Pines at Meadow Ridge

My family enjoyed a great stay at The Pines at Meadow Ridge. We had a 2 bedroom 2 Bath condo with a fireplace. The units are not new or fancy but the bathrooms and kitchen had newer fixtures & appliances and the entire condo was spotless. The beds & furniture were in good condition and also very clean. The mattress on the sofa bed is too thin to be comfortable for a grown adult but will be fine for kids. The community center that you have access to, has great exercise equipment, a steam room, ping-pong table, two large outdoor spas/hot tubs and a heated pool. The area is just outstanding. We were in a downstairs unit but still had a nice view of the mountains from our patio sliding doors. The condos are just 2 miles from Winter Park and all that the resort has to offer. Plenty of hiking and biking trails in the area. I highly recommend staying at the Pines at Meadow Ridge.

The place has a 1970s feel with bare minimum provided, some of which would not even work. The kettle leaked, it had to be held over th sink to make tea. Coffe maker was 100 years old, broken in parts and coffee provided was a terrible, cheapest pouch you could probably find. Cannot imagine cooking in that kitchen. Furniture and beds as old as the place itself. Mattresses on beds as hard as rocks. No streaming on TV, some lights in our unit also were not working. The worst thing still -checkout is at 9 am. I don't think I ever saw a check out this early anywhere else in the world. Although the place operates as if it were a hotel, you only get a voicemail when you call them at the number provided. Yet the bombard you with automated text messages wishining you a great stay.

The units are very 'outdated' looking inside with dark paneling, plate-ware, cups and stove. The outdoor garbage bins are surrounded by old wood and there is a lot of hooks and chains to maneuver to get to the dumpster before putting your trash in them!
