Rocky Mountain Chalet

Our stay was pleasant and our room was comfortable and clean. Having one of the rooms downstairs we were entitled to the breakfast. That worked for us. The breakfast had enough varity to satisfy us. We were in town on a ski trip. The location was conveniently located near Winter Park and Grandby Ranch. Ski Broker ski rentals is only a block away. All in all it was worth the stay here.

Very comfortable room. Many breakfast choices, all good. Location was very convenient for our continued travels in the area.

We just returned from a visit to Fraser over Christmas and we LOVED the Rocky Mtn Chalet!! From the moment we arrived we felt like were were home (not to mention all the Floridians)...Lynda made us feel right at home and took care of every detail...she is a GEM! We cannot say enough great things about this inn (hostel) nestled in Fraser...We stayed in The Sleigh room downstairs....The rooms are nice and comfy with warm robes and slippers....breakfast was perfect each morning. Noise was NEVER and issue except for the train whistle! We loved the 'casual' atmosphere; PJ's were acceptable in the breakfast area/fireplace. They are conveniently located between Winter Park and Granby. This was a great find for us and we will be back!

I happened upon this place by luck in 2006. Could not get anyone to join me so was forced to travel alone. I have been back almost every year since. Not only is it clean and comfortable but interacting with the other guests turned out to be an unexpected bonus. I have made several friends who are more than just ski buddies. Highly recommended! PS - I am from the Island of Bermuda

Loved the whole experience! Beautiful rooms, nice touches! Only negative, for us, was that the [new] TV in the common area adjoining the kitchen was on, rather loudly, in the afternoon, through dinner and until 10:30PM quiet time. Distracting. Part of the reason we plan a weekend like this is to get away from things like TV, and just enjoy each other's company and some respite from demands of work, etc. Otherwise, it was all super. The kitchen is amazing. And there's lots of space. Convenient location. Loved the continental breakfast!

My wife and I were traveling the US and staying primarily at B&B's. Traveling without the kids gave us a great opportunity to become B&B junkies. In our opinion, the Rocky Mountain Chalet does NOT qualify as a "Bed and Breakfast". It qualifies more as a hostel with some private rooms down stairs. We stayed in a private room that had thin walls and we could hear most of what was going on both up stairs and right outside our door. The rooms were nice and what we expected. The food for breakfast was seriously lacking. It was a continental type breakfast with cold pastries, fruit, yogurt, juice and coffee. We were expecting a more traditional breakfast cooked for us as was done in the multiple B&B's we stayed in across the country. We didn't feel like we were welcomed into a house. Instead, we felt we were welcomed into a motel. There were rules of taking off our shoes at the entry-way, "quiet time" from 10:30pm-6:30am as well as restrictions for skiers and snow-boarders bringing in their equipment. We were woken up just after 7:00am by the sounds of a loud child from the hostel. The child seemed to be making noises right outside our door. My wife and I decided to not fight it, but to instead just leave and get a hot breakfast on the road. When asked while checking out if I enjoyed our stay, I just quietly turned and left. We were not at all happy with our stay because we were expecting a Bed and Breakfast type atmosphere. I would only stay there again if I were looking for a hostel type atmosphere and traveling with my kids. When we travel with our kids, we usually look for places with kitchen access to save us money on food. The Rocky Mountain Chalet would meet our criteria in that case. NOT a "Bed and Breakfast"...

We certainly apologize for the disappointment that you experienced. We are advertised and can be booked on Bed and Breakfast.com but we are not a B&B. We do not advertise on any website including our own that we are a B&B. We describe ourselves as a Boutique Hotel based on a European Chalet concept. We have made every effort to clearly explain the accommodations and the continental breakfast. Unfortunately we are caught in a tough position by the Reservation Companies as well as the Reservation Software companies. Many of these companies are linked together and have strict rules. We don't qualify as a "hotel" but fall into the B&B, Inns, Lodge, Hostel, Chalet ect. category. BedandBreakfast.com is a booking engine that covers this category and that is advertised on their homepage. We have no intention of misleading anyone and have taken many steps to explain our unique Chalet on the internet. The "shoe rule" is to keep costs down and the quality of our floor surfaces up, it's common in almost every home in this valley to do so because of the snow and mud that we have for the periods of the year. Every room has a boot tray in the closet for shoes if our guests don't want to leave them at the entry. Our common areas are gathering places for people to relax and or socialize, we do ask our guests to respect the others who wish to sleep by putting quiet hours for the common areas. If you want to read or surf the internet by the fire or upstairs in the great room, you are welcomed to do so. Because of our requests to keep shoes, skis and snowboards out of the rooms, we are continuously complimented on how well maintained and clean our Chalet is. Once again, we apologize for the disappointment you felt. Thank you for your compliments.

I haven't stayed at the resort or any other hotels, but for the money, I don't think you could find a better place to stay and ski. The breakfast is great, and the rooms were better than we hoped. Great place for a getaway for 2, or for a family.
