Cozy Alpine Studio w/ High-End Mattresses, Hot Tub & Full Kitchen

The sofa bed is not a quality mattress in any sense and is tiny. It’s not the one that is shown in the photos. Also, the amount of noise we heard constantly from the unit above ours was comically ridiculous. I’ve never in my life heard that much noise in a bottom unit - every single step and movement at all times of day and night. It sounded as if people were wrestling or playing soccer constantly. Other than these two things, it was a nice stay.

The home was well appointed with plenty of towels, appliances, etc. Parking was beyond tight. The electronic door lock was incredibly temperamental to the point of genuine frustration. Comfortable bed. TV was a little challenging to figure out. Serviceable but with some glitches.

Parking was a problem. Fridge was very loud. We were skiing or sleeping most of the time so were just looking for a place to crash. Very responsive to messages but parking was a problem.

Lets be honest, its hard to find something in Vail thats affordable, clean, and has parking where your not walking half a mile. This place is GREAT. We come up to ski or mtn. bike. multiple times a year are alway looking for a great place to stay. We don't need the Ritz but want it quiet, clean and easy access. This is a hidden gem thats a great place to crash and has a great hot tub!

A lot of the previous reviews for this property were either very positive or very negative, I was nervous. I wish it stated somewhere in the listing about the parking situation. No street parking, no full sized trucks allowed, and very little space to park on driveway since there’s 2 other rentals in the same house. They expect you to park all the way over to the left but there’s a couple bushes and frozen down snow from poor snow removal that made it difficult to park in the spot we had to park in. I wish there was a picture of the driveway on the listing because it would’ve cleared up a lot of confusion. Overall, this place wasn’t bad. It was definitely nothing extravagant but if you plan on being out most of your days in Vail, this is just the perfect place to rest your head at night. Could hear the neighbors above (mostly just footsteps) but it didn’t bother me. The setup of the space is kinda weird and the couch felt very cheap (different than pictured. Felt like a cheap ikea couch). We couldn’t get the DVD player to work, but there’s cable. There is a free public bus that runs very close to this rental which was super convenient!! We saved so much money on parking due to the bus. Overall, we had a good experience.

We enjoyed our stay. We didn’t realize that this was a basement unit, but that wasn’t a problem. There is a room with a decent kitchen, an enormous bathroom, and the main living/bed room. The place was comfortable and everything worked. The layout of the place is a little weird, although there is a ton of space (the bathroom is huge did I mention) it is not very functional, and is probably optimal for a single couple. The place was very clean overall, including the hot tub in the common area. The grill in the common area also works. We appreciated having the laundry in the garage Access to the bus stop is an easy short walk- although navigating the busses takes some time, and it’s important to plan ahead and choose the right bus. Parking at the place was easy for us, but if all three units have cars I can see it being very tight. The driveway is steep.

This is our first time doing VRBO and was really excited about trying something new. We got there and had a hard time figuring out the door. Then we get inside and it smelt horrible. It was so stinky and stuffy. It was clean at first sight, the bed is made and the floors are clean. But as I am going potty I can see stuff on the walls and sure enough it's black mold. It's also on the other side of the bathroom sink and on the floors coming up through the tile on the floors. We stay Thursday-Sunday morning. When we got home and unpacked our clothes smelt just like the place we left. My husband took his c-pap and he couldn't even use it when we got home because he was smelling the mold in his c-pap machine. I have never in my life stayed in a place that smelt so horrible. And the dishes were dirty, so I had to wash the dishes we used before we could use them. And they didn't leave us any toilet paper so we had to go out and buy more. They didn't have any wash clothes to wash my face with so I had to use a hand towel. I really want to use VRBO again next month as I am planning on going to Florida.

We will for sure be back. Great place, Owner was very proactive. Me and my wife had a great time and would recommend the place with 5 stars across the board.

From start to finish this was a horrible experience. Started off with the advertised parking spot being occupied without any available street parking. We had to park on a hill which due to snow conditions, our all wheel drive car got stuck which took an hour to dig out. The cabinets in the kitchen were broken and came to find out that the toilet was also not functional. Only way to flush was to remove the top to the tank and put my hand in the toilet water to manually flush. The worst part was that the upstairs neighbors through a massive party which included a DJ and what sounded like over 20 people screaming to the their music and stomping on the floor until after 3 am. If that wasn’t bad enough it truly felt like the ceiling was going to collapse at any moment leading to an incredibly sleepless night. Waking up to vomit along the driveway was the icing on the cake. When I called to complain, the owner basically put the fault on me and showed zero empathy. Vacasa is refunding the cleaning fee, which funny enough, was the only thing decent about our stay.

Location

The location was great! About 12 min bus ride to Vail Transportation Center, right in the heart of everything. HOWEVER.. The person staying in the studio upstairs could be easily heard all day and night. I could not get much sleep because I could hear them pounding on the floor above me with every step when they were walking around. I could not only hear all their loud footsteps, but I could hear doors and drawers slamming shut and someone sneezing. I could hear noise going on upstairs during my entire stay and was woken up every morning at 6am with all the noise from the upstairs resident. It was very disappointing. The owners left two stand-up fans that I turned on; hoping the white noise would block out some of the sound from the upstairs neighbor. But the fans did not help remedy the problem.
