we definitely had a great time. We were very pleased with the 104 property and found the quality to be great. The booking, check-in, and check-out process were all flawless. The fact that doors use codes make it all that much more smooth. Really great when everything just works! While, slopeside would be more technically ski in/ski out, I feel the environment was better and loved cruising through the village. Would definitely stay again, here are the highlights: PROS: -- the garage was great, so handy to have reserved parking all of the time and it was great to store gear. -- the appliances were all top notch and in great working order. -- found the full window in the master shower hilarious, though the main level shower also had a smaller window in the shower. Interesting design, but found it fun. -- beds were of very high quality with great linens, and didn't quite need a ladder to climb up to one -- internet worked great and nice having full cable TV -- location was great, just awesome being in the middle of everything -- floors and entire interior in great shape, felt right at home -- other reviews noted noise from folks coming up and down the outside stairs, but none of us really noticed. We were just happy to be already at our condo, while others were still walking! :-) CONS: -- the stairs. not so much in the unit, but getting up and down to the village main level are three flights of stairs that are a sense of annoyance. Found that it made sense to carry down my, and the rest of the family's, gear down to the main level, then put on my ski boots and head to the lift. If there was just some way to store all the gear on the main level, would be a home run -- minor thing, but wish it had a Keurig coffee maker I stayed in the Vintage Hotel a few years ago, and at that time, it was still possible to hike up to the Corridor run so you can ski down to the Gondola, but now, the cliff there is quite life threatening. Just seems that it would be quite easy to make the entire area a bit more ski in/ski out. This is more a Winter Park issue than the unit or the rental company. I would definitely recommend this unit to all!

MANAGER'S COMMENTS: Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us your feedback on pro's and con's of your stay! This is all so valuable to future guests and our team. Love the idea of having some equipment storage space on the main level. We will have to look into that! We would like to welcome you all back again. Don't forget we give a 15% off return guest discount on all future stays in Winter Park!

Our 3 families of 14, ages 5-52, thoroughly enjoyed our 5 day stay at the Base Village Loft. Condo was exactly as pictured. Pros: - close to Gondola (5 mins walk) - two story arrangement, allowing everyone to spread out - full-size washer and dryer in the condo makes laundry convenient - well-stocked with toiletries, soaps and trash bags for our entire stay Cons (very minor): - the first floor is comprised of tile and hardwood and we tend to track snow, dirt and pebbles inside. Would be nice to have a swifter wet jet available for daily cleanup instead of the available broom and vaccum - for transparency, there are 3 flights of stairs to climb to get us to the gondola and back to the condo; may not be an issue for some but for our family with young kids, it was an endurance exercise, especially after a long day on the slopes - kitchen supplies, pots and utensils were sparse. Would have benefitted if it was outfitted with more items to cater to the gourmet chefs (different size pots and pans, more colander, increase the number of knives…etc). I did want to take a moment to recognize David from the Winter Park Management company. I emailed a few days before my arrival asking for a large stock pot. He said he would look into it and when I arrived, it was there ready for me. Also asked to check out at 11 am and was granted as well. Management was super-responsive. We had an exceptional experience and will be rebooking the same unit for next year! Best, Janel

MANAGER'S COMMENTS: Janel, thanks so much for all of this valuable feedback. We will share this with our Property Care Team. We are sorry about the endurance exercise with the kiddos on the stairs! The next time you stay with us, we can offer another option at the base of the resort with no stair climbing! Skiing is enough of a work out.  Also, thank you for the shout out for David. We love to hear that our team is helpful and responsive!  Happy Winter and we would love to welcome you back again.

From the moment we entered the loft, we were relaxed! After a long day of travel having the essentials that you need already available is a nice touch! The beds were comfortable! The fireplace was relaxing after a long day on the slopes! The location could not have been better! We didn’t leave the resort all week and never felt like we needed too! Thank you for an amazing lodging experience and personal customer service!

MANAGER COMMENTS:  Fantastic to read!  Many thanks Melissa.  So pleased you had a relaxing stay.  The Base Village Loft properties are all so easy/convenient for ski access.  We hope you'll join us again!

By Trent, Posted: 02/10/2022

Wonderful location. Excellent garage to use and store gear. Lodging folks were so helpful and allowed gear storage on our check in. All in all a super stay and hope to all come back again.

MANAGER COMMENTS:  Thank you Trent.  We'd be happy to host you all again.  Give us a shout!

My unit was in tip top shape. The kitchen could have a few more large cooking utensils. Its always a bummer when at high end rentals, the toilet paper is the same kind found in truck stops :-) For skiers or bikers its a primo location and very well appointed.

MANAGER COMMENTS:  Thanks for the feedback.  We'll get upgrading the cooking items and bathroom items!  Hope we can host you again.

Base Loft Village was perfect. The condo was great, the location was perfect, and we had a great time! Thank you!

MANAGER COMMENTS:  Fantastic!  So wonderful to hear.  That is a great location, right in the middle of it all.  And free garage!

By Margaret, Posted: 01/27/2021

We loved the location of the condo at the base area. Easy walk to gondola and lot of restaurants to walk to as well. Communication with property manager was great. Loved having our own garage near the condo. Inside was beautiful as pictured, and very comfortable for our family. We had a great stay!

MANAGER COMMENTS:  Fantastic!  Many thanks for sharing your stay with us.  We do hope we can host you again anytime you're back this way.

By Patrick, Posted: 09/10/2020

Modern, Clean, Convenient, and reasonably priced. We were overly pleased with our stay. Communication was timely and effective. I highly recommend.

MANAGER COMMENT: Cheers to a successful stay. We hope to host you again soon.

We had a very quick 2 night stay but our loft was more than accommodating. Very spacious, clean and right on the mountain. The only drawback was the hot tubs were shut down but we understood because of the safety risks. Thanks again and we will be back!

MANAGER COMMENT: Sometimes just 2 nights is enough to get you rejuvenated. We can't wait for the COVID monster to be gone!

This 3 bedroom loft was the perfect size for our 7 guests that included 3 children. This loft is well located right in the heart of the shops of the base village. The garage is just steps away from the front door and is very well secured. Everything is accessible with codes so there is no need to keep track of keys! The walk to the Gondola is approximately 80 yards away. The loft contained enough supplies for cooking meals if needed. The 3 full bathrooms are excellent for multiple people getting ready at the same time. There was minimal times that foot traffic noise could be heard outside the master as the exterior steps to the parking garage are just below this window. There is really no drawback to this unit and we would stay there again!

MANAGER COMMENTS:  Excellent!  We are so pleased the Loft worked well for your stay.  We would love to host you again when your travels bring you back this way.

The customer service was excellent. The staff called upon arrival and departure to make sure we had everything we needed. The location was fantastic right at the base and the place was clean and spacious. My only complaint is the water pressure in the showers but that is minor. Great stay overall! Would recommend.

MANAGER COMMENTS:  Excellent!  Many thanks Cassy.  We have our techs working on seeing if we need to swap out shower heads currently.  We hope you'll come back out this way and stay with us again.

By Wayne, Posted: 09/06/2018

This was a great condo in a great location and a great view of the Base Village. We had a great family gathering in Winter Park. Personnel from Winter Park Lodging Company called me by phone both before our stay and after our stay to make sure we had everything we needed.

MANAGER COMMENTS:  We are all so pleased you enjoyed the holiday up here with us.  Do let us know when your travels bring you back this way Wayne.  We'd love to host you again.

By Judy, Posted: 07/21/2018

We could not have asked for a better location for our family get together! Grandparents, parents and children had a wonderful time. Activities, restaurants, proximity to sightseeing locales were ideal. The 3-BR condo was setup perfectly. Just like home - or better! Everything we needed with lots of space. Definitely will return!

MANAGER COMMENTS:  Fantastic!  Thanks so much for sharing with us Judy.  It's always so great for us to read about a fun family stay.  Do let us know when you folks come back this way.  We'd sure love to host you again anytime!

Our family of 4 loved this town home right in the heart of downtown Winter Park. The reservation agent was very helpful and delivered a wonderful place to stay. They were a very helpful with questions along the way, too. We were greeted with a lovely welcome basket. The condo/townhome was clean, spacious and had everything we needed. The garage parking was wonderful and we enjoyed hot tub access. We would certainly stay here again. It was a perfect weekend because we had a wonderful place to stay. We travel and ski often; this was one of the nicest experiences. Thanks!

MANAGER COMMENTS:  Terrific!  We are all so pleased you enjoyed staying with us at Base Village Loft 104.  The location over there is ideal and private garage, hot tub usage is so helpful.  Please do give us a call when you travel back to Winter Park....we'd love to host you again!

By Scott, Posted: 04/19/2018

Great communication and frequency checking in with me throughout the trip. Had all info I needed upfront and no need to call. Great value in April for the cost with the reduction from March high season. Whole family had an incredible time - from grandma to 3 year old.

MANAGER COMMENTS:  So wonderful to read!  It's always so gratifying when everyone has a great time with us.  We'd love to host you again so do let us know when you come back to Winter Park.

We (myself, Husband and 4 teenagers) go to Vail for spring break, but this year with Easter so late, we wanted to maximize our odds of good spring skiing. After much research, we hit on Winter Park. First, we worked with WP Lodging Company to find the condo. They were a DREAM to work with: great communication and commitment to a painless vacation. We shipped our ski's out early via Fedex, and they received the 3 HUGE bags, and put them in our condo prior to our arrival. They worked with Grocery Guys to make sure our food was there upon arrival. They answered emails promptly regarding dining options, etc.. Can't say enough good things about them. Second, the condo - Base Village Loft 104 was fantastic. Very airy, right over the crepes place (yum!) and next to Pizza Pedal'r (both HIGHLY recommend). Short walk to lifts in morning, and ski in via the Corridor at end of day when you are dead to walk anymore (remember? I have FOUR teenagers who are all younger and faster than me.) Plenty of towels, supplies like garbage bags, dishwashing detergent, 2 loads of laundry soap. Beds very comfortable. Supplied with humidifiers - well played. My only *slight* criticism is the unit is next to the stairs leading from the parking garage to the lifts, so in the morning you can hear skiers going down those steps. I chose to be the "glass is half full person" and use that as an alarm clock so that I didn't waste half the morning in bed - but that's up to you. Overall, highly recommend, and if we do Winter Park again, I will try to get same unit. Thanks!

MANAGER COMMENTS:  Wow!  So great to hear all of this.  We are all so pleased you enjoyed your stay at Loft 104 with us.  Good on you for managing the ski in portion for the end of your day (and for finding Goodies creperie....the BEST!).  Save those legs!!  We would love to host you again so please do give us a call if you head back this way in the future.  Thanks again Cindi!

The Unit was very nice, clean, and the management company was great. Excellent location. Only complaint is the unit had no cupboards or a pantry to store food items. Note, garage was a little tight, but could fit a Nissan Armada SUV.

MANAGER COMMENTS:  We are so pleased you enjoyed Base Village Loft 104 overall.  We will get working with the owner to find some more storage areas in the kitchen.  It is a pain when things can't get put away.  We hope to get to host you again sometime.

By Maureen, Posted: 02/17/2018

Perfect location for our ski holiday. This is about as close to the slopes as you can get at Winter Park, so it was great. Having the little 1 car garage was a nice touch too. We also enjoyed the living room/kitchen layout after we came off the mountain. This place is easy to relax in, and we are hoping to rent it again when we return in a few months.

MANAGER COMMENTS:  The lofts are a cushy way to stay!  We are thrilled you enjoyed staying there with us.  Do let us know when you're back this way.

This place was perfect for us. We loved the location right above the Village and right on the end at the top of the stairs. An elevator would have made it easier for our older guests and the guests dealing with altitude issues but it was very accessible. We did have a little plumbing issue, but the management took care of it very promptly after being alerted. The rooms are nice size and having three full baths was wonderful! We adored the gas fireplace, which always took the chill out of the air and loved being able to open our windows to breathe your cool clean air! We highly recommend! The staff is beyond helpful in everything!

MANAGER'S COMMENTS....You can't beat this location in the village! So happy to hear we were able to take care of the plumbing issue right away.  Glad it was a great set up for your group.Come back and see us again soon!

As an owner of a condo at another resort, I was extremely impressed with every aspect of the property management for this condo. check-in, check-out, cleaning, customer service, everything was handled in a manner I wish I could get from my own property manager. Thank you for a wonderful vacation.

MANAGER'S COMMENTS...Glad you enjoyed your stay and we were able to hit the mark.  Let us know if you purchase property in WP.  We would love to manage your vacation rentals. 

By Shelley, Posted: 03/05/2017

This loft was the perfect stay for our family of seven! The older kids enjoyed going downstairs to the village shops and restaurants just to hang out. There was so much for every age! The convenience of walking to and from the slopes was awesome. We loved the way the village was so beautifully decorated at night with the Christmas lights everywhere! It was a wonder stay! Hope to be back soon!

MANAGER'S COMMENTS...It is a great multi-generational property.  You can be together, but still have some space and the teens can explore the village without taking a shuttle. 

By Rochelle, Posted: 09/20/2016

Easily our best family trip! The location cannot be beat for access to the slopes. The property itself exceeded our expectations. There was more than enough space for our group. The check in process was so easy with the keyless entry. We will definitely be visiting again!

MANAGER'S COMMENTS...Making it Easy for you is our goal.

Stayed here with my teens who came for the down hilling. It was so easy for them to pick up their bikes at the rental shop and jump on the lift. I enjoyed my quiet time reading on the balcony and watching the people in the village below. It was very clean and well maintained. Will come back for ski season!
