Wonderful Condo & Location!!
A wonderful experience! The unit is so welcoming, spacious and well equipped with everything we needed, and more! We had our 2 children with us and they loved sleeping on the Murphy bed! The location is great in that it’s a short walk to the gondola, the village, and everything closeby. Little general market is right nearby too! Skis were safely & easily stored right at base for us, ready every day! The unit also has a beautiful view of the slopes - we enjoyed sitting on the patio and taking in a sunny day and view. Beds were very comfortable too. Highly recommend!!! We will be back!

Excellent property
We really enjoyed staying at the property. This is one of the largest one bedroom condos I have stayed in at any ski resort. The living area is huge and comfortably fits the Murphy bed as well as the sofa bed. Location is fantastic in Lionshead with ski valet at the base of the run. Additional benefit of the condo is that is in the North building, which has underground parking, so you don't have to clear the snow off your car when it is time to go home. Rick is extremely attentive and is in constant contact as you approach your stay and during your time in the condo.

About the host

Hosted by Sharon & Rick

Host profile image
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.
