Drawing travelers with stylish 1970s-inspired design nods and elevated culinary offerings, A-Frame Club is a throwback to classic, time-honored mountain hospitality. Guests enjoy wooded privacy across 31 stand alone A-Frame cabins situated on three acres in historic Old Town Winter Park. The project’s après-focused Saloon opened in December 2022, and the first A-Frame cabins opened the following month. Settle into the cedar, fir and birch-paneled chalets, and enjoy a main floor living room, kitchenette and full bath with a lofted bedroom and freestanding Onsen-style soaking tub. Fish, hike, bike and explore the Fraser Valley by day, and sip craft cocktails and share stories around the community fire pit by night.
