We made our reservation online and then called and spoke with the owners and they were a great help with directions, once we made it to the lodge they had told me they would up grade our room for free as it is the off season.(late march) We had ordered a king bed room only and got a king bed...

West Wind is a family operated lodge. When we arrived, we were taken care of so well by the owner's mother. ( I wished I could remember her name) The condo was very clean and comfortable. I met Tony and he was very friendly and made sure we had everything that we needed. The kids loved the indoor pool and... More

I took my three kids here for the night when we came up to enjoy the Winter Park for the day. This family-based lodge was PERFECT for us. I was traveling without my husband and the "cabin-feel-right-in-the-heart-of-town" made me feel completely safe. The entire property has been recently renovated and it just as neat and clean as could be. The... More

We stayed here recently for a little anniversary getaway and it was truly a delight. Tony (the proprietor) not only gave us great suggestions for where to eat (Wendell's for a fancy sit down with a lake view, Hall of Flame Burgers, Mountaintop Pizza) but he also helped us pick a great place to go tubing in the snow when...

After arriving at West Wind Lodge I became very sick and felt I should return home. Tony Mc Alister (owner) came to my room and offered to take me to the hospital. He also made a map for me to get to the hospital myself. Tony is one of the kindness men I’ve ever met. He made my wife and... More

I've stayed at West Winds 3 times. No, it's not perfect but for the price it is great. It's bare bones basic but since I really don't spend much time in the room, it has all I need. Yes, you do need to take your own toiletries and hair dryer but do you really want to pay for a high... More

We stayed here for pleasure for two nights this past weekend. We chose this based on positive reviews from tripadvisor and we agree that it is a nice place. The rooms are old and outdated. If you want new and shiny you probably should look elsewhere. But i thought it was quite charming for the mountains. The rooms are very... More

Wow, I can't believe anyone would write a negative review about the West Wind, but you know how some people are... negative. However, we LOVED it. . . my husband and I stayed there one night last week, and had such a lovely time we decided to stay another night. It was incredibly peaceful and quiet and relaxing. The bed...

My family and I stayed here recently, and I would not recommend the place to others. I don't know how they justify calling the rooms cabins, because they are more like motel rooms. The room was dirty, there was no remote, no heat in the bathroom, no phone, no shampoo, no blowdryer, no coffee... We slept horribly in lumpy, uneven... More
