Top Floor Mountain Retreat, Prime Location to WP Base Village, Trestle Bike Park
Guest rating: 5.0 / 5
Overview
Top Floor Mountain Retreat is a contemporary studio-style vacation apartment in Winter Park, Colorado, located within the Fraser Crossing building just 150 yards from the base of Winter Park Resort's 10-person gondola. The premier studio sleeps four with a king bed and a queen sofa sleeper, making it a compact but efficient base for ski trips or mountain getaways. With a 5-star rating from 194 reviews, it stands out as one of the most consistently well-reviewed stays in the area.
Kitchen & In-Unit Amenities
The unit includes a full kitchen with oven/stovetop, microwave, and all cooking essentials, allowing guests to prepare meals without leaving the building. Additional comforts include cable TV, a gas fireplace, heating, free Wi-Fi, an ironing board, and a crib for traveling families, plus an in-unit washer for longer stays. The property is smoke-free throughout.
Building Amenities & Recreation
Guests have access to a large shared amenity deck with a hot tub, outdoor fireplace, barbecue grills, and patio seating with mountain views. The building includes an elevator, bike storage in the parking garage, and ski lockers near the lobby, catering directly to skiers and cyclists visiting Trestle Bike Park. Free parking is available on-site, with seasonal underground parking options for winter and summer.
Location
The property sits directly across Winter Park Drive from the Village restaurants, shops, and outdoor activities at the base of Winter Park Resort. Several bus stations, including Zephyr Lodge and Winter Park Resort - Lower Circle, are within 100 meters, and dining options like Stoney's Winter Park, Vertical Bistro & Tap, Goodys Mountain Creperie, and Pizza Pedal'r are all within a short walk. Denver International Airport and Centennial Airport are both roughly 85-93 km away for travelers flying in.
Best for
This retreat is best suited for skiers, snowboarders, and mountain bikers thanks to its near-immediate proximity to Winter Park Resort's gondola and Trestle Bike Park, plus on-site ski lockers and bike storage. It also works well for small families or couples, given the kid-friendly designation, crib availability, full kitchen, and in-unit washer for multi-day mountain stays.
Travel tips
Book underground parking in advance during winter months, as it carries a $21/day fee versus free access in summer. The unit uses a keyless electronic lock, so there's no need to stop at a separate check-in location, and several bus stops (Zephyr Lodge, Winter Park Resort - Lower Circle) are literally steps away for getting around without a car. Since the nearest major airports (Denver International and Centennial) are both over 85 km away, plan for a shuttle or rental car, or consider the nearby Winter Park Amtrak stop as an alternative from Denver.
What guests say

Reviewers also frequently mention smooth, seamless check-in and check-out via the keyless lock system, plus quick and helpful communication from the host, Chris.
