❄️🎿 BOOK SKI SEASON NOW — SALE PRICING ON WINTER DATES
Autumn/Winter Pricing Just went on SALE TODAY 11-10-2026
Winter rates just dropped, and the best weeks go first. We`re the closest cost-efficient home to Vail Village, tucked on a quiet, low-traffic cul-de-sac — and when the snow flies you get what most Vail rentals can`t offer: heated driveway, heated patios, heated walkways. No shoveling. No scraping. No 6 a.m. ice.
Holiday weeks, MLK, and Presidents` week book earliest. If those dates matter to you, now is when to lock them.
🎿⛷️ WINTER IN VAIL — WALK TO LIONSHEAD, SKI THE BEST SNOW IN COLORADO
Stroll out the back door onto the open-space path and you`re in Lionshead in 5 to 7 minutes, with the gondola base just beyond. The path is LIGHTED at night, so walking back from dinner, après, or a torchlight parade is easy and safe. Prefer to ride? The free in-town bus (Sandstone purple line) is 30 seconds out the door and drops you at Vail Village or Lionshead in minutes. Park the car on arrival and don`t touch it again.
Come home to a private hot tub under the snow, a gas fireplace in the living room, a second fireplace on the back patio, and a steam shower to loosen up whatever the mountain did to you. Skis, boards, and boots live in the exterior gear closet. Sleighs and snowshoes are on us.
🍁 COMING THIS FALL? THREE OKTOBERFEST WEEKENDS IN A ROW
Before the snow, the valley throws a month-long party — and you`re minutes from all of it. Beaver Creek Oktoberfest runs Sept 4–6 over Labour Day weekend, then Vail goes twice: Lionshead Sept 11–13 and Vail Village Sept 18–20. Three straight weekends of steins, brats, and oompah with the aspens turning gold behind it. Hike Booth Falls or Bighorn Creek through the colour, fish Gore Creek in the crisp air, and drive Vail Pass at golden hour. Bring layers — warm sun, cool shade, and an outside chance of first snow.
🏔️❄️ THE PINEY LAKE CORRIDOR
You`re 0.3 miles from the Piney Lake Road entrance. In fall it`s a stunning drive to one of the most beautiful alpine lakes in the Vail area — late-season fly-fishing, the Upper Piney River Trail, and photography once the aspens turn. Once the snow sets in, the road closes to passenger vehicles and becomes exactly what backcountry people come here for: a snowmobile, snowshoe, Nordic, and ski-touring corridor starting minutes from your door.
🌊 MATTHEW`S HIDDEN GEM — LOST LAKE
Just up the same road past Piney sits Lost Lake, Matthew`s personal favourite in the area. One of the best leaf-peeping hikes in the valley in fall, and a quiet snowshoe in winter. Ask us for the inside scoop when you arrive.
🛝 RIGHT OUT THE FRONT DOOR — KID & FAMILY HEAVEN
Red Sandstone Park is a 1-minute walk out the front door — playground now, snow-play spot come winter, and we keep sleighs and snowshoes on hand for guests all season. The cul-de-sac setting means safer outdoor play with minimal through-traffic.
