Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 1993
I was born in France and moved to the States in 1985. I have lived in California and moved to Colorado in 1990. Proudly became by choice an American citizen in 2007! I love the mountain and skiing. I like to meet people from all around the planet and it seems that Vail is a great destination year round for it.I love to cook. I love contributing to people's happiness and joie de vivre and providing a wonderful place for your vacation, allows me to do that. I speak French, English and Spanish. I have been teaching skiing since 1996 and I am passionate about it as well as my yoga practice. To me, Health is Wealth; I have my massage therapy and yoga studio on site and love my work.
Why the Owner Chose Intermountain
I fell in love with the house because it is on the creek and surrounded by beautiful old trees.Our street dead ends so there is not a lot of traffic and if you want to be off the beaten path,then Intermountain is the place, yet is close to the stores and restaurants, parks and bike path. Vail is a worldwide vacation destination. I love cultural diversity here which attracts talents from all over the world in the musical, visual, culinary arts and of course winter sports. The bravo series is good food for the soul, as well as the dance festival, just to name a few. There is always something fun and interesting, going on....and the winters.............. the skiing is amazing. never bored!
The Unique Benefits of this Lock Off Apartment
If you are interested in staying healthy while away from home, we do offer private yoga lesson, meditation, massage therapy and organic prepared meals. It is really quiet and there are many places on the property for you to enjoy the sun, the trees, the soothing sound of the creek. You will sleep like a log! Hammocks await for you by the creek for a late afternoon nap! and enjoy the fire pit if you enjoy eating melting marshmallows It is private so you feel like it is home.
