Wonderful structure! Wonderful location 1 block from downtown Vail! Living room and kitchen were well-furnished and very comfy. Bedrooms, bathrooms, and rec room were adequate but in desperate need of remodeling. These parts of the house were clearly built in the 1970's and not upgraded since. Patio furniture should be thrown away and replaced immediately. Parking in front of the house was worrisome, being on a narrow street w. two "No Parking" signs which we successfully ignored. Note to elderly and invalid guests: Access to house is via two dozen stairsteps. Key box access to the house didn't work. Fortunately, maids were still there when we arrived at 5 PM. Despite all these relatively minor concerns, we had a wonderful time staying at the Ark in Vail.

If you're looking for lots of glass, granite and stainless steel, this isn't your property. If you're looking for a legendary Vail ski-in ski-out property, this is your property. If these walls could talk. Comfortable, clean, roomy and convenient. It's all of these.

The house was so spacious and arranged so well -plenty of space for the family gathering time and plenty of room to escape to your own place when not together. The location could not have been more perfect. The view was fabulous.The laundry facilities were appreciated too. Drawbacks were things in need of repair- non-working second microwave in kitchen taking up needed counter space, broken hand mixer not working and deck furniture in bad repair. Some of the throw pillows were stained or dirty and the kitchen cupboards really need updating. Also it would have been good to know from the beginning the parking arrangements - on street parking- before we arrived.
