About this property

STUNNING UBER-LUXURY! Chef-Kit, Cinema, Firepit, Hottub, Views, Village Parking!

Highcliffe is a totally unique, mountain-themed, custom log lodge experience, with outstanding comfort and spacious layout, convenient to the Village while affording exclusivity and privacy, and unmatched amenities. Clients regularly include intergenerational families and multi-families vacationers, and other discerning travelers seeking lodging that is a true destination in iteself while enjoying Vail.

Highcliffe Lodge has been profiled as a "masterpiece" in National design magazines and celebrates Colorado mountain lifestyle with a Yellowstone feel. Enjoy its private acre of land with amazing Gore Range and Vail Valley Views, stunning perennial gardens, handcrafted construction and magical decor. Highcliffe is located just a 5-minute drive (or free Vail bus ride) to the center of Vail Village where you will enjoy free VIP parking in Solaris parking garage.

Five bedrooms sleep up to 12 adults, 14 with children. Amenities include fantastic Digital Dolby ATMOS mine-shaft themed cinema, ping pong, foosball and billiards in the game room, steam shower, and hot tub for seven. Outdoor living spaces include balconies and decks with unobstructed views of nature and the Gore range, and a stunning private one acre yard with year round stone patio featuring whimsical moss rock gas fire pit, natural gas BBQ, and waterfall water feature. The land is stunning with perennial gardens, an aspen grove, ancient boulders, and magical masonry stone switchback path up Highcliffe Mountain leading to dramatic stone belvederes with increasingly magnificent views of the Vail Valley and Gore Range!

Highcliffe has the perfect layout for 1-3 families, featuring three large private bedrooms with king and queen beds, with either additional day beds or lofts with twin beds. Two additional bedrooms easily accommodate 5 additional children (up to 7 if children share double bunks). Even much smaller groups of guests, or simply couples, feel luxuriated and cozy despite available bedrooms due to Highcliffe's creative floor plan. Bathrooms are mountain themed with quality towels and Molton Brown of London toiletries. Bedrooms feature luxury mattresses and top quality professionally laundered and pressed bedding, 4K flat screen SONY TVs with Comcast/Xfinity premium TV service and internet streaming. Closets offer plenty of storage space. Bedrooms have large windows with magnificent open views, and are thematically furnished with Old Hickory furniture.

Location affords many outdoor activities nearby, including rafting and fishing on adjacent Gore Creek, and many nearby outstanding hiking trails. The property is close to the Vail Racquet Club with outdoor mountain view tennis courts, gym, and heated pool and hot tub.

For Winter guests we are partners with a family-owned premier ski equipment rental/retailer with a convenient facility in Vail Village located adjacent to Ski Lift Gondola One. Our partner will store your rented (or owned) ski equipment at their slope side facility for a reasonable fee!. Highcliffe also offers on-site ski boot and clothing warmers, and ski racks if you want to keep your equipment at the lodge.

Christmas and New Year Holiday guests will enjoy festive fresh wreaths on doors, stockings by all fireplaces and a fabulous decorated Christmas tree in the family room -- truly a special family and friends' Holiday Destination for cherished memories.

We also offer reduced monthly rates so please inquire.

Annual Ski Trip - 2024
Everything about our stay was absolutely incredible. The property is even more beautiful than the photos online appear, the location is outstanding (less than 5 minutes from the village), Adam is the best host I have ever booked with, and he even has a parking pass for a garage right in the middle of the village! Everything was pristine when we arrived and this was hands down the best trip we have done to date (8 years and counting). I could not recommend this property and Adam highly enough! Thank you for everything, Adam!

About the host

Hosted by Adam Bersin

Host profile image
Design and construction spanned 4 years. We fell in love with the fabulous private yet convenient location, stunning topography, ancient aspen groves and boulders, and immense Gore Range views. Guests cherish the fantastic luxury, location, and amenities, truly the perfect ambiance for enjoying family and friends. Highcliffe guests regularly comment they love to return to Highcliffe each night as their fantasy mountain home. Highcliffe has won numerous design awards, including Log Home Living and Log & Timber Home design magazines!

Highcliffe is also the real log home built in Vail in the past 30 years. We chose enormous fully-scribed Engleman spruce and lodgepole pine logs from Montana and Wyoming with fascinating character features including cat eyes, burls, and other amazing imperfections, creating a massive, rich feel. Stone used in patios, flooring and fireplaces was quarried in Colorado and New Mexico and includes moss rock and limestone. Ironwork was custom designed, and forged in Craig, Colorado by a master. The main furnishings were hand made in Buena Vista, CO and feature Ralph Lauren fabrics, buffalo hide, and various fine leathers and other furs. Navajo rugs throughout Highcliffe are authentic and feature traditional Navajo design motifs, including Yei, Two Grey Hills, Eye Dazzler, Germantown, and Teec Nos Pos. Tastefully incorporated taxidermy includes buck, moose, bobcat, raccoon and mallard, and antique design pieces are American Western, and European black forest. Highcliffe is iconic in its presence and ambiance, quality of finishes, attention to detail, and reputation, and we hope you will enjoy an amazing mountain adventure with us.

Why they chose this property

The beautiful acre of land was one of the last virgin parcels in Vail, and has outstanding views of the Gore Mountain Range and abuts the White Forest National Park to the rear. Most importantly, it sits on a charming residential street with Gore Creek a one-minute walk away, offering nearby white water rafting trips, fly fishing, and nature hiking trails. A fantastic waterfall hike begins only 500 feet away!

Attention was paid to incorporating indigenous stone and artwork to represent the Rocky Mountains and their splendor. We love the hustle and Internationality of Vail Village and its many outstanding restaurants and shops, great skiing, fairs and festivals. We sought a location offering easy and quick access to the Village, yet private and exclusive. It was important that the location allowed for our then-early teenage children to easily bike, walk or take the free bus to Vail Village.

What makes this property unique

Privacy, location, and a truly enchanting environment. Plenty of yard space featuring private nature paths and an antique wagon. Private mountain in the backyard, with trails and an observatory. Amazing views, and plenty of wildlife (eagles, hummingbirds, foxes, raccoons, marmots, and chipmunks). Plenty of decks and balconies to enjoy the fresh air and al fresco dining. A Mountain lodge in Vail, luxuriously decorated and appointed in Ritz Carlton, Bachelor Gulch style, with its own state-of-the-art private movie theater and mountain!
