Quiet East Vail Racquet Club Unit on Creek - Free Shuttle
- Minimum stay:N/A
- Internet:Yes
- Pets allowed:No
- Wheel chair accessible:No
We have enjoyed our clean, comfortable,cozy retreat and hope you will, too. It is a second floor unit with the bedroom facing Gore Creek and living room with a mountain view, facing the new park. It is 576 square feet with a king bed and half-bath in the master, and full bath in hall. There is a queen sofa sleeper with memory foam topper in the living room. Full kitchen with table and bar stools. Woodburning fireplace. There is a deck off the master and porch off the living room.
You will be in a lovely 300-unit complex remodeled in November 2004. The Racquet Club has a state-of-the-art fitness room with new Cybex machines, year-round 25 meter outdoor heated pool, aerobic, yoga and pilates classes (for a fee), and outdoor tennis. Massage and personal training are available. There is a $10 per person per day charge to use the facility, $5 for children. Bighorn Bistro, on the property is an excellent restaurant.
I like to keep staples, such as sugar, coffee, tea, hot chocolate and cooking oil on hand, as well as board games and a few DVDs. For shopping, there is a small but fully stocked grocery store nearby and large markets in Dillon and West Vail. Relax by the fire and access hi-speed internet.
East Vail is a quiet, heavily wooded, mostly residential area considered desirable if you like to be away from the hustle and bustle in Vail - yet convenient to world-class skiing. In the summer, there is plentiful hiking and biking, tennis drills and lessons, as well as many other activities. Bighorn Park is in walking distance.

This was our first time in Vail, we were unsure where to stay, but this property ended up being perfect. The condo was as described and very clean and comfortable. The king bed was a dream to sleep in. The location was great, the bus stop is close and the we never waited very long for a bus, either way. We enjoyed the Racquet Club's hot tub and new restaurant - Blu's. We would stay here again and would recommend it to friends.Recommended for: Romantic getaway.
Owner response: Thank you and glad your stay was great. I also love how convenient the bus is and how nice it is to stay in a quieter area. Blu's is a wonderful addition--looking forward to BBQ chicken pizza again! Thanks Janet.

My wife and I really enjoyed staying at the EVRC for the 3 nights we were in the area. The property was as advertised and suited our needs well. We loved having the fireplace for our use. The property owner was extremely informative and easy to work with. We enjoyed the spring skiiing at Vail. For dinner one night we tried out the Alpine Tavern located on the EVRC property and we were both treated to an excellent meal. This property was a great value and we would rent here again if we ever make another trip to Vail.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, romantic getaway.
Owner response: Jason--thanks for the kind words. You were great to work with also. Yes the restaurant is quite good and the upstairs bar area is a nice place to go when you want something quick and more casual or live music. Judy

Perfect quiet units a for two couples ski vacation. Very clean. Great location, only about a 10 minute bus ride to Vail resort. Kitchen was stocked with the essentials, condiments, plastic baggies, tin foil. Living room has lots of movies to choose from if it was storm day. Had memory foam pads on the beds...like sleeping on a cloud! Only bummer was that you had to pay $10 a day a person to use the hot tub, even if you didnt want to use the rest of the club. Was worth it after a day of skiing but still a rediculous fee.Would recommend to others.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, romantic getaway.
Owner response: Colin--Thanks for your review. Yes, it is unfortunate that renters have to pay the club fee and there is no way around that. I keep that in mind and try to keep the rental rates low. If you have a longer stay, you can get a 25% discount on club fees. Glad you enjoyed everything. Judy

My husband and I had a comfortable stay. The condo is has a cozy ambiance with comfy furniture. The heat worked well during the 20 degree weather, the kitchen with full appliances, and the internet worked well. The unit is a 3 min walk to the Vail Racquet Club Recreation Ctr. with a clean facility, well working fitness equipment, outdoor heated pool that was wonderful for doing laps in the 20 - 30 degree weather (it was snowing while we were swimming at one point - awesome!), two jacuzzi, and The Alpine Tavern (we did not get a chance to visit for a drink or eat). We took advantage of the nearby Safeway in West Vail for breakfast foods, 2 homemade dinners, and snacks. The rest of the time was spent skiing, eating sushi and pizza in Vail, and some bar hopping in Vail Village, Lionshead Village, and on top of the mtn at Eagles Nest (Eagle Bahn Gondolla). We used our car for shopping as well as getting to and from DEN airport, but you only need the free shuttle (3-5 min walk from this unit) for getting to Vail Village, Lionshead Village, golf course, and surrounding places. Goodtimes!Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, families with young children, tourists without a car, girls getaway, sightseeing.
Owner response: Thanks for your review. It was very easy to work with you. I, too love the health club and pool. Swimming in the snow may not sound inviting, but it truly is wonderful! Also, FYI, the restaurant at the Racquet Club, the Alpine Tavern has been open for 3 years and is now quite good. It is nice to eat at the upstairs bar when you don't feel like cooking. Judy

This condo was accurately described. It was perfect for our Thanksgiving get away. Our children live in the area and we were able to gather around at a central location for meals and activities. It was easy to get around the area, Vail Village and City Market were close by for all our needs. The condo was clean and had everything that we needed. We were able to connect to the wireless without any problems. Judy was very helpful and answered our questions promptly. We would rent this condo again and would recommend it to others. The skiing was great at Vail and everyone was helpful. The Colorado Ski Museum in Vail Village is interesting. There were many stores to shop for whatever you need. We enjoyed ourselves.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, adventure seekers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.
Owner response: Thank you for your comments. I enjoyed being in touch with you as well. Thanks for treating my little getaway so nicely! Judy

My wife and I stayed in Judy's condo for four days in March, 2010, We had an excellent experience and enjoyed our stay. This is a nice warm place with a nice kitchen and amenities, such as a library stocked with DVD's, movies and games. The master bedroom has a comfortable bed and the two bathrooms were a nice convenience. It's in a quiet location with easy access in and out, with convenient transportation to Vail Village. I would recommend this condo, we will plan to stay there again in the future.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, romantic getaway, girls getaway, sightseeing.
Owner response: Thank you for your kind comments. I am always happy to give a 10% discount to repeat renters. Thanks, Judy

We enjoyed the condo in Jan 2010 appreciated all the first class extras Judy provided--nice wineglasses, an IPOD player, tea, napkins, good light for reading and a great humidifier to use at night. We found the bus service on time and convenient.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

My sisters and I spent 5 days in Judy's condo and loved the convenience and comfort of her place. So close to transportation and quiet, it was a real treat to begin and end each day there. The beds were very comfortable, the kitchen was well equipped, great internet access, and we had a marvelous time playing cards, games, watching her DVDs in the comfort of the dining/living area. For us, it was superior to a hotel stay and we hope to visit Vail again and stay as Judy's guests!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

We had a great time in this condo in March 2009. Everything you need is provided for you. Easy access to Vail transportation and nearby grocery store. Nice balcony and plenty of room for all your things. Internet, TV, movies, board games, couldn't ask for more! Thanks, Judy!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

My finacee and I stayed at Judy's condo in early December 2008. The condo was very clean and had all the necessities to cook on and eat with. It's located on the first floor of the complex, which made getting our things into the condo very easy. There is outside storage for your skis and boots as well, which was very convenient. It was a short walk to the bus stop, which takes you right down into Vail Village. Also, it's located on the bus route at such a location that you're usually one of the first ones on the bus, which is important during the busy ski season. Finally, the grounds crew kept the drives and walkways clear, even after "bad" weather, making it easy to get around. We would definitely stay at Judy's condo during our next trip to Vail, and would highly recommend it to anyone else seeking an excellent vacation value!!!Did you find this review helpful?

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2005
About the owner: I grew up on the east coast and have been living in Denver for about 30 years. Since then I have been enjoying the mountains--skiing, hiking and biking. I have been coming up to the Racquet Club with friends and was lucky to purchase my own unit. I work in Denver and come up here whenever I can.
Why the Owner Chose Vail Racquet Club:
I love the quiet of East Vail with easy access to Vail mountain and the town of Vail. It is also an easy drive from Denver. I happen to be a tennis player and having the tennis courts, pool and work-out facility is a huge plus for me.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo:
I love easy access to hiking and biking, the convenience of the bus for skiing and the ambience of the Racquet Club.
