This property is very popular for family reunions and corporate retreats. Emberwood is among the largest private rentals in Winter Park.

The basement bunk room offers 7 built in queen size bunk beds, a rec area, pinball and Foosball. (There is a ninth room with a queen bed located just off the kitchen with an attached 3/4 bath shared with the living area. Since there is no window we have not included this in the bedroom or sleeping count.) Located on a hillside above the Fraser River with unobstructed views of Byer's Peak the setting is as beautiful as it is convenient.

The lodge was the perfect home for our work retreat of 25 people. The rooms were comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked and we were able to cook together easily, and the ability to have a separate wings for those seeking quieter accommodations was perfect for our group. I’d highly recommend staying here and hope to return with our group in the future.
Great place for a family reunion. The deck was especially wonderful and accommodated a large group comfortably. Wonderful views! The kitchen was well stocked and easy for multiple people to work in. Plenty of seating for group meals. This was our second year here and we look forward to coming here again for our yearly reunion!

Thanks Judy for joining us again this year. I'm so glad you had a great time.
The house suited my extended family of 20 perfectly! We spent most evenings by the fireplace playing games and cooking together. Several very large stock pots made for great soup and chili nights. It’s rare to find a place that can so comfortably fit this many people and this is the best we’ve stayed at so far! Very convenient to everything. House is stocked with everything you could possibly need. Extra hot water temps, and the strong water pressure will make you wish you didn’t have to leave. We hope to come back again some day!
Our family loved the location. Close to lots of activities. Favorite spot had to be the deck with beautiful views but the main living area also comfortably accommodated our large group.
We stayed here for a ski trip to Winter Park. The location was great as it was a short walk from the shuttles that takes you to the mountain and is also close to everything else you need (grocery store, rental shop, etc.) Owner is super easy to work with and very responsive. The place is well kept, has everything you need and a great place for large groups.
Great location,supply of necessities more than adequate, and the bunk room was great for the grandchildren. A beautiful view and close to many outdoor activities Close to Rocky Mountain National park and Grand Lake. We had a small problem with the fireplace and the repair person was out within the hour to fix it. Definitely would recommend. Thank you Andrew for helping us have a wonderful vacation.
We enjoyed our stay. The house was large and accommodating for our group of 26. It had everything we needed including a pack n play and high chair for the baby. The location was excellent for all activities. We would definitely stay here again.
The house was great. It was perfect for family members of different ages to be together as well as to have their own space. It’s in a great location for a variety of day outings. The kids loved the slide and gondola at Winter Park and everyone enjoyed the local hikes. The views were fabulous and the outside porch was a great place for our family dinners. The owner is a great communicator. We had one minor problem and the owner had it fixed immediately.
This was the perfect house for our family reunion! We had plenty of space and enjoyed the beautiful mountain views from the upstairs great room. Having 2 kitchens was really helpful for all the cooking. The teens enjoyed the game room and the nearby rec center. The location was close to lots of activities, restaurants, and shopping. The owner provided lots of info in advance and was very responsive to questions. Highly recommend!

I’m glad you enjoyed the town and the property. Hope to host you again.
Great house for large family gatherings. Lots of comfortable beds, several living areas, and a fantastic location. Our family enjoyed the hot tub and game rooms and had plenty of room for family dinners. Well stocked kitchen and 3 laundry rooms! We enjoyed an art fair, downhill mountain biking, lake day, and river rafting. All around a fantastic vacation.
Perfect place for large family vacation together. Lots of room to spread out still be together. Everything you need is there. But there are a lot of stairs for 4 levels of the house. I recommend this place to everyone.

Perfect House for a large party & celebratory weekend!
We had a wonderful time staying at Ember Lodge, it was extremely comfortable for 28 people. Andrew was extremely communicative and flexible with our check in times and accommodations. It’s difficult to find places for large groups, I highly recommend this spot. My husband and I were able to celebrate our marriage with 26 family and friends, without stress or worry!
This lodge is first rate! Worked very well for our family gathering of 32 people. Location is great for bike riding
and bringing the bus back. Access to the Club Meadows Ridge was well used for the swimming pool and spa.

The house is amazing and the service with the property manager was excellent.

Thank you for everything!!!
The house was clean and a perfect venue for our family reunion. The house worked great for people of all ages and the location is great! There were a couple times I had questions and Andrew responded promptly with answers and options for us. Overall excellent experience!
I can’t put into words how perfect this house was for our family vacation! First off the location is perfect close to everything we wanted to do, the views from house were beautiful! The layout was perfect to accommodate 20 adults and 4 kids easily!
Everything was as pictured and the amenities were great! The kitchen was best stocked.VRBO I have been at!
We truly made tons of memories here and will be back! The host were also so great at answering my questions
Ember Lodge home was beautiful with lots of space for our large family. It took a while to learn our way around, but it was very comfortable. Andrew was an excellent communicator, answering my emails and questions in a timely manner. I would definitely rent this home again. We absolutely loved it!!
Loved the interesting lay out, which took us a while to get use to. But once we did...wahooo, all was great! mThe large table was big enough for us all to eat together! View was beautiful, sleeping was great and the close activities were fun!. We especially enjoyed the recreation center that was INCLUDED in our stay.

I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay and were able to use the Meadowridge club. Yes, it is unique—almost like two homes in one.
This gorgeous home perfectly fit our large family as we gathered to celebrate Thanksgiving in the mountains! The house was well stocked, clean, and beautifully decorated. The great room with its cozy fireplace was the perfect place to gather for meals, game playing, and conversations. Everyone enjoyed the large hot tub! The location of the house was convenient to get to the ski resort and grocery store. We would highly recommend this home to others seeking a place for large groups to gather.

About the host
Hosted by Andrew Batson
My wife and I own a real estate brokerage and custom home building company in Colorado. My wife is one of those that hates staying in hotels...She requires a five star hotel and even then its not to her standards. We build multi-million dollar homes and have taken the care and attention in furnishing our vacation home. So her approach to furnishing the home and the cleaning is an exceptionally high standard. All the furniture is new in 2017 and most is from Restoration Hardware. White bone china, new serving utensils, etc. are all new in 2017. The beds are very high quality and the linens are minimum 400 or 800 thread count. The main beds all have feather beds with a white duvet cover that is washed between each guest stay. Towels are of course brand new, very plush. High speed wireless internet and expanded Comcast cable is available throughout the property. All TVs are equipped with a streaming device so you can log into your own Netflix, Amazon or other streaming account. Bottom line is that the property will be new inside and furnished like you would expect at a Ritz Carlton.
Why they chose this property
Whether its a get away with a group of friends, a family reunion or a special occasion like a wedding (although we do not allow weddings or receptions at the property) who wants to be spread out between a bunch of hotel rooms or condos. It's soooo much more fun to be together...especially if you have the space to maintain your own privacy plus common areas to spend time together. With four separate decks, 9 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms you'll have plenty of private space for adults. And the kids will be IN LOVE with the 1000 sqft bunk room with 7 queen beds foosball, a pinball machine, sofa and 55" TV with gaming system (plus a theater and game room in the attic as well). Whether it's sitting by the outdoor fire with amazing views of Byers Peak (or in the hot tub on the deck below) or enjoying a memorable meal in the massive great room this place is all about the memories!
What makes this property unique
If you're looking for a place with privacy and space for multiple families, yet demand luxury and cleanliness then this newly remodeled, luxuriously finished home may be just what you are looking for. Located near Winter Park Ski Resort and Rocky Mountain National Park, and Grand Lake this is a beautiful multi-season retreat.
