Mountain Log Home overlooking Gore Creek

The cabin was so beautiful inside and out! All of the wood beams and log walls were gorgeous! The big wood burning fireplace was perfect. I was worried that we would hear noise coming from the highway, but the sound of the river by the cabin was all we really heard. The Cabin had all we needed, and the area was quiet and beautifully flowered and treed. Close enough to Vail to walk... a good long stretch of the legs. Such a beautiful walk along the river... passing by parks and winding through the woods. We would definitely rent this cabin again. Although, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the beds.... If you like soft beds, you won’t appreciate these. I like a firm mattress, so it didn’t really bother me. It seemed like all the beds had the same mattress.

Very comfortable log home. Extremely cozy and the kids really enjoyed the log experience. The house was located minutes from vail and the bus worked great. It was the first stop and we had a seat everyday. The house is well appointed and the kitchen was better equipped than my home.

The owner was very pleasant to deal with and the cabin was among the most well outfitted rental homes we've ever encountered. Really comfortable beds, lots of towels, clean and in great condition. The only drawback was due to my own unfamiliarity with the Vail. I had hoped to be a bit more removed from the "hustle and bustle", but everything in Vail is in close proximity to the Interstate.

Once you get used to the roundabouts, everything is pretty easy to get to. There is a Safeway just down and across I-70 and an enormous Wal-Mart and Home Depot just a couple exits west in Avon. Plan on parking and walking in Vail proper or taking advantage of the public transit.

We spent a lot of our time back to the east of Vail. Don't miss the drive to the top of Mt. Evans (highest auto road in North America) and the narrow-gauge railroad in Georgetown. The town of Idaho Springs is charming looking. Folks who get the shopping bug can probably find an "outlet" in Silverthorne/Dillon. There is a large outlet shopping complex on both sides of I-70 and a lot of big-name shops. Most of all, enjoy the beautiful mountain scenery...any time of the year.
