About this property

Sophie's Stopover - Cozy Renovated Condo Perfect for a Couple, Easy Walk to Groceries, Free Bus

Sophie's Stopover, brought to you by Mountain Vacation Lodging, is an affordable, renovated condo perched just above the Fraser River. It is the perfect place for couples or singles who are looking for something better than a hotel room. This private 1-Bedroom condo includes a kitchen, living room, and full bathroom, and a very convenient location. During the recent renovations (which took place the winter of 2023), the homeowners took what was a studio condo down to the studs, then rebuilt it into the cozy, modern 1 bedroom condo that you see here. They removed the outdated baseboard heating and added radiant electric heat in addition to the electric fireplace. There is a small yet well equipped kitchen with a fridge, small 4 burner electric stove, microwave, toaster, crockpot, etc. There is no dishwasher, so if that's a necessity for your group, this probably isn't the place for you. A great breakfast bar provides one option for dining, but there are also fold out tv tables, if you prefer to dine in front of the tv. Speaking of which, the TV is a high definintion SmartTV, so you can easily stream your favorite content. The bedroom features a Queen size bed and has a nook that is perfect for luggage and clothing storage, as well as getting dressed for your day of adventure. A pocket door separates the bedroom from the living room, for additional privacy. This condo has everything you need, but to top it off, the condo building also has a nice communal area with a large gas fireplace and a laundry room (coin-operated).

PROPERTY LAYOUT – Single level corner unit on the 2nd floor of the complex
Kitchen with Breakfast Bar (Seating for 2)
Living Room with HD SmartTV & Electric Fireplace
Bedroom #1 – Queen Bed, Luggage Rack
Bathroom #1 – Shower, Toilet, Single Sink

Location:
This condo is located just above the Fraser River and the Safeway grocery store. A short walk of about 300 meters will bring you to the Safeway, Bottle Pass Liquors, a local ski shop, and more. Guests who visit in Spring, Summer, or Fall can walk, jog, or stroll along the Fraser River Trail. Bring your fishing rod and try your luck! The free bus picks up and drops off right by this condo as well. This bus stop is served by 4 different bus routes including the black "express" route, with services from the Winter Park Resort base to and from this property, and in the other direction, all the way to Granby. Review routes by google searching for "The Lift Winter Park". This bus stop is called "Safeway @ CR 804". The Fraser Amtrak train station is only 0.7 miles (1.1 kilometers) from the condo, so if you're coming in by train, it is walkable to the condo, but a bus ride or Uber will get you to this condo very quickly. The base of the Winter Park Ski Resort is only 6.5 miles away and of course, has plenty of parking as well as frequent bus service.

After booking, a Vacation Rental Agreement will be provided. All guests are required to sign the agreement within 72 hours of booking, and prior to occupying the property. There may be other requirements. For example, Guests may be required to provide additional information about the group that will occupy the property and or identification documents. Background checks may be performed, and in some areas are required by local law. Guests may be required to provide a credit card and or a refundable security/damage deposit. We will be in touch after you book to gather additional information and to email you the rental agreement, which you can sign electronically - no printer required. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us before booking.
** Amenities - Some private or shared amenities may not be available for guest use during certain periods. Some amenities, when part of a property, may close daily, seasonally, or for maintenance. As such, all amenities can not be guaranteed to be available at all times. Please advise us when or before booking if you have questions about a specific property amenity so that we can give you the most accurate information possible for your dates.
** Air Conditioning - Most mountain resort properties were not built with air conditioning. During most hours of the day and weeks of the year, AC is not needed. Summer nights are cool and fans are provided at most properties. Check the average high and low temperatures and weather forecast for your dates of travel, and look at the list of amenities to see if AC or fans are part of the rental property and look for ceiling fans in photos.
** Group Sizes, High Occupancy Fees, & Maximum Occupancy - Some properties use a “High Occupancy Fee” to “raise the rate” for larger groups, and are thus able to list a lower nightly rate for smaller groups. Each rental agreement and associated rates are for a specific group size. Guests must enter the correct and maximum group size at the time of booking. The agreement requires a guest to confirm the group size and subsequently, to disclose any changes to the planned group size, which may result in an increase, or decrease, to the total cost, and may result in a security deposit becoming required.
** Video & Noise Monitoring - Please note that noise monitoring devices, and security cameras, do exist on the exterior of the property. Cameras are positioned to cover all entrances and exits of the home. Cameras are present to ensure the property remains secure and safe, as well as to ensure that guests are honest and upfront about their planned use of the property. If you plan to bring more people than you've indicated, more dogs than indicated, to host a party or event, or do not intend to respect neighbors or the value and quality of the property, then this is not the place for you, and you should not book the property. For normal, respectful groups, we are sorry that these statements and measures are necessary. Security cameras and noise monitoring devices are an example and demonstration that the property's owners are taking steps to ensure the home remains available for rental, and in good condition, for your benefit. Please let us know if you have any concerns.
** Cleaning Fees & Lengthy Rental Periods - The standard cleaning fee quoted as part of any booking is for the final cleaning, which is to be performed after the rental period has ended. For guests who are booking a lengthy stay of more than one week, a mid stay-cleaning fee equal to the final cleaning fee may apply for the second week, third week, and so on. If you are booking for a lengthy stay, please contact us before booking online to discuss your group, your dates, the rates, the cleaning schedule, etc.

Weekend in Fraser
We enjoyed our weekend stay at this facility. It is small, but well equipped and well located. We were disappointed that there were not instructions in the unit on how to use the heater, fireplace, etc.

Good value for the money
Very clean and comfortable apartment. It is rather small, but this was reflected in the price. I would stay here again, but only for a few days. It was convenient having Safeway nearby.

Cute place with a beautiful view
Although it was little smaller than we expected, this condo was well-suited to our needs. The property manager, Alexis, was very attentive and helpful to our questions/concerns. I would highly recommend this property.

Perfect spot and cozy place
Had a great stay. It’s in the perfect location to get anywhere. The place was super clean and the property manager got right back to me when I had a question. It was also super quiet at night, which made it even better. I went during the slow season, so maybe it’s a lot crazier in the Winter. Definitely recommend.

The property description is misleading. The 2nd fireplace must have been in the hidden closet. There is no way 3 people can cohabit the space. It is about the same size as a medium hotel room. While it feels like 250 sq ft, it is advertised larger. That said, it is nicely updated. There were a couple wrinkles - really bad water pressure for shower and the locks were difficult.

Unpleasant experience
The ad said “sleeps 3” so we were expecting a sofa bed additionally to the bed, there was only a couch, we asked for extra blankets we were told,“ there’s some in the closet “, no closet in the property. Ran out of toilet paper there was only a partial roll on the holder. After a set of very uncomfortable phone calls we were told to deal with it on our own, to buy blankets and an inflatable mattress and that they’ll refund us for it. That means to spend our Christmas vacation looking for stores that sells these items while the roads are covered with snow, the nearest store in Fraser Colorado is a Safeway which is a grocery store . We are very unhappy and unsatisfied, specialty because our 17 year old daughter had to sleep in the 4’ couch. This place isn’t suitable for a family of 3, but if you still decide to stay here make sure to bring a good white noise machine since you can hear everything the ppl from other units are doing and ppl coming up and down the stairs. Worst experience ever. They ruined our Christmas for being so dishonest.
