About this property

Larkspur Lodge, Single Family, hot tub, bus, parking for 4 cars AC.

The LARKSPUR LODGE is a single-family home located in one of Vail's most scenic neighborhoods. Enjoy the views from this beautiful log cabin with an open floor plan, private 7-person hot tub on its own deck, four bedrooms, two baths, one car garage, wood stove, ROKU SMART TV'S. and XFINITY BROADBAND INTERNET (fastest service in Vail), AC in upstairs, and a house acoustic guitar. Located in the heart of West Vail, 150 feet from the free Town of Vail bus stop, no car is needed for you to get to and from Vail Village and the slopes.

This recently updated, family-owned vacation home is not part of a rental pool and is used primarily by our family as a second home. You will deal with the owners directly instead of with an uncaring rental agency.

Fully furnished to sleep eight people comfortably with QUEEN BEDS in the master and in both guest bedrooms, a full/twin bunk bed in the third guest room, and a queen sleeper sofa in the living room. All with down comforters and pillows! The updated kitchen has stainless steel appliances, granite counter tops and everything you'll need for cooking at home. AC in the main living area and upper two bedrooms, lower bedrooms are naturally cool in summer. New pots and pans (6/1/2022) New 43-inch ROKU smart TVs in the upper and New 50-inch ROKU smart TV in lower living area. 32-inch smart TV in Master as well. The front deck offers an opportunity for dining al fresco at a redwood table for 8 and a Weber gas BBQ for grilling year-round, all with incredible views of the Davos Trail. The back deck has a 7-person hot tub in a very private setting. Parking available for up to 5 cars. RV's and Trailor/Atv's require permission from owner.

While the home is a true log cabin, the interior has been completely remodeled and has all the modern conveniences you'll need to enjoy your stay in Vail. 7-8 guests can comfortably sleep, cook and relax in this peaceful mountain home that is located close to town, skiing and nightlife but yet far enough away that you can relax in our quiet neighborhood and enjoy the beautiful natural surroundings. Free bus that goes to Vail Village every 20 minutes 200 yards from front door!!

Alpine and Nordic skiing, snowshoeing, ice skating, hiking, biking, golf, fly fishing, and tennis are all nearby as is the newly renovated Gerald Ford Amphitheater. Stephen's Park and playground is less than a 5-minute walk down the road.

Once you arrive there is no need to drive. Leave your car in the garage and walk 150 feet to the bus stop for the free, ten-minute ride to the Heart of Vail Village. Or walk, roller blade or ride your bike into town on the beautiful bike path that runs alongside Gore Creek.

Ski vacation

Wonderful stay. 5 college classmates (age 65+) spent a week skiing Vail, Beaver Creek and Copper Mountain. Each bedroom afforded good privacy. The cabin is a 3 minutes walk from the free bus service Meadowbrook stop. Hot tub on the deck was great - clean and well-maintained. Kitchen had all necessary utensils and a stock of spices, cooking oil and some dry goods left from other tenants. Beds were comfortable. Heat worked well. Owner was responsive to inquiries and minor fix-its (like rebooting the wi-fi from 3 to 30 Mbps). Driveway may fit 4 cars in the summer but realistically only fits 2 with the winter's snowpack - one (a mini-van) in the garage and one (standard SUV) parked off to the side. Would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful family ski trip west vail

This was our first trip to vail though we have skied most of the Denver resorts in the past. Included are some tips we learned on this adventure. Vail is HUGE! Both the resort itself and town are large compared to other resorts. Our experience with Lakespur Lodge was excellent. It’s a lovely home and perfect for a family ski trip The home is a short walk from the bus stop, and easy enough in ski boots. The rental shops in town will store skis and poles overnight. The free shuttle system in Vail is THE way to get around. Easy and on time. Parking in the resort is not all that close to the lifts. DETAILS: The lodge is 2 stories; there are separate thermostats for each level. The stairs are a spiral staircase; important if you have small children or elderly. There are outside entrances for both levels. Beds and pillows are very comfortable; probably the best of all of our VRBO experiences. Plenty of TVs and good high speed internet. Kithchen well equipped with pots and pans, dishes, and a few spices as well. Lots of little touches; games for the children, snowball maker, etc. Wonderful private hot tub on the veranda; outside grill. Andy and Meg are readily accessible and responded quickly when my wife locked herself out! Overall, an excellent experience; enjoyed immensely. Accolades to Andy and Meg!

Stay in Vail

This is a very quaint, cozy cabin in Vail. It's in a great location right by a playground, a stop for the bus system, and right off the highway. We loved the hot tub and the beds were quite comfortable (probably my best night sleep in a VRBO). For the price, I was expecting a little more. It just seems run down i.e. bulbs were out in the lamps, the soap dispenser didn't work in one of the bathrooms, the knives are all extremely dull, the electric outlets are all full so if you want to plug in a computer, you'll have to unplug something else. It definitely seems like a rental property. They are clearly just little things, but something to note.

PERFECT VAIL CABIN!

Firstly, the cabin is just perfect - it's a shame more of these properties don't still exist in East and West Vail. We had a group of six - from teens to young and middle age adults. The "kids" took the downstairs and we took the upstairs bedroom - perfect set up for us. The large front deck is just wonderful, as is the back deck with the hot tub. Kitchen very well equipped. And the owners, Andy and Meg, are local and super responsive! And you cannot discount being right at the bus stop - all in all fabulous - we will ABSOLUTELY stay at Larkspur Lodge again!

This was the perfect place for us. Casual, comfortable lodge/cabin type accommodations.

Exactly what we needed for this week in Vail. Great open space on main floor and the front patio. Bed access for 2 people a little tight but wasn’t a problem. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Guys Week

We chose the Larkspur Lodge for our annual ski trip. As we continue to age, we learn to appreciate having adequate space for both lounging and storing our gear. The Larkspur Lodge worked out perfectly as we were able to keep all of our gear in the clean garage and there was adequate sleeping space for eight adults. Spending the extra money vs staying in a condo was worth every penny...PRIVATE (CLEAN) HOT TUB! Our only complaints were that we had to buy our own detergents for the washer and dishwasher. Also, the mini fridge in the basement had an atrocious smell from previous renters, which could clear out the entire room if you opened it. This essentially rendered the fridge useless for our stay, but luckily we had a couple coolers with that could keep beverages from freezing when left outside overnight. Overall we enjoyed our stay and look forward to renting again in the future!

Great cabin and location!

This cabin fit our needs perfectly for 6 adults and 2 dogs, with room to spare! The location was great-away from the heart of Vail so you had privacy, but close enough to have easy access to the town. The large hot tub on the back deck was wonderful for relaxing and viewing the amazing stars. The bedrooms are a little on the small side, but we appreciated having queen size beds that were very comfortable. I would be careful staying with small children, some pets, and elderly because the spiral staircase could be tricky. The cabin is well supplied with everything you could need. We loved being able to gather at the outside table for a couple of meals! Very relaxing stay! Thank you!

Beautiful home in Vail!

This is a lovely home with five rooms and can accommodate a good number of people. We rented this home so that we could have a rehearsal retreat for our band. There was plenty of room for us to sleep, rehearse, cook and eat meals, and generally function happily. The hot tub outside was a wonderful way to relax after a hard day. The kitchen was well-appointed and easy to use. We cooked full meals there and ate them comfortably at the long table. I would highly recommend this home.
