So, no parking pass meant we stopped at A Frame instead. And, seriously, best decision ever. As soon as you walk in, you know this place is different. We came in during the winter holidays and loved the decorations, the small touches and the festive space. Think minimal elegance with a chill vibe. We headed to the bar and enjoyed some really well made craft cocktails. Staff were awesome - really friendly, attentive and shared some laughs with us. While we only had drinks (that were soooo good!), we were already bookmarking A Frame to return for dinner. If our cocktails were any indication of what's to come, we're in.

The restaurant food was awesome - we got the charcuterie, burger and lamb pasta then finished the night with the cookie skillet which was my personal favorite. The staff was extremely friendly and made us feel right at home and the ambiance inside was so cozy, a perfect spot for winter. Also grabbed breakfast burritos and coffee from the restaurant in the morning too, they have bagels and alcohol for sale as well!

What a find! For years, we have passed this B&B on the way in from US 40 on the local road to…read moreDevil's Thumb, always wondering what it was like and vowing to try it some day. The xc skiing at Devil's Thumb has always been a favorite for us, as far back as the 70's when it was just a rustic ski trail system with a small nordic supply shop. In recent years it became a full fledged resort with lodging where we have often stayed. We have also stayed in Winter Park, about 15 minutes away and driven over to ski. But we have now found our new favorite option. This is such a lovely place, both the facility and the charming staff. It is a better price value for us than some of the other options in the area, yet more than a simple motel in town. You know, like Goldilocks, "just right." I especially want to note that the (included) breakfast that host John cooks for the guests was wonderful, some sweet, some savory, warm, homemade, natural and ample for the start of even an hearty ski day. They take note in advance of special food needs and serve with a choice of time options. The log style of the building is rustic but nicely furnished. The rooms are well designed and furnished with high quality linens and have lots of storage as some guests stay for weeks. The views from each room are very pretty, some to the Continental Divide, some to the woodland. Every single staff member was friendly and helpful. The central lounge area was large, comfortable, attractive and clean and with a central fireplace. There are also some other smaller gathering areas to sit and talk or read if you wish to be outside your room. And there are also some family and dog friendly cabins on site if you want more than a bedroom. Personally, the rooms in the main inn are just right for my needs. We will absolutely be back. It is convenient to local xc skiing and also just a 15 minute drive past the Winter Park Resort and not far at all from several quality dinner options. We met other guests using the lodging for all of these reasons.

Every day breakfast and dinner was amazing - we didn't want to leave and come back to reality haha! Who wants to cook their own breakfast or dinner after a full day of skiing and activities? Not me!! They also have their own shuttle that takes you right to the Winter Park Ski lift. I have been coming to this lodge for years and I've never had one bad experience. The staff is also super friendly and helpful and the rooms were very cozy. Thank you Jeanine for such a great stay!

Ultimately I would have much preferred to have overnighted in the town of Grand Lake, Colorado...a lot closer to Rocky Mountain, NP. Unfortunately rooms were ultra expensive in that quaint little town, so I "bit the bullet" and drove 35 miles away to stay here in Winter Park. I spent $100 plus tax for a Friday night. I was pleasantly surprised how big the room was. Besides 2 queen sized beds, accommodations included a lounge chair, plenty of closet space and an extended area for the bathroom. The spaciousness of the room was absolutely the best part of the motel! I checked in relatively late evening (8pm) and there were no issues. Parking was free and right in the back of the building. Valley Hi is located in the center of Winter Park with plenty of options for food all over town. There is free continental breakfast and coffee offered in the morning with your stay but the following day I had a long drive and grabbed food on the road. Although I was ideally looking for accommodations within the confines of the western part of Rocky Mountain National Park, Valley Hi Motel was more than a suffice place to put my head down and rest for the evening. If you're exploring in the Winter Park/Fraser area, I'd give the green light to come here.

We will definitely be back to stay here. I made reservations through some hotel website but would not do that in the future. They overcharged once I compared to the hotel website. I'm trying to get back into the habit of cutting out unnecessary middlemen by purchasing directly from companies/businesses, and this was a good, albeit a bit frustrating, reminder.

I have never reviewed a Best Western before, but I am shocked to see this place is not being raved…read moreabout! The check in was great! The front desk and the manager were so friendly and nice. We mentioned we were hiking and my friend had bad blisters and the manager came out with bandaids and neosporin. The front desk explained what was open, how to access the hot tub, and what was on the menu for breakfast. There were blowpops and dog treats at the check in, and the staff was literally the nicest. Gave recommendations for dinner and as we walked away my friend commented on how we wished we loved our jobs that much. The beds were amazing and the room was exceptionally clean. The small touches like folded toilet paper and lots of toiletries in the bathroom is not consistent with a BW. They even had mini spray deodorants. They go above and beyond here. I have found that hotels have been stingy during COVID but we had plenty of fresh towels, coffee, amenities. There was even a microwave and a refrigerator. There is also an ice machine and good vending machines. The shower, if it is possible for a hotel, was almost too powerful and hot. I will take it! It is much better than the sprinkling of cold water at some hotels. I at no moment felt that anything was dirty. Super clean. The location cannot be beat. It is a five minute drive from the mountain and you can walk everywhere in town. The breakfast we did not eat but was plentiful! They had everything you can think of from cereal, to biscuits and gravy, fresh coffee, eggs, fruit, etc. They clearly care about the customer. My only word of warning is the noise level. We were there off season so it was very quiet but you could hear dogs barking throughout the night (this is dog friendly) and in the morning the noise from neighboring rooms was loud. I really wish they kept the dogs in one area of a hotel. I'm relaxing, i'm not at a kennel. Again, no big deal but I can imagine the noise during the peak of ski season. Maybe bring a sound machine, but something tells me the comfort of the beds and pillows will make you forget about it!

Desperately needing to get away with my husband on a ski-cation to our favorite ski area, we looked into booking a room close to the slopes and found this place to be reasonable for a ski-in/ski-out and a sport studio through Orbitz. We read about the place needing updating, but we decided to give it a try anyway. Thursday afternoon arrival and we were allowed to check in early and found out there was covered garage parking! Nice. The whole place is keyless utilizing coded entryways and we were pleasantly surprised to find a clean and cozy room with a terrific kitchenette complete with granite counters and stocked with dishes & cookware. We had unit 1033 and the Murphy bed was amazingly comfortable for two tall people and the sofa had a pull-out sleeper too. The decorations were nice and very homey with an overall skiing/sledding theme. We liked it. The entire resort's workout area was neat and clean as were their showers/saunas. The pool area has a half in/half out heated swimming pool and two large hot tubs. Very nice area, especially after our day of skiing and wanting a hot tub to relax our muscles. Here's the not so stellar items; our bathroom sink did not drain well, the light over the Murphy bed was out and the windows don't open. But nothing horrible. Last but not least is the convenience of an on-site restaurant, La Collina. Over-priced & overcooked and not very good food from a small, limited menu is what we got. Ugh. Underwhelming. Next time we're going into town for much better selections. Overall, we'd like to return during ski season and maybe even summertime, but do NOT eat at the restaurant.

Luckily we made it before it got too late to enjoy the evening. They require masks but seems like people don't follow it to the letter especially if they're vaccinated. I was comfortable with that. The front desk clerk told us about their restaurant's hours and the complimentary grab and go breakfast. Our room was on the first floor with the Mountain View but mostly we saw the parking lot. We had unpacked some items when I lay down on the bed and discovered a used q-tip. It was disgusting. We debated saying something and in the end it was too much for us so we went down to let them know. He switched our room and we packed up and headed to the fifth floor. Much better view and definitely nicer to know that there was no used q-tip lounging on the bed. The room smelled less musty as well. We decided to ride the Lift and head into town. If you call them and let them know you are at this location, they sometimes can swing by to pick you up so you don't have to walk to a stop. The breakfast the next morning was decent. There was yogurt, granola bars, burritos you can heat up. I can't remember if they had fruit. There were brown lunch sacks to carry your items in which was nice. And coffee and tea in the lobby. The breakfast is on the second floor. The hotel is rustic and I did like it. The bed was comfy and the pillows average. Bathroom came with a hair dryer which is always nice and a warming light which I'm told ski hotels have. I had never seen one so I was playing with it to check it out. Very interesting. When we checked out there was a sign that they were away and to leave our key cards in the container. We wanted to let them know that the smoke detectors in our room had been covered up with shopping bags held in place by masks in case they didn't know but didn't have a chance. Seems to be lots of parking at the hotel which was nice. I would stay there again and she has stayed there before.

A microwaved quiche wasn't to my taste as it was flavorless and had a very rubbery texture. The blueberry muffin was delicious, and the tiny slice of ham was good too. Your breakfast won't even look anywhere close to the pictures on their website, it is neither gourmet or very good (except the muffin).
