About this property

East Vail Platinum Mountain Modern Residence with Spectacular Views

Town of Vail Short-Term Rental Registration Number - License #: 007124

Come experience 5074 Main Gore Drive that was recently completed from the foundations up by renowned Piper Architects. It is the perfect mountain escape with panoramic views and close access to all the outdoor activities Vail has to offer. Play hard outdoors and return to this beautiful mountain modern home for the whole family to enjoy. Take in the amazing views of the Gore Range, Bald Mountain and the famous East Vail Chutes…truly some of the best views in all of Vail.

Four bedrooms and all new contemporary furnishings and finishes. Spacious family room with inviting and large contemporary sectional couch, 60” gas fireplace and flat screen awaits you for those special family relaxation times. Watch the big game, stream movies on the flat screen, play a board game, listen to music on the Sonos system or simply enjoy your favorite drink in on of the two leather club chairs while you look out the windows across an aspen filled meadow at the majestic Gore Range. Even the hot tub was selected to be special and is a Bullfrog Spa with customized and hydro therapy jetted seats to gently or vigorously message your muscles after a fun filled day recreating in the great Vail outdoors.

This is the perfect home for either a family or up to three couples because one of the four bedrooms can be configured with two XL twins or converted to a king. The owners have blended all the functionality and architectural elements of modern design with the warmth of high-end linens and mountain inspired finishes that are inviting and warm. Gun metal steel stairs with incorporated glass and wood open stair treads great you upon entering the home. Even the artwork that includes a colorful glass art wall display is intended to add to the experience. The master suite is a true oasis with its bathroom equipped with a roman tub, oversized shower and heated tile flooring. For those that enjoy cooking, the modern kitchen is well appointed and stocked with spices and a wine cooler to assure you have everything you need to serve up breakfast or dinner for a crew. There is even a commercial boot dryer that is also great for hats, gloves, helmets and hiking shoes.

Bed Configuration:
Main Bedroom: King Bed with En Suite Bath and TV (Upstairs)
2nd Bedroom: Queen Bed with En Suite Bath (Main Floor)
3rd Bedroom: 2 XL twins that can be converted into a King (Lower Level)
4th Bedroom: 1 Twin and separate bunk with Full lower and Twin upper (Lower Level)

This is truly a special home set in the picturesque high alpine setting of East Vail and just a quick 10-minute drive to the heart of Vail Village for access to skiing, shopping and dining. For those who don’t wish to drive, the free Town of Vail bus picks up every 15 minutes during peak hours and is a 4-minute walk from the house. The Vail bus is perfect for getting to the slopes quickly on those fresh powder days or to a concert at the Ford Amphitheater in the Summer. Parents especially like the convenience of their teenagers having the independence to take the bus into the Village to enjoy pizza or a round of bowling.

If you are visiting during the Spring or Summer, you'll have close access to many outdoor activities, including hiking, biking, fishing, and golfing. Several beautiful hiking trails along Gore Creek and up into the mountains are accessed just down the road in White River National Forest. Bighorn Park is pretty close, too. There the family can have a picnic and enjoy the playground. You can even grab an E-Bike from a bike rack at the park using an app and ride into town along the bike path that parallels Gore Creek. The house includes a multi-zone AC for those few summer periods when natural air flow doesn't cut it to assure your complete comfort.

Your host really enjoys providing locals insights on great restaurants, suggestions for memorable activities to consider during your stay and being ambassadors to all that is special about the Vail Valley. Check out our reviews to see first-hand examples of the personalized service Michael and Trisha take pride in providing our guests.

Top Notch Vail Stay

This home was beyond amazing—beautifully designed, incredibly comfortable, and perfectly located in East Vail. The views of the Gore Range were breathtaking, and the hot tub was the perfect way to unwind after outdoor adventures. We loved the open living space, modern kitchen, and luxurious master suite. Everything was thoughtfully appointed, down to the boot dryer! Can’t wait to come back—5 stars all the way and a huge thank you to Michael who crushed it as a host and made sure we had a perfect stay!

Fantastic Place to Stay!

This house was perfect and Michael was a great host! We had two families (4 adults and 4 boys ages 8-11). The house was very spacious with three levels allowing us to spread out, and also had a great open main level ideal for comfortably hanging out all together. It was clean, well stocked and a great location to grab the local bus to Vail skiing. The hot tub was wonderful to jump in at the end of the ski day and the views were beautiful. Michael gave us great local recommendations prior to our trip and checked in on us when we received a significant amount of snow during our trip. Overall a wonderful trip and we would stay again!

Winter Wonderland

This property was perfect for our group, which included 6 adults and 2 children! The house is modern and well decorated but still provides a cozy atmosphere. The kitchen was very well stocked and great for the times we cooked at home! The hot tub was perfect and easy to use. Michael, the host, was very helpful and informative and very easy to communicate with! The house is about a 5-10 minute walk to the bus stop that takes you in town to vail village - the bus is a very convenient way to get to and from the village! We would love to stay here again!

Nine of us (six adults and three tweens) had a wonderful stay! The house is updated and had everything we needed. The hot tub and sounds from the creek next to the house were an added bonus! It was a short drive into town, and Michael checked in with us often and provided great suggestions for local activities. We definitely would stay here again!

This house was perfect for our family trip to vail. It was spacious, comfortable and well equipped. You can tell the owners take wonderful care of this property. It is warm and inviting with a modern twist. We loved looking at the views from the windows and relaxing in the hot tub. The kitchen had absolutely everything that you could need.

Best place in East Vail!

This was our second stay at this property in East Vail and it continues to impress. Ideally located in a quiet neighborhood, this home is beautiful and spacious with every amenity, and a fabulous view of the mountains. Michael is easy to work with and always quick with a response to any questions. He gave us the inside scoop to efficiently navigate parking at the base and lift lines, thank you Michael!!

Excellent Stay

We had an excellent stay at chez Barney. The house was perfect for our family of 5 including 3 boys 22, 20 and 16. Everyone had their own space to relax after a long day on the mountain on 3 levels of the house. The Barneys were excellent communicators and left detailed instructions on how to navigate both the house and skiing, which was very helpful for first time visitors to Vail. Everything was perfect and we enjoyed the coziness of the house each evening. It was like every aspect of the home was geared to maximize our relaxation. I was very happy with how well stocked the spice rack was since we cooked most evenings. It was a pleasure to meet Michael and Trisha before we left and we hope to visit again soon!

A dream house in Vail Colorado

This house was exceptional. Lots of room for two families of four to coexist and a wonderful central living room kitchen in which to gather. The house was very well appointed with a beautiful large kitchen and we never ran out of dishes, cups or cutlery. Access to the garage let us store our ski gear easily and the ski boot warmers in the downstairs were a luxurious touch. The hot tub fit four adults comfortably and the views are spectacular. Access to Vail village was easy as the bus stop was just down the road or a 10 minute drive to parking in the village. All in all the home was spotlessly clean, well appointed and the communication and service were the best. When we come back to vail as a large group, we will absolutely stay at Michael's home again. Honestly, could not have been better!

Great Location in East Vail with a great host

What can I say about the property?! The property has everything that you will need. From the pans; to the bowls to the cooking utensils; to the screwdriver to tighten up your snowboard bindings. The master bedroom where I stayed, had a great bathroom, a large walk-in closet and a work desk right near the bed, including an extra monitor. For a workaholic entrepreneur like me, the desk right near the bed; came in handy! The property is beautiful and well maintained. You can relax in the hot tub and look at the snowcapped mountains from all sides. Michael is a great host, and the communication was superb. Overall, this house in conjunction with Michael as the owner ranks in my top 3 mountain homes of all time; and I have been renting from VRBO for over 15 years. Thanks again Michael for your hospitality.

Beautiful, clean, modern, spacious

Wonderful stay for the five of us. Everything worked well. A new, modern home where everything is organized to provide an enjoyable living environment. Nice open kitchen for those of us who love cooking. Beautiful wood floors, substantial gorgeous dining table. Fireplace is as easy as flipping a switch, hot tub is an excellent design, fits 4 comfortably/5 or 6 squeezed in. Views are excellent. Even the garage is bright due to frosted glass doors. Furnishings are top end and new. This is truly staying in someone’s beautifully designed and furnished home, not a rental unit where the owner will never stay. Thank you for sharing it with us! No suggestions for improvement.

New Years Family Ski Vacation

My family stayed in this beautiful home over New Year's week and it definitely exceeded all expectations! The house is extremely clean, fully renovated, and has a modern/luxurious (fully stocked) kitchen and bathrooms, and a very comfortable and cozy family room. Additionally, the large windows have fabulous views of the mountains! We also enjoyed the new hot tub and grill on the deck. The layout of the home is perfect, as the master bedroom is on the top floor, a guest bedroom is on the middle (main) floor, and there are 2 additional bedrooms on the bottom floor, which gave everyone plenty of space. The owner was extremely helpful and responsive in making sure we had everything we needed and provided several helpful hints and recommendations for restaurants, as well as ski school and ski rental logistics, that truly made the stay even more enjoyable. We were so comfortable in this home that we didn't want to leave! Thank you Michael and Trisha for sharing your home with us. We hope to come back again for another ski vacation or in the summer.

BEST RENTAL in VAIL!!!

Everything was PERFECT ! I rented the house for a father /son ski trip. There were 3 Dads and 6 boys ages 12-17 and the space was great! The house is FULLY renovated and absolutely IMMACULATE! Michael the owner went above and beyond before and during our stay. He offered to set up an air mattress to give the kids more space with sleeping arrangements. The house had everything we needed. The hot tub was the best one we have ever been in. The jets were really strong and massaging which was welcome after a long day on the slopes. Micheal the owner emailed us "local" tips for skiing, parking, rentals, restaurants etc. We want to rent this house again in the summer it was so AMAZING and then again next ski season. The house and Michael EXCEEDED our expectations ....which is hard ....we are really particular and never imagined EVERYTHING could be as awesome as it was. THANK YOU !

Perfection

This property is absolutely beautiful in a wonderful neighborhood. It is close enough to Vail village to take advantage of what the village has to offer yet removed enough to be peaceful. There is great hiking practically out the front door and a terrific park for the kids within walking distance. Michael made some fantastic suggestions including a most memorable rafting trip. We enjoyed evening soaks in the hot tub and dinner fresh off the grill on the lovely terrace. In short, this home is perfect.

About the host

Hosted by Michael Barney

Host profile image
Our property is owned by the Barney family who are long time Colorado residents and this is our second East Vail home over 20 years and enjoy sharing "local's" knowledge and suggestions with our guests. We have had many great memories from raising our two ski racing children in the beautiful Rocky Mountains. Vail is a special place for us and since we are active skiers, hikers, bikers and fly fishermen, it has become our four season sanctuary.

Why they chose this property

This property is very special to us and is the result of our dream to build a mountain modern home that has breath taking views unique to the high alpine setting of East Vail. our design goal was to create a warm and functional home that allows us to entertain family and friends.

What makes this property unique

We were hands on during the design and build process and love the clean lines and inviting spaces. The views are amazing from all rooms of the house and the kitchen and large dining room are a great match. One of our favorite parts of the home is after a full day of skiing storing our ski clothes in the European cubbies, putting our ski boots on the 8 pair commercial dryer and then heading to the hot tub that is located directly off the great room for some hydro therapy and relaxation.
