Enjoying the holidays in Vail
VRBO Bear stayed here - 01/07/2010
I had the pleasure of staying in this Cascade Village home in Vail, Colorado over the Christmas 2009 holiday. The beautiful setting overlooking Gore Creek was the perfect winter wonderland.
The sprawling, three-level residence had every amenity possible. Upon entering the front hall, one is treated to an incredible mountain view out of the giant windows in the great room down below. On this entry level, there were two bedrooms with a full bath. The larger of the bedrooms had a desk with a computer to access the Internet. As I descended the steps into the living area, I was surrounded with views out of every window and a magnificent fireplace complemented by a large Christmas tree. I knew I had found the perfect place to celebrate the holiday with family and friends. The great room contained furnishings fit for a king. Every chair offered comfort and warmth with pillows and throws. The surround sound throughout this living area made us feel like we were at a concert as we listened to music or watched television.
The kitchen was unbelievably stocked with utensils and equipment to satisfy any great chef. It was truly something for the “Galloping Gourmet.” There was a comfortable corner table to sit and enjoy morning coffee while we took in the great views and enjoyed watching “the cooks” prepare breakfast. The dining room housed a grand square table that comfortably seats twelve. Alternatively, you can enjoy your meal outside on the deck which overlooks Gore Creek. The deck came with a heat lamp to ward of the chilly mountain air. The main level also had a bunk room behind the kitchen which comfortably slept three.
The next level down was a walkout basement with three additional bedrooms. The master bedroom is a residence all of its own. The furnishings were fantastic and warm - again fit for a king. All the linens throughout the home were top of the line with down pillows, comforters and mattresses. The master suite opened onto a large wrap around deck that housed a hot tub. There were extra large towels furnished for everyone who wants to enjoy the quiet of the mountains while enjoying some soaking time in the hot tub. The master bath had both a large shower and a jetted tub. His-and-her sinks kept us from getting in each other’s way. The oversized king bed was so comfortable and warm it was tough to get up in the mornings. The other two bedrooms were beautifully decorated and also furnished with only the best. All the linens were top of the line and the room was complimented with down accessories. Each of these large bedrooms has its own full bath. The large laundry room is on this floor, also. It was equipped with two dryers and a large washer and plenty of laundry baskets to hold all of the towels from the hot tub.
This home was very well equipped and situated in a perfect location surrounded by mountains. It was a fantastic residence that could easily make one want to hibernate here for the entire winter.

Why the Owner Chose Private Homes
The LOCATION IS GREAT! Close to everything but not crowed. Chair # 20 is like our own private chair lift we share with the hotel. Charter Sports and a ticket office at the base of the lift. Also, no lift lines!! Once you arrive, you don't even have to drive again until you're ready to leave. Our guests can come and go off the mountain with ease. The Vail Cascade Resort offers us the benefits of a resort but the privacy of staying in our home. The views are breathtaking of the mountains and especially being on the Gore Creek. We love being on the creek, the sights and sounds are fantastic. We are the only home in our area that is available for rent on the Gore Creek next to Chair # 20 lift. This is beautiful neighborhood of multi-million dollar homes. The saying is so true, came to ski - stayed for the summers.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Aria Spa & Fitness Club membership, tennis courts, basketball court, racket ball courts, outdoor pool, jacuzzi, many discounts including Spa visits, Atwater Restaurant in Hotel etc.
Backyard playground on the creek with log lawn furniture, large swing, picnic table and bocce and horseshoe games for the kids and adults too.
There is no I-70 traffic noise, just the sounds from the creek.
Great location for families and only 5 minutes to activities and free hotel shuttles that run from 7 am to midnight to other villages.
Donavan Park, on the creek, is a great place to have event parties, just a short walk from the house, less than 1/2 mile away, just west of our house Weddings, Birthdays, Family Reunions, our house is the perfect place to stay for ultimate location, ultimate comfort and memories that will last a lifetime.

You can rent all your ski equipment rentals, also Valet your skis FREE etc. Ski to our street, Westhaven Circle and 5 minute walk back to the house, with NO HILLS to climb! Aira Spa & Fitness Club is included with this rental house. The Resort and Spa are just 5 minute walk from the house. Discounts on Spa visits and Atwater Restaurant are included. It is so easy for our guests to come and go from the house to Chair # 20 or skiing down to the house, spa, shopping etc without someone having to be there to let them in. We have easy access without using house keys. We love spending our time between Florida and Colorado, living on the Gore Creek, just steps to Chair #20 lift, is the best of both Winter/Summer and Fall.

Awesome home for extended family holiday

Review Submitted: 02/04/12
We travelled with our three generation family of 12 to this most wonderful home, located within an easy few minutes walk to/from the lift 20. As we had hired our ski gear from the Cascade resort, complimentry ski concerge meant at the end of the day a few steps to exchange skis and boots for walking shoes. The home is truly lovely and with all the amenities you will need. 5 bedrooms PLUS a bunk room and a seperate lounge means there is room to spread out and relax. TVs everywhere ... really handy when not everyone is absorbed in the playoff week end. The kitchen is what dreams are made off. The owner is obviously in love with cooking, and every conceivable appliance has been provided, to say nothing of the drawers and shelves filled with spices, sauces and other condiments that only passion could provide. Forget the hotels or co-operative run homes that provide the same booring minimalistic inventory of 6 knives, 6 forks and 6 plates. These cupboards are just overflowing. Real wine glasses. And this flows throughout the home. From the throw rugs to snuggle on the lounge, toboggans in the garage, baby cots and fold aways to the basketball court down by the creek (the lure to return in summer .. a little fishing perhaps). I could fill these pages and list all the features detailed elsewhere by others, but the overiding sense is that this is a home filled with the warmth of family love that you are priviledged share for an all but too brief a time.

Our family of 9 adults and 6 small children spent our Christmas holiday at this luxury home. We cannot say enough about our time there. The owner had the house all decorated inside and out with beautiful trimmings and a gorgeous tree. The view was absolutely fabulous especially because of all the huge windows. The home sits above Gore Creek which looks more like a river. The sound is intoxicating and it was my favorite part. The master bedroom directly faces it. That bedroom is such a wonderful getaway with beautiful furniture and the most comfortable bed. Outside is the hot tub which was so fun to use especially with the creek in sight. The kitchen was a cook's dream teaming with an abundance of utensils and filled with any kind of spices you could want. It was a lot of fun cooking there. We employed a cook for daily dinners which turned out to be a great idea so everyone could be free from all that planning and shopping for 15 people. The owner was extremely helpful in providing any source of information we needed. She also provided a high chair and gates for the stairs since it is a 3 level home. Those were wonderful lifesavers for our young grandchildren. I cannot say enough about the landlord. She was always available and went overboard to make sure we had the best time in their home. The location of this gorgeous home made it so perfect for us. We did not need to rent a car since it was close to a ski lift and we could also walk to the nearby hotel to pick up a shuttle to go into Vail where there was so much fun activity - stores, coffee shops, ski lifts all decorated for the holidays. Grocery shopping was so easy also since we called a local van who assisted us in loading and unloading our groceries. All the bedrooms were perfect being very private and spacious. The laundry room had two washers and a dryer conveniently located on the bottom level. I was shocked and thrilled to see a wonderful piano in the foyer. That was great fun for playing Christmas carols. Across the street was a large hill for the kids to use the sleds which the owner provided in their garage. We love to talk about our 2010 Vail Christmas vacation and we cannot say enough about this fabulous home and owners who took such an interest in making our time there so memorable. I would love to return in the summer and see how differently everything would look then especially the always visible Gore Creek. it is just beautiful.

Amazing Property on Gore Creek

Just got back from spending five days at this beautiful property. Located directly on Gore Creek, the first thing you notice upon arriving is the wonderful sound of the river flowing outside. Sitting outside on the top deck, drinking a glass of wine and watching the fly fisherman was so relaxing. The house itself was beautiful and easily accomodated three families. There is one room that we dubbed "the playroom" that the kids enjoyed spending time with Legos and watching movies. All three adult couples had their own master bedroom. The kitchen was very well stocked. I especially appreciated them stocking both cabernet and chardonnay wine glasses. Walking down the back stairs, you can sit along Gore Creek and try some fly fishing. We caught five trout directly behind the house, with the last one being a very nice rainbow trout at sunset on our last night. Full access to Cascade Resort gym and spa. Highly recommend this property. We will be back!

Just wanted to let you know what a wonderful week we had in Vail at your lovely home! Our extended family has rented a house for a week in July for the last 6 years, and everyone agreed that this year was our favorite. Your home had everything we were looking for (comfortable beds, lovely furnishings, well stocked kitchen, BBQ, deck/view of the river, just to name a few) and a number of added bonuses as well. Also, we were thrilled with the location and access to the Aria Spa and Club, the shuttle to Vail Village & Lion’s Head and the hotel pool. It was wonderful to have the comfort of a home and then the amenities of a top hotel/spa right in our backyard. Finally, thank you for being so easy to work with and responsive to emails both before and during our stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our week in your home and hope to be back in the future!

We had a wonderful time at your Vail property. Our son's wedding day in early July was perfect- sunny and upper 70's - wedding at nearby Donovan pavillion. We entertained many people for casual rehearsal dinner Friday and then brunch on Sunday. Your house is stocked beautifully and everything was in perfect condition. The kitchen is loaded with everything you could possibly need.Your house fit right in with our Italian theme (honeymoon destination) for dinner on Friday. Comfy beds - our four grandkids loved the bunk room and the "play room" next to it, right off the kitchen. They were close, but still away from the adults to have their own fun and noise! Very convenient for not seeing all the toys, etc. We (my husband and I) spent the majority of the time on the deck enjoying the creek and the beautiful Colorado summer weather. Your house is on one of the prime spots in Vail summer or winter!

I had the good fortune to spend an entire week at this showcase home. The pictures did not do it justice. We were 9 adults and 4 children and had it been our desire we would never have had to cross paths. The home's ample space and large common areas provided the perfect backdrop for our four family vacation. I could not help but send pictures to my Florida friends showcasing the view immediately out our back window of the snowcovered pines and pristine creek. Vail met our every expectation, as well, with over 40" of fresh snow and their infectiously pleasant staff were extraordinary. The home was a short daily walk to the Cascade Village ski lift and we were up and skiing in 10-15 minutes. The home was well equipped with housewares and the beds were phenominal! I can't say enough about how spoiled we were by the owner who offered us every possible courtesy. If you are planning on going to Vail - be sure and see if this home is available before you search any where else. It makes the trip!

We loved this house! It is a 5 min flat walk to the ski slope and we were able to avoid the long lines of the gondola. The house was very large and well maintained. The house has two family rooms so it is great for families. There are lots of amenities with too many tv’s to count. The owner was extremely helpful in answering all of my numerous questions and was very accommodating in meeting all of our needs. The description of the house is accurate and the house is gorgeous. I would highly recommend renting this house.

My group recently stayed at this Cascade Village vacation home for 1 week end of January to early February, and had a fantastic ski vacation!!! As it states in the listing, the house is loaded with amenities. A few of our favorites include a fully stocked open kitchen, hot tub overlooking the creek, mini-gym room, a deck with an outdoor heat lamp, remote controlled fireplaces and a recently added 2 person sauna. And when we had dinner, the dining room fit 12 people comfortably, which is a luxury that not many places have. The ski conditions at Vail are second to none. The Cascade lift is a 10 min walk, or you can take shuttles or drive to the other Vail bases. Everyone in our group of 12 would highly recommend this house and would stay again. The owner is a joy to deal with. Very responsive and detail oriented. Great job on a wonderful home!

We could not have chosen a more ideal house for our daughter’s Vail wedding. Our daughter selected the Donovan Pavilion (one of the favorite wedding sites in Vail) for her wedding and the Cascade Hotel as the hotel for the wedding party and guests. This awesome house is directly across Gore Creek from the Cascade Hotel and only a short walk to the Donovan Pavilion so its location was perfect for the wedding. It was able to accommodate five families in comfortable manner and at a cost that was more reasonable than renting five separate condos. It was also large enough and convenient enough to serve as “wedding central” for everyone attending the wedding. It was spacious, well decorated and equipped with everything we needed. The two car garage served as the staging area for all the wedding supplies and decorations. The large kitchen was always the scene of constant activity. We held a great bridesmaid luncheon at the house the day before the wedding that was just outstanding with everyone enjoying the view of Vail Valley from the deck. Everyone who came to the house was very impressed with it. Besides serving as “wedding central”, this house provided us with a “home” where our immediate families were able to live together for a week and have a great bonding experience. We had not seen some of our nieces and nephews in over 10 years. By being under one roof, we did not have any problem with communicating and arranging activities and meals and that we would have if we were in condos scattered all around Vail. Regardless of the wedding considerations, the location of the house was ideal for all the other activities Vail has to offer. The bike/walking path that runs from East Vail to West Vail runs right alongside Gore Creek. You could fish in the Gore Greek from the backyard which is designated as Gold Medallion trout fishing stream or you could take off hiking or biking up Vail mountain from the driveway. The Cascade Hotel let us use their sports club facilities and tennis courts so that was another plus. We also thought about what a great location this house would be for a family reunion during the ski season for many of the same reasons it provided such an ideal wedding house. In summary, we feel the amenities and location of this house was a key factor in contributing to the wonderful celebration of our daughter’s wedding and our family reunion!

My family of 9 adults and 3 children stayed at house last week. Everyone agreed that it was more than a "10" It was even more beautiful than we were prepared for. The setting was unique overlooking the Gore Creek and mountains. The kitchen had every imaginable appliance and gadget and fit for a chef. The fishing at Black Lake was wonderful. We came back with fish every morning. The house is large enough so that we did not feel crowded, plenty of room for privacy. The children used the pool across the creek at the hotel and we also had massages and facials at the spa. Some of us took bikes up on the gondola and biked down which was an unforgettable experience. The house was spotless. I would highly recommend this facility and hope to return next year.
