This home looks pretty wonderful when you view the listing but what isn't made clear is that the home has 3 levels with bedrooms on each level and the kitchen / living area is on the second level down. So you enter on the top floor, which has 2 bedrooms and a living area with a pool table. The rest of the house is below you, so you descend a large winding staircase to find the next level which contains the kitchen, dining and living area as well as access to the deck and grill area, a bedroom with several bunk beds, a powder room with a large shower as well as a media room that is accessed through the bedroom with the bunk beds. This level is the where you will spend most of your time but is also the most difficult to negotiate. The living area is several steps down from the walkway to the kitchen and the access to the deck is via a landing that is 4 to 5 inches below the kitchen. Confused? I personally tripped over this short step 4 times during our stay and may need surgery to repair a torn bicep that occurred when I caught myself as I was falling on the second trip. This is why I named this home "Goat House". The master bedroom is located down another large winding stairway that descends to the lower level where the master as well as two more bedrooms (one ensuite and one with a hall bath) are found. So if you are staying in the master bedroom you need to ascend two long flights of stairs to exit the home to get to your car. Getting luggage down there was strenuous.

Very much enjoyed our stay and the home had everything we could possibly need. Excellent and responsive support from the team made things easy and 6-8" of snow a day sure helped a lot as well (make sure you request that before you go).

This property is a beautiful and clean home situated about a 5 min drive from Lionshead village in Vail. Check-in Instructions were sent prior to our arrival, which I admittedly had not read ahead of time. After landing and picking up our rental car, we pulled up to the house at 2:30pm. The “caretaker” who lives on the property met us outside and began a rude and hostile exchange with us because we came 1.5 hrs prior to check-in. In fact, his demeanor and behavior were completely unprofessional and unbecoming of someone who is in the “hospitality” business. Not to mention, the exchange with my husband took place in front of four children. I would not recommend staying at this VRBO. Again, the home was beautiful, but the caretaker needs a lesson or two in hospitality! Illiana

We were in Vail for a wedding and the property was as advertised - great trip!

We take a family vacation every year (15 people) to different locations and we totally loved this beautiful home in Vail. It is even more spectacular than the pictures show. There are 3 floors with a lovely circular staircase connecting each floor. The floor to ceiling windows from the main floor to the second floor provide a stunning view of the the majestic evergreens and the rushing waters of Gore Creek. The main floor living/kitchen area is gorgeous, spacious and comfortable (two dishwashers - which we really loved!). The stone deck across the front of the house with a large grill area and two large tables made for great meals and family time outside. Always with the sound of the creek in the background (and who can get tired of that!). The bunk bed room on this floor also has a double bed and is right next to the movie room - a kid's paradise! The upper floor (which looks out over the main level and has a view of the creek as well) has a pool table, living area and two bedrooms with a bath. The lower level has 3 bedrooms - a huge master bedroom that walks out to the stone deck, along with two other bedrooms. And, I also have to say that all of the bathrooms are very well-appointed with HUGE showers. There is a nice grassy area for games and for kids to run around and the hot tub was well-used after polar plunges into the creek! We have been doing this for 15 years and this is one of our favorite homes, without a doubt. I would highly, highly recommend this home for your stay in Vail.

Great house in West Vail. Close to bus route to Lionshead. Huge house, with 6 rooms with plenty of beds…. Can easily accommodate 16 people. Beautiful view, amazing house features including a super big a fully equipped kitchen, pool table, and more. House was super clean. Will definitely stay there in the future.

Great house and plenty of room for the kiddos to play! 3D walk through of house is very representative of amenities. Perfect fit and layout for our families. Adam and on-site caretakers were very nice and responsive to any issues/requests. Would definitely rent again in the future.

Beautiful family getaway , the house was very well equipped and the creek area was very well taken care of
