The location is excellent. The property is right in the middle of the Lionshead village. Literally few minutes walk to the gondolla and chair lift.
Be aware. This property is rented via VRBO, so the studio is not part of the Lifthouse lodge operations. Meaning, you get no housekeeping for the week, no fresh towels, you have to take out your trash, etc. plus you pay more than the initial rate per night. There is cleaning fee, extra person fee, some other fee, taxes, etc. So, the rate per night comes to be a lot more than advertised.
The main problem was the lack of hot water in the shower in the evening. The water temperature was only lukewarm. Imagine showering in cold water after a day on the slopes! We communicated with the host. He responded promptly and was getting in touch with the lodge management. Supposedly they turned the temperature up…. But nothing changed! Still no hot water in the evening, probably they only have one old water heater that is just not enough to supply all the rooms.
Otherwise, great stay. Love Vail. Good location
