Secluded Private Home Near Cascade Lift #20

We had a wonderful family vacation in Vail and truly loved our stay. We had the opportunity to experience two of Ken’s properties during our trip, and both were absolutely beautiful, comfortable, well-appointed, and perfect for a family getaway.Ken is an exceptional host: responsive, thoughtful, and very attentive. We felt well taken care of from start to finish and couldn’t have asked for a better experience.We would happily return and highly recommend staying at any of his properties in Vail.

Super convenient to Lionshead as well as to local Safeway. Minutes from some great dining at the Grand Hyatt.The house is well stocked. If you desire a property that is fully updated - it may not be for you. But the layout works well. The property owner does a good job w keeping the driveway plowed. It is next to some super high end homes.

Had a great stay here in vail, great location close to the lifts, will be booking again next year.

The owner was incredibly quick to respond to any questions or concerns. The jacuzzi is amazing! We really enjoyed our stay. Do make sure to minimally have AWD the roads can be quite slick when it snows.

Had a great vacation for my birthday with friends. Everything went smoothly and very happy with overall experience. Would definitely stay again

Very efficient check in process and owner was immediately responsive to questions. Very nice location walking distance to the Hyatt. Short drive to Vail Village and Beaver Creek. Hot tub in excellent order. Would certainly stay again.

Having only rented from VRBO a couple of times I didn't notice how old some of the reviews were. Or how sparse new reviews were. Things have changed since the property was updated in 2015. And the things that went unsaid in the listing are obviously more important than what was said. Pro's: When contacted the Owner was responsive. The property manager was not. House had the number of bedrooms and bathrooms listed. Although only one bedroom has a private bathroom and it's not the Master bedroom. Comfortable. It's in Cascade Village... but not part of the Grand Hyatt amenities which would cost the Owner money. To bad because then there would be a free shuttle... Yup, that pretty much sums up the Pro's Con's. And why I have a problem with the listing: The house is up a very steep hill. It's recommended to rent an AWD or 4WD. Change that to MUST If you decide to walk as suggested (20 minutes uphill for an adult) there is no sidewalk. If there is snow you are walking in traffic, in the dark, on an icy street in ski boots. Don't even think of trying it with kids under 15. You can park across from the chair lift... at $25 for the day. It's $30 at Vail and Lionshead and then you don't have to take a shuttle back if you miss the last lift. Real wood fireplace is include, which is great, but no firewood. Called the property manager but he didn't get back to us. Finally called the Owner and he did. Said there were Duraflame logs in an outdoor closet... one. Did not offer to send more. Some overall observations. It is a good house and comfortable. The kitchen is very usable but the pans are all old and deteriorated. The furniture is comfortable, but again, older and sagging. Rugs are stained and all the towels were in the dryer when we arrived. Sheets for pull out couch looked dirty. Jacuzzi was great but needed to be filled. A couple of light fixtures didn't work because the knobs were broken. It just seems that no one from Ownership has walked through the place in awhile so maybe quality control has begun to slip. Seven years is a long time for a rental property. More upgrades are necessary. And finally, when someone uses the term nearby, question what that means. I don't believe that a 15-20 minute uphill walk in the snow and on an unlit street should be considered nearby. Tell it like it is. I guess ultimately the question is, would I stay there again or recommend it to a friend? The answer is No.

This property was awesome. Nicely located and very easy to get around. Very spacious and well layed out. The owner was very responsive and quick when asked questions. Nice sized two car garage for multiple cars and storage. An absolute great experience

We were celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary ❤ with our 3 young adult children and wanted some room to spread out. A concert by the Philadelphia Orchestra, great dinner at the Grand Hyatt, hikes along Gore Creek, some mountain biking, and several rides up the gondola to admire the high peaks and snow! The accomodations are spacious and comfortable. The unit is an older model but clean and attractive. A few areas need repair, and we did let the owner know about a leak under the kitchen sink, but we very much enjoyed our summertime stay and would recommend it highly.

Had a great stay!
