The condo was quite clean, well stocked with all essential items, and communication was good with the owners. The view of Gore Creek was very relaxing from the back patio and family room. The condo is in a convenient location as we hiked several trails at Vail, Beaver Creek, and Breckenridge driving to the trailhead or gondola/lift locations by rental car. Note that after Labor Day weekend, mountain lifts and gondolas only run on weekends in the area until ski season begins. Playing golf was a fun activity at EagleVail Golf Club and Vail Golf Club. For a nice dinner outdoors on a patio we enjoyed Elways. Our Montauk Seafood Grill dinner was delicious also. There is a Safeway Grocery Store nearby. After full days of activities it was nice to come back to the quiet setting of the lovely condo. Hopefully, we will have the opportunity to return to the condo next time we are in Vail.

This was our second stay at the Johnson Ski House and it continues to be a lovely townhome on Gore Creek. The location is in West Van, steps from the free town of Vail Bus so no need to drive. The home is very nicely decorated with comfortable furniture, great beds , well appointed kitchen and a nice size laundry room to store skis,etc and a huge washer and dryer. Everything is clean and spotless and the owners are very responsive. This is a small complex with a shared pool and hot tub. There are full time residents so it’s nice and quiet. Gore creek right out your back door with its lovely soothing sounds. It is a great value for Vail! We look forward to staying again!

This was our 3rd time staying at this lovely home. We have stayed in a few other places in Vail but keep making our way back here because it is perfect for our family of 5. The host is always so attentive, the home is always so clean, and we always have everything that we need for our stay. We love the location as we can just ride our bikes into the village if we want, and the views/sounds of the creek are the best part. We will definitely be back again!

We cannot speak highly enough about our stay at this unit and it’s gracious host. Not only was it spotless, but you can see how much attention to detail is provided by the owner to ensure a comfortable stay. The unit was very well equipped, accommodations were top notch, and it’s location was most convenient for using the town bus. We’ve been coming to Vail for more than 30 years and can honestly say that we’d more than welcome the opportunity to stay here again.
