2 Br Private Vacation Home Vacation Rental In Vail, Colorado

No matter the season, this quiet, secluded location with trees, mountain views, and the sound of Gore Creek, located only 20 feet off the back deck, will fill the bill for your next vacation. You can ski any of the 11 Colorado resorts (Vail, Beaver Creek, Copper Mt., Breckenridge, Keystone, Arapahoe Basin, Steamboat Springs, Aspen's three mountains, and Ski Cooper) and still drive home for the night to a cozy fire and comfortable king-size beds.

The Ptarmigan complex has 38 townhomes, some of which are lived in by full-time residents. The covered bus stop for the free Town of Vail shuttle is only a two-minute level walk from the front door. (The pool house hot tub is even closer!) A three-minute ride gets you to the Cascade Ski Lift (a quick and easy place to start and/or end your ski day); ride a little longer and get off at Lionshead or the Vail Transportation Center and Vail Village itself, offering all of the shopping, eating, and fun places that only Vail can offer.

However, if you choose to stay in, you will also be content. Upon entering, you will know immediately that this is a premium unit. Being an end unit means that most days, natural sunlight fills this home. From the first view of the antler chandelier to the custom made natural wood bedroom furniture, you experience a 'mountain home' feeling. Great care has gone into choices such as furniture, artwork, and window coverings. A modern kitchen, replete with all of the cooking and serving items you should need, opens onto a dining area furnished with a dining table that seats six. The wood-burning fireplace is a centerpiece for a spacious and comfortable living area. There is plenty of seating space, but two comfortable leather recliner/rockers will quickly become favorites while reading, watching television on a big-screen high-def television, or just watching Gore Creek flow by off the back deck. In the summer, enjoy the large deck in comfortable deck furniture and cook meals outside on a convenient gas grill (grill relocated to home's front sunny, covered area during winter). Just inside the front door is the large utility room with full-size washer and dryer, ski rack and cubbies for your ski gear. A powder room completes the downstairs. Go upstairs and find yourself in a lovely sitting/television area that can transform into a third sleeping area if needed. The day bed, constructed specifically for this room, can, with the trundle, either make out to a queen size bed or two twins. An antique armoire in this room makes a great place to unpack your bags. In the back bedroom, you will immediately be drawn to the view from a wall of windows overlooking Gore Creek; crack one of the casement windows open to hear the stream running all night long. This is an especially large bedroom as it has been remodeled to include the former balcony deck space that was once there. The front bedroom has the advantage of being 'ensuite,' with its own private full bathroom. There are two full bathrooms upstairs, with excellent large soaking tubs and modern shower heads. Bars have been installed in the tubs to aid in getting in and out if needed. All three sleeping areas have their own flat-screen TVs; the center area also has a VCR/DVD player.

The Ptarmigan complex's location within Vail is something mentioned by many guests. Vail's primary necessities shopping area is less than a half mile away; a two-minute drive, five-minute bycycle or 10-minute walk from the unit. It includes two large grocery stores (Safeway and City Market), liquor stores, dry cleaner, fast food and much more. The unit is a three-minute level walk from the Gore Valley Recreation Trail, a fun path where walkers, runners and bikers can enjoy a jaunt into Vail along beautiful Gore Creek or perhaps a ride all the way to Avon or Breckenridge. The summer outdoor pool and year-round enclosed hot tub are a one-minute level walk across the parking lot from the front door.

Rates are lower for this unit due to owner management. Owner management is visible throughout the home in a personalized, cozy environment, rather than a sterile cookie-cutter appearance. Signature furniture pieces, personal artwork, and luxurious bathrooms all point to ownership who also enjoy their visits here!
Please, no smoking indoors and no pets.
