A Great Vail Value: On Gore Creek, Free Bus, Wi-Fi, Hot Tub, Summer Pool
About this house rental
Nestled in Vail, this charming house for £197 per night is a fantastic choice for your next trip. No matter the season, this quiet, secluded location with trees, mountain views, and the sound of Gore Creek, located only 20 feet off the back deck, will fit the bill for your next vacation. You can ski any of eleven Colorado resorts (Vail, Beaver Creek, Copper, Breckenridge, Keystone, A-Basin, Steamboat Springs, Aspen's three mountains, and Ski Cooper) and still drive home for the night to a cozy fire and comfortable king-size beds. The Ptarmigan complex has 38 townhomes, many of which are lived in by permanent residents. The covered bus stop for the free Town of Vail Shuttle is only a two-minute level walk from the front door. A three-minute ride gets you to the Cascade ski lift; ride a little longer and get off at Lionshead or the Vail Transportation Center and Vail Village itself, offering numerous quality restaurants, night spots, and incomparable shopping. If you choose, however, to stay in, you will also be content. This townhouse boasts a kitchen with granite counter tops, rustic cherry cabinetry, and new appliances. It is furnished down to the wine glasses! The glass-topped dining room table seats six, but there is also a second table in the sunken den which seats four. Turn the gas fireplace on to take the chill off of an early morning or to quickly warm up the home and mood after a day of outside activity. The spacious upstairs front bedroom and creek-side bedroom boast comfortable king-size beds and flat-screen TVs and the middle sleeping area has a queen-size bed with TV/VCR/DVD player. The unit has a ladder to the loft above the stairs. It has a queen mattress and desk lamp. Finally, the den couch is a sleeper sofa which adds to your sleeping options. The Ptarmigan complex's location within Vail is something mentioned by many guests. Vail's primary necessities shopping area is less than a half mile away; a two-minute drive, five-minute bicycle or 10-minute walk from the unit. It includes two large grocery stores (Safeway and City Market), Christy Sports (very competitive ski rentals and sporting goods), liquor stores, dry cleaner, fast food and much more. The unit is a three-minute walk from the Gore Valley Recreation Trail, a fun path where walkers, runners, and bikers can enjoy a jaunt into Vail along beautiful Gore Creek or perhaps a ride all the way to Avon or Breckenridge. The summer outdoor pool and year-round enclosed hot tub are a one minute walk across the parking lot from the front door. Rates are lower for this unit due to owner management. Owner management is visible throughout the unit in a friendly, cozy environment, rather than a sterile cut-out cookie. Art work, mirrors, and bathrooms with intricate tile work all point to ownership who also enjoy their visits here!

We loved being right on the creek. The kids enjoyed the loft bed upstairs. Kitchen was fully equipped to cook meals. House was well stocked with laundry detergent, paper towels, toilet paper, soap shampoo, hair dryer and much more. We will definitely stay here again.

Well kept and comfortable condo with Gore Creek in the back yard. The creek was rotating from snow melt and rain, and saw several kayakers and rafters go by. Enjoyed the hot tub after each of two 14er climbs. Highly recommend.

We enjoyed our stay at this Vail condo. It was a super short walk to the bus to Vail and the hot tub. The condo was very spacious with lots of room to spread out. We loved the huge laundry room right off the front door to store our skis. Also, James was great to work with.

I had actually been to the exact unit 6 years before with my grandparents and cousins. I just remember having the best time. Enjoying the creek right in the back yard the younger ones enjoying the loft area. So fast forward 6 years I now have a daughter and I was fortunate enough to bring her out here to celebrate her birthday. We had a great time and just like her cousins before her she loved the loft area and having the creek just steps away. Just being a bus ride from anywhere and having the grocery store so close was nice. We had a great time and definitely want to come back

Great townhome in small, quiet development, minutes from Lionshead and Vail Village. Right on Gore Creek as promised. Owner was quick to respond to questions before and during our stay. Unit was clean and well maintained. Couch, chairs, and bed we slept in were also comfy and in good condition.
We would definitely stay here again.

Great location and layout. My boys loved the hidden loft sleeping area and having the river immediately out the back door. Unit was clean and quiet. We all agreed that this was the favorite place we've stayed in the mountains.
5.0
We truly enjoyed our 5 nights at Ptarmigan #15. The place is homey and quite comfortable - well stocked with everything we needed. And the fact that Gore Creek is only steps from the back patio is such a selling point. We loved watching and listening to the water from the living room with the sliding door open, from the patio, and while reading in chairs by the water. Beds were comfortable and bathrooms were very nice! We will stay here again for sure. Appreciated all the communication and details from the owner. We used the free shuttle bus several times, but it's also a lovely walk into Vail Village!

We had a great relaxing weekend getaway to Vail. We loved the sound of the creek which was right off the back deck. It was so peaceful. The property was very clean, and the owners very responsive to all questions. We would definitely stay there again.

Nicely furnished, clean, good location, and you'll love the Vail Creek in the back yard.

The location is great, the bus stop is a few steps from the door, and its a 5 minute ride to Lionshead. We rented a van to get to Vail from Denver, but during the week, we only used it once to get groceries for the week. The location is so good that we were able to use the free bus to move around Vail.
The unit was clean when we arrived and stocked with linens and paper goods for our stay.
There are 3 full bedrooms upstairs plus a sleeping loft, all the bedrooms upstairs share the same bathroom, but there's a second full bathroom downstairs. Both bathrooms are well equipped and there was enough hot water for showers. We were a group of 5 staying here for a ski week and this was the perfect choice for our ski trip to Vail. The unit was comfortable, spacious, and very clean.
The living room has a great view of Gore Creek and has a timed gas fireplace which kept us warm, it also has a sofa that turns into a bed in case you need an extra bed.
the kitchen is well equipped and fulfilled our needs perfectly, and the front door is locked with an electronic combination so no one needs to carry keys, everyone can come and go independently and have access to the unit.
Jim & Signe were very responsive & accommodating, super-easy to work with. I'd definitely recommend this place, the price was right on spot, and we would definitely stay here again.

We stayed here for a long ski weekend. It is a few miles from Vail Village so nice and quiet. The shuttle picked up at end of driveway which was great! Kitchen was well equipped for cooking meals. They thought of everything! Beds were comfy and everything was clean. Loved it and would come again.

We absolutely loved this home--location was fantastic and interior was very nice and beds comfortable. We rented a car which was convenient for groceries and restaurants in Eagle and Edwards, but the location on the bus loop was great and we used it every day. We would definitely stay again. Thank you!

Spacious and Super clean! Our family loved the close location to the river. I would high recommend this location. The whole experience was seamless.

We had a group including two couples with three total kids in April (along with five childless friends of ours next door who rented from the same owner), and all had an excellent time. The kids loved playing right outside the back door by the creek, and the townhomes themselves are very well taken care of. We also walked into town with the kids along a beautiful path, which was great - and when they're tired, the local (free) bus home is very convenient and a quick trip.
5.0
This town home is practically on Gore Creek. I enjoyed getting up early and having coffee while the creek ran by just outside the back door.
We had a large group and also rented this owners other property, right next door. It made for easy coordinating and visiting back and forth.
The property has a hot tub house with showers and is great after a long day of activities. We have not stayed here in the summer but the pool is close and looks lovely.
Aside from the views, one of the best things about our stay was the easy access to Vail Village, Lionshead and other areas of Vail Resort. The shuttle owner posted a shuttle bus schedule which runs very regularly and is free. These shuttle buses accommodate skis and snowboards on the outside.
This town home has A LOT of room for relaxing, cooking, eating and sleeping. The bedrooms are quite large and there were plenty of blankets and extra beds for babies and children. The decor is lovely and comfortable.
I can't say enough - the price was right and we will definitely return!

We wanted to go to Vail to celebrate my 75th birthday, and as we were going to have family with us, we needed a place with at least 3 bedrooms. We chose this beautiful townhome on Gore Creek and were not disappointed. Although this home did not offer the Book Now feature, the dashboard was available. We simply contacted the owners and they made the entire process an easy one. (It also saved us VRBO's booking fee.) Working with them was convenient; they were always available by phone or e-mail if we had a question. Two reserved parking spots right in front of the ground-level entry home made it very simple to unload and then load again. The setting backing onto the creek is enjoyable at any time of day. (And as a bonus, I could fish there when I didn't feel like driving to other fishing destinations.) This particular home had a gas burning fireplace, so even though it was summer in Vail, the early morning temperatures made a morning fire an easy and nice touch. We were three couples and we found the home to be spacious and comfortable. You can tell that much care has been taken with the furnishings. The beds were very comfortable. We had many of our meals there and the kitchen was great. We found everything that we needed to fix any type of meal. The grill on the back deck is a nice addition. We will definitely return!

This place was fine. Loved the river out the back door, the bus stop at the end of the parking lot and the hot tub. It was clean, everything worked, no problems.
I should have looked a bit closer at the 2nd bedroom. It's tiny and has an accordion door across one whole wall. Also, all 3 upstairs bedrooms, share one bath. Though, there is another on the first floor. It's all their in the owner info if you look it, but it eluded me.
I have no regrets about renting the place, just wanted to point out the info re the bedroom configuration.

This was a perfect place for a vacation with my 2 daughters! The condo had everything you could possibly need and was very well equipped. Great location, beautiful surroundings, and very inviting. I would highly recommend and plan on coming back.
