Location: Fallridge, Vail Golf Course, Vail, Northwest, Colorado, USA (Vail Golf Course-2 Min. from Vail Village) View Map
Accommodations: Condominium, 2 Bedrooms + Other (See Description), 2 Baths (Sleeps 4-6)
Our unit is a large (1190 sq. ft.), sunny, quiet (mountain-side), two bedroom, two-bath condo with a wood burning fireplace in the living room, and a northwest facing balcony. We are conveniently located in the Fallridge at Vail condominium complex, 1.2 miles from Golden Peak, 1.8 miles from the center of Vail Village, and only steps away from the Vail Golf Club, Nordic Center, and free Town of Vail bus. The building complex has underground heated parking, elevators, an indoor hot tub, sauna, and coin operated laundry facilities in the hall. The outdoor pool is open in the summer months. Because we consider this our mountain home, it is strictly non-smoking and pets are not allowed.
Our living room is very comfortable with a sofa-sleeper, chair and ottoman, and two recliners positioned in front of the 32” HDTV and Blu-ray Disc player. There is also a daybed/trundle bed in the living room area. The dining room table easily accommodates 6 people. The master bedroom has a king sized bed, TV, and VHS player. The second bedroom has two queen sized beds and a TV. All of the mattresses are very comfortable with brand new, quality linens ensuring all a good night’s sleep. The bath and spa towels are also new and quite luxurious.
We have a large balcony with a gas BBQ grill, a table with four chairs, and two lounge chairs. This is a great place to relax in the warm sun after a day of skiing or golf. In winter, when the trees are bare, you can glimpse Vail’s black diamond run, International.
Vail, in the winter, is known for its world class skiing, legendary back bowls, and proximity to Beaver Creek with its famous Birds of Prey downhill course. Vail’s Nordic Center has 17 km of groomed ski tracks and 10 km of separate snowshoe trails.
Vail summers, however, are equally spectacular. The Vail Golf Course is recognized by Golf Digest as a ‘top 100 resort course.’ There are numerous hiking and biking trails, and the white water rafting is not to be missed. The Betty Ford Alpine Garden is the world’s highest botanical garden displaying the most beautiful and unique high elevation plants. September and early October is the best kept secret: the weather is warm, the skies are sunny, the valley is quiet (except for the weekends), and most of the restaurants offer a 50% discount on their dinners. Weekends provide fun-filled activities such as Oktoberfest and the annual rubber duckie race down Gore Creek.
Regardless of when you choose to visit you will have a magnificent and memorable time in the Vail Valley. We would be pleased if you chose our mountain retreat for your vacation.

Map & Owner's Profile
Fallridge 2 Bed/2 Bath - Gold Rated Condo & Great Location
Year Purchased: 2000
Why the Owner Chose Fallridge
When our oldest son was in 8th grade we moved to Vail where he attended school and trained with Ski Club Vail. I skied every day and when I rode the chair lifts I would ask my fellow passengers, “what is your favorite ski area?” One man responded, “I have skied them all and keep coming back to the Big Daddy-Vail!” We agree! We had rented at Fallridge in Vail for many years and when we made the decision to purchase property we began looking around the Vail Valley: East Vail and as well as across I-70 to the north. We came back to Fallridge and purchased a unit there because we liked the location and the amenities. The rooms in so many of the other condos we looked at were small and dark. We feel that we have the best of both worlds: a serene, peaceful setting and quick, easy access to Vail Village and the mountain.
The Unique Benefits at this Condominium
We love the views and the balcony that our unit offers. The underground heated parking is essential in winter and the sauna and hot tub are just down the hall. There is an on-site property manager who lives in the building as well. We can drive to Vail Village in 2-3 minutes or take the free Town of Vail Bus. The bus stop is located only steps away and is a convenient way to get to Golden Peak, Vail Village, or Lionshead. When we ski we put on our ski attire in the condo, walk to the bus stop, and take the bus to Golden Peak early in the morning so that we are on the mountain by 9:00 a.m. The chalet at Golden Peak is beautiful and rental lockers are available if needed. You can then access Vail mountain from Chair 6 or take Chair 12 to the Vista Bahn which then takes you to mid-Vail. The Children’s Center is also conveniently located at Golden Peak and this is where the USSA races are held for skiing and snowboarding.
Owner's Map of Fallridge
We live in Minnesota and enjoy the many lakes and outdoor activities, and although we have many ski areas near us they lack the vertical that the mountains provide. My husband and I began skiing as adults and after taking my first lesson at Buck Hill we traveled to Vail, CO. We have both logged in many miles over the years and agree with a friend of ours who said, “skiing is the most fun you can have with your clothes on!” I am also a certified ski instructor and teach at a women’s traveling ski school in MN. I love it when women become passionate about the sport and then choose a ski vacation in the mountains for themselves and/or families. We have two sons who grew up ski racing and raced for their college teams. Our oldest son coaches for a USSA team in Boulder, CO.
