We purchased our private penthouse condominium in the Lionshead section of Vail, Colorado after going there to ski for years. We love the place and think you will really enjoy it as well.
Our condo is approximately 1800 square feet, with 3 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, a fully-equipped kitchen, including a Mixmaster, other cooking and barbecue utensils spacious great room and 800 feet of balcony. It is located at Vail Spa which is about a 4-5 minute walk to the Lionshead Gondola. It is located across from the Vail Marriott/Hythe Resort and the Ritz Carlton. The local bus stops right accross the street at the Hythe.
The living room has a flat screen TV with Alexa and surround sound. Each bedroom has a flat screen TV . A Trane central A/C unit was installed in 2013. We added a nice barbeque on the deck, and there is a great gas fireplace and fire pit on deck.
The master bedroom has a private bath and king size bed. One guest room has a queen size bed. The full bathroom for that room is next door in the hallway. The third bedroom has a bunk bed (queen size on bottom and twin on top) with a private bath. Every room opens onto a balcony. Since it is the penthouse, with only one other apartment on the floor, it has a very private feel.
The kitchen is fully stocked for Cooking including a Mixmaster.
The Vail Spa condo is a great facility.and in 2016 had a $10 Million renovation. The staff is very helpful and there is daily housekeeping. There are two pools and two hot tubs (one set indoor and one outdoor). They have a decent workout room, with a treadmill and some weight training equipment and a sauna. The men's and ladies locker rooms are stocked with towels. For a perfect day, work out in the fitness room, relax in the indoor and outdoor pools and Jacuzzis, steam rooms and sauna, have the hotel staff arrange a relaxing massage in one of the massage rooms, then warm yourself around the outdoor fire pit while sipping a complimentary cup of coffee, tea, cider or hot cocoa next to the cozy lobby fireplace. For even more pampering, we recommend the Marriott/Hythe or Ritz Carlton across the street. They each have ski rentals and the Marriott has a dining room open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and a great lobby bar for after ski drinks and late night meals or snacks.
Other Vail Spa amenities include: complimentary wireless Internet throughout the building; guest computers with printer and Internet access in the lobby; complimentary on-site covered parking; daily shuttle trips to the grocery store; and secure ski storage. The front desk staff is available 24 hours a day and full concierge service is available.

Thanks for your kind review. We always try to accommodate our guests. This ski season was challenging with the limited snow. We are glad you made the most of it and hope you will return when conditions are better in the future.
This home was great. Barry is very responsive & gave us perfect recommendations on where to eat/what to see. We appreciate how clean the home was & the views that came with it. Next time I plan on a Vail vacation, Barry will be my first call.

We loved this property and the owners were wonderful. It was very cozy, great location and lots of charm. We skied Vail and Beaver Creek, enjoyed a nightly hot tub and relaxed by the fire place. We highly recommend this property.

Thanks Michael. Always glad to get good feedback. After you left I arrived and looking forward to some nice snow.
It was everything we expected- Roomy, well kept, walking distance to slopes and every clean. Smores on the outside fire were the best. I would recommend this to a family that needs three bedrooms and 3 baths

Thanks Brian for your kind review. Glad you used the fire pit. Hope you can come back next year. Sincerely Barry.
This was an amazing VRBO just a short walk away from the Lionshead Gondola and town square. It had 3 well appointed bedrooms, an incredibly comfortable living room, and great appliances in the bathroom and kitchen. It was incredibly spacious for our 5 guests, even without having the patios / balconies that had a few feet of snow on them (all the better for skiing!). We made frequent use of all the building amenities, in particular the pool / hot tub and the hot chocolate in the lobby, as well as in convenient on-site parking and a communal ski locker. Plus, the owner is incredibly conscientious, kind and responsive. You can’t go wrong with this one, even at Vail prices.
Everything was really easy. The check-in was great the apartment is exceptional. Very clean, and cozy. You can tell all the hard work the owner puts in it. The kitchen has everything you need and more!
The host was very kind, super attentive and professional. The amenities are a 10! The staff were great. First time at Vail Spa. Hopefully not the last! We had a great time! Thanks!!

Thanks for the thorough review. We want our guests to have a first class experience. It’s always nice to hear nice staff reviews and ease of check in. My wife bakes often so the kitchen has lots of “stuff”. Hope to have you back. Barry
Clean and beautiful! This amazing condo exceeded our expectations!! Fully stocked and plenty of room for everyone to play cards/games, watch movies or just relax after a perfect day on the slopes!
Just a short walk (or FREE shuttle ride) to the lifts/Gondola at LionsHead or on to Vail Village - super easy! Owner offered many tips and recommendations that were PRICELESS! Highly recommend this property and would definitely stay here again! Thanks Barry!!

Teresa. Thanks for the kind review. I am so happy you enjoyed some of the suggestions I made. Off line let me know your favorites. My wife and I get to enjoy the condo next week. Hope you come back soon. Barry.
The penthouse condo was spacious and clean. Easy walk to Eagle Bahn gondola and ski school for the wife and 4 year old. Two hot tubs and pools which were frequently utilized by our older kids. City bus stop is right outside the door. No car needed. Condo had nice extras such as paper towels, laundry soap, well stocked pantry (popcorn, spices, etc.). Plenty of coffee. Take one/leave one liquor cabinet. Very comfortable beds. The owner has had the property for many years and clearly cares about the property. He was incredibly easy to work with and helpful. The entire experience definitely surpassed our expectations

Thanks so much for the detailed review. Glad you enjoyed your stay and hope that you return soon. We arrive end of January and look forward to a great vail experience. Barry.
This was the best condo in which we haver stayed in Vail over the past 25 years. It is better than the photos. There is a beautiful great room with a fireplace with windows that look out to the mountains. There are several balconies. The stone and wood floors are so pretty. The decor is perfect with lots of special artwork that add to the mountain home feeling. The bedrooms are good sizes with windows that look out to the slopes. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking/eating in, although we ate a some amazing restaurants this year.
Bus stop to Vail village is right outside the door. Quick walk to the chairlifts. Also, free ski storage at Charter Sports right across from the Arabelle on the way to chairlift.. Indoor pool and hot tub were great for when it was snowing. Outdoor pool and hot tub were great too. Overall, this is a cozy convenient place to stay in Lionshead Vail.

Thanks so much for the detailed review. I think you hit on many of the reasons why my wife and I purchased our condo about 20 years ago. I hope you will come back next year. Barry and judi.
This is the largest penthouse unit in this condo and very conveniently located but not in a congested area; bus stop is right across the street for access to vail. Walk to lionshead central if you want. VERY well equipped unit with all the accoutrements of home including loaded pantry, coffee makers, utensils, glasses,dishes, etc.
Every room has large window viewing the mountain.
Enormous deck with BBQ and fire pit (which we didnt use), full facilities including 2 hot tubs, 2 pools (in and out), gym, spa, etc. The audio visual system is wired through the entire unit and is top of the line (you can stay home and enjoy it but that would be a waste).Bedding, pillows, towels, bathrooms, robes, etc. very comfortable. Blackout shades if you want to sleep in (again a waste). If you have kids they will fight for the bunk bed room (even my 30 somethings did).

Thanks for the kind review. So glad the trip went well. We love our views and sound system. Glad you were able to get the music to play in each of the rooms. It takes some getting used to system. Hope to have you back. Barry
From the moment we arrived at our condo in Vail/Lionshead, we knew we were in for an exceptional stay. The location itself is unbeatable - nestled right at the base of Vail Mountain with the gondola just steps away.
The views from our balcony/top of the building were awesome; we awoke each morning to the sight of snow-capped peaks and the vibrant buzz of the village below.
The condo was immaculate and exuded mountain elegance. The attention to detail was evident, from the high-end finishes in the kitchen and bathrooms to the cozy fireplace that became the centerpiece of our evening relaxation. The bedrooms were spacious and inviting, with sumptuous bedding that ensured a restful night's sleep after a day of mountain adventures.
What made our stay particularly memorable was the array of amenities the building offered. The spa with a steam room, sauna, heated outdoor pool and hot tub were a sanctuary of warmth amidst the cool alpine air, and the provided plush robes made our dips even more luxurious. The fitness center was well-equipped, and the on-site spa services were greatly appreciated.
The staff at the condo was remarkable, offering warm hospitality and ensuring all of our needs were met every day when we walked through the lobby. The convenience of the covered parking and the ability to drop our skis at Charter Sports near the base of the mountain added to the seamless experience of our stay.
Great place that will not disappoint!

Wow. What a thorough and accurate review. Thanks so much. The only thing missing was to make it clear that you are not a relative, best friend or employee! I know you are not but while we receive excellent reviews yours stands out. You made me smile this morning as I read your review. Your writing style is perfection. Hope you come back.
