Location: where is Chalet Founders Cabin

This luxury detached log home is in a lovely wooded location, set back from the Main Street, yet steps away from the heart of Downtown Winter Park. The main ski area is just a 10 minute (approx) ride away, accessed by a regular free shuttle bus which conveniently stops outside the chalet.


Overview: chalet description: Chalet Founders Cabin description

Founders Cabin is a beautifully constructed log cabin style home with cathedral ceilings, log accents, a lovely river rock fireplace in the lounge and a mountain theme throughout.  All bedrooms are bright and spacious with en suite or private facilities. With the luxury of an outdoor hot tub, this is a fabulous chalet to return to after a hard day on the slopes.

Please note, as with all homes in Winter Park, there may be some noise from the train line which runs through the town.


This chalet is a Superior chalet, so you can enjoy extra features.

7 interlinked ski areas Peaceful, authentic town Easy transfer from Denver

Despite world class terrain, a reputation as a fantastic family destination, being super close to Denver and having the best 10 year snowfall in Colorado, Winter Park has managed to remain down to earth. Fending off the glitzy, commercial nature associated with other resorts in the area, it lets the quality of skiing and terrain do the talking.

As the longest continuously running ski resort in Colorado, Winter Park is steeped with history with a mining and timber background serving the close city of Denver. Owned by Intrawest, who until recently were responsible for the monolithic success of Whistler and currently run Steamboat and Mont Tremblant, this resort has managed to gain lots of popularity over recent years. With the Mary Jane side acquiring an offbeat following for its moguls and a reputation as one of the best resorts for families in the wo...
The skiing is some of the most versatile around thanks to the 7 interconnected areas, each with their own personality and style. Ski bumps or groomers in the morning before moving to some chutes over lunch and finishing with some tree runs at the end of day. The ski school is a brilliant place to pick up the basics or hone skills. Typically, the Winter Park area is the best for beginners, housing the most green runs - you can ski the whole way down from the Hi-Lonesome Express to the village on beginner runs. ...
Whilst the town is known for its family friendly feel, this isn’t to say you won’t find a good night out, it just means you have to know the best places. The Cheeky Monk is at the bottom of the slopes and is perfect for rolling into in your ski boots, with a huge variety or draft beers as well as good food. The Freestyles Sports Bar has games like foosball, shuffleboard and darts to keep you entertained and add a bit of competition to you après session. Ullr’s Tavern is a great local’s favourite with live m...

"Very good chef, very happy with the holiday"

5/ out of 5
The chalet was excellent, I’d recommend it. Paul the chef was very good. His food was excellent, and the children liked it too. It was a large part of why the holiday was so good. The service at the chalet was very good. It was very convenient for the ski bus, which stops just at the end of the drive. The standard of the chalet was high, we were comfortable. There was a nice hot tub outside, next to the front door, which was nice to relax in at the end of the day.
