*Please note, this home does have a 1-Bedroom apartment which is occupied by a long term tenant. The apartment has its own entrance, and there is no access between it and the rental property. The tenant is not a caretaker of the rental property but does perform certain tasks which might make your stay more comfortable, such as monitoring and treating the hot tub, and shoveling snow off the deck stairs. All guests of this home must demonstrate respect for the on site tenants of the apartment, and in particular, with respect to parking and noise.

The Property:
You will enjoy pulling into the heated driveway and then making yourself at home. You'll park in the 2 garage or immediately outside of it, then enter on the lower level. If you enter the home through the front door, you are on the main floor, or middle level. The main floor by the front door is where you will find the great room, with a breathtaking 20'+ stone fireplace, a sun-room with shuffleboard and a video game console with 412 games, and the formal dining area, all in one large space that is great for large groups. On the back yard side of the main level you will find the family room. This room features another fireplace and a large HDTV, as well as a secondary dining table and access to the back deck. In between the front and back of the home is the kitchen, which has been fully and thoughtfully equipped with everything you need. It is long and wide enough for an island that includes a beautiful gas range. The kitchen features cherry cabinetry, granite counters, tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and a breakfast bar. No detail has been overlooked, so you'll also find things like the crown molding on the cherry cabinets and ogee edges on the granite counters. The kitchen opens to the family room on the bar side, and the formal dining and great room on the other. This level also includes a hallway connecting the two living rooms, allowing flow back and forth without going through the kitchen. Off the hallway is a powder room and a special book nook / study space that kids will love.
The upper level includes what we have labeled bedrooms one, two, and three. Each of these bedrooms is a suite with its own dedicated bathroom! Bedroom 1 is very large and has vaulted ceilings, armchairs, and an HDTV on the dresser. It also has a desk, just in case you need to tend to emails while you're here in Vail. The bathroom suite includes dual sinks, a separate room for the toilet, a large bathtub, and a multi-headed steam shower. Bedroom 2 has vaulted ceilings as well, plus a King size bed, large HDTV, a bathroom, and French doors to a balcony overlooking the great room. The bathroom for this bedroom suite has a dual headed waterfall shower and large vanity. Bedroom 3 is another large space with vaulted ceilings and a private bathroom. It has a Queen bed plus a Twin bed, making it ideal for a couple, a couple plus a single, a couple with a child, or perhaps 2 to 3 children.
The lower level of the home includes the third living room plus bedrooms 4 and 5. The lower living room has a counter for doing puzzles, ample seating, and an HDTV. The sofa pulls out into a sleeper sofa for larger groups who need extra sleeping space. Bedroom 4 has a Queen bed and direct access to the 4th full bathroom. This bathroom also has access from the hallway, which allows the guests staying in bedroom 5, which has 2 Twin beds, to access the bathroom without going through bedroom 4. Also, that powder room is right up the stairs, which makes sharing easier for any guests on the lower level. From the lower living room, you'll have direct access to the garage and back yard. The hot tub is on this level and a small carport area makes a great place to keep your towels dry while you soak on snowy days or nights.
Location, Arrival, Access, and Parking:
This property is located in the exclusive and upscale Highland Meadows neighborhood of West Vail. From the home, you'll have a short drive of 3 to 5 minutes to the grocery store, shopping, and restaurants. Free parking and shuttle service to the slopes is available down the hill at Donovan Park. With mature aspen trees and evergreens around the home, this location feels private and beautiful while offering quick access to all that Vail has to offer. The arrival process is easy. Once you book, we're here to support you. We offer professional concierge services, provide you with your contactless check in instructions, and answers to any specific questions you might have. Accessing the property does not require any stairs from the garage or parking area and only 1 or 2 stairs are required to access the main level of the home. Many rental properties in Vail have no parking at all. At this property, you'll have parking that is private and free, but limited and with specific parking spaces. We ask all guests to limits themselves to 4 vehicles, and to park the first two in the garage, with any 3rd or 4th vehicles immediately outside of the garage. There is one additional parking space that is right at the beginning of the driveway, but please note that parking space is reserved exclusively for the tenants of the apartment. Having more than 4 vehicles would require parking cars in the driveway between the tenant parking and their front door. Parking on the road out front is allowed during some times of the year, but not in ski season, when snowplowing operations must take priority. There are multiple options for off site parking in the Vail area, so if you will have a 5th vehicle, please plan accordingly. Also, please note that trailers are not allowed at this property.

As such, all amenities can not be guaranteed to be available at all times. Please advise us when or before booking if you have questions about a specific property amenity so that we can give you the most accurate information possible for your dates.
** Air Conditioning - Most mountain resort properties were not built with air conditioning. During most hours of the day and weeks of the year, AC is not needed. Summer nights are cool and fans are provided at most properties. Check the average high and low temperatures and weather forecast for your dates of travel, and look at the list of amenities to see if AC or fans are part of the rental property and look for ceiling fans in photos.
** Group Sizes, High Occupancy Fees, & Maximum Occupancy - Some properties use a “High Occupancy Fee” to “raise the rate” for larger groups, and are thus able to list a lower nightly rate for smaller groups. Each rental agreement and associated rates are for a specific group size. Guests must enter the correct and maximum group size at the time of booking. The agreement requires a guest to confirm the group size and subsequently, to disclose any changes to the planned group size, which may result in an increase, or decrease, to the total cost, and may result in a security deposit becoming required.
** Video & Noise Monitoring - Please note that noise monitoring devices, and security cameras, do exist on the exterior of the property. Cameras are positioned to cover all entrances and exits of the home. Cameras are present to ensure the property remains secure and safe, as well as to ensure that guests are honest and upfront about their planned use of the property. If you plan to bring more people than you've indicated, more dogs than indicated, to host a party or event, or do not intend to respect neighbors or the value and quality of the property, then this is not the place for you, and you should not book the property. For normal, respectful groups, we are sorry that these statements and measures are necessary. Security cameras and noise monitoring devices are an example and demonstration that the property's owners are taking steps to ensure the home remains available for rental, and in good condition, for your benefit. Please let us know if you have any concerns.
** Cleaning Fees & Lengthy Rental Periods - The standard cleaning fee quoted as part of any booking is for the final cleaning, which is to be performed after the rental period has ended.

If you are booking for a lengthy stay, please contact us before booking online to discuss your group, your dates, the rates, the cleaning schedule, etc.
