MODERN CONDO WITH MAJOR RENOVATIONS AND UPDATES
We purchased this condo in Nov. 2021 and added a washer and dryer, beds from Restoration Hardware, as well as new mattresses, pillows and bedding. A good night’s sleep is important! We also updated the condo with new smart TVs in the family room and bedrooms, a Sonos sound bar to bring you theater-like sound to movies and TV, a Marshall bluetooth speaker to play your music, and lots of new kitchen housewares and appliances. New area rugs and family room furniture were added in July 2022. And we added several new games and puzzles for your enjoyment. The previous owners remodeled the kitchen and flooring, with beautiful cabinets, hardwood floors, and granite countertops.
FREE PARKING, TRANSPORTATION & SKI LOCKERS
The condo is located next to the Lionshead parking structure and Dobson Ice Arena. There is free parking for one vehicle per reservation. Several of the parking spaces are covered, and there is ample parking for any sized vehicle. A second car can be parked in the Lionshead garage for a fee. Walk to the villages, or ride Vail's free town shuttle bus that runs continuously in a loop between Lionshead, Vail Village and Golden Peak. The Lionshead stop is right by the condo. If you want to explore other nearby ski areas, Beaver Creek is just 20 min. from Vail, and during ski season, the Vail-Beaver Creek Express has service between Vail, Avon, and Beaver Creek

FAMILY ROOM, DINING ROOM & WELL-EQUIPPED KITCHEN
In 2021, the entire unit was repainted, updating it with a fresh, modern look. As a third-floor unit with lots of large windows and sliding glass doors, the condo and is bright and open. The family room has all new furniture (Summer 2022), a gas fireplace and a new 50” LG Smart TV. Watch Xfinity or connect to Netflix or other apps to watch your favorite movies and shows.
The kitchen features remodeled cabinets, granite countertops and appliances. It is well-equipped, with pots, pans, a crockpot, cutlery and spices, and everything you might need to cook meals.

The second bedroom has three comfortable beds purchased from Restoration Hardware in 2021: two queen beds and one loft twin bed, as well as a large closet with custom shelving. The twin loft bed over the queen is a separate structure from the queen bed below it, so you will not feel movement from the top or bottom bed.

We live in Colorado, the best place on Earth, and we own this condo as well as a townhome in Breckenridge, both of which are second homes that we use as well as rent. We have skied, biked and hiked with (and without) our kids at both Vail resorts for many years, so we know the towns well. Taking care of our guests and our condos is a full-time job and has been since 2010, because it's one that we love. Expect that we will immediately respond and resolve any issues, and we welcome any ideas you have to improve your stay.
YEAR-ROUND ADVENTURES: SO MUCH TO EXPLORE!
Winter: Vail offers more than world-class skiing. Enjoy scenic gondola rides, snow tubing, outdoor ice skating in the village, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, and backcountry and cross-country skiing.
Fall: Visit Vail for the stunning views of the golden Aspen trees. Bike down the mountain through the glades of glorious aspens, or hike and take in the views. Visit Vail's two Oktoberfest celebrations in September.
Summer: Just out the door is the Gore Valley trail, a paved walking/biking path which runs along Gore Creek. Bike 2 - 3 minutes to the gondola in Lionshead, where you can haul your bike up and fly down the mountain. For road bikers, there are miles and miles of recreational paved trails. Other nearby summer activities include miles of hiking trails, fishing, whitewater rafting, lakes with SUP, ATVs, horseback riding, and zipline adventures.
We own a second condo in Breckenridge, which we also rent out. If you are considering Breck, check out our other VRBO website, www.vrbo.com/500182.
