Prime Investment Properties LLC, a leading hospitality brokerage firm and member of Hotel Brokers International, is proud to announce the exclusive listing of Hideaway Mountain Lodge, a beloved 13-room independent mountain lodge set on more than four scenic acres at 425 County Road 5001, just four miles outside the town of Fraser, Colorado. Tucked into the heart of the Fraser Valley — yet only 10 miles from Winter Park Resort, 18 miles from Granby Ranch, and 34 miles from Rocky Mountain National Park — the property offers an existing operation along with a 3BR owner/manager’s quarters.
This is a rare opportunity for investors, owner-operators, and entrepreneurial families seeking an income-producing hospitality asset with multiple paths to value creation — from continued boutique lodging to group and retreat hosting, a wedding and events venue, short or long-term housing potential.
The lodge pairs authentic 1980s mountain character with thoughtful modern updates: 13 distinct guest rooms accommodating one to five guests, several with wood-burning fireplaces and adjoining configurations, an indoor heated pool, hot tub, and dry sauna open year-round, a game and movie room, library, and a guest experience anchored by homemade breakfast and fresh-baked afternoon cookies. With no two rooms alike and a deliberately intimate scale, Hideaway has cultivated a loyal, returning guest base and a strong reputation across booking platforms.
“Hideaway Mountain Lodge is one of the most unique mountain hospitality listings we’ve brought to market,” said Dan Emert, Managing Principal, Prime Investment Properties LLC. “This isn’t just a charming lodge with a devoted following — it’s a flexible, four-season asset sitting at the doorstep of a $2 billion resort expansion. Winter Park is on its way to becoming the third-largest ski area in Colorado, and Hideaway gives the right buyer a foothold in that growth story, whether they want to run it as-is, reposition it for groups and weddings, or convert it to high-demand mountain housing. Opportunities with this much upside, at this scale, simply don’t come along often.”
A Market on the Rise: Winter Park Unlocked
The lodge’s timing could hardly be better. Winter Park Resort’s multi-year master plan, “Winter Park Unlocked,” is a roughly $2 billion vision approved by the Town of Winter Park, with construction targeted to begin as early as summer 2026. The plan adds hundreds of acres of new skiable terrain on Vasquez Mountain — positioning Winter Park to become Colorado’s third-largest ski area behind only Vail and Steamboat — alongside a town-to-resort gondola, expanded snowmaking, new on-mountain dining, thousands of new residential units, and significant commercial development.
For a lodging asset just minutes away, the implications are profound: rising visitation, growing year-round demand, increased workforce housing needs, and sustained pressure on regional accommodations — all powerful tailwinds for both nightly lodging revenue and alternative-use values.
Multiple Paths to Value
Hideaway Mountain Lodge’s scale, layout, and acreage make it unusually adaptable. Prospective owners can pursue one strategy or blend several:
- Boutique lodging (in place today): Continue operating the proven 13-room nightly rental model with an established guest following and strong reviews.
- Group & retreat hosting: Full-lodge buyouts for reunions, corporate retreats, and wellness gatherings — a fast-growing segment already supported by the property’s common spaces and amenities.
- Wedding & events venue: Continental Divide views, two-plus acres, and intimate lodging make a natural setting for destination weddings and special events.
- Short or long-term housing: Convert all or part of the lodge to address the acute and growing demand for mountain workforce and seasonal housing driven by the resort expansion.
- Lifestyle business: An owner-operator’s dream — a turnkey mountain enterprise with a home base in one of Colorado’s most desirable valleys.
