This house is in a great location - just a block or two from Vail Village, but in a neighborhood so it is quiet. It backs up to a pond with a beaver home, so we enjoyed watching the beaver swim around and collect branches, as well as a funny little fox who came and went frequently. The house is very comfortable and was perfect for our trip.

Beautiful House in Great Location

Loved the location and we easily walked to Gondola One each day for skiing (with skis stored near Gondola One). We also easily walked to Lionshead or Vail Village for dinners throughout our stay.

Wonderful New Years Stay

The property was as advertised. Very clean, close to the Village and Lifts. It was an easy walk to the heart of Vail, but nice to be a few blocks away on a quiet lovely street right near a beautiful stream. Highly recommend!

Great cabin, Close to everything!

Our family and friends really enjoyed this cabin for the week. The process was easy and the cabin was set up great for a wonderful week with our family. The fireplace was awesome and the hot tub was hot. Walking distance to Vail Village was key and the bus stopped about 5 mins away from the house. Highly recommended!

Memorable Trip

The house is amazing and Michelle was super helpful throughout our stay. The house is a pretty cool design and well equipped, we especially enjoyed the hot tub after a long day skiing. The house is well situated with an easy walk into vail village for dinner and a ~8 minute walk to the slopes. We will defiantly book this property again as it checks every box.

We had a nice 5 days in Vail and this property was well-located and cozy. To be fair, it's a solid minimum 10-minute walk to Vail Gondola. Given that thjere is nowhere in the house to store your skiis and boots, and given the solid walk, I would suggest storing your skiis at one of the storage options near Vail Gondola. The house is comfortable and clean, but severely outdated and very tight on space. The rooms are very small and the common living room space is difficult to enjoy if you are more than 6 people. It is architectural interesting, but it clearly needs a facelift. The property manager was very communicative and responsive which is always a bonus and helpful.

Wonderful House

This is my 2nd visit to this property and it doesn’t disappoint. Easy walk to Vail center and the gondola. The house is so comfortable and has everything you could possibly want in a vacation home. Love the wood burning fireplace. Michelle is quick to respond with any questions. Will definitely return.

Amazing Stay in Vail

We had a great stay in Vail. The house couldn't be better located. We enjoyed walking into town and to the gondola to ski each day. The house was well stocked with fire wood and has a beautiful fireplace, nice kitchen with good kitchen tools/pots/pans. The bedrooms/baths were nice and it is convenient that each King can be split into two twins. If you have younger kids, note there are some tight corners and the living room & den are combined and on the smaller side. The property manager Michelle was wonderful and very responsive.

Amazing Vail Home

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this gem of a home in Vail. Anything we could think of was accommodated for by the property manager. We were able to walk to the village and gondola one which made skiing super easy and fun to enjoy. The hot tub was a great way to end the days and the fireplace was amazing especially at night with a glass of wine. See will be back in June of 2024 because we loved this home so much.

Nice Place in Quiet, Convenient Location

This is a unique architectural property. The location is in between the two gondolas, so you can decide which way to go each day. An 8 minute walk either way, and a short walk to restaurants and amenities. Michelle was very responsive and made check in/check out easy. Recommend that you use one of the upstairs bedrooms as the master; they are a bit larger and have a more convenient bathroom set up.
