About this property

Walk to Lion's Head! Large, spacious home w/ hot tub and views of the mountain!

Vail STR # 009314

Located just 10 minutes from Vail Village by the FREE bus (bus stop is at the end of the drive way!), or a 15 minute WALK to the Lionshead Gondola, restaurants and shops. This house is in the ideal location for those who don't want to deal with a long bus ride or the craziness/expensiveness of the Vail parking garages. Stay in our home and see the mountain from your deck! Our home is ready for you and your friends or family.

The house is perfect for entertaining! With its large, spacious kitchen that opens up to a warm, inviting dining room and family room on the main floor (with a gas fireplace, grand piano & smart TV) and a second family room on the second floor with a TV, there's a spot for everyone (perfect for big groups – giving a little privacy to all). There is also a den/sun room on the main floor (off the kitchen) with tons of games and toys for the kids.

The large kitchen has granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances and every cooking utensil and appliance you could need. We also keep coffee, spices and condiments stocked. A huge deck wraps around the house and offers views of the mountain from one side and a seven-person hot tub on the other. Our home has a large yard but also backs up to a great park. With a huge play area for kids and a sand volleyball court, it's fun for all ages. In the winter there is also a small sledding hill for the little ones.

The main master bedroom has a new king-size bed, fireplace, smart TV, private deck, jacuzzi tub, and steam sauna. The second master bedroom has a king-size bed and private full bathroom. The third and fourth bedrooms come with twin-size bunk beds and share a three quarter bath. There is also a secret loft space that houses two single beds. The kids love it! For additional guests, there is a queen-size sofa-bed in the den/sun-room.

THE HOME IS EQUIPPED WITH DSL INTERNET ACCESS.

Please note:

- This home does NOT have air conditioning, but we've never needed it. There are ample windows throughout the home to open during the summer. We also provide fans in each room should you want a little more airflow.
- There is a separate lock-off apartment below the home that is occupied full time, however the driveway is the only shared space. Our wonderful tenants are responsible for keeping the stairs shoveled for you and taking the garbage out, but otherwise will not disturb you during your stay.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Great Place to Stay in Vail

Great house in a great location. Super easy access to the bus to Vail Village. And, if you have a vehicle, there's a garage! Really, no negative comments about this rental. Description on VRBO is accurate. Owner is great with fast response to messages.

Fantastic Experience - Great Location

This house had all that we needed. We had two families stay and there was plenty of room and all amenities you could ask for. The location was perfect with the ability to walk to Lionshead or easily take the Sandstone bus that stops at the end of the driveway to Vail Village. Olivia was super easy to work with and communicate with answering any questions and able to make accommodations if possible. We have stayed here the last two years and loved it.

Fantastic home for a large group.

We had privacy while inside the home as neighbors were quiet and very polite. Close to I-70 which is noisy night and day. Children’s park was right outside the back door and walking into Lionshead village was not difficult if you are in good shape!

Spacious house near the slopes

Despite being near I-70, the interior is quiet, clean and well laid-out with individual and communal spaces for our group of 6 adult friends. 2025 winter reviews of this house are accurate. In addition to the Safeway, there is a City Market (Kroger) even a bit closer just down the street. The house is showing some wear and tear, as would be expected of a popular rental property, but is still a great find. We would enjoy staying there again.

Family ski trip

This place was amazing and Olivia was quick to respond to any questions. It was roomy, the beds were comfortable, it had everything we needed in the kitchen and it was 10 minutes to the village. The bus was at the end of the driveway to take us skiiing and out to restaurants. Fantastic family trip. You must stay here if you come to Vail.

Summer vaca

We (Denverites) and our friends from Chicago came to Vail for a 5 day trip with our kids (2 each ages 3-7) and could not have found a better place. 2 king beds for the adults and multiple bunk bed options for the kids were great. Amazing park next to the property and a bus stop right in front to get you anywhere uou want to go. The house was spacious and the kitchen was stocked. It was the perfect house for our needs. The host was very responsive.

Convenient stay near Lionshead

My friends and I had a great time at Olivia's property. It was a convenient 10-12 minute walk to skiing, especially if you check your skis and boots near the base (we used Vail Ski Tech). Bit of an incline over the footbridge. Home was laid out well, lots of space for the five of us. Kitchen was clean and well stocked. Hot tub was excellent. Olivia was very communicative and easy to work with, a great host. Would happily return for another ski trip.

Great Ski Vacation with the guys

Eight guys came out for a ski trip and had a blast. Place was plenty big enough for all of us. Pleasantly surprised to find the kitchen stocked with basic condiments, plenty of TP and toiletries. Steam shower in master is awesome! Was a bit further to Lion's Head than we thought, can walk it in regular boots but is tough is ski boots.

Great

We had a great time. We stayed for 4 nights in mid July as a getaway from the south Texas heat. Location is good as there's a nice Safeway and other needed items down the street within a mile. Our kids enjoyed the park, the hot tub, and the very top floor "fort". It was more space than we needed as it will actually sleep quite a few people. As a runner I loved the path along the I-70 feeder. Everything was smooth, the tenant was very nice and very responsive, and I highly recommend it! PS--I will miss the ice cold tap water! Ehh back to Texas..

Amazing ski trip

I stayed at this house for 5 nights with my adult children and their friends (25-30 years old), there was plenty of room for everyone, the location was perfect being on the purple Sandstone bus line with the Red Sandstone Road stop right outside the door every 20 to 30 minutes direct to Vail Village (not Lionshead). Olivia is wonderful and very helpful. The pullout couch is in the office off the kitchen and makes another great bedroom (without a door). The small couch and bean bag upstairs don't convert to beds but make a great lounge area. Safeway grocery store is a close by drive, and the walk to Lionshead is ok if it's not too cold and you aren't carrying skis, otherwise take the bus. The kitchen has everything you need, washer and dryer are great, and hot tub is wonderful. Overall a perfect place to stay, I would definitely rent this place again for my next ski trip.

Great place, great location, great communication.

This place was just what we were looking for. Not right in town but right on a bus line that took you into Vail Village quickly or an easy walk to Lionshead. The place was plenty large for our group of 7 adults, and all of us were able to comfortably watch the NFL playoffs in the living room. The kitchen (and rest of the house) was incredibly well stocked and the hot tub was one of the best I've ever been in, and a great thing for post-skiing recovery. Communication with the owner was easy and really quick, and she even let us check out late as there was nobody checking in the day we were leaving. Even the downstairs tenants were great, helping us jump one of our cars that wouldn't start on departure day. All in all a great house with everything you need an then some. Highly recommend.

Great location and tons of bed space...has everything you will need for your stay

For anyone looking to stay close to Vail/BC, this is a great rental. Highlights: - Shuttle drop off is literally at the end of the driveway - House has all the essentials needed for large groups and or multiple families - While it only has 4 rooms, there are a lot of beds available - Grill and hot tub are great additions - Easy access to I-70 if you are headed to other resorts - Grocery stores and other shops are just down the road The only thing I would say is that some of the furniture in the house is a little old and damaged. Specifically there were some dinning chairs that were broken when we arrived. It didn't keep them from being functional and really was not an issue, but something that could be fixed easily. Overall, I highly recommend this rental. The owner was great at communication and accommodating our group. They are very flexible if able to be with checkin and always available. If you are coming to Vail, this is a great place to stay.

Outstanding Vail Spring Skiing 2 Family Trip!

Two families of 4, kids 11-13yrs old, had a fantastic stay at this VRBO. It is nice, clean, and has plenty of space for kids/teens to have their space upstairs, while adults can hang out downstairs (there is actually a third common use are downstairs with games/chess as well). The house is super close to a playground for mild sledding if enough snow, or there is another park a short 5 minute drive for bigger kids/adults (Ellefson park). Our kids built a 3 room igloo/snow fort right off the back porch! That hot tub was great to relax in, and they have a spa guy come every Monday to treat. We ran out of propane, but Olivia was quick to text back that there were spare tanks in the garage;) Being from Florida, we inquired in advance about humidifiers, and owner was again very responsive that there were humidifiers, but she also ordered two more from Amazon for us. We had no issues/interaction with apartment people/property caretakers, but did see their cars come and go. It is a bit of a hike with ski gear to walk to Gondola, so we ended up driving and parking in the garage for $30 a day. The walk wasn't bad at all for dining (Montauk Seafood was excellent), Hagen Daz ice cream, and ice skating were all fun in Vail Village (feels like you are in the Swiss Alps). Overall, a great owner, awesome communication, and a trip our families will never forget!
