Spacious West Vail condo near shuttle w/ shared hot tub, washer/dryer

Walk to the free shuttle to the slopes from this two-bedroom, two-bath condo in West Vail. After a day skiing or hiking, you'll love the six-person shared hot tub on the wrap-around deck under the pines. You'll find this home, part of a triplex, up a short, sloping, heated driveway. Park in the east garage with a washer and dryer, on the left. A second car fits just outside the garage. Climb the wooden staircase to your right to the outside patio with a six-person shared hot tub, grill, and patio table with chairs, perfect for evening relaxation.

The condo's door, labeled “Mountain Side,” leads into a long kitchen with tile floors. There's a coat and a shoe rack for storing your summer or winter outdoor wear. The gleaming white appliances, including an electric stove with a glass stove-top, are updated and just right for preparing a full meal after a day of adventure. Just off the kitchen is a cozy bedroom with a queen bed, and the first-floor bathroom with a shower, convenient for a quick warm-up after the slopes.

As you walk further into the condo, you enter the dining and living rooms. The dark wooden dining table can seat six under exposed wooden beams and an elegant chandelier. A large L-shaped sectional sleeper sofa in the living room has room for everyone to relax. Watch your favorite Blu-ray movies on a 36-inch TV with cable. In summer, open the door to the deck for fresh evening air.

From a small set of carpeted stairs off the living room, you can access the second floor. The primary bedroom on the right has a king-size bed under a charming slanted A-frame ceiling. You've got your own TV with cable and an amazing view. The main landing has an extra twin futon mattress for an additional guest, plus plenty of closet space. You can store your luggage and feel right at home. The second-floor bathroom has a tub/shower combo with stunning blue tile and glass block for adding light but retaining privacy. Outside, a long wooden back deck wraps around the triplex, with some padded chairs just outside your living room door for a conversation in the pine-scented air.

The free Vail bus shuttle stops only a three-minute walk from the condo. With a free shuttle running every 15 minutes, you won't have to wait long to get to Cascade Lift, Lion's Head, or Vail Village. Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy the region's famed ski runs, while those who prefer the indoors can shop or go to a spa in Vail Village, which has both gourmet restaurants and casual eats. Closer to home, you're a quick walk from Gore Creek, which has great rapids for kayaking, a children's playground, fishing, and sledding.
