Whistle Stop Bed & Breakfast

he owners of the Whistle Stop Bed & Breakfast love travelers from all over the United States and the world. In fact, it was their interest in other people, travel, skiing, and other outdoor recreation that led them to open their B & B in Fraser, Colorado, just five miles from the world class Winter Park Ski Resort, one block from the Winter Park Amtrak station and a short distance to national forests with their hiking and biking trails. We speak English, Spanish and Russian.

Fraser, Colorado is a former logging town with an interesting history which includes Ute Indians, pioneer settlement by the Cozen, Morrow and Clayton families and Dr. Susan Anderson, pioneer physician; development of the railway west, the location of a German Prisoner of War camp and being President Dwight Eisenhower's favorite place to fish and visit old friends.

Open since August, 1996, the Whistle Stop Bed & Breakfast is in a home built in 1987; contemporary in design and decor, it is decorated in a bright and cheerful manner, featuring the watercolors of Karen Vance, a local prize-winning artist. Clean and roomy for all of your travel necessities, each of the three guest rooms has a queen bed and a private bath, with bathtub and shower, clock radio, closet and drawer clothing storage. A five person hot tub on the deck with fabulous views of the Continental Divide peaks and the Winter Park Ski Resort rounds out the physical amenities.

Start your day right with a complete down-home breakfast, Whistle Stop style, that always features freshly ground and brewed coffee, a wide selection of teas, fruit juice and fresh fruit salad. Homemade biscuits or toast, potatoes, thick sliced bacon or sausage and eggs cooked to your taste are standard fare; occasional options include pancakes, waffles, or French toast with pure maple syrup. Grits are always available upon request!

Help yourself to the bottomless cookie jar before you go out to recreate and then return to the comfort of the hot tub, which has special jets to massage your feet, calves and back! The ski area free shuttle stops just a block away making the whole Winter Park Fraser Valley easily accessible without a car. After a wonderful meal at one of many fine area restaurants, several within walking distance, you may wish to relax and watch one of the movies in our collection of videos. You may prefer to just sit by the wood stove and dream about tomorrow!
