Sunspot Mountaintop Lodge Winter Park Reviews
I came here to see a friend's band play. The gondola ride up and back down was awesome and the atmosphere was fantastic. Would definitely recommend when in Winter Park.
We bought a Gondala ticket just to go up to Sun Spot (we don't ski). The women who sold us our ticket didn't tell us that the SunSpot was closed. So we paid 50 bucks each to go up there... and it was CLOSED! The employees had everything shut down. We asked if they were reopening later in the evening and she said no. She saw our disappointment and kindly offered a hot cocoa to go (to drown our misery). We didn't eat, but they were throughly cleaning everything and the staff was nice. Wish we could have experienced a drink or two on the deck with those gorgeous views.
Awesome mountain top place to relax have a beer or lunch in the summertime!! The free Gondola 🚠 ride up and down was great, too!!
Winter Park's best view. Typical ski house food. Great cozy bar. Everyone we came across working there were proper with the right attitude.
Beautiful place. We miss the sit down restaurant this used to be but hey, the burgers still hit the spot. It’s always our preferred place to lunch at Winter Park with those amazing views and impressed at the variety of food they serve here. Fries are a bit salty but that seems to be the thing around here ❤️
I didn’t eat here. Just had a local beer and enjoyed the beautiful view. But it’s such a well manicure patio with beautiful flowers. Very nice spot to enjoy a beer.
Park your skis/board on the rack outside and enjoy this nice mid mountain spot to get food! The Chicken tender bowl with mashed potatoes hit the spot! Other food options are also very tasty. Usual pricing for ski food and drinks. Great views and you can *usually* find a spot to sit even on a busy day.
Located at the top of the Gondola in Winter Park, this lodge has delicious burgers, a full bar, and plenty of seating with good spacing. Although pricey, the grille made a flavorful and juicy burger that hit the spot! I definitely recommend getting a locally brewed Mary Jane Ale if you're of age!
5 stars cause the view from up there is breathtaking!!!! The gondola ride alone has such incredible views. I don't ski or snowboard yet, so I was just accompanying my husband who was snowboarding. The history of Mary Jane isn't what you think, ask about it😉 It gets pretty crowded up there during lunch hour. Watch out for the cute birdies on the prowl to fly off with your food left aside. The lodge food is the only downside for various reasons but who goes up there for food anyway? The wonderful views and company is all you need. They have a fully stocked bar too! Do not drink and ski though!
Sunspot Mountaintop Lodge is a great break from the slopes. The inside has very big windows, which give an open view of the beautiful Colorado mountainscape. The menu has several great items. The cost is reasonable; however, the experience is what makes it worthwhile.
Hopped off the Gondola with the dog and went to the lodge for lunch. The menu is limited but the nachos and chicken nuggets with queso were decent and did the trick. Amazing views. The dog wasn't allowed in the lodge and we were told that when we came in because of the hail outside. But the staff was very friendly and helpful with all my questions. We walked to the bottom from the lodge which is a very cool 2.1-mile hike (all downhill). It was July 4th and 42 degrees which was lovely. Highly recommend this place. Hopefully one day they will accept Bitcoin as payment and then get a 5th star.
Food was good; service in restaurant/bar not so much. Beautiful location. Drinks not so good. Music fun. Lots of seating options. Happy Hour is s great idea but can you include sunset in the hours? Gondola ride up was about the smoothest, quietist, cozy, and comfortable I've had at any CO ski resort and its staff is fantastic, friendly, and helpful.
Our lunch was great and we had good service. It was nice to have a healthy(ish) option with a baked potato bar. During our time at Winter Park we also did the Christmas Eve dinner. The prime rib and ham were dry and everything else was ok. With a price of $100/person I was anticipating a nice dinner.
Great place to warm up and grab a water! Not clean at all, food is uninspired and tired. Needs major improvements! Updates needed
It was advertised party 4-7pm We went there on Thursday 2-19-2026(today) It was nothing bear a party 2 guys were playing guitar and singing that we don’t even understand the song
Taqueria inside is absolutely trash. Food came out cold and tostada was soggy. Tacos came out with caramelized onions, told them we asked for none. They took it back to the kitchen and just picked out half the onions. We had to pick out the rest. Don’t fall for the scenic gondola scam, it’s literally just a 5 minute ride up the mountain for $130. Absolute disgrace to Colorado.
