Great Location - Superb Communication - Well Appointed

Larry was an awesome host, his communication was flawless and timely for any questions pre trip and while staying there. Property has a ton of space for a big group, we had 12 adults. Well appointed kitchen and an ideal location to get between Vail and Lionshead - the bus stop right out front was very convenient.

Excellent home and location for Vail!

We just checked out of this property and our group was very happy with our stay. The house slept 10 very comfortably and was very well equipped with everything we needed. The pool table and hot tub were nice amenities! The location was fantastic and was a quick five minute walk to Vail Village or Lionshead, and was directly on the bus route to boot! The views from the living room of the creek and mountains were amazing! We already booked our stay again for next year, and can't wait to return!

Great location

This is a great place to stay for larger groups. Plenty of space and the rooms / beds are as shown on the website, plenty of bathrooms. The Hot tub is great to relax after a day out, the fireplace adds to the charm of the place. Large kitchen, well stocked with everything you need including a large BBQ on the terrace, reliable Wifi. The house is in between the Lionshead and Vail gondolas, a bus service runs every few minutes in both directions, it takes about 10 minutes to get to Lionshead with the bus or about a 15 minute lovely walk along the river. Check in / out were a breeze, correspondence with the host straightforward and immediate.

Spacious Home in an Amazing Location

Great house with a ski trip! We had 6 couples and we each had our own bedroom, and space to hangout in the evenings. The hot tub and fireplace were a nice touch. The home was generally clean, the bathrooms were nice, and everything worked properly. The location right between Lionshead Village and Vail Village was amazing, we walked to dinner each night. The best part was the bus stop right in front of the home, which made for easy drop off after a long day of skiing. Great visit, thank you Larry!

Vail 2023

This property is in a beautiful location and close to both sides of Vail (the Village and Lionshead). Easily accommodates the 12 that it lists. Communication with property manager was easy. Shuttle stop is directly in front of house, making it easy to get to the base at Lionshead or Vail.

Great location

Literally the best location in Vail between Vail Village and Lionshead. Once you arrive you will not need a car. Shuttle stop right in front of property. The home itself is cozy with a great deck and views from the back of the property. The home itself is rather long in the tooth, a 70s/80s lodge style. Not all windows operable. Tech setup is old. "Living room" areas are split between floors, so if you have a large group that might interfere with being together.

Awesome house. Feels as if you are stepping back in time.Great Location - right in between Vail villageand Lionshead. The in-town bus stops directly in front of the house every 7 minutes like clockwork. The walk to Eagle Bahn gondola took me 6 min 50 seconds in ski boots.Larry is a great host with excellent communication. He usually responds in seconds, and never took longer than a couple minutes to respond. Amazing views of golden peak. Propery is right on Gore Creek. Two wood burning fireplaces with at least a month’s supply of wood conveniently located just outside the door.The bedrooms and bathrooms are on the smaller side. Though the house is clearly advertised as being 3,050 sq feet. So with 6 bedrooms and 5 full bathrooms, “cozier” spaces are to be expected.The bottom line is that both the house and the host exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend!

Great Location for the Family

It is no secret that this is an older property. For us it is part of the charm. You can not beat the amazing location. For my parents (almost 90) it works great because it is such a short distance to town, and the bus stops both ways right infront of the driveway.
