You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

REDUCED APRIL RATES: On Gore Creek, Free Bus, Wi-Fi, Hot Tub, Summer Pool

No matter the season, this quiet, secluded location with trees, mountain views, and the sound of Gore Creek, located only 20 feet off the back deck, will fit the bill for your next vacation. You can ski any of eleven Colorado resorts (Vail, Beaver Creek, Copper, Breckenridge, Keystone, A-Basin, Steamboat Springs, Aspen's three mountains, and Ski Cooper) and still drive home for the night to a cozy fire and comfortable king-size beds.

The Ptarmigan complex has 38 townhomes, many of which are lived in by permanent residents. The covered bus stop for the free Town of Vail Shuttle is only a two-minute level walk from the front door. A three-minute ride gets you to the Cascade ski lift; ride a little longer and get off at Lionshead or the Vail Transportation Center and Vail Village itself, offering numerous quality restaurants, night spots, and incomparable shopping.

If you choose, however, to stay in, you will also be content. This townhouse boasts a kitchen with granite counter tops, rustic cherry cabinetry, and new appliances. It is furnished down to the wine glasses! The glass-topped dining room table seats six, but there is also a second table in the sunken den which seats four. Turn the gas fireplace on to take the chill off of an early morning or to quickly warm up the home and mood after a day of outside activity. The spacious upstairs front bedroom and creek-side bedroom boast comfortable king-size beds and flat-screen TVs and the middle sleeping area has a queen-size bed with TV/VCR/DVD player. The unit has a ladder to the loft above the stairs. It has a queen mattress and desk lamp. Finally, the den couch is a sleeper sofa which adds to your sleeping options.

The Ptarmigan complex's location within Vail is something mentioned by many guests. Vail's primary necessities shopping area is less than a half mile away; a two-minute drive, five-minute bicycle or 10-minute walk from the unit. It includes two large grocery stores (Safeway and City Market), Christy Sports (very competitive ski rentals and sporting goods), liquor stores, dry cleaner, fast food and much more. The unit is a three-minute walk from the Gore Valley Recreation Trail, a fun path where walkers, runners, and bikers can enjoy a jaunt into Vail along beautiful Gore Creek or perhaps a ride all the way to Avon or Breckenridge. The summer outdoor pool and year-round enclosed hot tub are a one minute walk across the parking lot from the front door.

Rates are lower for this unit due to owner management. Owner management is visible throughout the unit in a friendly, cozy environment, rather than a sterile cut-out cookie. Art work, mirrors, and bathrooms with intricate tile work all point to ownership who also enjoy their visits here!

West Vail Condo

End of summer stay. Mid-week. Very quiet. Our goal was met with the river outside the back door, a very busy little gray squirrel darting about, and a fireplace to keep it cozy on the inside. Very nice location for a quick Fall get-a-way.

James was so easy to communicate with. The location was perfect for the cascade lift. First stop on red line and no wait at the lift. Second stop on the green line back. Kitchen had everything we needed. The room set up was so fun for the kids. Would love to stay here again.

Well kept and comfortable condo with Gore Creek in the back yard. The creek was rotating from snow melt and rain, and saw several kayakers and rafters go by. Enjoyed the hot tub after each of two 14er climbs. Highly recommend.

We enjoyed our stay at this Vail condo. It was a super short walk to the bus to Vail and the hot tub. The condo was very spacious with lots of room to spread out. We loved the huge laundry room right off the front door to store our skis. Also, James was great to work with.

Great stay in Vail

I had actually been to the exact unit 6 years before with my grandparents and cousins. I just remember having the best time. Enjoying the creek right in the back yard the younger ones enjoying the loft area. So fast forward 6 years I now have a daughter and I was fortunate enough to bring her out here to celebrate her birthday. We had a great time and just like her cousins before her she loved the loft area and having the creek just steps away. Just being a bus ride from anywhere and having the grocery store so close was nice. We had a great time and definitely want to come back

Great Place!

We truly enjoyed our 5 nights at Ptarmigan #15. The place is homey and quite comfortable - well stocked with everything we needed. And the fact that Gore Creek is only steps from the back patio is such a selling point. We loved watching and listening to the water from the living room with the sliding door open, from the patio, and while reading in chairs by the water. Beds were comfortable and bathrooms were very nice! We will stay here again for sure. Appreciated all the communication and details from the owner. We used the free shuttle bus several times, but it's also a lovely walk into Vail Village!

Very comfortable stay and great location to slopes!

We came here with the family for a fun ski getaway and had a great time. The location is so close to a quick shuttle ride to Vail which made it easy to get out on the runs. The place was clean and exactly what we were looking for. The owner's take very good care of it and were very responsive. They also were helpful with Vail knowledge since it was also our first time there. Thank you for a great stay!
