Dick, Glad you and your group enjoyed; we love the Ptarmigan location too! Thanks, Jim

Thank you, Scott. We're no always perfect, but if something is not right, if you let us know, we work to fix it.

Thank you! Always glad to hear that our guests enjoyed Vail! We started coming to Vail in the ‘70s. If guests are interested, we send them guides to navigating Vail/Beaver Creek and guides to restaurants. As most reviews mention, Ptarmigan is an excellent location for enjoying Vail at a moderate price.

Glad to hear that Jill and her group enjoyed their stay in our townhouse. The Ptarmigan Townhouse complex is a great out-of-village location with the rec path and the free bus into Lionshead and Vail Village.

Kathy, thank you for taking the time to write a review, and a good one at that! Signe and I are always happy to hear that our guests enjoyed their stay.

We thank Ellen for taking the time to write such an extensive review. Not everything will ever be perfect, but we try! So happy our guests enjoyed! Jim

Thank you for your review, Casey. Guilty as charged: great location and view of Gore Creek, convenient bus stop, nice hot tub, clean and neat condition, good working order, two bathrooms, two large bedrooms and one small. All Ptarmigan units were initially built with the same floor plan with two large upstairs bedrooms. The middle sleeping area did not exist. The second floor was open from the ground floor dining room area through the second floor to the vaulted ceiling and skylight. Over the years most units have dropped in a floor above the dining area, usually creating a sleeping area. Some have also added a permanent wall and some nothing at all, leaving the area open to the hallway. We installed an accordion door to give some privacy and, if desired, to allow the hall to be a part of the room space. Regardless, it is a small area, but we feel it is well represented in our pictures, picture narratives, video, etc. The middle bedroom fits much in the limited space with a dresser, hanging rack, bedside table with reading light, flatscreen TV and DVD player. Thank you, Casey, for also pointing out what really makes Ptarmigan Townhomes a great value: its location. The bus stop at Ptarmigan's entrance is a three-minute ride to the non-congested Cascade Lift bus stop and then a two minute walk from the free bus to the lift. If you do not get off at Cascade, the next stop gets you into Lionshead and then into Vail Village. We have repeat guests who stay for a week to a month and do not rent a car because of the bus option and walkability to stores, restaurants, etc.. Finally, Ptarmigan nightly rates are significantly less than Vail Village prices. Our location on Gore Creek is frosting on the cake!

We are always happy to hear that guests have enjoyed their stay In our townhome. The complex's location and access to Vail's free bus is something we too enjoy. We plan to retire in our rental unit next door. We do strive to keep the unit well stocked and to be responsive to the questions and complaints of our guests, which we solicit. Even though we live in Philadelphia, one or both of us visits our units every three-to-four weeks during ski season (I work for an airline) to restock, repair, etc.; things our maid doesn't have on her list of things to do during the quick turn-arounds of the ski season. Our guest's comments help us know what to address. We look forward to having Evelyn and her group return!

Must be Mike or Cindy...thanks for the nice review and for finishing the ski season with us. I really can't add much to your thorough review. We love Vail and our Ptarmigan location and, now being retired, look forward to spending more time there ourselves! Come visit in beautiful summer or fall and use that pool (or maybe tube Gore Creek when spring runoff subsides). Remember the saying, "People come to Vail for the skiing in the winter but stay because of the beautiful summer and fall!" Thanks again, Jim
