Grand Timber Lodge units

[Judy]

We have an exchange to Grand Timber Lodge, Breckenridge, Colorado in a two-bedroom at the end of this month. Are any units better than others? Which should I request?

In late August, we had a one bedroom unit in a new building. It was on the end and we had out own private garden (acutally garage rooftop).

We LOVED Grand Timber and want to return. The staff was great.

Enjoy!

We are new owners, but have only stayed there one night on a bonus night last August. We stayed in a two bedroom in the main building - where you check in. There is not air conditioning and our unit was above the pool and hot tug, so you could hear the folks having fun till around 10:00 PM, which was a little late for our Grandchildren - ages 2 & 4. Not sure of the building numbers.

avoid the main building

We stayed at Grand Timber Lodge in June 2004 in a unit in a building ajacent to the main office building, and it was much quieter - also avoid the building with the store, restaurant and bar.

It is a lovely place and we had a fantastic time in Breckenridge.

I looked at the property map and am trying to figure out the best building for ski in/out access. Is it building 5 and 6? My husband and son are going 4/2-4/9 for spring break skiing. They have a studio. Is that the lockoff portion of a 3 BR?

calgal, I called Grand Timber yesterday to request a unit location for our stay. I was told that because our exchange was Saturday to Saturday, we would have to stay in buildings 1 - 4. She said that buildings 1 and 2 are close to ski-in, ski-out for peak 8. Building 5 has better access for ski-in, ski-out for peak 9. IMHO, neither of these is truely ski-in, ski-out. From building 1, you have to walk across the road. And according to the website , to access peak 9, you have to ski 50 yards, take off your skis and walk to the lift.

I guess it's better for ski-in than ski-out. My guys have a Sun checkin so I will request bldg 5 or 6 for them. The map looks like bldg 6 a bit closer to lift than bldg 5. Thanks for the info.
