Zephyr Mountain Lodge 1220

By Larry, Posted: 09/17/2019

My family and I visit WP regularly. Over the years, our family's requirements have evolved (children that are now adults, pets, etc.). With one exception, that went badly, we always book with WPLC, because they always find something that magically fits whatever requirements we may have on a given visit. Every single time. I won't mention the other site I used by name, but you'll know them when you see them. It'll go something like this: you'll do a search, find a unit available for 3 nights, with an advertised nightly rate of $200, and assume your reservation will be roughly $600, plus taxes, resort fees, etc., then you'll hit the button for a detailed total, and it will be somewhere north of a $1,000! The final rate/quote you'll see on WPLC will be much closer to $600 than to $1,000, every single time. On to this particular unit (Zephyr,1220)... Great value, perfect location in the village, stumbling distance to Starbucks, the mountain, the hot tubs (there are 2 in the slope side building, restaurants/bars in the village, etc. It's not a huge unit, but is more than adequate for a couple, and can also accommodate more on the sofa sleeper. Nice deck off the living room, and cozy dining and living room areas. We didn't spend a lot of time watching TV, but everything worked when we did. My wife and I were celebrating our 28th anniversary on this particular visit, so it was just the two of us. It was a perfect option and the weather was "made to order" perfect all 3 days. For us, mid September in WP is the place to be, and these were perfect accommodations for our visit. BTW - I'm not a young fella, and you won't see me screaming down the mountain on a $6,000 mountain bike, but you might hear me screaming like a teenager, running the alpine slide at warp speed... If you get the chance, ride the slide... I'm sure I was the oldest guy there, but I felt like a kid again for a couple of minutes!

Manager Comment: What a fantastic review of a fantastic anniversary. We are so tickled to be your first choice every time. Come back again soon to feel like a kid again.

The unit was very nice and clean. The $16 a day for parking only works if you leave you car there. If you go in and out, you pay the hourly rate.

MANAGER COMMENTS:  Thanks Cathy.  It is not meant to be set up that way and we are contacting you offline to get this all settled.  Thanks for coming back to stay with us and we hope to host you when you come back to play in the mountains.

We had a great stay and our room was more than we expected. Thanks Winter Park Lodging Company.

MANAGER COMMENTS:  Oh great!  So pleased you had a great time and please let us know when you're back this way.

Extremely satisfied with the 1 bed apartment. Very clean, excellent location and being on the 2nd floor was a truly ski in ski out!!! Will definitely stay again on our next ski vacation!

MANAGER COMMENTS:  Terrific.  Thanks for sharing your stay with us Ricardo.  We hope you'll reach out to Winter Park Lodging Company again when you're back this way.

By Gregory, Posted: 12/18/2018

Was just what we needed. We will let you know when we come back.

MANAGER COMMENTS:  Excellent!  Please give us a call when you're back this way to play.

Had a great stay for a wedding. Very convenient location and excited to see what the summer work improves for this winter. Hats off the lodging company for great communication.

MANAGER COMMENTS:  We are all so excited to see how much warmer and less icy all the sidewalks are in 2019!  We are so pleased it was a nice stay for you.  Do let us know next time you are back this way RIck, we'd love to host you again.

This is our 3rd time staying in this condo for spring break. The location is perfect, we skied in and out. The condo is clean and comfortable. The kitchen is well appointed. Every interaction with Winter Park Lodging Company was so helpful and professional. We hope to return again!

MANAGER COMMENTS:  Wonderful!  We are all thrilled you enjoyed another stay up here with us.  Please give us a call when your next trip gets planned!

My wife and I stayed in this condo with our two kids this past week and we were very pleased. It is located right next to the Zephyr lift so it couldn't be any more convenient with ski lockers and the hot tub on the same floor as the condo. The condo itself is not large, but it had what we needed and it was in very good condition. The only inconvenience is the village tends to shut down early in the evening so there are very limited options to eat out in the immediate area.

MANAGER COMMENTS:  We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay with us.  We recommend making some later reservations at the restaurants in the Village and that way you can see if they plan on being open if you tend to eat a bit later.  Hopefully you'll get to dine at the time you desire.  They do tend to close down early over there if there isn't much demand.

By Stephanie, Posted: 02/21/2018

Great, thanks! Amazing location!Loved being in the village, on the same floor as the ski lockers and hot tubs, as well as the ski in/out doors.

MANAGER COMMENTS:  Terrific!  We are all so thrilled you enjoyed your stay with us.  It is so handy being right there on the main level for sure....no elevator required!  Do let us know when you're back this way.

Excellent location for mountain biking, dining and shopping.

By Holly, Posted: 04/09/2017

Zephyr was perfect for our family's spring skiing. We love the location and found the condo to be very comfortable. We love that it's on the same floor as the convenient ski lockers and the slope side hot tubs. Winter Park Lodging Company was very helpful with our reservation and helping us get on the slopes quickly!!

MANAGER'S COMMENTS...So happy to know this was the perfect property for your family vacation. The ease and convenience of this property's location makes all the difference when you are having to carry your skis and equipment to the slopes!

Had another fantastic family vacation in WinterPark. Thank you WPLC for helping us book our stay and providing us with additional vacation information. We are already planning a trip for next year. Your team promptly provided everything we needed including a new coffeemaker, an extra blanket, and additional cleaning supplies. You guys are so on top of things!!! The only suggestion/request we have is more clean towels, either daily or all of them provided upfront. I did wash a load every day, but it took time away from other things I would rather be doing. Thanks again and see you next year.

MANAGER'S COMMENTS...Thanks for the praise.  Glad we could get you most of what you needed.  Just give us a call for more towels anytime.  We will run them up to you lickety split.

Location worked out great. Sofa sleeper could use a better mattress. Would definitely consider choosing this unit again.

MANAGER'S COMMENTS...Thank you for your feedback on the sleeper sofa.  We hope to see you again soon.

The true ski-in/ski-out access is the key feature. The ski locker location right next to the door to the slope is a nice convenience. Having the hot tubs just outside the same door allows viewing the slope while relaxing. Unit 1220 was very warm and we left the heat off the whole 5 days and even opened the balcony door sometimes to cool it down. It was comfortable and well maintained. Sometimes, especially in the mornings, there would be strong odors of diesel exhaust in the hallways from operating equipment all around the building. The only option to parking in the basement garage for $14/night is parking in the Winter Park town garage and taking a shuttle back and forth to get the vehicle, so plan on adding the parking fee. We saved the cost of renting a locker so that almost paid for the parking. We saved almost an hour each way compared to our usual practice of lodging somewhere in town and going back and forth each day so it was more relaxing and much nicer to eat lunch. We felt spoiled in comparison and would stay here again.

MANAGER'S COMMENTS...Thanks for the great review.  We weren't aware of the diesel smell in the hallways, so will approach the building management about making that better.  You are right about the convenience.  The base is the easiest place to stay.

Excellent accommodations! Everything we hope for and more. We have stayed at many different ski lodges and would definitely stay here again!!

The place was perfect for access to the mountain. The condo was clean and suites family of 4 well. The company called and checked on us many times. Great vacation!!

By Tiffany, Posted: 12/22/2016

Great stay, the place was clean and in a perfect location. We look forward to our next trip to Winter Park!

MANAGER'S COMMENTS...We are excited for you to visit again soon.

By Holly, Posted: 04/11/2016

My family of four enjoyed out stay at the Zephyr Mountain Lodge. The Winter Park Lodging Company was very helpful and provided excellent information and support. Our room was as advertised and very comfortable. We really loved staying slopeside!! Manager's Comments...So great to hear you enjoyed your visit! We are excited to have you back again soon.

By Mark, Posted: 02/23/2016

Excellent check in process, great unit.

By Nick, Posted: 02/03/2016

Everything and everyone I dealt with at the resort and especially the people who handle the details with renting. It could not have gone any easier. I will definitely rent through you guys again

By Mark, Posted: 12/28/2015

We enjoyed our stay and accommodations. Unit was clean and had all the utensils and items we needed to prepare, eat and clean up after meals. Only complaint we had was that there was no exhaust fan in the bathroom. All Staff was helpful and courteous, maintenance technician was timely, pleasant, knowledgeable and made repairs to gas fireplace quickly. We will certainly reach out to WPLC the next time we plan a visit to Winter Park/Mary Jane.

By Martha, Posted: 02/23/2015

Thank you so much for the amazing accommodations! We had a wonderful time! Huge kudos for having the condo ready for early check in! It made for such a positive beginning to our stay!Everything was perfect. If I had anything negative at all to say it would be about the pillows. Bed was comfortable, but the pillows were too hard. Made for a little restless sleeping but not enough to dampen or spirits.

By Jennifer, Posted: 02/05/2015

Fantastic location, clean and accommodating.

By Jeffrey, Posted: 01/14/2015

The experience was very pleasant; from the management who called ahead to ask if there was anything we needed, to the condition of the unit itself. In an excellent location right in the heart of the village, this cozy warm and cozy unit was clean and well cared for. The appliances and furniture was well cared for. We downloaded the Winter Park Resort app which laid out all the check-in and check-out processes as well as general information about the rental and resort itself. While there are no views of the slopes, I was greeted by a beautiful sunrise out the large windows. I would definitely rent here again.

By David, Posted: 12/29/2014

Thanks for a great stay. Very convenient to have lift tickets and ski rentals delivered to our room. Condo was very nice, with easy access to the skiing slopes.

By Jeanie, Posted: 12/06/2014

Lovely stay. Particularly enjoyed having our morning coffee on the balcony while the sun came up.
