5 DAY MINIMUM STAY may be required.

We purchased our private penthouse condominium in the Lionshead section of Vail, Colorado after going there to ski for years. We love the place and think you will really enjoy it as well.

Our condo is approximately 1800 square feet, with 3 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, a fully-equipped kitchen, including a Mixmaster, other cooking and barbecue utensils spacious great room and 800 feet of balcony. It is located at Vail Spa which is about a 4-5 minute walk to the Lionshead Gondola. It is located across from the Vail Marriott/Hythe Resort and the Ritz Carlton. The local bus stops right accross the street at the Hythe.

The living room has a flat screen TV with Alexa and surround sound. Each bedroom has a flat screen TV . A Trane central A/C unit was installed in 2013. We added a nice barbeque on the deck, and there is a great gas fireplace and fire pit on deck.

The master bedroom has a private bath and king size bed. One guest room has a queen size bed. The full bathroom for that room is next door in the hallway. The third bedroom has a bunk bed (queen size on bottom and twin on top) with a private bath. Every room opens onto a balcony. Since it is the penthouse, with only one other apartment on the floor, it has a very private feel.

The kitchen is fully stocked for Cooking including a Mixmaster.

The Vail Spa condo is a great facility.and in 2016 had a $10 Million renovation. The staff is very helpful and there is daily housekeeping. There are two pools and two hot tubs (one set indoor and one outdoor). They have a decent workout room, with a treadmill and some weight training equipment and a sauna. The men's and ladies locker rooms are stocked with towels. For a perfect day, work out in the fitness room, relax in the indoor and outdoor pools and Jacuzzis, steam rooms and sauna, have the hotel staff arrange a relaxing massage in one of the massage rooms, then warm yourself around the outdoor fire pit while sipping a complimentary cup of coffee, tea, cider or hot cocoa next to the cozy lobby fireplace. For even more pampering, we recommend the Marriott/Hythe or Ritz Carlton across the street. They each have ski rentals and the Marriott has a dining room open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and a great lobby bar for after ski drinks and late night meals or snacks.

Other Vail Spa amenities include: complimentary wireless Internet throughout the building; guest computers with printer and Internet access in the lobby; complimentary on-site covered parking; daily shuttle trips to the grocery store; and secure ski storage. The front desk staff is available 24 hours a day and full concierge service is available.

Amazing stay in Vail’s Lionshead Village
This was an amazing VRBO just a short walk away from the Lionshead Gondola and town square. It had 3 well appointed bedrooms, an incredibly comfortable living room, and great appliances in the bathroom and kitchen. It was incredibly spacious for our 5 guests, even without having the patios / balconies that had a few feet of snow on them (all the better for skiing!). We made frequent use of all the building amenities, in particular the pool / hot tub and the hot chocolate in the lobby, as well as in convenient on-site parking and a communal ski locker. Plus, the owner is incredibly conscientious, kind and responsive. You can’t go wrong with this one, even at Vail prices.

3 BR penthouse
This is the largest penthouse unit in this condo and very conveniently located but not in a congested area; bus stop is right across the street for access to vail. Walk to lionshead central if you want. VERY well equipped unit with all the accoutrements of home including loaded pantry, coffee makers, utensils, glasses,dishes, etc. Every room has large window viewing the mountain. Enormous deck with BBQ and fire pit (which we didnt use), full facilities including 2 hot tubs, 2 pools (in and out), gym, spa, etc. The audio visual system is wired through the entire unit and is top of the line (you can stay home and enjoy it but that would be a waste).Bedding, pillows, towels, bathrooms, robes, etc. very comfortable. Blackout shades if you want to sleep in (again a waste). If you have kids they will fight for the bunk bed room (even my 30 somethings did).

Great Place to Stay in Vail
From the moment we arrived at our condo in Vail/Lionshead, we knew we were in for an exceptional stay. The location itself is unbeatable - nestled right at the base of Vail Mountain with the gondola just steps away. The views from our balcony/top of the building were awesome; we awoke each morning to the sight of snow-capped peaks and the vibrant buzz of the village below. The condo was immaculate and exuded mountain elegance. The attention to detail was evident, from the high-end finishes in the kitchen and bathrooms to the cozy fireplace that became the centerpiece of our evening relaxation. The bedrooms were spacious and inviting, with sumptuous bedding that ensured a restful night's sleep after a day of mountain adventures. What made our stay particularly memorable was the array of amenities the building offered. The spa with a steam room, sauna, heated outdoor pool and hot tub were a sanctuary of warmth amidst the cool alpine air, and the provided plush robes made our dips even more luxurious. The fitness center was well-equipped, and the on-site spa services were greatly appreciated. The staff at the condo was remarkable, offering warm hospitality and ensuring all of our needs were met every day when we walked through the lobby. The convenience of the covered parking and the ability to drop our skis at Charter Sports near the base of the mountain added to the seamless experience of our stay. Great place that will not disappoint!

unforgettable ski trip
The penthouse condo was spacious and clean. Easy walk to Eagle Bahn gondola and ski school for the wife and 4 year old. Two hot tubs and pools which were frequently utilized by our older kids. City bus stop is right outside the door. No car needed. Condo had nice extras such as paper towels, laundry soap, well stocked pantry (popcorn, spices, etc.). Plenty of coffee. Take one/leave one liquor cabinet. Very comfortable beds. The owner has had the property for many years and clearly cares about the property. He was incredibly easy to work with and helpful. The entire experience definitely surpassed our expectations

Vail Spring 2023
This was the best condo in which we haver stayed in Vail over the past 25 years. It is better than the photos. There is a beautiful great room with a fireplace with windows that look out to the mountains. There are several balconies. The stone and wood floors are so pretty. The decor is perfect with lots of special artwork that add to the mountain home feeling. The bedrooms are good sizes with windows that look out to the slopes. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking/eating in, although we ate a some amazing restaurants this year. Bus stop to Vail village is right outside the door. Quick walk to the chairlifts. Also, free ski storage at Charter Sports right across from the Arabelle on the way to chairlift.. Indoor pool and hot tub were great for when it was snowing. Outdoor pool and hot tub were great too. Overall, this is a cozy convenient place to stay in Lionshead Vail.

Fabulous Condo, Fabulous Time
In so so many ways we loved our stay here with daughter, son in law and grandchildren—4 and 6. The condo is spacious, furnished with gorgeous wood furniture, great views, barbecue on deck and a communal closet filled with spices and other goodies left behind by renters. We cooked every night, saving a lot of $. The kids loved the swimming pool, and distance to Eagle Nest lifts is just a few minutes walk. The very responsive owner recommended renting skis from Vail Tech, far cheaper than other places even with Epic pass discount. A perfect and memorable 6 days for us. Thanks!!

Loved it
Family of 6 - kids are 15/13/10 and 8. We ski at different places each year and tend to rent when we do. This has been our favorite spot. Plenty of room to spread out, comfortable beds, kids all-time favorite couch, and terrific location. We rented from Charter sports around the corner and left our skis there each night. No more than 2-3 blocks to the lift. Easy walk to the grocery, shops, restaurants or right across the street from the in town bus if headed farther away. A lot of nicer VRBO/Airbnb spots are made to feel like a hotel room - sterile and poorly stocked. This feels like your family’s ski house - well kept, has character and very well stocked. We had a great time and hope to come back at some point. Thanks to Barry for making the arrangements easy and straightforward.

Amazing Experience
We love the Lionshead area in Vail and this property is beautifully situated across from the bus stop if needed but is a short walk to anywhere in Lionshead. The pictures are accurate and the place is very comfortable and has everything you need to make coffee, cook or just relax. The TV in the living room is really big and super clear; so perfect for watching college football as we did. The unit has lots of windows, providing beautiful views in all directions. Two things I am particular about are showers and beds, and both were great in this unit. The balcony/patio area is very big with spacious views and a very nice BBQ grill and fire pit. Most definitely a place you should consider for a trip to Vail, and the communication with the owner was easy and seamless. Five stars from us!
