Cozy ski retreat with mountain views--perfect for couples
About this condo rental
Situated in Vail, this charming condo for $210 per night is a great option for your next trip. Welcome to Alpinhaus Vail! A top-floor walk-up, 1BR/1BA condo overlooking the beautiful Vail Valley. This property is along Gore Creek with mountain-top views and is located on the grounds of the Vail Racquet Club. THE SPACE: Recently remodeled 550 sq ft condo with mid-century inspired design, we expanded our kitchen and dining area to add a dining area. Our sofa features a Queen Plus sized pull-out bed with no metal bars (a.k.a. super comfortable!) so we can sleep up to 4 guests. You can also relax in our meditation loft. The bedroom is quiet and comfortable with a Queen sized Dream Cloud brand hybrid mattress and a custom closet to stow all your belongings. The bathroom is more of a hotel style (where the shower and loo are in a room separate from the sink area). The private deck overlooks Gore Creek and the Gore Range mountains and offers two rocker chairs and an electric grill. AMENITIES WE OFFER: We believe in providing quality amenities and furnishings to our guests. In the kitchen, we supply a wide range of spices for you to cook with, oil, pantry staples like flour and sugar, and a supply of K-cups, coffee grounds, and teas. While the supply is not infinite, we leave a generous amount of paper towels, hand soap, dish soap, dishwasher detergent, toilet paper, and trash bags for use during your stay. Our kitchen drawers are stocked with a wide range of kitchen utensils and tools--no old, dull knives and mismatched silverware here! We are foodies and come to our condo often so decent quality cookware is a must for us--plus, no one wants to cook on an ancient scratched-up Teflon pan! We supply cozy blankets to wrap up in (and yes, they are washed with every change of guest) as well as one bundle of wood to get you started with the fireplace. All linens are fresh for each guest and we leave a spare set of bed linens--just in case! In our rental agreement, we allow you to choose the number of bath linens we leave for you to help customize your stay. A supply of hotel-sized toiletries (shampoo/conditioner, shower gel, lotion) is supplied as well. You are welcome to use our ski locker on the ground floor but you must bring your own lock for it. There are pay-per-use washers and dryers on the ground floor of our building. They are coin or credit-card-operated. We supply some detergent for you under the bathroom sink if you'd like to use it. Parking is free and we can leave you passes for up to 2 vehicles during your stay. The condo is on the FREE bus line that can take you anywhere in the Vail Valley that you want to go. Skip the $50+ ski day parking fees and hop on the bus at one of the TWO bus stops within short walking distance from our door. We provide two smart TVs (one in the bedroom, and one in the living room) and the condo has Xfinity high-speed internet. You are welcome to sign in to your favorite streaming services--just remember to sign out before you leave! The meditation loft above the living room has a variety of books and art supplies. There are a few board and card games in the console under the TV to enjoy as well. We provide two luggage racks in the bedroom and offer several USB-integrated power outlets so you can always easily charge your devices. WE DO NOT HAVE A/C!! Frankly, we do not need it here and the majority of homes in the area do not have it. We live in the area full time and while there are a few days in July when it can get a little warm, with the windows open and the ceiling fans on it cools nicely. Our unit generally self-maintains a temperature between 68-73 degrees. Being at high altitude is A/C in and of itself. It rarely gets above the mid 80's temperature here. If you absolutely must have A/C, you should select a different homestay. Our heat is electric baseboard and the bedroom has a separate thermostat from the main room. Guests are welcome to control the thermostat as they see fit. RESORT AMENITIES *** please read carefully****: The Vail Racquet Club is a 20 acre resort property that features multiple rentable tennis courts, pickleball courts, basketball hoops, a year-round heated pool, a family hot tub, two adult-only hot tubs, a fitness room, a yoga/pilates room, saunas, and steam rooms in each locker room, a gift/clothing shop, on-site massage therapy, and an on-site restaurant, Apres Cafe. ENTRY TO THE CLUBHOUSE IS NOT INCLUDED WITH CONDO RENTAL! Guests may purchase a drop-in day pass at the front desk of the clubhouse if they wish to use the club amenities OR in our rental agreement, guests can elect to pre-purchase a bulk rate punch pass. The punch pass has 10 entries and is perfect for longer stays where guests would like to visit the club more than once or twice. The Apres Cafe and gift/clothing shop do not require a day pass to enter. Additionally, if you book a massage, it comes with complimentary day access to the club. We recommend you call the Vail Racquet Club ahead of your stay to secure your spot with the massage therapist if you plan on booking a massage. RECREATION: We're 5 minutes from the center village at Vail, 15 minutes from Avon (Beaver Creek Resort), 15 minutes from Copper Mountain, about 35 minutes from Breckenridge and Keystone and Ski Cooper, 40 minutes from Arapahoe Basin, and 45 minutes from Loveland Ski Area so skiing and snowboarding opportunities abound. Other winter activities such as ice fishing, XC/Nordic skiing, snowmobiling, dog sledding, sleigh rides, sledding, and more are readily available. In summer, the hiking is endless (we're happy to recommend trails!). Horseback riding, goat yoga, goat happy hour, art festivals, music festivals, farmers markets, bicycling, adventure parks, hot springs, fishing, camping, boating, kayaking, paddle boarding, and more are all close by. We offer a curated list of recommended places to all of our guests. THINGS TO NOTE: -We are a high-alpine environment. Snow, ice, and hazardous conditions can happen at any time. While the property is well maintained and many of the paths are heated and/or shoveled, not all surfaces will be clear of snow and ice at all times. Caution must be used and guests assume the risks of staying in an alpine environment. We highly recommend you do NOT wear ski boots when climbing the stairs to the unit. -While we do allow children, our space is NOT recommended for younger children. The condo is a top-floor walk-up. There is unprotected furniture, balconies, sharp kitchen items, etc. that would be accessible to youngsters. We are NOT baby-proofed or toddler-proofed or curious child-proofed. Parents who bring children assume all responsibility for their children in the unit. -Our condo is not recommended for those with mobility issues. There is no elevator and some hallways are relatively narrow. HOUSE RULES: -No Pets per the HOA. We love animals but please respect this rule. Also, please do not attempt to pass a pet off as a service animal. This is fraud and illegal in Colorado and only serves to harm those who legitimately are service animals for people who truly require them. ESA's are not federally protected as service animals. Bringing a pet and/or faking a service animal will result in an immediate termination of your stay and forfeiture of your security deposit and reporting to the state of Colorado. Any fines imposed by the HOA for the pet will be passed on to you and become your responsibility. -Absolutely no smoking or vaping of any kind inside the unit. And no smoking/vaping near open windows or doors to the unit. Smoke odor embedded in the unit will be charged an additional clean-up fee or result in the forfeiture of your damage deposit. If you are a smoker and smoking outside of the building, please be sure you are extra vigilant in your ashing and disposal methods. Colorado is MUCH more dry than most areas and a cigarette can easily ignite a raging fire. Do not smoke or have open flame near any potentially combustible material. -No tampering with smoke detectors, internet routers, wireless networks, thermostats, or locks. Our smoke detectors are hard-wired into a fire monitoring system. Tampering will result in a $300 fine from the HOA that will be passed on to you. -All guests WILL be required to sign a rental agreement after booking and prior to their entry code being given out. This agreement reinforces the VRBO contract but also goes in-depth with information about the property, fulfills our HOA and town requirements of dispensing certain information to guests, and it helps us collect information to help us customize your stay such as how many towels you want, how many parking passes you need, if you'd like to purchase a clubhouse punch pass, etc. -All guests must purchase either the VRBO-offered damage insurance or do a fully refundable damage deposit at the time of booking. CANCELLATION POLICY: We have a moderate cancellation policy with VRBO. We HIGHLY advise you to purchase a "cancel for any reason" trip insurance policy with a third-party insurance carrier. These types of policies can offer coverage for illness, trip delay, weather impacts, and more and are generally very economical. We will happily supply your policymakers with any necessary documentation should you need to file a claim. CHECK OUT INSTRUCTIONS: We do not believe in a long list of things to do before you head home. We expect our guests to treat the condo reasonably and we simply ask that you: 1) Leave towels and linens where they are! No need to strip the beds or gather linens. 2) Make sure the faucets, stove, and oven are off and the fridge/freezer are closed. 3) Log out of entertainment apps. 4) If the trash is stinky, please take it out. That's it! Of course, we welcome it if a guest starts the dishwasher, clears the fridge of their used food, or sweeps up however we do NOT require guests to do that. We clean the condo ourselves and are very thorough in all the tasks. Vail MuniRevs 027216

Cozy flat in excellent condition with everything necessary.
My son and I stayed three nights very comfortably. Bus to Vail Village was a three minute walk from condo. Handy ski locker downstairs and lovely tranquil view from balcony. Would gladly rebook :)

Had a wonderful ski getaway at this condo! Lisa did a great job at answering any questions and giving us updates ahead of a winter storm rolling through town. Incredibly organized condo with how-tos and recommendations on just about anything you can think of. Easy access into downtown via bus line and stop a short walk away.

This unit is definitely an East Vail treasure newly remodeled and conveniently located next the the Vail Raquet Club, in town Vail bus route, steps from easy hiking and a beautiful bubbling river just over the balcony. Comfortable space for 4 people the nice fold out sofa couch. We would highly recommend!!

We liked it so much decided to stay another week with family at another unit.

We stayed four nights and had a fantastic time. The unit is in a nice part of East Vail. It is located next to Gore Creek. The view from the deck is beautiful. One day I fly fished the Gore Creek and it was very relaxing.
The free shuttle system is very convenient. I think we took it to Vail Village every day we were there.
The unit had everything you could possibly need; nice TV, new fridge, and everything is very organized and well marked.
This unit is on the third (top) floor and keep in mind that everything you bring has to go up the stairs and the unit sits at 8,515’ MSL. The air is thin in Vail!
The bed is a full which was fine for us but could be too small for bigger people but we were fine with it.
The communication with the host was great and they let us check in early and check out late which was very helpful.
The wood burning stove was fantastic! They provide enough wood for one fire but if you want more you’ll need to bring it along (as I did) or get it at the local store.
We’d definitely stay again.

The condo was perfect for my wife and I. Very clean and recently remodeled. Minor issue with TV was corrected within minutes with a call from the host. The host was very responsive.

The Racquet club is a destination in itself. Beautiful stream and gorgeous views right off the deck. Lots of hummingbirds. Couldn’t have asked for a better location for a relaxing get away. Close to everything.

Talk about a seamless weekend getaway!!! I don’t think I have ever experienced such a well organized VRBO. We truly felt right at home the moment we arrived.
Our trip was a brief one to attend a family wedding, and this condo was perfect for the two of us. The amenities provided by the owners were above and beyond and so very thoughtful.
The condo is small (perfect for our needs) and we utilized every inch from the outside deck and electric grill to the upper reading loft and everything in between.
We utilized the bus stop daily to venture into Vail Village (the Sunday Farmer’s Market is amazing!) and Lionshead.
The owner’s covered everything you need to know about the condo with 💯 percent accuracy in their listing, but also provided a folder in the residence to guide you around the condo, racquet club and surrounding areas. We had no issues finding anything. We are very well-organized individuals so this condo fit out needs perfectly.
Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, in providing us with a home- away-from-home experience and memories to last a lifetime.

Cozy Couple's Getaway is exactly as described! Pride of ownership shows with this property. It is definitely a step above your average rental with how thoughtfully it is cared for and all the little extras like coffee, spices, condiments, etc. The balcony overlooking the creek is such a great spot. You can't really get away from 170 noise in Vail valley, but this property is so close to Gore Creek that all you hear is the sound of the water! Overall this property is a great value!

What a seamless process! Very cute and clean, great instructions - spacious living area that's perfect for two friends - would be cramped for two couples as the bathroom area is a little small, but I will absolutely book again for myself - loved our stay.

Cannot tell you how great this place was. Lisa had so many extras in her condo. But the best feature was communicaiton with her. She was always available and pleasant to speak with. In a time when many hosts "subcontract" their hosting roles to guest to someone else, this is really a plus to work directly with the owner. . . and with one who is so kind!

This was the perfect place to stay with all the best amenities, perfect comfort, and an incredible view. They thought of EVERYTHING. The apartment was very clean and everything was labeled, so we didn’t have to waste time figuring out how to settle in. We could focus on having fun in Vail which was easy to get to because of the very close bus stop. We loved it! We’ll be back!

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this property. The condo has a great location next to a snow covered stream with mountain views. The condo was stocked with many items like coffee, a variety of seasonings and more. Everything was state of the art, there were even qr codes that linked to videos of how to operate the fireplace and appliances. The hosts, Lisa and Ian, were very attentive and easy to communicate with. Overall, a very wonderful place!

My fiancé and I had a wonderful 5 nights here. The owner did a great job remodeling the condo and it looks just like the photos listed. It is about a 15-20 minute bus ride from vail village.. the pickup spot is a short 1 min walk! Great spot, thank you!

The owner was very helpful. The unit is clean and newer furnishings etc. Shuttle to Vail Village about a half a block walk. Tip: make sure that you know where it is the night before you use it. We really couldnt figure out where to go.

What a beautiful condo! Very nicely updated. You can tell a lot of thought went into every detail. The balcony over the creek was my favorite place to sit and drink coffee every morning. The location is perfect for a quiet stay. Far enough away from the busyness of town, but just a short drive in. Or there’s a bus stop right outside the complex. Communication with Lisa & Ian was outstanding! They are incredibly kind and responsive. This place will be at the top of my list for a future getaway! I highly recommend this condo!

Our family of four appreciated this modern- recently renovated condo at the Vail Racquet Club. It’s situated on the Gore Creek and which was peaceful and beautiful. We slept with the sliding door open( screen closed) and the Creek offered its own soothing sleep sounds!!
The unit was very clean and even stocked with plenty of cleaning supplies to use if needed.
There was a complimentary Keurig coffee/tea/coco bar, plenty of spices and oils for cooking , ample cooking tools and bedding.
The condo has a queen bed and queen sofa bed which was the most comfortable sleeper sofa ever ( no cross bar digging into your back).
The Vail Racquet club has laundry on site , large workout room, lap pool and tennis/ pickle ball courts on site.
Our family would most definitely stay here again❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️

Perfect Vail Rental
I stayed at this rental with my 13 year old son for our summer vacation to Vail. The rental was perfect! Clean, had everything we needed and the owners are great! Lisa was really responsive when I had a question and checked on us to make sure everything was ok. The location is great, close to town and the free bus stop a very short walk. The view from the balcony overlooking Gore Creek is wonderful. I drank my coffee there every morning and relaxed with wine at the end of the day watching the water and the mountains. We even bought a little raft for my son to ride down the creek, which he loved. The unit is decorated beautifully and the beds are very comfortable. Even the pull out couch has a nice firm mattress, which I ended up sleeping on :) I can't say enough great things about this rental, it was perfect and we had a great time! I will definitely stay here again on my next trip to Vail. Thank you Lisa!

Took a short, last minute trip to do some spring skiing and this was a perfect place to stay. Lisa was very accommodating, the place was very clean, organized…made our stay hassle free! Convenient shuttle bus stop, and peaceful location right on the river, surrounded by the mountains. We will be back, but for a longer stay!!

We had a perfect vacation. Lisa and Ian are great hosts, very welcoming and responsive. Apartment is clean and cozy. Shuttle bus stops are very close to the apartment building; bus takes you to the villages, schedule is accurate.
Would love to come back next season.

The condo was PERFECT! I have stayed at many vacation rentals and Lisa (the owner) was so kind and helpful. The condo had all the extra touches to make the trip very enjoyable. It was obvious that a lot of thought and care went into furnishing the condo for guests and it was very much appreciated. The sleeper sofa was absolutely the most comfortable sleeper sofa I have ever encountered. The kitchen was well stocked with kitchenware as well as spices, teas, paper supplies, and a Keurig with pods. There was a brand new air fryer/convection oven (which we did not use but appreciated nonetheless) and refridgerator. Best of all though, the host was very sweet and responsive. I would definitely stay here again if I had the chance!

Lisa and Ian were awesome to work with. Great communication and easy checking / checkout procedures. Mornings were the best with a cup of coffee, watching the sun come up over the mountains and the creek below. Perfect spot for a couples getaway! Thank you Lisa and Ian…can’t wait to come back and see the new kitchen!
