Frequently asked questions
We are an easy drive via I-70, exit 232 and over Berthoud Pass via Highway 40 to the property. It’s about 1.5-2 hours from the airport. Although their are shuttle services from the airport, we highly recommend that you
rent a vehicle and drive…although the free shuttle will get you from the cabin to town and the resort, you will have a hard time getting to Snow Mountain Ranch, Pole Creek, Grand Lake etc. without a vehicle.
There are also a couple of local car rental agencies in town if you arrive by train or bus.
The cabin itself is right off a main road that is always very well plowed. Our driveway is also plowed regularly (although keep in mind that if it is full of cars and a large snowstorm arrives during your stay our plow driver
won’t be able to plow).
While Berthoud Pass can be less than ideal in the middle of a major snowstorm that is rare and it is a very well maintained road with very wide shoulders, lots of passing lanes, etc.
Winter Park is actually the only ski resort served by train in the US! Arriving by train in kind of like a trim to Zermatt in Switzerland! It is possible to take the light rail train from the airport to Union Station in Denver and then take the train from Denver to Winter Park. This would likely require an overnight stay in Denver which could be a fun add-on to your trip. While not the fastest way to Winter Park it is the most scenic route! We recommend reserving a car rental in Fraser if you choose this adventure.
The driveway is quite large and with care could hold ten vehicles. A small (30′ or less) motorhome would fit, but not a large class A rig. We do not have any hookups for RV sewer or power.
