About this property

3 Bedroom Townhome, overlooking the EagleRiver, minutes to Beaver Creek and Vail

Located in a quiet, small community, our River Forge townhome is unique from the typical condo/townhome location which often have a large number of other units and people all around you. River Forge is tucked away and nestled alongside the Eagle River in Avon, and very quiet and peaceful.

This comfortable and cozy townhome features all 3 bedrooms upstairs each including luxurious linens and 2 full baths. The master bedroom has a king sized bed, walk in closet and flat screen TV. The best feature about this room, and the bedroom right next to it, is the large sliding window that when opened, even slightly, allows you to hear the beautiful sound of the Eagle River right below. The master bath is accessed from the master bedroom and has double vanity sinks and an oversized tub with shower enclosure.

The larger bedroom has a queen bed and two twin beds. The other bedroom on the riverside also has a queen bed. All bedding is comfortable quality from Pottery Barn. If needed, there is a blow-up twin mattress in the closet (with extra bedding).

The second full bath with shower enclosure is located off the hallway upstairs by the bedrooms.

Downstairs you will find a half bath, the utility room with full sized washer and dryer, and cubbies for hats and gloves.

Also on this main floor is a kitchen with new dishes, glassware and cookware, and new appliances, such as toaster oven, 4 slice toaster, coffee maker/hot water dispenser, large crockpot and large electric skillet. If you want to cook and eat at 'home', you'll find everything you need except the food! The kitchen opens into the dining area with farm table, four chairs and a bench, with a gorgeous view. Open the sliding doors next to the table that open onto the deck and enjoy the calming sound of the Eagle River.

Adjacent to the dining area is the living room, comfortable and cozy with games for your enjoyment, as well as a 60 inch flatscreen HD TV and Blu Ray player. Our home has Comcast cable TV, as well as wifi for your convenience. The space includes a gas fireplace with logs, that warms up surprisingly with the flip of a switch. There is a large picture window with a gorgeous view.

The deck overlooks the river and includes a Weber grill and table with 6 chairs, a great place for relaxing in summer months.

River Forge is located about 1/2 mile east of Avon Road on Highway 6, tucked off the road, fronting the Eagle River. Fly fishing is literally right out the door! Convenient to restaurants, shopping, grocery stores, bakeries and Starbucks, you are literally minutes from everything Avon/Beaver Creek has to offer, and very close to Vail and Arrowhead as well. The bus stop is just steps away from our home. The Westin Riverfront hotel is 1/2 mile west where you can take the Gondola up to the ski area and other lifts. The 'Bear' parking lot is only blocks away on Highway 6, which provides a convenient shuttle to Beaver Creek Ski area.

Wonderful townhouse in an amazing location!

This property is amazing! We love staying at River Forge! The townhouse is clean, large enough for our family of 4, close to everything Avon has to offer, and the views and sounds of the river cannot be beat. Easy access to Beaver Creek for skiing and shopping. The hosts are the best! Can’t wait to return!

Look No Further!

The property was exactly as described. Clean, well stocked kitchen, garage parking, close to Avon town center and Beaver Creek resort. An extra bonus was that the condo was right along the eagle river. The river sounds are very soothing, especially at night while sleeping. Jay was gracious and very responsive. Perfect size accommodations for group of 6.

Great place in great location.

Really enjoyed our stay and it's a really great location, also very quiet complex. In particular the kitchen was as well stocked as any place we've stayed, with foil/wrap/coffee filters etc, as well as non stick pans that actually still have the non stick in perfect shape (a rare find in our experience with condo kitchens). I will also note the tea kettle was a personal favorite, may have to get one like that for home.

We enjoyed our stay so much. This is what we dreamed of for retirement. This is a very clean, well equipped home and excellent communication with owners. We were close enough but not too near anything we wished for.

This is the best VRBO we have ever rented, and we have stayed at many across the United States. Clean, beautifully decorated, abundant creature comforts, and a great location makes this a perfect 5 star spot. If I could give 6 stars, I would!

Great Townhome, great location

The property is very nice and well stocked. The townhome is very clean, cozy, and comfortable. A/C units in all bedrooms upstairs in case the weather gets a little too warm. The location is great, overlooking the Eagle River. The owners are wonderful to work with. We will definitely be returning.

Ultimate respite from Texas heat

The townhome located in Avon was the perfect location for all our activities. Backing up the the river made for a beautiful setting and sleeping even better with the sound of the river. House was very well maintained and host provided nice amenities. Jay and Elaine were very responsive to questions and offered great recommendations. We will definitely be back!

February Ski Trip

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the townhouse in Avon. The unit was exactly as advertised- clean, well equipped and maintained. Location was convenient to bot Beaver Creek and Vail resorts. Hosts were great with communication before and during the visit. We had zero issues with the rental process or the unit during our visit. We will definitely stay at Jay and Elaine’s townhouse again, if available on future trips to the Vail region.

The perfect ski getaway!

This is the perfect property for a ski trip. With easy access to both Beaver Creek and Vail, we were on the mountain in no time. And the property’s wonderfully organized garage made it easy to unpack and load up our gear each time. The rooms were clean, comfortable and spacious. We had everything we needed and enjoyed sitting by the fire in the evenings and gazing at the river and mountains outside the window. We’ll be rebooking this property for all future trips to the area!

Cozy Townhouse

Our group of 8 absolutely LOVED this property. It is conveniently located and has a great view from the back patio. The 3rd bedroom with the 3 beds was absolutely perfect for our teens. The owners are so easy to get in touch with, have helpful tips for area restaurants and activities and are great to work with. The townhouse is well stocked with everything you could need and is well taken care of. We do plan to return to this property again in the future.

The property is actually better than what we expected. Jay was simply one of the best hosts ever. He was very thoughtful in communicating some hazardous conditions before we left and throughout our stay, made sure that we had everything that we needed.

Nice Townhome

We enjoyed our stay in the Avon/Edwards area. The location of the townhome was close to restaurants, stores, bike trails, bus stops, parks, etc. It was nice to be able to ride our bikes to a lot of places! We made a lot of meals at the townhome and were able to find plenty of dishes, pots, pans, outdoor grill, pantry items, etc. The view from the back deck next to the creek was very relaxing. This is a really nice townhome to stay in.

Beautiful river front home

We had another great trip to Avon at River Forge! This was our third time staying at the property. It is perfect for our family of 4! The townhome is close to the bike path and within walking distance to many shops and restaurants. Being able to open a window and listen to the sounds of the Eagle River was extremely relaxing! Jay and Elaine are so kind, friendly, and welcoming! We can't wait to return!

Absolutely Lovely Avon Home

From the wonderful location close to Vail/Beaver Creek and western CO, to the comfy beds and homey touches throughout to the deck over looking the river, this home is a true retreat. The homeowner is also wonderful to work with...always available for advice on local eats or how to best find the property after dark. My daughter and her fiancé fly-fished on the river while I sipped wine and watched. Best of both worlds! I cannot wait to return!

About the host

Hosted by Jay and Elaine Turner

Host profile image
We are from Dallas and visited Vail Valley for the first time in 2012. We were instantly hooked on the beauty, the cool temps (in August!), and everything that the Valley had to offer for recreation and relaxation. We began looking for something to purchase and share, and to hopefully someday, be able to spend more time. It didn't take long as we found River Forge. Our goal is to make the townhome our home away from home, and be able to share it with friends and family and new friends who come our way by VRBO.

Why they chose this property

Quite simply, it was first, the location, and the beautiful setting right on the Eagle River. Getting in and out is so easy, and River Forge really is convenient to all the things there are to do in the area. The serenity and beauty of the river cannot be overstated.

What makes this property unique

So close to everything! Just a few minutes drive up to Beaver Creek Village or Vail Village or Arrowhead. Or bike riding along the beautiful paved pathway that follows along the Eagle River... There's just so much to do, in any season, and River Forge is right there in the middle of all of it!
