About this property

Designer Vail Chalet · Sleeps 12 · Hot Tub & Views

Live large in a designer mountain home at the base of Vail Mountain. A light-filled, designer-finished chalet with 25-foot windows framing meadow-and-mountain views, guests keep telling us the place is even bigger and more beautiful in person than in the photos. Four bedrooms, sleeps 12, two living areas, a game space, and a fully stocked gourmet kitchen, designed for multiple families, room for all! Soak in the hot tub on the meadow at sunset and catch shooting stars after a day on the mountain.

Guests who've stayed in Vail's best keep telling us the same thing — "we've stayed in many places, including the Ritz-Carlton residences, and this chalet is by far the best of them all."

My recent stay at the Blivas home near the Cascade lift was beyond great. As a busy tax CPA, I don’t get many ski trips in and am always hopeful that my rental accommodation will work out without any glitches and this was the best situation ever. The home was warm and spacious, with a killer pasture and mountain view. The place was nicely appointed, great for entertaining and comfortable as could be. It was a toss up as to the best night of the trip : a snowcat ride to Beano Cabin for a 5-course dinner or a group Mexican food cooking fest at Casa de Blivas. Oh yeah, strolling down the heated driveway for a short walk to Cascade chair lift made for a perfect trip.

Just an amazing stay!

Our visit was outstanding. The communication was great and the arrival process and checkout were super easy. The location is fantastic, a short walk from a lift or drive to the main gondola area. The house itself was superb. Can't say enough about it really. The view, the setting, everything! This is the best place hands down - look no further.

We were blown away by this home! The views were amazing, the home fully equipped and we easily accommodated 5 adults and 5 children. The massive field behind the house was almost as much fun as being on the slopes as the kids could sled, have snowball fights, etc! We would definitely stay here again!!

Fantastic Vail Experience!!

The Chateau is uniquely situated in Cascade Village with beautiful views of the Valley from the living room and hot tub. I had a group of friends in for Super Bowl weekend - the fantastic curved screen TV and comfortable living room worked great for the game. The renovated lounge and restaurant at hotel Talisa was perfect for Apres - followed by time in the hot tub to relax after skiing. Great trip - Great house - Great Lounge at Talisa!

Wonderful location and beautiful home

We had a great time at Larry's house. The bedrooms were all very generous in size , were decorated beautifully and had very comfortable beds. The home is about a .5 mile drive to the the Cascade lift which is very easy to access and has a public parking lot ($25/day) about 200 yards from the Cascade chair lift. Larry was very easy to work with and was responsive to any questions that I had. I would definitely stay here again

Best Chalet in Vail

What a wonderful house! We visited with my husband, parents, and niece and nephew. Everyone had a room and a bathroom. Bedrooms are comfortable, cozy, with great decor complete with at-home amenities. Bathrooms are beautiful with high end finishes. Kitchen is complete with everything you need to make a variety of dishes during your stay. Grocery store is a 5 minute drive away. The view is just spectacular and the location hard to beat - walk to bus transit and chair lift close by. Thank you so much Larry! We will be coming back!

Wonderful home for family ski trip to Vail

My kids, kids in law, and grandkids stayed in this home and we had a wonderful stay for a week in winter after Christmas. The listing accurately depicted the home and the owner was very prompt and helpful. The 12 of us (7 adults and 5 children) were very comfortable. The kitchen was outfitted with everything we needed as we ate most meals at the home since we had small children. The home is very comfortable and well furnished. As advertised the Cascade lift is only an 8-10 min walk and the free Vail bus service located there as well. The location is great for experienced skiers renting at Ventures sports located in the Grand Hyatt. It is a little hike if you own your own skis/board and carry them down and up each day, as we were unable to use the valet for our own equipment since we were not guests at the hotel. (On one occasion an overly aggressive employee told us that were were not even supposed to rent since we were not staying at the hotel.) I would highly recommend this home for winter get a ways.

Great place to stay!

We looked at many properties in Vail, but we kept coming back to this property. I contacted the owner and after talking to him, I realized this was definitely the place we wanted to stay. We were in Vail for my son's wedding, and this property had everything we needed. Plenty of bedrooms, and bathrooms! We used all four bedrooms , and never felt like we were crowded for space. The view was great from almost every room in the house. Everything in the house worked, and there was even a pack and play for our granddaughter. The proximity of the house to everything was good. Grocery store 10 minutes one way, and Vail Village 5 minutes the other. Reserving the property went smoothly, and about ten days before, we received the checkin instructions and also a list of things to do in Vail. Communication was never an issue with the owners before and during our stay. Overall, we were very pleased with this rental. The only negative about our stay was that when we were leaving, we wished we could have stayed a few more days to just relax at the house after all the wedding festivities! Would stay here again.

Great house but outdoor area needs improvement

This was a great house with great communication with property manager and owner. They went out of their way to make sure we had a good stay and had everything we needed. The inside of the house is well laid out. The downstairs area with three bedrooms is great for families with children. One of the features we particularly liked were the operable skylights. However, there are a couple of things that I wished I knew before booking. First, the description on VRBO says the house has A/C but it does not. I understand most mountain homes do not have A/C...however, we specifically picked this house bc it said AC on the description and were disappointed it did not. Also, the outdoor area could use some work. There was a metal table and chairs with no cushions to sit upstairs. Downstairs had limited seating that was dirty and had debris and pool chemicals piled up. We were looking forward to sitting outside to enjoy the Colorado weather and it just wasn’t conducive to doing it. I don’t think it would take much to make the outside area great! If the air conditioning description is removed from VRBO and the outside was to be improved it would definitely get 5 stars.

Great house and Great Location for Skiers

This house was great over Xmas break for our family of 9, although easily fits 12. It had everything we needed in the kitchen and bathrooms. Beautiful home in Cascade village with an amazing view of the mountains. Although it was high season, we did not feel it at all since we skied out of the cascade chair lift at the Grand Hyatt which is totally private and only used by hotel guests and nearby neighbors. The Grand Hyatt is a 6-7 minute walk down hill (up hill at the end of the day). We rented our equipment at the Grand Hyatt Venture Sports (the staff new Larry and were very nice to all of us). Renting at Venture sports allowed us to ski in and out of the Grand Hyatt and use their ski valet! We changed into our ski boots at the Grand Hyatt, got our skis from the ski valet and at the end of the day, we left our boots and ski with the ski valet, and walked home in our snow boots. The Cascade lift should only be used by people who can ski, as it is fast and takes you to a part of the mountain where you have to ski to another lift in order to keep going up. There are no beginner bunny slopes. If you are a beginner and you plan on taking lessons, or have kids who have to go to ski school, you will have to either drive to Lionshead, take an Uber to Lionshead, Walk to Grand Hyatt and from there take the free shuttle to Lionshead, since the schools and instructors meet at Lionshead. We are all good skiers so for us Cascade Lift was amazing and not crowded. One guest had to take their kid to Lionshead everyday, which adds about 20-30mins to the morning routine. Our private instructor met us intermediate skiers at the Grand Hyatt Cascade Lift so this was perfect for us and recommended if you want an instructor and do not want to schlep to Lionshead in the morning. Truly a nice home in a great location. Would definitely rent again. Thank you Larry! PS Go Aztecs!
