The Viking Lodge - Downtown Winter Park, Colorado - Winter Park, Colorado

The Viking Lodge is a charming ski resort. Its location is ideal, with numerous restaurants and shops in close proximity. The staff is courteous and recommended excellent places to dine. Danish pastries and coffee are served in the main lodge every morning. However, it would be convenient to have a coffee maker in our room. Overall, it is a great place to stay

The Viking Lodge was perfect for my winter stay to Winter Park. It is in a perfect location with very good restaurants within just a few minutes walk. The hotel itself was very cute chateau type vibe, was very clean and quiet. I will definitely stay here in future trips to Winter Park.

This is the most quaint, comfortable, cozy place I’ve stayed in Winter Park! We came out because my boyfriend’s band was playing in town and we were looking for a walkable hotel.

We had no idea what to expect, but walked into the lounge and were surrounded by rustic Christmas vibes.

The room was super cute! The heating worked great, as did the TV. The shower got as hot as you could ever want it and didn’t get cold during a 30 minute wash. The tub and skunk in the room were a little slow to drain. The mattress was really comfortable.

The walkability from the hotel was incredible! So many great restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and cute stores within 1 minute of the hotel.

We will definitely be staying again!!!

Came in late at night and they did a really nice job making sure we were able to get into our room and get settled! Whole place is decorated so nicely and makes you feel like you’re at someone’s house. Free coffee and pastries in the morning always a plus. Only downside was the room was pretty small and the bed wasn’t the most comfy, but otherwise everything else was great!

A true quaint lodge. Very comfortable. Room was small but we really only needed it for sleeping. Bed was great. There is a small lobby with comfy chairs and a fireplace if you want to hang out. Friendly and helpful staff. An enjoyable stay!

The staff was accommodating and kind. Thank you! The mattress was soft, the room clean. It didn’t take long for the water to get hot, just have to turn the faucet to full power. There is a microwave, free snacks and hot drinks in the lobby for self service. Overall, I enjoyed my stay here as a quick ski getaway.

While planning a snowboarding trip with a friend, I spent hours searching online for an affordable place to stay. As you can imagine, being a ski town, most prices were through the roof. I’m not a bougie person who needs a luxury stay, so when a Winter Park Resort employee recommended the Viking Lodge, I decided to give it a try—and I’m so glad I did! It was significantly cheaper than other hotels in the area.

The Viking Lodge is a small, family-run business, and they went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. After a long drive, they even let us check in early, which was a huge help. The lobby had an awesome cabin vibe, complete with a cozy fire, a record player, and a collection of records to choose from—such a cool touch!

The lodge offers various room sizes, some of which they mentioned are being remodeled. We booked the loft room, which had two queen-size beds—one on the main level and one on the loft. While the loft was a bit much for me (especially after the soreness kicked in from snowboarding), it was still super comfortable.

The lighting wasn’t the best, but honestly, it added to the cozy cabin aesthetic, so I didn’t mind. The only downside was the thin walls. We could hear other guests and the bustling city, especially during a snowstorm when trucks were working all night. That said, it didn’t really interrupt my sleep—it’s just something to be aware of.

The Viking Lodge is conveniently located at the entrance of Winter Park, right next to a charming shopping center with restaurants, bars, and shops. Plus, the free "Lift" bus routes stop both in fr

Overall, I’d rate this place a 10/10. It’s not packed with fancy amenities, but if you’re looking for a comfortable, budget-friendly spot with super friendly owners, this is the place for you. I’ll definitely stay here again if I return to Winter Park!

Bonus: They had light breakfast items, snacks, coffee, refreshments, and board games in the lobby, which made the experience even better.

So cozy, so quiet. I had a delightful stay.

I had some work to do in the evenings; the lounge by the fire was the perfect spot to plug away with a mug of coco.

My room was adorable, quiet, comfy, and had everything I needed for a wonderful stay.
