This house is in a great location - just a block or two from Vail Village, but in a neighborhood so it is quiet. It backs up to a pond with a beaver home, so we enjoyed watching the beaver swim around and collect branches, as well as a funny little fox who came and went frequently. The house is very comfortable and was perfect for our trip.

Wonderful New Years Stay

The property was as advertised. Very clean, close to the Village and Lifts. It was an easy walk to the heart of Vail, but nice to be a few blocks away on a quiet lovely street right near a beautiful stream. Highly recommend!

Memorable Trip

The house is amazing and Michelle was super helpful throughout our stay. The house is a pretty cool design and well equipped, we especially enjoyed the hot tub after a long day skiing. The house is well situated with an easy walk into vail village for dinner and a ~8 minute walk to the slopes. We will defiantly book this property again as it checks every box.

Wonderful House

This is my 2nd visit to this property and it doesn’t disappoint. Easy walk to Vail center and the gondola. The house is so comfortable and has everything you could possibly want in a vacation home. Love the wood burning fireplace. Michelle is quick to respond with any questions. Will definitely return.

Amazing Stay in Vail

We had a great stay in Vail. The house couldn't be better located. We enjoyed walking into town and to the gondola to ski each day. The house was well stocked with fire wood and has a beautiful fireplace, nice kitchen with good kitchen tools/pots/pans. The bedrooms/baths were nice and it is convenient that each King can be split into two twins. If you have younger kids, note there are some tight corners and the living room & den are combined and on the smaller side. The property manager Michelle was wonderful and very responsive.

Nice Place in Quiet, Convenient Location

This is a unique architectural property. The location is in between the two gondolas, so you can decide which way to go each day. An 8 minute walk either way, and a short walk to restaurants and amenities. Michelle was very responsive and made check in/check out easy. Recommend that you use one of the upstairs bedrooms as the master; they are a bit larger and have a more convenient bathroom set up.

We had a nice 5 days in Vail and this property was well-located and cozy. To be fair, it's a solid minimum 10-minute walk to Vail Gondola. Given that thjere is nowhere in the house to store your skiis and boots, and given the solid walk, I would suggest storing your skiis at one of the storage options near Vail Gondola. The house is comfortable and clean, but severely outdated and very tight on space. The rooms are very small and the common living room space is difficult to enjoy if you are more than 6 people. It is architectural interesting, but it clearly needs a facelift. The property manager was very communicative and responsive which is always a bonus and helpful.

Family Wedding Visit to Vail

The property was fabulous. It is unique and accommodating. The space worked very well for our 6 adults. The convenience to Vail Village was perfect. The only thing that took a little adjustment was the glass open plan bathroom with glass doors to the toilet/shower. Some guests would prefer a little more privacy for the toilet…. But overall the home was delightful

Perfection

We stayed here with my adult daughter and her family so 4 Adults and 2 children (4 and 11). First of all, the location is just about perfect, short walk to lifts and midvail stores and resteraunts. The interior really gives that cabin in the mountains feel with the large great room and massive fireplace. Beds are comfy (huge plus), every room is ensuite, kitchen is very well stocked including the two most important items, martini shaker and wine aerator. Managment was very communicative and helpful. Over all the perfect place for Christmas.

Great cabin, Close to everything!

Our family and friends really enjoyed this cabin for the week. The process was easy and the cabin was set up great for a wonderful week with our family. The fireplace was awesome and the hot tub was hot. Walking distance to Vail Village was key and the bus stopped about 5 mins away from the house. Highly recommended!
