Not enough can be said about what a wonderful stay we had at this chalet in Vail. The home is warmly cozy and perfectly functional for our family of 8, although the beds can accommodate 10. The public areas are comfortably appointed with adaptable conversational circles. Windows provide lovely views of the gorgeous scenery. The kitchen is generously stocked with both equipment & staples, & Heather, our exceptional host, went beyond the call of duty to provide what we needed. The bedrooms are wonderfully laid out so that couples have privacy & kids have enough--not too much--independance in a loft. The separate suite is perfect for working members of our group, providing enough distance as needed, yet closeness to our family reunion. Bathrooms are sufficient for a group of our size & would be for 10 people. The Jacuzzi is a treat. There is a complete in-house laundry. A great deck offers a grill to complete this pleasant home-away-from-home, and sufficient private parking for up to 4 vehicles. The slopes are within easy walking distance, truly a blessing considering the limited & expensive public parking. Despite the warm weather, the slopes were still functional & allowed our newer skiers all to improve their skills. The greatest of all is Heather, our host. She is warmly welcoming, always cheerfully responsive and flexible. We are truly gratefully to her for her generous support and for providing this wonderful space for our enjoyment. I hope we can return soon.

I have nothing but great things to say about Heather and the Chalet! This is the 4th summer that I've stayed at the Chalet with my wife and 4 kids, and I'm looking forward to coming back again next year. The highest praise I can give Heather and the warmth of her home is that staying here has become a core memory for our young family, and an annual tradition. There are a lot mountain homes you can rent, but you will not find one with as gracious of a host as Heather, as good of a location, or as much of warmth and love permeating the walls! After 4 reviews I have little left to say, that I haven't said in previously, but as always 5/5 stars! You won't regret staying here!

Can’t beat this location!

This is a wonderful property that we enjoyed as two families. We love coming to Vail and this place made it even more enjoyable. A short walk to the end of the cul-de-sac and you’re on the slopes. It’s an older place but cozy and comfortable with everything you need. Nothing like a hard day skiing, then coming home to a warm fire and some board games with friends! Only thing missing was a big hot tub on the deck! We will definitely hope this place is available next time we are in Vail.

Best Rental in Vail!

My wife and I and our 4 young kids have rented the Chalet for over 70 days over the last three years. It's become somewhat of a family tradition. There is a reason we keep coming back!! I'm having a hard time finding more great things to say about our stay that I haven't previously said, but honestly if you are thinking of coming to Vail don't lose your opportunity to stay here. Can't beat the location as it's walkable to both Lionshead and Vail village. Easy access to the mountain and gondola. Beautiful yard to hang out in in the summer. Very private. Ample Parking. Very Clean. The host, Heather, is easily accessible by text, phone or email and is absolutely top notch. Looking forward to staying again soon! Don't miss out!

value for the location and number of beds

This property has a very convenient location and is undoubtedly an amazing value during ski season. The owner's daughter acts as a manager. We stayed for nearly 3 weeks and there are a few items that, for us, were disappointing. The house is a duplex than, the efficiency that "adjoins" the property is the basement that has been built out. The upstairs bedroom is the attic. You will be asked not to venture toward the river as the owner lives in the dwelling between you and the river. Consequently, there is not really a river view and you cannot hear the river due to the steep bank and the formidable structure between you and it. Also, the "water feature" does not work - the signage around the house asking you to not allow kids to play in the water feature alludes to this being an issue for some time. Unfortunately, stagnant pools of water, even in Colorado, attract mosquitos and bugs. The water feature and trees are your only real view from the back deck, so looking at stagnant water was disappointing. Finally, the linens and bedding were of medium to poor quality. The "comforters" were as seemingly old as the house. The mattresses were cheap when they were new - many, many years ago. The mattress covers have been washed so many times they are falling apart. Apparently "Chalet style bedding" means old and falling apart in Swiss. I bought a mattress pad, new mattress cover, and sheets for the basement where my wife and I slept. The proximity to all Vail has offer is amazing.
