A-Frame Club

Thirty-one A-frame cabins sit at the base of Winter Park Resort, backed up against the Fraser River in Winter Park, Colorado. The design leans mid-century: tall ceilings, birch wood interiors, custom Malm fireplaces, soaking tubs, ski storage and a full kitchenette in each cabin, with mountain views out most windows.

A hot tub, sauna and cold plunge sit outside among the trees for guests to use during a stay, and a wood-fired restaurant on site serves a seasonal menu built around local Colorado ingredients, good for refueling after a day on the slopes. Breakfast -- burritos, bagels and house pastries -- is included with a booking. The property also hosts weddings and corporate retreats, with dedicated event space alongside the cabins.

The location puts guests within walking distance of Winter Park Resort, and the Amtrak California Zephyr connects directly to Denver International Airport, offering an alternative to driving I-70. In summer, the area opens up to hiking, biking and a mountaintop putting course; in winter, it's ski-in proximity without the resort-town markup of some neighboring towns.

Booking runs direct through aframeclub.com. Stays of four nights or more get a 25% discount with a promo code, though that offer applies only to direct bookings and excludes holidays. Price tier lands in the upscale range, fitting for a cabin with a sauna, fireplace, kitchenette and on-site dining all included.
