The hotel

Offering home comforts in spacious studios and villas, Boulder Ridge recalls the 1860's railroad hotels of the American West. Surrounded by pine trees and boulders, this resort celebrates the great outdoors - with fun to be had for all ages. From campfire activities to poolside games, and movies under the stars, you can be as active or as chliled as you like during your stay. Dine with Snow White and her seven dwarfs at Artist Pointe - a meal that all the family will enjoy. The villas are equipped with a fully functional kitchen to whip up your own food too of course. And if you stay here, you're just a breezy boat ride away from Magic Kingdom Park too!

We rented points through David’s dvc for the first time and got a great deal on the 1 bedroom villa. It was perfect for my husband, daughter and I. My diagnose slept on the pull down Murphy bed in the living area and it was very comfortable! Much better then the pull out coaches at hotels. We had great trip!

It was a bit too hot (high 90s) so next time we would go in the cooler months but we loved our stay and the room was perfect! Read less

My family of 5 stayed in a deluxe room at Boulder Ridge. The room was extremely clean, spacious and beautifully decorated. We had enough space for all of us and our luggage and never felt crammed. We also had a small kitchenette with a mini fridge (no freezer). The beds are so comfortable and the rooms are very sound proof. The resort grounds are… Read more

Once again things only keep going downhill at these villas. We have been coming for 20 years due to the fact it is our “home” resort for the DVC and have enjoyed it much more in the past. The rooms have been refurbished to bare bones. We are in a studio room as it is just my husband and myself this time. Somewhat larger than an average hotel room… Read more
Once again things only keep going downhill at these villas. We have been coming for 20 years due to the fact it is our “home” resort for the DVC and have enjoyed it much more in the past. The rooms have been refurbished to bare bones. We are in a studio room as it is just my husband and myself this time. Somewhat larger than an average hotel room it feels very plain. No bedside table to charge the phone, place a book or anything. One big long white counter under the TV that hides a child’s pull down bed along with a few drawers. A small fridge and empty cabinets, except for a few paper plates. The water pressure is terrible. And the smell of the water is terrible. I realize it’s built over a swamp and the water in Florida isn’t the best, but couldn’t they use better filters??? The bed is not comfortable so neither my husband nor myself slept well the four nights we were here. The drinks are outrageously expensive (17$ for a margarita in a small Dixie type cup). The last straw was this morning when we were trying to sleep in a little before a long drive. The garbage trucks were right outside our balcony (we were on the third floor) banging the garbage bins and making all kinds of noise at a little before 7. Couldn’t they at least wait until 8? Anyway, the pool area is nice and we do love the relative quiet out by the vacation club pool. We used to love the running trail they had that connected this property to the Fort Wilderness campground but they have done away with that as well to make room for their outrageously expensive cabins. If you have DVC it’s a less “hectic” type place and it is pretty in the lobby and outdoors with all the pine trees. However, if you’re booking it as a hotel room I think you might be disappointed when you see the rooms for the price you have to pay to stay here. Read less
