Avalanche Ranch Hot Springs Tours and Activities

Property has been updated and was clean. It was perfect for a one night stay at half the cost of surrounding properties.

The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. Only issues we had were minor. The dishwasher didn't appear to work, but figured out the latching mechanism was worn and if you slam it had enough you could get it to operate. Other minor issue was the TV in the the Master didn't work/wasn't connected to cable. Would have been nice to use it but not that big of a deal. There was a plumbing disaster in another area, which fortunately didn't affect us. The morning we moved out the elevator wasn't working... again, not that big of a deal as we are an able bodied family and the complex is only 2 stories, but we couldn't use a luggage cart since we were going down stairs. The pool, hot tubs and sauna were nice and the kids enjoyed the game room. I do wish there was an outdoor hot tub, but all in all I believe we got the value we paid for and would stay there again with the same budget. There was plenty of room for our family of 5 and the beds were comfortable. Having the shuttle to the resort area was a plus, but if you are carrying a bunch of equipment for little kids, I recommend driving to the Mary Jane base. The walk to the Winter Park base from the drop off is hellacious and even worse coming back (uphill). My elementary aged kids were about done before they even put on their skis. Mary Jane parking was plentiful and right at the lifts. Downside is not much easy stuff there. This isn't a 5-star posh ski in/ski out experience, but it isn't the Motel 6 either.

Sort of a tired hotel in a tired location.
