We loved this place. Its cozy, elegant, really clean and beautiful. The kitchen is very spacious with everything you may need. The staff is very friendly. Before skiing they offer you cliff bars, hot chocolate, pastries, coffee and tea. Defenitly we are returning next time we visit Vail.

Well appointed condo. Very clean, close to dining/shopping, and pretty close to the base. Would definitely stay there again. Having a washer and dryer was great! Covid restrictions in Vail ski resort were awful tho. Very few places to eat, no music, no heated gondolas, RUDE resort and restaurant workers even on Christmas Day...how are u in a bad mood on Christmas?? It’s like they didn’t want you to have fun!! We have always loved Vail, but we won’t be back!

Great place, not sure worth the price
No housekeeping for short stays, initially a concern, adequate supplies for a few days. Anthony Szuminski was a great asset to the property, very professional and helpful.
