About this property

Iconic Western Luxury Retreat, Cinema, HotTub, Firepit, BBQ & Village Parking!

Nestled on an acre of private mountain wilderness along the banks of Gore Creek in East Vail, Highcliffe Lodge is a breathtaking 5,000-square-foot luxury log estate. Combining the raw, commanding spirit of a classic Western homestead with the refined sophistication of a Ralph Lauren designer showroom, this premier property offers an unparalleled mountain escape just five minutes from the world-class slopes of Vail Village.

Handcrafted Grandeur Architectural Marvel: Towering 35-foot gabled ceilings are anchored by massive, hand-peeled logs and expansive floor-to-ceiling windows framing the jagged peaks of the Gore Range.

Curated Interiors: Living spaces feature exquisite Western-European antique furnishings, authentic Navajo textiles, and fine art that establish a rich, character-filled ambiance.

Gourmet Living: A chef’s dream kitchen features commercial-grade appliances and seamlessly feeds into an intimate dining area ideal for hosting aprés-ski feasts.

Themed Suites: The estate accommodates up to 12 guests across 5 uniquely curated bedrooms, each with 4K flat screen TVs, plush bedding and towels, and premium Molton Brown amenities to ensure peak relaxation.

World-Class Entertainment & Leisure Private Cinema: A state-of-the-art home theater boasts an 11.1 Dolby Atmos surround sound system and a brilliant 4K digital display.

Heated Game Room: A fully insulated entertainment hub equipped with a full-size billiards table, ping pong, and foosball keeps guests entertained all evening.

Outdoor Sanctuary: Stone-carved mountainside paths weave through perennial gardens, leading to a private outdoor hot tub, a tranquil waterfall feature, and a roaring stone fire pit under the Colorado stars.

Exclusive Village Access: Ski logistics are entirely stress-free. Every booking includes a complimentary, reserved parking spot at the ultra-premium Solaris Parking Garage in the heart of Vail Village, allowing you to bypass public transit and park directly steps from the Gondola.

Designed for family gatherings, ski vacations, celebrations, or peaceful retreats, the property balances privacy with inviting shared spaces for movie nights, board games, and fireside relaxation.

Guests enjoy curated gardens, waterfalls, patios, hiking access, and nearby outdoor activities including rafting, fishing, biking, and skiing. Winter amenities include ski boot warmers, ski storage, and partnership access to slope-side equipment storage near Gondola One.

We had the most fantastic stay! With little snow, it was so incredible to have this house with all the amenities, space, hot tub, game “garage” and most importantly, the movie room for March Madness. Adam was so attentive to all our questions, and so gracious. We absolutely loved our stay, and that is saying a lot being in Vail with very little snow. Easy drive to Vail village and the bus stop was extremely navigable. Highly recommend!!! Stunning property…

Thanksgiving family wedding trip

Highcliffe Lodge is a very beautifully decorated, handsome, charming, cozy and well built home full of personal details that address your every need. With lots of fun rooms for entertainment including a theatre and games, you won’t want to leave home except for skiing and shopping in Vail which is very close by. We had a two foot snow storm sweep through on our visit and the trip became magical. We had seven people in our group and fit very comfortably. You will feel very grateful for your stay and sorry to be saying goodbye as you pull away at the end of your stay.

Vail Adventure

Highcliffe Lodge is a luxurious home base from which to explore the splendors of Colorado! The lodge had spectacular views, a secluded feel, and access to a wide variety of activities, from hiking trails for all levels to zip line and rafting adventures, all of which we took advantage of. For less active days, nearby Vail Village and Frisco offered great restaurants and shopping. The lodge also was well appointed with games and a theater and lots of outdoor space to relax. We had a great family trip thanks to our gracious host and his AMAZING home! We would love to visit again in winter.

Annual Ski Trip - 2024

Everything about our stay was absolutely incredible. The property is even more beautiful than the photos online appear, the location is outstanding (less than 5 minutes from the village), Adam is the best host I have ever booked with, and he even has a parking pass for a garage right in the middle of the village! Everything was pristine when we arrived and this was hands down the best trip we have done to date (8 years and counting). I could not recommend this property and Adam highly enough! Thank you for everything, Adam!

Luxury Mountain House in Vail

The house was a perfect compliment to our vacation. It is a beautiful upscale mountain home that really sets the tone for a luxury ski vacation. The location is very close to Vail village and also the perfect location to allow us to ski Vail, Beaver Creek and Breckenridge due to the close proximity to all three mountains. Adam the owner was extremely hospitable and available if we needed anything. The house has all the luxury accommodations including a movie theater, garage game room, large hot tub, chefs kitchen and more. We loved the mattress so much in the main floor master bedroom that we ordered one for our home. Can’t recommend this property enough. We will most definitely be back.

Coolest Log Cabin Ever!

My husband, our three young kids and our best friends and their three young kids had the trip of a lifetime while staying in this epic log cabin! The home is meticulously and perfectly designed in every single room. Plenty of room for multiple families to be together or space out if needed. Whether you want to cozy up by the fire and stare out the window at the snow, or gather in the kitchen to cook a meal together, watch a movie in the one of a kind movie theater, play pool or ping pong in the heated garage, or freshen up in one of the many great bathrooms this home has you covered. Adam is the absolute best host we’ve ever worked with and keeps the home in perfect shape for every single guest. We all can’t wait to return and stay in this home again Next year.

Fantastic lodge, perfect stay

We have had an amazing time in this house, we spent our vacation holiday in Vail and was fantastic. We love the lodge, everything in it is great. We hope to be back soon…… We are a family of 10 people, and the lodge works perfect for my group, the jacuzzi, the home theater, the steam bath, the bar and of course the rooms and common areas was incredible. Great value to have a card to use as much as you want at the Solaris parking in Vail Village, just 4 minutes from the house by car, if you are thinking to rent this lodge, do it now you can not loose this property. On the other hand, the communication with Adam was impressive, he was always on line. With no doubt you must go to the Highcliiff Lodge.

High expectations? Highcliffe for the win!

Adam, thank you for sharing your slice of heaven with my family. Your home is beautiful and well appointed…from the gorgeous furnishings to the western themed dinner plates. No detail has been overlooked. My granddaughter especially loved watching movies in the cozy theater room complete with a leather chair just her size. The yard and outdoor space is truly stunning. We looked forward to morning coffee on the porch, and even better, wine at sunset on the patio. I will always cherish the memories made with my family this summer at Highcliffe. I hope to make a few more this winter!
