Colorful Riverfront Chalet with Shared Pool and Hot Tub - Close to Ski Slopes

Ptarmigan Mountain Chalet

This stunning Vail vacation rental designed by a local interior designer has access to a seasonal swimming pool, a year-round hot tub and sauna, and is in a prime location for enjoying the Vail Valley's many recreational opportunities.

Located on the edge of Vail, it's just a three-mile drive or shuttle ride to the Vail ski slopes, or a 10-mile drive or shuttle ride to Beaver Creek Resort for skiing/riding in the winter or hiking, biking, and base village activities like zip lining and scenic gondola rides in the summer.

This beautiful two-bedroom, two-bathroom home with a loft sits on a sprawling lawn before the banks of Gore Creek, and has a colorful, modern interior that is relaxing and sophisticated. Green wood accents give the home a mountain lodge feel.

This home is equipped with its own spacious mud and laundry room, perfect for storing gear and tossing dirty laundry directly into the wash. Entertainment includes WiFi for music streaming, cable to catch the latest sports' highlights, and a Blu-ray DVD player for Redbox rentals.

The fireplace warms the space while guests gab on the sofa and make a meal in the full-service kitchen with blue cabinets and stainless steel appliances. Pile the dishes in the dishwasher and take nightcaps outside on the porch while young guests play a game of toss, explore the old gondola cabin, or take a swim in the summer months. Take a soak in the shared hot tub and a steam in the sauna.

Up to six guests (four adults at most, please) will sleep comfortably in the two bedrooms upstairs. There is a bathroom upstairs and another downstairs.

One bedroom has a king bed and a private deck. The second bedroom has two twin beds and a sink for additional convenience. The sofa in the upstairs reading area can be pulled out into a bed for additional accommodations.

This is a rental suited well for a young family or a group of close friends exploring the Vail Valley and enjoying endless mountain activities from hiking to spa treatments. The free town shuttle makes going from house to town and back easy and simple, so fun can be had without wasting time parking.

This Vail Valley vacation rental is the perfect place to rest your body and soul while enjoying the Rocky Mountains.

Super chalet in West Vail.
This was an ideal off village condo for my family of 5 (3 kids incl. teens) right on bus route. I would definitely rent again in winter or summer. The unit was clean, nicely appointed, roomy for our family of 5 so all the kids got their own beds, pretty views since its right off Gore Creek, and easy access to the village via car or bus. The bus stop is literally out the door, so if you are savvy with public transport, this is perfect for you. 5 Star Rating!

Great time
We really enjoyed being here. Views of creek are so nice. Lots of room to spread out and be with family. Plenty of space for family of 5. Great laundry room for storage etc especially if there to ski. The vail bus is right outside front door which was amazing. The only things we found lacking was the cheap toilet paper, one shower leaked, upstairs tub stopper is broken and took forever to drain, same with kitchen sink. I’m sure all will be fixed. Our kids were upset there was only 1 TV but I think it was great to take a break from that. We loved playing games around the big table. Kids were also afraid to sleep in the loft because of the steep ladder but plenty of beds anyway. Great closets. We loved our stay and would definitely stay again!

Great spot- lacking service
The house itself is great- the pictures don’t do it much justice, felt much more inviting in person. Would love to come back, however the sink disposal was broken and the freezer had a leaking issue upon arrival. Disposal had leftover food and water from the previous guests so I assume the cleaning crew either missed it or just failed to mention it. I tried to call and have someone come fix the disposal on day 1 of three and was told someone would be there today and give me a call. Neither happened- so I called when we returned home later in the day and was basically given a runaround answer from vacasa that they were busy and would escalate the issue and be there the next day. Fine- I waited for a call all of day 2 and never got one. No further contact from anyone, nobody stopped in to try and fix the issue, the sink was starting to smell with the lack of maintenance. I gave up at that point- nothing was worth mentioning or calling about because they don’t have the staffing to help out. Would have been nice to have some warning at the very least… would love to come back but was a headache trying to work with Vacasa.

Perfect Stay!
This was such a perfect place to stay. The pictures are beautiful, but don't do it justice. The owners have made it so cozy with the decor and it adds so much character. Pros: - perfect amount of space for a family of 5-6 people. - beautiful view of the creek - great location next to bus stop, gas station, grocery, and 5 minutes to the village - very clean! Nice towels and bedding - great communication with rental company I would certainly stay here again! Cons: - This wasn't a problem for us, but there isn't a master bath in the main bedroom. If you're traveling as a group, or prefer your own separate bath this might be problematic for you. Overall, this was one of our favorite rentals we have stayed at! We would definitely book again!

Updated comfy Vail condo
We had a pleasant family ski vacation staying in this condo. The kitchen was fully stocked, so make sure you look through the cabinets before heading to the grocery store, as they had some seasoning and coffee filters etc available. The mud room right off the entrance was wonderful! So nice to have a place to immediately remove possibly wet ski gear, with laundry right there too. The downstairs living space is open and comfy, and the view of the creek is relaxing. The beds were comfortable, although we did not need to use the pullout couch or the bed in the loft, so I can’t attest to them. Our only complaint is that we enjoy soaking in a hot tub when getting off the slopes and we did not have access to the hot tub. We called the property manager multiple times and although they were nice, we didn’t have an honest response until half way through our stay, which apparently the prior renter accidentally took the hot tub keys and they would not be able to get another one during our stay. They did refund us a small amount of money, and although we loved the actual condo, we would not have stayed there without access to a hot tub. I understand they have no control over the prior renter taking the keys but they should have a backup key available, as I’m sure this could accidentally happen occasionally.

Convenient location
It was clean and updated. Sheets were a bit worn and rough and kitchen with some limited utensils and no laundry detergent (had to buy some at local store; usually some is included at properties). No one told us the hot tub was across the parking lot in a building next to the garbage bin. Found out on our last day. Overall, smaller than I expected but, otherwise, as advertised.

Perfect Vail Retreat
I can't say enough good things about this townhome! The layout is great and the interior decor is adorable. I slept in the master room with the king bed and it was super comfortable. There is a bus stop very close to the unit, but you're also only about 1 mile away from the village. 15 minute drive to Avon/Beaver Creek. You won't regret booking this lovely home!

What a cute place! Very nicely decorated and super clean! The view in the backyard was amazing. The location was perfect just a 3 minute drive to the slopes. We had a car but the bus stop was just outside the house if needed. We would definitely stay here again. It was the perfect spot for our family!
