Winterhaus is a four bedroom, three bath modern home owned by award winning action sports journalist and photographer, Tom Winter. (feel free to google his name + the word "ski") The home is located at 4094 Lupine Drive in East Vail.
YOU WILL NOT ENCOUNTER BEDSPREADS OR "GRANNY QUILTS" IN THIS HOME! You can be assured our cleaning crew washes each duvet cover after every guest departure. (Bed spreads are a known carrier of germs and should be avoided for "public" use). If you prefer modern, clean accommodation, we invite you to stay at Winterhaus.
The interior of the home has been updated with wood floors, modern furniture and new beds. All beds have comforters with heated mattress pads and high quality bedding. Nestled on 1/2 acre of wooded land in East Vail, this home is unlike most in the Vail Valley. Modern and hip, decorated "Dwell style" with original artwork, adjacent to Gore Creek, and a 45 second walk to the free Vail Village shuttle. (vehicles not necessary to stay here).
The home is an easy walk to the local market/liquor store and to Vail's high mountain trailheads for hiking or biking. Winterhaus is located in a peaceful and desirable upscale neighborhood on Lupine drive. (no condos/townhouses on Lupine)
