A great location for access to Vail and feeling like you are a little outside town. The house is very well stocked, the beds a comfortable and the nature around the house is beautiful. There is a path behind the house that connects to another complex and takes your right to the foot bridge into Lionshead. My only complaint is lack of closet space for the master bedroom. The kitchen was very well stocked with all the pans and utensils needed to cook. There was also plenty of coffee which was wonderful. The downstairs tv room is great for movie watching. It was a little hot inside in the afternoons on the hotter days. Opening windows helped. The lower floors were cooler. Once the sun went down it cooled off quickly.
