Best Ski-in Ski-out Lodging and Condo in Copper Mountain Colorado

When the weather starts its slow shift into winter, little snowflakes falling from the sky, many people plan their family getaway to the mountains. And the best way to avoid all the headaches and hassles while maximizing pleasure is to stay at a ski-in and ski-out lodging or condos. These vacation rentals offer you more time on the slopes, less time in transportation and long waiting lines, which is the best benefit for your family ski vacation.

Ski-in, ski-out lodging and condos are usually adjacent to ski lifts or directly on the slopes. You can easily access skiing from your hotel, get on the chairlift or gondola, and ski back to your door (or within a short walk). You can take advantage of the first tracks before the resort officially opens and avoid the crowds in the untouched snow. Also, you can save time dealing with the weather and car because you don’t have to drive to the ski resort. For example, you don’t need to spend time digging out your car if it snows hard overnight or driving in hazardous conditions.

Moreover, you can wear the ski equipment instead carry them. Easy to back to the hotel for a snack, forgotten item, bathroom break, clothing change, footwear exchange, or just to rest. These significantly bring benefits to the family with younger kids and first-time skiers. 

Copper Mountain’s ski-in, ski-out lodging and condo rentals are ideal family vacation stays. 

These ski-in/ski-out lodging reviews are from my and my friend’s experience, which is somewhat subjective. But it definitely gives you a better idea to choose the best one for your next family winter escape.

Below the reviews are my personal beliefs and feelings that might help you get a better idea of the accommodation.

Best Center Village Ski-in Ski-out lodging in Copper Mountain

These three Copper Mountain Center Village lodgings are ski-in ski-out. One of the lodgings offers babysitting and childcare service. 

Family-friendly Lodging in Center Village>>

Copper Mountain Copper One Lodge

(View on Booking.com or Agoda.com)

Address: Frisco, CO 80443, United States

Pros: Extremely close the lifts and restaurants, ski storage provided, nice outdoor hot tub, friendly and helpful staff, convenient

Cons: The room is a bit old

Review: This ski-in/ski-out condo is next to the two main lifts in Center Village. The location has got to be the best in Center village, right next to everything. The activities, ski equipment rentals, lift tickets, restaurants, and bars are outside Copper One Lodge in the Burning Stone Plaza, within distance! Complete heaven knowing Starbucks is only a 2 minute’s walk away. 

Clean lodging furnished a bit old but well equipped with everything we needed. The hot tub, gym, and sauna on the 2nd floor were fantastic. Also, the laundry room is on the 3rd floor. We used these facilities a lot during our stay.

I like the convenience of easy and simple check-in. The property owner is accessible and responds quickly.

Highly recommend!

Copper Junction

(View on Booking.com or Agoda.com)

Address: 214 Ten Mile Cir, Frisco, CO 80443, United States

Pros: Great views, comfortable, roomy, clean, quiet

Cons: Small parking space

Review: You can’t beat the location. It’s centrally located near Easy Rider lift, American Eagle lift, and ski village. Literally snowboarding and skiing right from your door, ski-in and ski-out.

The rooms are nicely furnished, plenty of space, and have a beautiful view of the American Eagle. Had a well-furnished kitchen to prepare our meals every day.

The downside is parking space is very tight and not enclosed in the basement parking garage. 

Mountain Plaza Copper Mountain

(View on Booking.com or Agoda.com)

Address: 509 Copper Rd, Frisco, CO 80443, United States

Pros: Good service, roomy, massage, modern building

Cons: The room is not soundproof

Review: It is in a great location, right in the middle of Center Village. Steps from the American Eagle lift, about a 1-minute walk. You can simply ski to the mountain and ski back to the condo. There is a ski locker in the building, making getting out the door very easy.

The staff is friendly and helpful. The beds were very comfortable, and the kitchen was very well stocked. Especially the wood-burning fireplace was made available for the entirety of our stay.

One thing drawback is the walls are thin, we could hear outside and neighbours. It can cause trouble sleeping by the noise, which is not great for little kids.

Best West Village Ski-in Ski-out lodging in Copper Mountain

Here are three genuinely ski-in and ski-out accommodations in West Village Copper Mountain.

Side Note: I didn’t put The Cirque into the ski-in and ski-out lodging selection. Because it’s not ski-in and ski-out if the snow accumulation is not enough.

Lewis Ranch Copper Mountain Rental

(View on Booking.com or Agoda.com)

Address: 35 Union Creek Trail, Frisco, CO 80443, United States

Pros: Amazing location, space for ski equipment, spacious, clean, excellent service

Cons: Away from restaurants, the unit is a bit dated

Review: Gorgeous vacation home in a beautiful and convenient location. The house is in a perfect spot for ski-in and ski-out. The Lumberjack lift is right next door. So that you can ski from home without carrying a lot of equipment. And the house is very spacious and offers multiple views, including 10-mile range views. Although the house is dated but still beautiful. Perfect for families or groups.

Besides, the house is everything it says. Everything was clean, with plenty of room, multiple outdoor spaces, and a relaxing hot tub.

The customer service was excellent and responsive to any requests. Communication, check-in and check-out process was smooth.

It is a bit far from restaurants, but indeed a cozy place. Would definitely recommend it very much.

Union Creek Lodge Copper Mountain

(View on Booking.com or Agoda.com)

Address: 35 Union Creek Trail, Frisco, CO 80443, United States

Pros: Good service, great location for all ages

Cons: Beds are uncomfortable, dusty

Review: This is a fantastic ski-in and ski-out property. The townhome’s location is fabulous, a convenient walk to Center Village and steps away from West Village. It’s easy to get to the slopes, and other activities weren’t too far either.

This beautiful vacation rental was well equipped: games, boot dryer, functional office, hot tub, radiant heat floors, etc. We explored with the kids for quite a while. Have to say all the great spaces in this unit are outstanding.

The property manager was very available and responsible.

However, the cleanliness and uncomfortable mattresses were the things we found slightly disappointing. The cleanliness was below acceptable. It was the copious amount of dust in the townhome. The heat mattresses are warm but uncomfortable, in my option.

I wish they could properly clean the lodging to make me have more desire to come back.

The Cache at Union Creek

(View on Booking.com or Agoda.com)

Address: 12 Union Creek Trail, Frisco, CO 80443, United States

Pros: Spacious, convenient, great location, good service, quiet

Cons: No elevator, clean concern

Review: The condo is modern and up to date. Spacious and comfortable within walking distance to the lift and ski rentals. It’s also great for families with kids to attend ski school. And there is a bus stop nearby for a quick shuttle ride to activities or the other villages.

The kitchen was well equipped, but the kitchenwares were dirty. They provide humidifiers to help noses which was an added bonus. If they can make improvements, this condo will be outstanding.

Best East Village Ski-in Ski-out lodging in Copper Mountain

There are three ski-in and ski-out lodging in East Village on the list with their pros and cons. You can refer to the following reviews before making a decision.

Family-friendly Lodging in East Village>>

Foxpine Inn

(View on Booking.com or Agoda.com)

Address: 154 Wheeler Pl, Frisco, CO 80443, United States

Pros: Comfortable, excellent service, spacious, great location, massage

Cons: Property was dated, bathrooms are small

Review: The location of this property is perfect. Everything like lifts, ski rental, ticket office, and shuttle stop all right out the door. Could ski right out to the Super Bee and Stinger lifts.

Their customer service was quick and responsible. The check-in process was smooth.

The condo is a bit dated but well-stocked, with many beds and space for everyone. The mildew shower liners and the unclean carpet were highly unpleasant. Otherwise, the condo was very comfortable.

Copper Springs at East Village

(View on Booking.com or Agoda.com)

Address: 105 Wheeler Cir, Frisco, CO 80443, United States

Pros: Value for money, cleanliness, great location, room comfort

Cons: Furnishings vary

Review: Cozy and convenient location for getting on the mountain. Loved the proximity to Super Bee. Kids ride and ski blues and blacks trails, and the Super Bee was only 200 feet away. The convenience of the genuinely ski-in and ski-out couldn’t be better.

If you need to rent or repair ski equipment. A ski rental shop within walking distance. Steps to the bus stop for the copper mountain shuttle. So that you can easily access the other villages, very convenient.

The unit is immaculate and excellent for a family trip. The beds living space were very comfy. Glad to have humidifiers provided. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils, dishes, and cooking equipment. Sitting in the hot tub after a day on the slopes was awesome.

Although the entry and hallways looked dated, the updates in the condo couldn’t say it’s modern but were lovely and very comfortable. Stays very warm in the winter.

However, my friend had an awful experience with this condo. The unacceptable quality of beds and pillows made them hard to sleep. Therefore, I had contact with the rental agent and was told the variance is attributable to the primarily each unit is privately owned. Hence, I would suggest the Cs210 Copper Springs Condo for my pleasant experience.

Snowflake

(View on Booking.com or Agoda.com)

Address: 102 Wheeler Pl, Frisco, CO 80443, United States

Pros: Great location, friendly staff

Cons: Poor property conditions and facilities

Review: The house is spacious and close to a lift, easy to ski in and out at East Village. Super Bee lift was right next door. The staff was accommodating.

However, there are many issues. The house really needs updating. It was dirty, paint was peeling from the walls, and the sink had rusted away. The entire place was run down and dilapidated. And nobody showed up to do housekeeping. I feel like I should get my money back for the cleaning deposit.

Great location and friendly customer service. But with the cost, I would chew it over.
