One Minute Walk to Gondola & Born Free Lift - Diamond Rated, Heart of Lionshead
Welcome to Lion Square Lodge 286!  This diamond rated residence (score of 96 out of 100) by the Vail Lodging Quality Assurance Program is in the center of all that Vail mountain has to offer and is one of the largest one bedroom/two full bath luxury homes in Vail that sleeps six.  A premier lodging destination in Vail, Lion Square Lodge has every creature comfort you will need to call Vail a home-away-from-home during your mountain vacation. 
Step out the door of this residence and in one minute you are at the base of the Eagle Bahn gondola, Born Free Express chairlift, ticket-office and ski-school. You're steps to everything in Vail Square: spas, shopping, ice skating, bike rentals, ski & snowboard shops, fine dining, casual restaurants, coffee & tea bistros, pubs, two grocery convenience markets, liquor stores, several in-town (free-fare) bus stops, and easy access to Vail's extensive trail system in the summer months.
Lion Square Lodge has a year-round heated outdoor pool, three outdoor hot tubs, sauna with changing room, on-site state-of-the-art fitness center, onsite concierge, bell station, two Charter Sports on-site ski/board shops for rentals and tune-ups, free slope-side ski/board valet service, on-site restaurant & bar, business center, and complementary in-building underground parking.
Elegantly appointed residence with the finest mountain chiqué décor to make you feel right at home. King Primary Suite with nightstand charging stations, queen Murphy bed, over-sized leather sofa/queen sleeper, love seat, chair and ottoman, stainless appliances, top-of-the-line cherry cabinetry, doors and millwork, large built-in desk with Wi-Fi and CAT 6 Ethernet to stay securely connected to the office, family & friends, granite counter-tops & back-splashes throughout, and tile with mosaic inserts in the entry, kitchen, and baths. The entry has a built-in cherry bench, a custom coat rack with 21 reclaimed 1800's railroad spike hooks, and a cast-iron elk hook named Hank to air-out all your gear.
Fully equipped chef's kitchen with cookbooks, cookware, crockpot, Presto multi-cooker, Kuerig and Cuisinart drip coffee makers, Cuisinart 4-slot toaster, microwave, blender, cooking utensils, dishwasher, and refrigerator with ice maker and filtered water...and even muffin tins and a Bundt pan if you feel so inclined to make breakfast pastries! The balcony also has a built-in natural gas grill for you to use in preparing that perfect barbecue.
The dining area has a large wood and slate table with comfortable seating for six.
Each bed has luxurious cotton linens with down comforters, extra pillows, and blankets to suit your needs. We also provide you with terrycloth robes for your trips to the pool, hot tubs, or sauna.
Baths have eco-friendly Soapbox shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap, and lotions. Each time a Soapbox product is purchased, Soapbox donates a bar of soap to someone in need. Each Soapbox product has a unique Hope Code. This code can be entered to find out the specific project our purchase benefited around the world.
Technology: 50in 4K Smart TV in the living room with complementary HD satellite and Netflix streaming, 40in 4K Smart TV in the primary suite, and a Bose Sound Dock Series III with Bluetooth and Apple Lightning connections. We also include complementary Wi-Fi and CAT 6 Ethernet to stay connected to the office, family, and friends during your visit.
Card games, dice, and board games are provided for family fun.
You will love the panoramic mountain views of Vail's ski slopes and the majestic Gore Creek through the south-facing condo windows, and from the balcony with a gas grill, a table and seating for four.
Thanks for visiting. We look forward to hosting you soon!

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Sharon & Rick

I was born and raised in a suburb of Charlotte, NC (Huntersville) and was living in Wilmington, NC when I was invited to a girls weekend get-away to Vail in 1993.  I met my (now) husband Rick in the Red Lion the first day of that trip (blissful ever since!).  Rick was living in Wisconsin at the time, so we dated long-distance for a year and a half.  The following year he proposed to me at the top of the Mountain Top Express lift (4) overlooking Sun Up Bowl, China Bowl, and what is now Blue Sky Basin with a  photographer in-tow.  I said "yes!" and moved to the Midwest to start our new life together (I'm still not certain that leaving a coastal community for the Midwest was the best idea :-).  After raising our three kids in suburban Minneapolis, in 2017 we traded our snow blower for the sun and sand dunes of Hilton Head Island, SC...you know the old saying..."you can take a girl out of the South but you can't take the South out of the girl y'all!"  :-).  We love the beach but get our "snow fix" in Vail as often as we can.  Needless to say, Vail is truly a magical place for us.  Our family (which now includes grandkids) continues to enjoy Vail often in all seasons. 
Owning a place in Vail was a dream of ours since the day we met. Now that we have a place to call our own, we are happy to share our Vail home with you to make your own memories.
Thank you for choosing to stay with us. We hope that you enjoy our place as much as we do, and we welcome you back on your next visit to the Vail Valley.

Why they chose this property
Lion Square Lodge is so close to all that Vail has to offer.  The ski-in/ski-out convenience and Lionshead Village Square steps from the door make this the perfect place to be, winter or summer.  Lion Square Lodge has so many amenities which makes staying here incredibly easy and convenient.  Unlike several ski-in/ski-out places, Lion Square Lodge North Residences are very quiet during the evenings which makes it the perfect place for families and couples looking for a romantic get-away.
