MODERN CONDO WITH MAJOR RENOVATIONS AND UPDATES

We purchased this condo in Nov. 2021 and added a washer and dryer, beds from Restoration Hardware, as well as new mattresses, pillows and bedding. A good night’s sleep is important! We also updated the condo with new smart TVs in the family room and bedrooms, a Sonos sound bar to bring you theater-like sound to movies and TV, a Marshall bluetooth speaker to play your music, and lots of new kitchen housewares and appliances. New area rugs and family room furniture were added in July 2022. And we added several new games and puzzles for your enjoyment. The previous owners remodeled the kitchen and flooring, with beautiful cabinets, hardwood floors, and granite countertops.

FREE PARKING, TRANSPORTATION & SKI LOCKERS

The condo is located next to the Lionshead parking structure and Dobson Ice Arena. There is free parking for one vehicle per reservation. Several of the parking spaces are covered, and there is ample parking for any sized vehicle. A second car can be parked in the Lionshead garage for a fee. Walk to the villages, or ride Vail's free town shuttle bus that runs continuously in a loop between Lionshead, Vail Village and Golden Peak. The Lionshead stop is right by the condo. If you want to explore other nearby ski areas, Beaver Creek is just 20 min. from Vail, and during ski season, the Vail-Beaver Creek Express has service between Vail, Avon, and Beaver Creek

The condo has a semi-private outdoor hallway with a large bench and ski locker, and space for skis, snowboards and bikes.

BUILDING AMENITIES: HEATED OUTDOOR POOL, HOT TUB, SAUNA, FITNESS ROOM

The Vail International complex features an outdoor heated swimming pool and hot tub with views of Vail Mountain. The outdoor pool is open in the summer and winter and the hot tub is open year-round. There are also men's and women's steam rooms. The workout room is on the same floor as the condo and has cardio machines, dumbbell sets, a Peloton bike, and a treadmill.

FAMILY ROOM, DINING ROOM & WELL-EQUIPPED KITCHEN

In 2021, the entire unit was repainted, updating it with a fresh, modern look. As a third-floor unit with lots of large windows and sliding glass doors, the condo and is bright and open. The family room has all new furniture (Summer 2022), a gas fireplace and a new 50” LG Smart TV. Watch Xfinity or connect to Netflix or other apps to watch your favorite movies and shows.

The kitchen features remodeled cabinets, granite countertops and appliances. It is well-equipped, with pots, pans, a crockpot, cutlery and spices, and everything you might need to cook meals. The kitchen is open to the dining and family rooms, so you can socialize while preparing food. The dining table has six chairs, and the kitchen bar has seating for four more. The sliding glass doors off the dining room open to a small balcony with mountain views.

BEDROOMS AND BATHROOMS

The condo has a large, master bedroom, and a larger second bedroom. Each bedroom has a new 43” Smart TV and a large closet with custom shelving. There are two full bathrooms, one with a tub/shower, and a second bathroom with a shower.

The private, spacious master bedroom features a queen sleigh bed with a pillow top mattress and new down comforter, and a dresser and large closet. The second bedroom has three comfortable beds purchased from Restoration Hardware in 2021: two queen beds and one loft twin bed, as well as a large closet with custom shelving. The twin loft bed over the queen is a separate structure from the queen bed below it, so you will not feel movement from the top or bottom bed. All the mattresses, pillows, down comforters, duvet covers and blankets in the condo were purchased in 2021 and are stylish and cozy. The second bedroom has a sliding glass door that leads to a small balcony.

FAMILY FRIENDLY

The condo owners (Tim and Michelle) enjoy renting to guests and will personalize your vacation with ideas for resort and on- or off-mountain activities. At your service are recommendations for restaurants, nightlife hot spots, transportation, lift tickets, ski and snowboard rentals, activities, and local attractions. Inside the condo are trail maps, activity brochures, restaurant menus, and more.

We live in Colorado, the best place on Earth, and we own this condo as well as a townhome in Breckenridge, both of which are second homes that we use as well as rent. We have skied, biked and hiked with (and without) our kids at both Vail resorts for many years, so we know the towns well. Taking care of our guests and our condos is a full-time job and has been since 2010, because it's one that we love. Expect that we will immediately respond and resolve any issues, and we welcome any ideas you have to improve your stay.

YEAR-ROUND ADVENTURES: SO MUCH TO EXPLORE!

Winter: Vail offers more than world-class skiing. Enjoy scenic gondola rides, snow tubing, outdoor ice skating in the village, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, and backcountry and cross-country skiing.

Fall: Visit Vail for the stunning views of the golden Aspen trees. Bike down the mountain through the glades of glorious aspens, or hike and take in the views. Visit Vail's two Oktoberfest celebrations in September.

Summer: Just out the door is the Gore Valley trail, a paved walking/biking path which runs along Gore Creek. Bike 2 - 3 minutes to the gondola in Lionshead, where you can haul your bike up and fly down the mountain. For road bikers, there are miles and miles of recreational paved trails. Other nearby summer activities include miles of hiking trails, fishing, whitewater rafting, lakes with SUP, ATVs, horseback riding, and zipline adventures.

We own a second condo in Breckenridge, which we also rent out. If you are considering Breck, check out our other VRBO website, www.vrbo.com/500182.

Vail Retreat
We absolutely loved staying here! The condo was beautiful, clean, accommodating and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the views of the mountain from the condo and we looked forward to coming back to a cozy place after a long day of skiing. It was within walking distance of the gondola, at Lionshead and a bus ride away to all of the restaurants and shops. I would definitely stay here again if we venture back to Vail! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful vacation home!! XO

Excellent stay!
The hosts were very friendly, communicative and easy to reach with questions about the property. We enjoyed our ski trip and loved the proximity to Lionshead. The condo was very small but nicely renovated and very comfortable. The listing did not mention that the master bath is in a hallway and not en suite. Bring robes if you are all not related. Also, the washer dryer was in one of the bedroom closets with no lighting which was awkward. We also wish the condo had a larger hot tub. It was always full after ski hours. Overall it was a great experience.

Vail get a way for 60th birthday
Our VRBO stay in Vail was exceptional! The cleanliness and availability of essential items made it hassle-free. The easy walk to Lionshead and Vail Village for sightseeing, food, and coffee added to the convenience. The Messners' prompt responsiveness via text or phone call ensured a seamless and enjoyable experience. Highly recommended!

About the host

Hosted by Michelle and Tim Messner

Host profile image
We moved to Colorado from the East Coast in the 1990's for Colorado's lifestyle, with world-class outdoor recreation, a unique culture and sense of community, beautiful weather including 300 days of sunshine a year, and friendly, down-to-earth people. Of all the mountains in Colorado, Vail is hands down our favorite, a true slice of heaven on earth, with generally warmer weather, light, dependable powder and challenging skiable terrain, a family friendly atmosphere, and a charming, European-style village. As a family of five, and we love to ski, snowboard, bike, hike, and explore restaurants, and Vail has all of that. The town is alive in the winter, recreation is abundant in the spring and summer, and the colors are unforgettable in the fall. We've made many great memories in Vail with family and friends, and we are fortunate to own a condo in our happy place!

Why they chose this property

Why did we choose a condo in Lionshead? Vail and Lionshead Villages feel like another world, with cobblestone streets, a European vibe, and alpine-inspired architecture and charm. For good reasons, Vail is the #1 mountain in the United States, with a stunning amount and variety of skiable terrain, top notch mountain biking, eclectic menus, and fun après scenes. This condo is ideal because it is in a convenient location, nestled between Vail Village and Lionshead and walking distance to everything. It a short walk to the Blue Moose Pizza, our go-to pizza restaurant, Sweet Basil, and many other great options. It has an open layout with amazing views of the slopes from every room, free parking, and a heated outdoor pool and a waterfall hot tub!

When we purchased the condo, it was beautifully remodeled and in pristine condition, having never been rented, but we updated it to make it feel more like home to us. We enjoy spending time in the mountains as a family and with friends, as well as renting it to our guests.

We own one other mountain home, in Breckenridge, which we also rent through VRBO. We sold our other Breckenridge condo to buy this condo in Vail. Check out the reviews of our Breckenridge townhouse. The web address is www.vrbo.com/500182.

What makes this property unique

We love renting to guests! Our Breckenridge condo guestbooks are full of wonderful reviews that warm our hearts, memories made on vacations by other families who stayed at our homes. In Breckenridge, we have several repeat renters who stay at our condos year after year, and we truly enjoy having them as guests. Vail is newer to us, but we use both condos year-round as well as rent them out and will continue to make major and minor updates several times a year. We are available 24/7 and will do our best to make this your favorite vacation home, as it is for us. We’re certain you’ll enjoy our place as much as we do!
