Family ski trip

Good basic ski condo. The layout of the condo is a bit awkward but it is functional. For example, the fireplace is nice but the layout of the condo does not take advantage of it. The kitchen is basic a good pans and cooking utensils. the table top appliances are very cheap. For instance, the Mr coffee machine from the 1990s does not have an automatic shut off. One humidifier was broken. The other humidifier was a cheap system that runs a fan over water. We filled the tank on arrival and ran it full on and it took a week for the single fill to be evaporated. We hung wet towels to help keep the air moist. There are areas that appear unfinished (the repairs to the bathroom ceiling should probably be painted) and the caulking in the bathroom is sloppy. The listing also advertised a grill but there was no grill on the deck or any guidance on where to find one. The walk to the Vail village is a manageable distance. Finally, you will be asked to sign a contract 1 week before your stay that asks you to indemnify the owners against everything that could possibly happen. It is an unfair one way contract. You don't get your room key instructions until you sign so no choice but to sign.If you cancel the reservation at this point, you lose the entire payment. Had I read this contract when making the reservation, I would have selected a different place

View, view, location

Lovely location with mountain view overlooking the river. The condo is "tired" with some minor blips like missing closet knob & dresser screws. This is one that seems more all out rental than owner-loved. Not much in the way of TLC, amenities, or finer touches. It's due for some renovation/remodeling. However, everything worked and the view and village access are plusses. We were a short 5 day stay. I would want something "moreso" if I were staying longer and I would definitely need laundry which it is not clear if there's anywhere one could do that nearby. If you are here to ski, we strongly encourage you to make arrangements to keep your equipment in town. It's a good hike with all of your gear (We like Vista Bahn at the base of Gondola One) but a comfortable walk without it. We had a mishap upon arrival due to flooding from an upstairs condo. Vail Management was on it immediately and had us fixed up within 24 hours. We've been to Vail often enough now, that we would definitely prioritize properties managed by them. I've heard not-so-good stories about other management companies. All in all, a nice stay and since we don't linger in the condo, it was good for us!

Disappointing Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: At the beginning we where very excited about this property's proximity to Vail town and the appealing photos turned into disappointment during our stay. While the manager explained that some noise from old pipes and creaky wooden floors was expected due to the building's age, the reality exceeded our expectations. The incessant loud noises persisted throughout the day and night, making some moments unbearable and hindering our ability to sleep on certain nights.The practicality of staying here for skiing enthusiasts is questionable. The difficulty in accessing the property with boots, skis, poles, and other gear proved to be a significant inconvenience. It's essential for potential guests to consider this factor, especially if they plan to spend a substantial amount of time on the slopes.Moreover, the malfunctioning amenities added to our frustration. The lack of TV signal, broken toaster, and humidifiers not in working condition further diminished the overall experience. These issues, combined with the disruptive noises, left us feeling that the property did not justify its price.Sadly, we wouldn't recommend it, particularly for those seeking a comfortable and peaceful stay during their time in Vail.

Good condo… could be better

As advertised. 10-min walk to Golden Peak lift (#6). Amenities were dated, but adequate. Master bedroom/bathroom could use a refresh. Teen kids thought the sofa beds were comfortable. Kitchen was ok, except for the dishwasher, which broke during our stay. None of this is to say it wasn’t a good place to stay… it was. Just could have been better.

Really enjoyed the location of this rental. It was very spacious. However, I could hear every footstep from the unit above, which woke me up very early in the morning.

Good location nice place

Short walk to slopes. Kept skis and boots at Vista Bahn (very affordable) next to Gondola one so was convenient to walk to slopes without gear walkway and stairs connect to stream trail. Two living areas each with pull out couch which were comfortable. large bedroom and two bathrooms made condo roomy plus balcony overlooking creek with views of slopes.

The property was clean but outdated. It meet our needs. It is not fancy but the location and parking makes it a condo worth renting.

Venture to Vail

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall we had a great time in Vail and our stay at Apollo Park was a big part of that. Less than 10 minute walk to the lift, heated pool right outside the door for after the slopes, and very well equipped apartment allowed us easily to stay in a few nights for dinner. As stated, there is no laundry but the gas fireplace heats up the place nicely and dries out ski-wear so better than nothing.

Very Good Location

Very good location, excellent apartment, with a wonderful view of the mountains. The only thing that was unclear was the check in, because I didn't know I had to download the APP to find the key code, we got lost, and in the emails it was not clear who we needed to call. I found the phone after a long time, we got in touch and the service was fast and efficient. We will definitely go again

It’s really for two people only

It really is a great location. Things for others to know: it’s a .5 mile walk to the ski gondola; it’s .4 miles to the village; no washer and dryer (they don’t advertise they have one either, just clarifying) there is 1 king bed. The pull out beds you can’t sleep on. Just too uncomfortable. A 5-7 year old kid maybe, but no adults. An sleep there. Everything was in working order. Management group responds immediately to any questions which is great. I would stay there again but only me and one other person.

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: You people are crazy. Why are you asking me to review a property after you have made it impossible for me to vacation with you?You stole my money after I couldn't come because of Covid-19. You need to make that right or leave me the **** alone.

Great location

You get what you pay for. The location and view from condo are amazing! Yes as others have mentioned it is a bit dated. Seems like they have updated some furniture from the pictures we saw online which was nice. Plenty of towels and linens. The downside was it was pretty loud. You could hear the people above us getting up early in the morning. Very thin walls. So thin that we got a daily and nightly marijuana smell from our neighbors. It was awful and seemed to permeate the bedding. So maybe this is more of a place not for families to stay. Besides the pot smoke we knew what we were getting and enjoyed our stay.

Great Convenient Location to the slopes, Spacious and Comfortable

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed here before 2020 xmas, checked out on xmas day. It is spacious, perfect for four of us, teenage boy and girl took one of each sofa bed (memory form, comfy enough, no spring is wonderful). two bathrooms are great, convenient and we don't need fight for bathroom. hot water is almost instant from early morning to night, no issue on running out of hot water which is problem for cold weather like vail. kitchen works. initially pots are disappointing, non-stick pots/pans worn out with scratches and warp. Pots are aluminum/stainless steel. I'm very concerned with them since we planned to cook at this place during stay, esp. covid-19. I emailed vail_mgmt, about half way of our stay, a brand new set of pans/pots showed up at the door. thanks for addressing. for the remaining of our stay, we use and take care of new set of pans/pots. hope coming guests take care of them as well. the stove is very strong, setting 5/6 is hot enough, no need more than that which could damage/warp them. Overall, we had a great stay, about 10 min walk with ski gears, would come back in future. we love the views outside the windown, sometimes magpie stopped by, very pretty. We love the path along the creek, very serene and like in a painting. The inside is bit old, however, it works. I don't know when blender was made, but it is very old, but works. I highly recommend to replace it as smoke came out when I pressed down even low speed buttons. we did not see wraps/alumim wraps. great place, affordable and convenient is all we need during our ski trip.
