Base Camp 494

By Paolo, Posted: 07/09/2024

Very clean, spacious location for a multi-family trip. Fantastic kitchen space for wanna-be chefs to play! The bedding worked well and was comforable for our group as well....older, large kids. Hosts were excellent and easy to contact when we needed them. We hope to get to return!

MANAGER COMMENTS:  We'd love to host you again Paolo!  The Base Camps are a fun spot for a group to enjoy and feel comfortable.  So pleased you shared with us!   ~  The Winter Park Lodging Company Team

We all loved this property! The parking is a on the small side for 2 vehicles and so many folks but the lodging company helped us get our other vehicles to a good spot. Super clean and comfortable. Nice to come and have lunch and get back out easily to enjoy the afternoon. We thought it was a great fit for our group of 9 adults/older kids. Hope to come back!

MANAGER COMMENTS:   Thanks Gerti.  The Base Camps are tucked in such a great spot!  We are pleased everyone enjoyed and do reach out when your travels bring you back this way.....we'd love to host you again!  ~  The Winter Park Lodging Company

This house was amazing. It had more than enough space, beds, bathrooms, seating, etc. It was beautiful and clean and perfect for hanging out in the living room or kitchen/dining room. Great looking kitchen and appliances and stocked cabinets of all the dishware and cookware you'd need. Probably the only 2 negatives would be that the hot tub was a little small, but that was fine...it was still a great hot tub and even had party lights! And the other was that the ski in/out is more like hike in/out to the trail - the 'walking path' as described is a trail through the woods which is covered in snow and ice. It's not a bad hike or too long but it's not an easy walk down a shoveled, paved path as I had pictured. But we were ok with doing that. It's a quick and easy 15 minute walk to the Winter Park village so you can pretty much leave your car parked most of the time while there unless you're doing grocery shopping or going to the town of Winter Park (but there is also a free shuttle for that). I would definitely stay here again and hope to do that sometime soon and will share the Winter Park Lodging info with any of my friends that ask - I know a lot of people that do ski trips and many have already asked about the info because they saw the pics we posted of the house and want to stay there too.

MANAGER'S COMMENTS: Thanks Gary for this great feedback on Base Camp 494! We appreciate you recommending us to your friends. We are happy you found the townhome clean and spacious and close to the Winter Park Resort Village. We are sorry the walk to the Corridor trail was a little more than you expected, but happy to hear you would stay again! Give us call when you you'd like to come back and we will make sure you receive your VIP return guest discount. 
Thanks again!  ~The Winter Park Lodging Company Team

Wow, the Winter Park Lodging staff was nothing less than exceptional. Base Camp 494 was also one of the best locations to the slopes I've ever stayed at. I was with a group of 10 people and everyone said they'd book the same place again through Winter Park Lodging 100%.

MANAGER'S COMMENTS:  Thank you for the excellent review Isaac! We are thrilled your time with us was so amazing and glad your entire group would love to book Base Camp 494 again! We always give a return guest discount on all future stays, so reach out when you are ready to book again. We would love to host you.

The staff at Winter Park Lodging Company goes above & beyond. We have always been treated like family by them. They are in constant contact to make sure everything is going well at the house & that everyone traveled safely. Their response time to questions is extremely timely. They always let us know when they are coming to check something at the house. I highly recommend working with Winter Park Lodging Company. Thank you Team WPLC.

MANAGER'S COMMENTS:  Thank you so much Michelle! We appreciate you coming back year after year and staying with us. It means so much to our company and our team. You and your family are a true pleasure to host! See you next time.

We stayed at Base Camp 494 this summer and LOVED it! The space is great for two families since there are large bedrooms and bathrooms and the lower level tv room is great for kids. Hot tub looks out to the evergreens and we enjoyed it every night. Really large kitchen stocked with everything you need which is awesome for cooking at home. We were able to walk out to some ski area trails and enjoy the cool mountain air. Winter Park Lodging Company was second to none with their communication and brought us extra hot tub towels as soon as we asked. You can tell this home is run by professionals!

MANAGER'S COMMENTS: Fantastic to hear Lulu! It was great to hear that Base Camp 494 was loved by your group. Come back again anytime!

We had a tremendous stay at the Base Camp 494....so easy to get out and in from skiing. Loved that we could enjoy a soak in our own hot tub at the end of each day.....I skied the bumps! We truly enjoyed working with the Lodging Company....fabulous folks over there. We do hope to come back for next late season skiing...it was so great and we even got fresh snow storms! Thank you.

MANAGER'S COMMENTS: Awesome to hear! Thank you so much for sharing your vacation with us.

Our family has been coming to Winter Park for Christmas since 1994 and this year's vacation was the absolute best ever. We have twice previously rented at Base Camp but this year's stay at BC494 was truly memorable. The property was immaculate. The kitchen was fully outfitted and all of the appliances worked (...you know what I mean). Upon arrival there was complementary wine and a charcuterie plate. The hot tub/spa was sparkling and fully sanitized...the grandchildren loved splashing after ski lessons. WPLC provided extra cool mist vaporizers to accommodate our family. On Day #3 they delivered a colorful Christmas tree with lights and ornaments. WPLC follows all CDC guidelines regarding disinfection and social distancing - they thoughtfully asked us to be out of the house when they decorated the tree. There were routine check-in text messages from WPLC staff to inquire about any concerns (none!) We rarely used our car except for grocery runs. The frequent WP free shuttles took us everywhere. In summary, BC494 was an extraordinary venue and an extraordinary value for a family of 10. You will not be disappointed with any of the Base Camp properties and you will be delighted with WPLC's professional and caring support of its renters. Happy New Year to all!

MANAGER COMMENTS:  HOO-Ray!  Thanks so much for letting us know William.  We are so thrilled everyone enjoyed themselves.  It is a marvelous place to spend the holidays.  Please let us know when we can host you again!

We have used Winter Park Lodging Co for the past 5 years. Service is always excellent. They communicate quite often to see how things are going. If any issues they are resolved immediately. Our stay was over Thanksgiving break 2021. The location was great, walking distance via the cat track or road into the village; walk is about 10 minutes. Will continue to use Winter Park Lodging Co as long as we go to Winter Park Resort. Thank You WPLC!

MANAGER COMMENTS:   Our pleasure!  Thank you so much for choosing to spend  your holiday with us.  It's always so great to work with you Michelle.  Hope the kids have a terrific/successful ski season!     

By Tim, Posted: 02/01/2021

There were 12 of us in here and lots of room for all. Enjoyed the location for pretty easy ski access. Very easy to eat all meals in the home.....excellent layout for all to enjoy. -Thank you

MANAGER COMMENTS:  Thanks Tim.  The Base Camps do have a great location and easy layout for multiple families.  Please call on us again when we can host you.

The Basecamp 494 property is a nice and updated place with plenty of space for people to be together in the kitchen, dining table and living room. The description on accessing the ski run is a bit misleading: "walk the short path to the Corridor ski trail". The access is really via a slight uphill walk past another townhouse and then a windy footpath in the woods to a set of stairs with about 100 steps up. This is not the end of the world, but also not a walk in the park with ski boots on and carrying skis/poles. My stay did encounter a maintenance problem and Winter Park Lodging Company was very proactive on trying to resolve it and helping my group with alternatives.

By Johannes, Posted: 04/15/2019

The unit more than met our expectations for a group of nine adults and four children. The open kitchen/dining room was fantastic with a table that truly can seat a large group. We had young children with us and they could sleep soundly while the adults stayed up in the living room. Everything was as filled with more than enough bedding and towels for the hot tub. Additionally, we came during a large snowstorm and the plows are quick and came repeatedly during the day. Of note, there is a shuttle bus to bring you to the resort but the walk to the pick up location is a little far for young children in ski boots. Very doable for adults. Since we had a few non-skiers in the group, we used our own cars to shuttle us to the resort and avoid the walk. The management team was attentive and alerted us the day before that early check-in was available. Additionally, they called to check in before leaving for the day to ensure that we had everything we needed on our first night. Definitely consider this property for large group gatherings, you will not be disappointed!

MANAGER COMMENTS:  Excellent!  We are all so thrilled you enjoyed staying with us in Base Camp 494.  We would love to get to host you again whenever you come back this way next.

By Chelsea, Posted: 03/12/2019

Base Camp 494 was great... just a few things... Master bedroom mattress was terrible. Main living room tv (had to call twice to get it to work properly). But, someone came out right away... which is a plus :).


MANAGER COMMENTS:  Got it.  We will get working on upgrading the Master mattress.  So sorry you were uncomfortable.  We are always happy to head over and get things working as they should.  Thank you very much for giving a call to let us know.

By Marlene, Posted: 02/11/2019

Super friendly and helpful! We were there for a week and I had to call them a couple times and they were always willing to help us with whatever problem we had. Definitely will use them again!

MANAGER COMMENTS:  Thanks Marlene!  We appreciate you contact us anytime we could work on getting something fixed/set right for you.  We hope to see you next year when you're back this way.

By David, Posted: 01/04/2019

Our family stayed here for the Christmas/New Year holiday and had a wonderful time. Very beautiful and clean. We walked a short distance every day to the Corridor trail to ski down to the new Gondola lift. We came back down the Corridor trail from Mary Jane side to get back. Green bus route stops by the ski shop at the bottom of the hill, and will take you to town if you don't want to drive. Attached garage is nice.

MANAGER COMMENTS:  We thank you for sharing your stay with us.  So pleased that the Base Camp location was a good fit for your group.  I love that neighborhood up there in the woods!  Do let us know when you're back this way.

By Linda K, Posted: 08/19/2018

Winter Park Lodging Co is amazing. Our condo was wonderful and renting with you was effortless. Thank you!

MANAGER COMMENTS:  Yay!  We are all so thrilled to read this.  Thanks so much for sharing and hope to host you up this way again.

By Rose, Posted: 02/22/2018

The property management company was so easy and convenient to deal with. They were flexible on early arrival/departure and helpful throughout. The home was cozy, great layout for more than 1 family. Everything we needed was available. Thank you

MANAGER COMMENTS:  Fantastic!  We are so pleased everyone enjoyed staying at Base Camp 494.  The location over there is so great.  We are always happy to help so do let us know when you travel back this way.

By Joel, Posted: 01/16/2018

The 2nd time in abt 5 or 6 years that our two families met up for a long weekend. We've also been guests thru WP Lodging Company several times b4. They are most willing to accompany most reasonable requests, as they did for us on multiple occasions. Service is par excellence. Thank you!

MANAGER COMMENTS:  Excellent!  Thanks Joel for all your continued support.  It's always a pleasure hosting you.  We are thrilled you continue to join us.  See you next trip!

By Melissa, Posted: 08/16/2017

We had a great stay at Base Camp 494. We will definitely be back to utilize the condo in the future. It worked perfectly for an extended family vacation with young children. We enjoyed the large kitchen and dining table for cards and games. A great place for a weekend getaway!

MANAGER'S COMMENTS... Glad to hear you and your family enjoyed all of the amenities this 4 bedroom town home has to offer! Summer is a hidden treasure out here with tons of fun activities and adventures in the mountains. Come back and visit us again soon!

By Jill, Posted: 07/09/2017

Another great family reunion at the Base Camp Condos. Kitchen was extremely well furnished. Plenty of chairs, linens, beds and room for all of us. Any needs were quickly met by friendly, caring Winter Park Lodging employees... can't say enough nice things.

MANAGER'S COMMENTS...We are so proud to be part of your annual reunion.  We would love to host you every year. 

By Jonna, Posted: 04/21/2017

We had a wonderful time and the home was perfect for our group! Just FYI for you, we tried to watch a movie on the main level but it kept cutting out and we didn't know if it was from the blue tooth or what but something with the player isn't connected right. We watched the movie downstairs just fine. Everything was great and we can't say enough - we plan to come back again next year!

MANAGER'S COMMENTS...Sorry to hear about the issue with the movie.  Always give us a call if something isn't working quite right during your visit.  We would love to get it fixed during your stay, so you can enjoy every minute. Our maintenance team will check it out and get it ready for your next visit.  See you soon!

By Stacey, Posted: 08/23/2016

Our family enjoyed staying at Base Camp 494!! The location was perfect for walking to Winter Park Resort and when we went into town we just hopped on the free shuttle. The house has a lot of space to spread out but also has an open layout to all be together. The master bathroom could use a window shade since there is a two way fireplace, the sun just shines right into the master bedroom. Also the guests that slept in the double queen room said it was hot and stuffy even with both windows open. Other than those two things we had a wonderful stay! Thank you!

By Tami, Posted: 08/06/2016

Our family of 6 along with our best friends family of 6 stayed at Base Camp. It was incredible from the start. The customer service, app with all information included, the town home, the creek, scenic views...all of it was spectacular! The house had everything we needed as if we were home. The resort had wonderful activities for all to enjoy. I'm pretty picky and I would definitely recommend this place.

Manager's Comments... So glad to hear this property was the perfect fit for your family and friends. Come back and visit us again soon!

By Gary, Posted: 07/26/2016

We had 11 people in our party and needed a place where everyone had a bed. We found it at Base Camp 494. This 4 bedroom provided the room we all needed to be together and then to have our own space. The kitchen and dining area represent an open concept making it nice to have a family gathering. We provided dinner for 23 people each night in the kitchen and dining and never felt uncomfortable. The location is a convenient 8 min walk to base camp. The management company continued to check on us to make sure everything was going well. Really appreciate how they took care of all items. We certainly will return!

By Dave, Posted: 07/21/2016

Wonderful condo with lots of great features. Needed access to a swimming pool to on my return list. Wonderful to have dishes and silverware for 24! Please buy new knives. These were not good and dull enough to be dangerous!,

Manager's Comments...Thanks so much for staying with us for your family reunion. Make sure to check out our App next time we have included swimming options. I will also pass your info on to the owner as well as our Inspections team to look into getting new utensils. Hope to see you and your family again!

By Warren, Posted: 07/12/2016

A great time was had by all. There were 14 of us for only 2 nights and 13 thereafter. We had 4 cars which turned out to be no problem for parking...the area reserved for snow removal in front of the condo was available. In the winter this could make for a difficult situation. Overall, an outstanding facility. Manager's Comments...So glad you had a wonderful week with the family. In the winter time there is an additional overflow lot that extra cars are allowed to park in. Hopefully we will see you again this winter!

This Winter Park slopeside property is a host's dream. The wonderful stove-oven setup, along with the beautiful dining and living room areas, make for the perfect accoutrements for entertaining friends and family. Then after some golden indoor moments,adventures on the slopes are a brief walk away.

By Janell, Posted: 04/01/2016

House itself was wonderful...met our needs! We were very disappointed that it was NOT a ski in/out as was advertised. Manager's Comments...So happy to hear you enjoyed your time in the house. While we don't advertise the house as pure ski in/ ski out, we may have implied it in our descriptions. Marketing has rewritten the descriptions to show a more accurate report. Come back and see us again. We'll find a better ski in/ ski out property for you.

By Ben, Posted: 03/14/2016

nice place

By Marlene, Posted: 03/05/2016

Washer and dryer didn't work very well Manager Comments: UPDATE: Owners installed a new washer/dryer in late March, 2016. Sorry to hear that Marlene. We will be checking into those machines and contacting the owner. Thanks for letting us know and hope to host you again sometime.

By Dorothy, Posted: 01/20/2016

Base Camp 494 is the condo that we use for all of our meals and gathering time with all 32 people in our party. The bed configuration in each room is great for families and the living area has lots of places to sit. The only issue was the windows in the upstairs bedroom with the two queen beds. The windows are stuck and won't open. With the radiant heat it gets very warm in the upstairs bedrooms. The thermostat was set at 65 in that bedroom but it never went below 75. Everyone I've talked to at the Winter Park Lodging Co. are incredibly polite, courteous, and extremely responsive! Thank you! Manager Comments: Thanks for letting us know about the upstairs windows. We will check those out asap. We will also be checking in with the heat in there. It should be easier to control/regulate those zone better. Thank you! We hope to see you again next year.

By Kay, Posted: 01/04/2016

The property was beautiful and convienentl located. Loved the 3 fireplaces and all the help we got from the property management company. Beautiful kitchen! I wished for a full size washer and dryer but we were able to cope. Thanks

By Evette, Posted: 04/18/2015

Our stay at Base Camp 494 was fabulous. We had a wonderful time with family and friends enjoying our stay. We definitely would come back. Thanks foe everything.

By Marshall, Posted: 03/04/2015

Great service from the rental company and great stay. We'll be back!

By Robert, Posted: 02/01/2015

I have stayed at many properties at WPR with WPLC over the past 10 years. This by far was the most amazing property so far. There were 9 men from all over the country for a boys ski getaway. There was plenty of room for all of us and our gear. The kitchen was amazing for the chefs in the group and the hot tub was needed after shredding all day. We will return to basecamp 494.

By Susan, Posted: 12/27/2014

From the moment Courtney answered the phone, I knew I was in great hands! From lining up shuttle service from the airport, delivery of skis right to our doorstep, discounted lift tickets, the name of a good doctor for a sick child and the delivery of a sick basket. Traveling with three mothers, eight children, our accommodations were perfect! Basecamp 494 gave us plenty of room to spread out, enjoy the hot tub and let's not forget the three fireplaces! What was extra special, having the feeling of our own personal concierge, trust me… The entire staff was fantastic helping me with any questions I had once we arrived in Winter Park!! Thank you so much for making this trip a wonderful experience with lots a great memories!!! This all coming from a General Manager with Hampton Inns!!! Their score.... A perfect 10!!!
