Remodeled platinum rated heart of Lionshead by Gondola walk to shops/dining!

The location of this condo is ideal! Wonderful ski rental place right below the condo where you can store skies and boots, and your front door is within 100 yards of ski school signup and lift/gondola. It's an older building but all interior of the condo is recently updated. It is a little smaller than the pictures look. I stayed with my 3 boys - 16 yr old twins and 11 yr old - and it was pretty crowded. Had my husband joined us, it would have been extremely tight. We were barely in the condo and we stored or equipment at the rental location, so it made little difference to us. The condo has two queen beds, a king bed, and a queen sleeper sofa - but with bags, ski clothes, suitcases and people, there wouldn't be much room for more than 4. The kitchen was well stocked with essentials including coffee, spices, olive oil, and even laundry soap. Bathrooms included shampoo, soap, lotion, blowdryer and linens. Overall very nice, especially for the price.

We had a wonderful time staying in this rental unit. The location is beyond amazing and worth every penny (especially with young children). The pictures are an accurate description of the apartment. The unit was very clean, and the beds were beyond comfortable (almost more than ours at home). Something else that was awesome (and all units should consider having) is that it had a key pad to get in, as opposed to a key. This allowed any member to come and go, and not depend on a key for entry.

The management company was very attentive as well. I couldn't find the laundry machines and they stayed with me on the phone until I found it.

It is located right on top of the french bistro, which is awesome if you want to go down, grab breakfast, and bring it back up. If you want Starbucks, thats only a couple of feet away as well. We also went to Bart and Yeti's and could see our children from the restaurant. Also, its right around the corner from the bus shuttle that takes you to Vail Village.

A couple of observations:

* The bedrooms have sliders, not windows. So if you like sleeping with a window open, you wont be able to.

*The beds have really comfortable and thick blankets, so dont dress warm for bed or you will be hot.

*Use the humidifiers to take away the dryness of the air. Each room has one.

* If you have small kids, just be careful with the ski boots coming down the stairs. I would recommend putting on the ski boots on the bottom. (Unless they are very careful).

*If you plan on doing laundry, make sure to bring a handful of quarters with you. The washer/dryer are pretty close to the apartment unit.

Something else that is nice, is that if you are going with another couple and they are staying on the same floor, you can access their unit from the back sliders. (as its one long hallway).

We plan on returning to the unit in the future because we had a beyond wonderful experience!!

Property has a great location, only a short walk from the gondola. Condo was clean and kitchen had all necessary appliances/cookware and dishes. Good space for four people.

Great location in the heart of Lionshead. Short walk to Eagle Bahn Gondola (about 1 minute). The condo was very clean and well kept. We were a party of 4 (Me, my wife and 2 daughters) and was just about the right size but it may feel a little small for a party of 4-6 skiers. We definitely stay here again. It offers a great balance of location Vs price.

This is a great property, clean, modern and very close to the Lionshead Lift. It could not have been better for a skiing vacation in Vail.
