I've been coming here with my family for years, and it never disappoints! The condo is a wonderful getaway year-round. In fall, it is nestled right among the changing aspen trees; we enjoy leaf peeping outside on a walk or inside from the many windows. In winter, it is the perfect setting for a ski vacation or a family holiday; the space lends itself to cooking, dining, entertaining, and relaxing, and it is even outfitted with its own Christmas tree. In spring and summer, we soak in the quiet of the off-seasons and the crisp mountain air from the large deck, and we explore the many hiking trails in the area. One of the things we love most about the rental is that it is well-suited for gathering while still providing ample space and privacy. We spend time together on the main level, with plenty of comfortable seating centered around a cozy fireplace and an open floor plan between the kitchen, dining area, and living room. When we want to retreat to our own quarters, the multiple bedrooms and bathrooms, well-spaced and roomy, offer an oasis for each of us. My favorite bedroom lets me wake up to mountain views; there is also a large master suite, an additional bedroom, and a lower level bunkroom. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful, with easy access to both Vail Village and Lionshead. One of the stops on the free bus route is just a walk away (short, easy, and downhill on the way from the rental to the stop, and doable but uphill on the way from the stop to the rental). Whether you're looking to cozy up indoors or explore Vail in any season, this is the perfect basecamp for your family's mountain escape.
