Make memories with family and friends in this exceptional mountain home just minutes from Vail Mountain. Perfect for multi-generational family vacations, ski trips, summer adventures, or special gatherings, this spacious home combines comfort, privacy, and endless fun for every age.

Surrounded by breathtaking mountain views, national forest, and open space, this home offers the perfect balance of nature, adventure and relaxation.

In winter, you are five minutes from some of the best skiing in the country. Come home to the hot tub, a warm fire, the bar and ice maker, and a spacious kitchen and great room designed for exactly the kind of relaxed, comfortable evening that makes a ski trip truly memorable.

In summer and fall, the valley comes alive and brings world-class outdoor adventure, GoPro Mountain Games, live music and cultural events, performances at the Vilar Performing Arts Center, hillsides blazing gold in aspen season, and a calendar full of reasons to stay longer.

With two fully separate living levels, everyone has space to gather together or spread out privately -- whether that means two families sharing the home, grandparents and grandchildren, or simply adults who want a quiet retreat while others keep the party going.

Located above an exclusive cul-de-sac with the White River National Forest directly behind the property and preserved open space in front of it, this custom-designed home instantly welcomes you with warmth, comfort, beautiful artwork, and thoughtful details throughout.

• Steam shower with multiple shower heads
• Large soaking tub
• Private office with shared gas fireplace

Perfect Getaway!

Gregg was an amazing host and has an absolutely beautiful home. It's upscale but still feels homey, and you have space to breath because they didn't pack people in. Hot tub and outdoor areas were also great. We had one minor issue on check in which was addressed immediately. Couldn't recommend more!

July in Vail

We loved this house for our family (kids ages 3, 5 and 8). The office space was very important for my husband and me to keep up with work for a longer stay. Loved watching the family of deer walk by the large bag windows every day. Awesome house in an awesome location close to Vail and Beaver Creek. Gregg was a fantastic host!

A great place to stay!

My family stayed here with my brother’s family. The property is luxurious and feels more homey than other homes we’ve rented. It is spacious and provided plenty of room for the four adults, plus 4 high school/college aged children. The great room was a cozy hangout for our group. Kitchen is well supplied for cooking. Amenities are all as described. There is a very short drive to Lionshead/Vail Village. The owner responded to my questions promptly and made sure I knew how to contact him in the event of problems, however we had none. Would stay here again and recommend it to others without reservation.

Highland Meadows - Perfect Vail Family Retreat

Wow! That was our collective reaction upon arrival - and the entire experience lived up to those first impressions. Booking and arrival were a breeze. Detailed, written instructions (and information about the home) came in handy throughout the week, and the owner's over-the-top responsiveness made it feel like we had our own personal concierge to guide us if/when needed. The home is very spacious, and laid out nicely to accommodate group time yet also allow everyone to spread out for individual downtime. A soak in the hot tub after hitting the slopes was fantastic, and the steam showers were a nice way to finish off the day, too. We couldn't have asked for a better home for the week, and we look forward to returning!

Inviting home in Vail

The house was inviting and comfortable. It had everything we needed to make us feel at home. We really enjoyed the kitchen area with access to the front porch as well as the backyard patio and hot tub where we unwinded after long days enjoying what Vail had to offer. The house was very private and still close to Vail, restaurants, and shopping. Highly recommended.

Beautiful, well-appointed and warm home in the mountains

My wife and I, and our three children, stayed here for over a week and had a relaxing, enjoyable and cozy time. The home is well-appointed with furniture, all you need to cook a first class meal, a study, private bathrooms for everyone and views outside of virtually every window. We highly recommend this home, but, if you do stay there, please take care of it as we would like to go back and want it to remain in great condition. We should also add that the owner was very easy to work with and very responsive.

Heaven in the Mountains

My family and I recently had one of our best vacations ever, due largely to the amazing home we rented for a week. Spacious, comfortable, in a gorgeous setting with blissful views. The home was right out of "House Beautiful". All the creature comforts you could ask for, steam showers, large kitchen, two living rooms, a whole level just for the kids to call their own. Close to Vail Village. Easy drive to Eagle Vail Airport. Looking forward to coming back next year. Two thumbs up!

My family has stayed at the property a number of times. It's comfortable and spacious. The property listing is accurate and the house was always clean with everything working. The owner was attentive to all our needs and we plan to stay again this winter.

About the host

Hosted by Gregg

Host profile image
After skiing and traveling all over the world and visiting his son (me) while he was living in Vail in the late 80's, my father decided there was no other mountain town that he needed in his life, Vail had everything for him! He purchased a beautiful and secluded piece of land with the hope that he would one day build his dream home there. Between 2000 and 2002 this dream was realized when he and my mother had a home custom-built on the site to meet their every need and desire. Sometime later, as others began to build in the area, we purchased the lot directly in front of our mountain home to assure an open space view in the front (the back faces the White River National Forest, so that view is eternally preserved). As we are not able to use the home as often as we would like to now, we are offering it to a select group of clientele who will respect and appreciate the incredible beauty of the area and our proximity to what is arguably the best ski mountain in the world. We so enjoy the time we spend here with our family (you can see my father with my daughter and his dog in this picture) and look forward to sharing the wonderful ambiance of our home with guests who can similarly appreciate what it has to offer.

Why they chose this property

We have skied and toured all over the world and when I was living in Vail my family visited me here often. The skiing is hands down some of the best in the world, with huge amounts of skiable terrain in one place and lots of powder almost every season. The Summers are gorgeous, the weather is perfect and there is amazing hiking, biking, fishing, golfing, and so much more. The Fall presents an absolutely astounding canvas of colors and tones and is cool and crisp. This is simply one of the most beautiful places in the world and we knew it would serve our family well for years to come.

What makes this property unique

Extremely private, direct view of national forest (back yard ends at forest), preserved open space in front of house, exquisitely designed and decorated for comfort and gatherings of family and friends. Wildlife sightings are frequent in the summer.
