Nice big place, comfortable beds and lots of bathrooms. Stand alone so nice privacy. Good kitchen and hot tub too. You get more room for having to take the bus to the lifts, but it's worth it if you want space. Helpful host and good communication. I'd stay here again!

With the Free Town Bus only steps from our home, a flat walk takes you to the Pitkin Creek Bus Stop. The bus loops every 15 minutes, making access to Vail Village and the ski slopes quick and easy. Once at our home you do not need a car and you can avoid costly in town parking. Your group can come and go as they please. Guests love our home because of the frequemcy and proximity of the Free Bus.

The bus comes every 15 minutes just past the end of our driveway. Super easy to get to town and the ski lifts. Cars are not needed to get to and from skiing and town restaurants and bars. There is a local , small grocery store / market, , and liquor store near the house, just East of the bus stop. So far this season we have had almost 20 feet of snow at the house.

We stayed for an entire month and absolutely loved every moment. The home is actually better in person than it is in the listing. It is clearly a much loved family property, which you can tell from the quality furnishings and the fact that there is everything you could possibly need for a great stay. The host is communicative and generous—it felt like staying at a friends house.

Best Ski Vacation Home

It was wonderful to have all the space for the family. The house was clean, well equipped, and the beds were amazingly comfortable. The free ski shuttle was easy walking distance with ski boots on, easier than parking at the mountain! The hot-tub was perfect for recovery, will stay again!

We had such an amazing time. The house was absolutely perfect. The free bus was right outside of the house and ran every 15 minutes, made is so convenient to get to the village. We absolutely loved the hot tub, was so nice after a day of skiing. The house had everything we needed (appliances, dishes, linens). Richard was super responsive before and during our trip, he provided weather updates and recommendations for ski rentals and things to do. We were worried coming from Florida regarding the snow fall but didn’t notice it on the mountain. We had snowfall the first few days and the mountain had plenty of runs open. We only had a few of us but the house has so many beds and can easily sleep 10. We can’t wait to return and would definitely rebook the property

Thank you Ryan for your glowing review. Families love our home. You mentioned what everyone likes best - the Kitchen, the Views, the Free Bus next to our driveway. I should add - Free Parking (this is a big savings given that Vail now charges $50 per day per car in town). We have been a VRBO "Guest Favorite" home for over 14 years! Our many guest reviews say it all. PS - so far this ski season, 2025/2026, has been the lowest snow fall ever record Year to Date in Vail, yet 100% of the Front Side of Vail Mountain is open and the skiing has been amazing! We receive 20 to 30 feet of snow at our home every year without fail. Don't let the weather reports mislead you, even what outsiders might call a bad snow year in Vail is still better than the best year elsewhere. For me and everyone who has come up this year, we have had the perfect ski vacation. The Vail grooming and snow management is the best in the World, even better than Deer Valley Utah. Come get it!

Great home!

From start to finish it was a great stay. Richard and Katie are great hosts and go out of their way to make for a smooth stay. Lovely home, well appointed kitchen, which got lots of use. Hot tub provided perfect post-ski therapy. Plenty of towels, comfortable beds, living room layout made for great game nights. Location is 5 min walk to bus and then a 10 minute ride, making a car useless. Would absolutely stay with Richard and Katie again!

Great Vail Ski House

We couldn’t have been happier with our week’s stay at the Big Horn house for our guys ski vacation! We took full advantage of the very comfortable living space, garage doubling as a ski locker, full bedroom suites, 8 person hot tub, and the many other amenities. It was really enjoyable to end our days on the mountain staying in for relaxed cooking, drinks and meals around the kitchen and dining room table. Super grateful for time at your roomy, very convenient, and lovely ski house. The four of us can’t wait for our next stay at Big Horn in 2026!

Ski In Ski Out - with Town of Vail Bus

This was perfect home for two families with Children. The 4 kids were tucked away in the bunk room with games and a TV. We parents had our own master suites. The kitchen had everything needed to cook a group meal. The bus stop for the FREE town of Vail ski bus was just out the driveway to the East. The bus ran every 15 minutes so even when Dad forgot his googles,!it was no problem to go back to the home, grab the forgotten items and still meet us at the lift without a hold up. This was our best ski vacation Ever.

Perfect Big-Group Getaway in Vail – Highly Recommend!Our large group had a fantastic stay at this Vail mountain house—it was everything we hoped for and more! The location is perfect: right on the Vail bus route, making it incredibly easy to hop to the slopes, Vail Village, or anywhere else without worrying about driving or parking. Out of all our Vail trips, this was hands-down the most convenient setup.The house is spacious and ideal for big groups—tons of room to relax, gather, and unwind after skiing. The fully stocked kitchen had everything we needed (cookware, appliances, utensils, even some staples), so preparing meals for everyone was straightforward and fun. We saved a lot by cooking in instead of dining out every night.The big hot tub was a major highlight—hot, clean, and plenty big for multiple people to enjoy after a day on the mountain. The entire place was impeccably clean, with comfortable beds and a welcoming vibe throughout.Communication with the host was seamless—we primarily worked with Katie, and she was responsive, helpful, and made the whole process effortless. We even sent a quick message during our stay to share how much we were loving it, and everything was handled smoothly.The neighbors were friendly and nice too. If you're planning a group trip to Vail and want a hassle-free, well-equipped home base with prime access, this is the one to book!We'd return in a second. 5 stars across the board!

Wonderful Vail home

We had 7 women in our party ages 20-60. It was a great location, very clean and met all our needs. We utilized the bike path across the road from the property every morning. Loved the hot tub after our hikes. Can’t say enough about the host, Richard. His communication is a 10 and extremely helpful. Both staircases to the lift are steep but we knew that going in. Not a big problem but be selective on who sleeps up there. I would go back in a heartbeat.

Exceptional Property

I am so happy i booked this property for my family summer vacation. The house was extremely clean with all the amenities you could possibly need. We visited during a heat wave and noticed the listing said there was no AC. However, this was not an issue at all. With a few windows open the mountain breeze cooled the place down within minutes. The house even got too cold on a few occasions. There were so many fans located in the house too! Its in a quiet neighborhood right next to the river. My kids had a blast playing in the water and seeing the fish swim. The hot tub was so clean and perfect temp for the summer nights. The best way to relax after a long day of activities on the mountain. I couldnt imagine staying in Vail Village with all of the other people. The house is only minutes away from the village so you can easily get your tourist fix and then head back to the peace and quite neighborhood with beautiful views. I would 100% reccomend this house to any of my friends and family and i will absolutely be looking to book this property next time i visit Vail. Thank you so much to the owners that make this family friendly house available. My family created memories that we will cherish forever!

Thank you and I am glad you had an enjoyable stay. There is a saying that Colorado only has 2 seasons, Winter and July. That is pretty much true. It is also the reason most mountain homes do not have air conditioning. Nighttime lows in the Summer are typically mid 40 degrees to 52 degrees. It isn’t warm at night in the mountains.

Perfect family ski home!

This is a great property and with a perfect host. I will try and capture all the good things:1) Communication with host is outstanding. Richard communicates with you often and is available if you have any questions. However, everything is spelled out for you at check-in as well.2) Location is great. Bus stop is right by the house and since you are one of the last stops before Vail village and first on the way home - bus ride is quick and buses run often and on time. The house is right by the highway but, it never bothered us. There is a little grocery right up the street (within walking distance) for a quick dinner or to grab some basics.3) The house has everything you need. Beds are so comfortable including bunk beds. Kitchen is well stocked including spices, condiments, etc. Bathrooms have everything especially if you forgot something. There are plenty of games, throw blankets to keep you warm by the fireplace, extra towels for hot tub and so much more. They even have a bin of "lost and found" wear which has a lot of extras that actually can come in handy in emergencies (i.e. need one extra layer of something).4) The large hot tub is an added bonus especially after a hard day of skiing. It works wonderfully and if you have a question, again Richard is right there to help you.We will book this location again. As a family, we decided it is one of the best!

This one checked all the boxes - totally satisfied!

We just had such a fantastic time on our Vail vacation! The well-appointed, high end accommodations and thoughtful amenities at Bighorn House not only met, but exceeded our expectations. Richard was truly an amazing host. He was extremely helpful and responsive to any and all questions or concerns that arose both before and during our stay, providing assistance and helpful tips on skiing and what’s available in the area, as well as recommendations on where to eat and shop (definitely need to make any dinner reservations ahead of your arrival). The home lends itself well to groups or multiple families, as each “master” bedroom upstairs has a loft providing extra sleeping accommodations, and an en-suite bathroom. The lower level bedroom also has an en-suite, with two bunk beds; one with top and bottom singles, and one with a single top and double lower bed. The beds were extremely comfortable and the plush white towels enhanced that end of day hot shower. There are lots of extra blankets and pillows, and plenty of storage. The washer/dryer came in handy to refresh ski gear mid week. The heated kitchen and entryway floor is a welcome touch first thing in the morning, and the hot tub is easily accessed right outside the back door. The kitchen is extremely well equipped, with most anything you need should you want to prepare meals. I recommend you hold off going to the grocery (or only pick up your perishables) until you have a chance to check out the condiments, spices and refreshments (there’s an extra fridge in the garage), cleaning and laundry products, and things like ziplock bags that are available for your use, with the expectation that you replace whatever you do use up. This is such a great concept as it definitely helps cut down on your grocery bill, and you’re not tossing perfectly good non-perishables at the end of your stay. You can’t beat the convenience of the Town of Vail free bus - the bus stop is a very short walk to the right out the door and just left at the end of the driveway. You can text “Nbus Vail 953” to 41411 to find our when the next bus arrives before heading out the door. We’ll be back and definitely will not hesitate to book Bighorn House again. Thank you Richard for your part in making our trip such a wonderful and enjoyable experience!
