Employee Housing


Welcome to the Winter Park Resort Employee Housing page.

Our Employee housing is extremely limited, and it is prioritized by position worked. Most employees make housing arrangements independently. If you’re thinking of relocating to the Winter Park area, securing housing should be a top priority. Most employees find housing on Craigslist by searching in the small towns in the area, including: Winter Park, Fraser, Tabernash, and Granby. Grand County Garage Sale is a local Facebook page used as a community forum for housing leads. Hiring managers, along with the Human Resources office have a list of leads to help temporary residents find affordable housing options. Don’t have a car? Don’t worry. There is free public transportation via the Lyft Bus transit system.

This information is provided as a general guide to new employees. If you are offered and accept a position, ask your hiring manager for an Employee Housing Application Form.

There are numerous other housing locations in and around the Winter Park area. If Employee Housing is full, we recommend checking for local housing options using the sources listed at the end of this page. Fewer than 10% of resort employees live in our employee housing units.
