This was our first trip to Vail (or any ski destination in CO) and we weren't disappointed with our lodging. The property was very nice--spotless, tastefully decorated, and an unbeatable view. We appreciated the little touches like shampoos, soap, starter kits of kitchen supplies. fire wood, and humidifiers. The location was also perfect. A few steps to the bus stop (which takes you everywhere in Vail) or the Eagle Bahn gondola. Technically, this unit sleeps 6, but we had 4 adults and 2 toddlers and it felt a little cramped at times. I'd say it's better suited for 4.
If you travel to Vail with toddlers/pre-schoolers, be sure to check out the library when your kids get tired of the cold. Story time was wonderful (Cricket is great with kids) and they have lots of toys (train table, puzzles, blocks, cars, etc.). We ended up spending a lot of time there. From the door of this condo to the door of the library (via the bus) took less than 5 minutes. As a bonus, the library bus stop has an ice skating rink across the street. Our boys loved watching hockey practice whenever we waited for the bus. Of course, the buses came so frequently that we usually had to skip one or two so they could get their fill of hockey before we headed back.
One thing to note is this unit only has one parking space. We had to park a second car across the street in a public garage. We wouldn't have minded except the garage charges $25 every time you take your car out. That was annoying. The manager/owner of this unit did mention that they manage multiple units in the building and if others are not rented, we could use their space. Unfortunately, they were all rented, though. That's definitely something to look into, though.
All in all, a wonderful property that I wouldn't hesitate to rent again.
