Vail Creekside 1BR + 1 Loft BR w/ Mtn Views!--free shuttle to skiing

I appreciate the compliments, and I'm glad that you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for letting me know that the elevator was not mentioned. I added to the property description, "No elevator and stairs only."

We added to the loft photo "The loft is like a treehouse for kiddos. Low ceilings so adults shouldn't use." It's not dangerous for kids. The low ceilings and ladder is not suited for adults and could be viewed as dangerous if inebriated or uncoordinated.5 adults stayed and we advertise that the loft is perfect for kids. It is not as comfortable for adults . I don't recommend for older adults because of the lower ceiling and climbing up and down the ladder. Kids usually love it and watch TV and hang out. I'm staying this Easter weekend with my parents sleeping on the queen sized couch, my kids in the loft, and the the wife and me are in the master bedroom with the king. The place has a dining room table with 6 chairs and a set of 12 for dishware. Please decide if it's right for your group.

Thank you for your stay. We are glad that we could accommodate your request to stay 2 additional nights. We did a refresh of the decor with new lamps, IKEA couch, and a new flat screen in the master bedroom with the King size bed. We are still looking for a new coffee table, and we hope to find one soon.

We appreciate the comment, “the owner is very accommodating and wants you to have a great vacation.” We strive to ensure for each guest that we meet a high standard as mentioned in other reviews. My spouse and I reviewed the furniture and agreed the sleeper sofa and lamps needed replacement so we purchased a new sleeper sofa from IKEA and replaced 3 lamps. The listing has always stated on the “front page” in the second paragraph that “…the complex offers luxurious amenities for an optional daily fee.” It is listed two more times that adults are $30/day and children are $15/day to enjoy the Vail Racquet Club resort complex amenities. These amenities include a heated pool, two Jacuzzis, fitness center, tennis courts, pickleball court, a sauna, steam room, yoga classes, and pilates class. Please read all VRBO listings throughout; each owner has different house rules based on homeowner associations like this optional resort fee. All photos were taken in November 2016 and reflect what a guest would expect inside and outside of the condo with carpet and furniture both steam-cleaned semi-annually in addition to unobstructed views (new IKEA sleeper sofa not in photos yet). The square footage is listed in the description for our condo, and most other VRBO rentals advertise list square footage. For those reading the reviews, please take collectively all review comments when making your final choice for any of the VRBO listings.

It’s an awful experience when a previous guest smokes disregarding the house rules reiterated in the check-in and check-out instructions. Thankfully this guest reported it on day 1 allowing me to give the previous guest a poor review explaining that it’s related to smoking and not following the house rules. This should make it harder for that guest to secure another booking in the future from the next owner that can review my review. The owners do review other owner reviews of guests and can cancel the reservation citing the issue. Note also that the guest after this one on July 17th provided a 5 star review and did not mention the smoke odor or outdated features. In other words, this guest took the cleaning supplies offered from the owner closet, which I usually don’t provide access to, and successfully rid of the smoke. I am thankful to this guest for doing so. Also, the décor is rustic with a modern granite-based kitchen and well-presented in the photos with most guests pleased by it. We enjoy this rustic wooden style when on vacation ourselves. It does not suit all guests preferring a modern look. The carpet is steam cleaned twice annually. Again, thank you to this guest for ridding of the smell with the offered cleaners in the closet and allowing the next guest to provide the more common 5 star review. I rarely give poor reviews when staying, but smoke would have me report it for a first time also. Unfortunately, it’s dependent on the previous guest.

Thank you for the nice review. I mentioned to the cleaners that the loft was not vacuumed, and this should not recur.
