About this property
Winter Wren Mount Washignton Village
In the heart of the Alpine Village is the Winter Wren, a perfect place for one or two families to spread out and enjoy. From here you can ski to the lifts or stare at the views of Strathcona Park. Here to relax? We have you covered; with no vehicle traffic you can watch the kids play outside without having to worry. Have fun playing a variety of board games, make memories and soak up the magic of the Alpine Vilage in style this winter at the Birdhouse. We are a ski out chalet and at the end of the day you will have to take your skis off to walk up the hill- the magic at the top is worth it!
The Winter Wren is a pet free accommodation; no exceptions.
During the winter months the village is walk in only. From the parking lot it is about a 7-8 minute walk to the Winter Wren and a 5 minute walk from the unloading area. We provide one complimentary shuttle in to deliver your bags and gear to your holiday home during ski season. The Winter Wren is designated for two parking spots during the winter months in the village parking lots.
During the summer/fall months you can drive right up to the Wren. There is road parking beside the building or you can park in Dougan's parking lot.
Note: The bunk beds are located in a common loft area.
Looking for a larger place? Check out the Dicky Bird to combine the Dicky Bird and the Wren for the whole family to enjoy
**Parking during the Winter Months: Please note, a week prior to your trip you will be asked to provide your license plate number along with a reachable phone number while on the mountain. This is required for vehicle parking registration PRIOR to your arrival. Vehicles not registered or parking information provided at the time of arrival may risk the vehicle being towed. The Winter Wren has been assigned parking for 2 vehicles only. Additional parking passes are not available at this time.

Everything we needed was there, the hosts were helpful and quick to respond. Place was clean and beautiful. Loved the locations closeness to the parking lot/ not too difficult of a hike to the ski lift
Great communication and cute place! The living room seating comfortably fits 5 people. It was nice to have the alpine shuttle included to take our stuff to the rental. Thanks!

We enjoyed our time at Winter Wren. The unit was very well appointed and clean. We liked the character of the furnishing and decorating and the unit was very spacious for us. The views of Mount Washington ski hill from the living room windows are lovely, and because we were there in July, the area was very quiet. Communication with the hosts was also very good.
Great place with all the details you could desire taken care of. White noise machines, towels for the gear room, sharp knives and all the gadgets you need in the kitchen! It was quiet even with other people staying in the attached units. Super cozy, incredibly responsive hosts and cute touches for Christmas. We had everything we needed. All that was missing was a fireplace, but it was still cozy and comfortable for the holidays. Thank you!FYI If you have mobility issues this is not the easiest place to get to but it is on a great hill for sledding which was great for our family!!!
Overall great place to stay. We enjoyed our time here, it was clean and well maintained. It was close to parking and there’s an accessible lift right down the road.
Winter Wren was fantastic. Great kitchen with everything you would need to cook meals. Hosts were very responsive when I had questions. The third bed in the bedroom is a trundle bed for a child, so something to take note of if you have a larger group. A bit longer of a walk to the lodge if you are going up in the winter, but a good location. Would fully recommend and will definitely go back.
Amazing location, unreal views, super clean and organized!!
Everything was perfect, clean, had all accessories from in the kitchen to snow toys. Me and my kids absolutely enjoyed our stay and would recommend it.tp anyone!
Ps no parties and it was very quiet and welcoming

Price wise was good. It was good place to stay the fact if you didn’t have coffee, sugar or cream if you are an early riser and like that first coffee you are out of luck unless you go half an hour down the mountain. We were a little further away from what the kids enjoy doing
We enjoyed our stay here. The condo was very clean and stocked with everything you need. We enjoyed the view on the deck for after supper drinks. It would be nice if there was more seating on the deck. There is technically accommodation for 8, but it’s tight with that many people. But when you’re on vacation, you’re only really there to sleep anyways.
From start to finish the communication was clear and very easy. Our family loved the gorgeous views, peace and quite (except for our kids, lol), and more. The accomodation was great and well stocked. I have no issues what so ever recommending this place to anyone interested. You won’t be disappointed!
We were really happy with our stay. The place was super clean, great layout for our family, and had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and a great time. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. The views from every window is incredible, and staying in the village is always a great time.
We had a wonderful time! The cabin is really spacious and had everything we needed with lots of extra towels and bedding. Beautiful spot and we would definitely return again!
A wonderful condo, with plenty of space for everyone! Very easy check in& checkout experience. Lots of extra blankets, towels etc. which is always handy on a family vacation.
We were a group consisting of 3 moms and kids. The location was great for hiking, mountain biking (resort staff is awesome!) and the apartment had a great ambience for social time.
The bunk bed "room" was the only disappointment as it was not a contained room and the bunk beds were in the upstairs staircase landing.
The kitchen was very well supplied with pots and dishes.
Thank you for a great week!
The location and property were great, lots of space and perfect for a nice weekend away. Everything was clean and instructions were clear. Would definitely book again!
The Wren was a great place for a stay - clean rooms, kitchen utensils and dishes were more than sufficient and the beds and furniture were all comfortable
