Exhibit 99.1

December 5, 2016

Dear Fellow Stockholder:

On November 18, 2016, CMG Partners, LLC launched an unsolicited mini-tender offer to purchase up to 4,000,000 shares of CNL Lifestyle Properties common stock at a price of $1.31 per share in cash.

Our board of directors recommends that stockholders reject the offer. We are not affiliated with CMG or their offer. We believe the CMG offer price is significantly less than the potential value of your shares that we have publicly disclosed recently.

We think that the offer is an opportunistic attempt by CMG to purchase shares at a low price and make a profit, and as a result, deprive our stockholders who sell their shares, of the potential opportunity to realize a full current value for their investment. In CMG’s own words —“Our offer price was determined by applying an approximate 39% discount to the mid-point of CNL’s estimated range of future values ($2.17)”, and “Whether or not CNL’s estimate of future value proves to be accurate, we believe that the company’s shares are worth more than our offer price.” Furthermore, CMG did not obtain current appraisals of any properties in our portfolio to demonstrate fair market value.

This offer, known as a “mini-tender”, is structured to avoid the filing, disclosure and procedural requirements adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for the protection of investors. The SEC has cautioned investors about these types of offers, noting that important protections do not apply to mini-tender offers. The SEC’s Investor Tips regarding mini-tender offers and some of the risks that they pose may be found on the SEC’s website at sec.gov/investor/pubs/minitend.htm.

As you may recall, just last month we announced the signing of a definitive agreement to sell our remaining ski and attractions assets to two well-capitalized entities, EPR Properties (NYSE: EPR) and Ski Resort Holdings LLC (an affiliate of Och-Ziff Capital Management Group), for $830 million, which will consist of $183 million cash and approximately $647 million of EPR common stock. We are working to complete the sale in the second quarter of 2017; however, we cannot predict the exact timing of its completion or whether the transaction closes at all.

In connection with the transactions contemplated by the sale agreement, our board of directors unanimously approved a plan of liquidation and dissolution for the company, which is subject to, among other things, approval of the plan of dissolution by our stockholders. Including the $0.50 per share special liquidating distribution recently paid, we currently estimate that stockholders will receive, upon liquidation and dissolution, an amount within an estimated range of $2.60 and $2.75 per share in cash and EPR common shares.

We recognize that due to the suspension of our stock redemption plan, the lack of a trading market for our shares, and the uncertainty as to the timing of future distributions, stockholders may decide to accept the mini-tender offer based on, among other things, their individual liquidity needs. We acknowledge that each stockholder must evaluate whether to tender their shares based on all the information available, including our recent public filings. We also believe that in making a decision, each stockholder should keep in mind that our board of directors can provide no assurance with respect to future distributions or the value of our shares, which can change periodiodically, or future liquidity timing for stockholders.

PLEASE CONSULT WITH YOUR FINANCIAL AND TAX ADVISORS BEFORE MAKING ANY DECISIONS AFFECTING YOUR INVESTMENT.

If you are interested in selling your shares, there may be other options available to you. However, because trading on the secondary market is limited, if you desire immediate liquidity, accepting a mini-tender offer may be the quickest way of achieving liquidity.

If you have any questions regarding the offer or other recent events mentioned in this letter, please contact your financial advisor, or call CNL Client Services at 866-650-0650, option 3.

Sincerely,
