The Gem of Vail Come see the beautiful mountains of Colorado in this spacious West Vail duplex resting upon Gore Creek, giving you a great ambience in any month of the year. If you're a snowboarder at heart, you'll be glad to know that the Colorado Snowsports Museum And Hall Of Fame is less than four miles away from this vacation rental, where you'll be able to learn all about the history of snowsports, from its beginnings to what we see now in the Olympics. Check out the Walking Mountains Science Center and bring your family to learn about the nature around you and the magic behind it all, or step out into the wilderness and see for yourself on the many hiking trails and nature hotspots available right at your fingertips. Placed roughly 100 steps from your home, there's a Town of Vail bus stop that takes you directly to Vail Village, Lionshead, and Cascade Villages. All the shops, gas stations, restaurants, and grocery stores you could want are located less than two miles out and a car isn't needed! Back at your home away from home, you'll be able to truly relax as you kick up your feet on the sectional couch in the spacious living area for a quick power nap. After you wake up, you can step out onto the balcony and peer out into the treeline from the comfort of your vacation rental as you take in a deep breath of fresh air. Head into the full island kitchen, equipped with stainless steel appliances, and whip up a delicious dinner for you and your guests. Simmer down in your own jetted tub and dry up by the warmth of the fireplace with a cup of cocoa. Gather around the smart TV and stream your favorite movie with your friends. Call it in at night, pop open the windows for a cool breeze, hop into your pajamas, and slip under the covers for a good night's rest. Prepare yourself for an unforgettable creekside vacation.
