Second stay for my husband and I, we stayed nearly two weeks! The property is in a great location, in Lionshead village, walking distance to Vail village, restaurants, hiking, and more! We enjoyed the pool and Jacuzzi, overlooking the beautiful on the Gore River. Condo was in great shape, perfect size for the two of us for an extended stay.
