We had a lovely time in Denise home! We’ve been to vail 3 times and this by far was our favorite accommodation. It was close to the shuttle and easy to get into town. The home had everything we needed for our stay. Would highly recommend anyone to stay!

Thank you for your thoughtful words. It was a pleasure hosting your family, and I’m delighted the townhome was such a wonderful part of your Vail stay. You are always welcome back.
We had a wonderful stay at the property. It was perfect for our family and incredibly easy to get everywhere we needed to be. Less than 5 minutes to the base of the mountain and a couple grocery stores. The property was very clean and the layout is great. It feels very bright and open. The gas stove in the kitchen made cooking easy, and the bathrooms and bedrooms were clean and comfortable. The bunk bed was 2 full size beds and could fit adults easily. The owner was very responsive and helpful with everything we needed. Would highly recommend staying here!

I’m happy to hear that you loved the townhome and found it convenient, clean and bright! Hopefully your travels will bring you back to Vail - we'd be happy to welcome you again.
This was a great townhome and we were very happy with our stay. It’s beautifully finished with minimalist décor and provides a welcome and inviting space. It’s a 5 minute walk to the Vail shuttle bus stop, which we used for skiing at Lionshead one day and dinner in Vail Village another night. The kitchen had just the right amount of cooking tools and serve and drink wares, and the coffee bar was a special touch…much appreciated! The bed was extremely comfortable, and we loved that there were two pillow options so we could choose to our liking. There were plenty of blanket options as well – plus a fan, luggage rack and a mirror with dressing space. The home was clean and everything was as described, and communication with the owners was easy. We loved our stay! Wi-Fi worked great too. We will be back!

Thank you for your review. We're happy you had a wonderful experience and hope you can come back soon.
This place is fantastic! Denise is the best host. She is responsive and reaches out on her own. Great location and easy access to shuttle services and bike/walking paths. The amenities are endless. It has everything you can think of. Soooo comfortable and plenty of fans for the warmer days. Kitchen is well stocked and was easy to prepare meals in. Plenty of towels and paper goods. WiFi was great as we worked a day without delays. We will definitely return! Thank you for sharing your place!
