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. Things to know: * Please note that this home does not include central AC.
