Great location, stunning views, and amenities. Our host was fantastic. It’s too bad you can’t choose more stars.

Thank you so much, Michael! It was wonderful meeting you and your lovely wife, and I look forward to having you both back in the future! Hope you have a fabulous New Year! 😊Meredith
This was a work stay for me as I needed a change of scenery, and this was perfect! The condo has an un-restricted view of the mountains which was amazing. This is the ideal place for couples to stay.

Great meeting you, Ram! So glad you enjoyed your stay... Looking forward to having you again in the future :)
Wonderful place, delightful staff, amazing slope access. We enjoyed our stay in this well-stocked and comfortable condo. There is a 24-hour front desk with professional and pleasant staff. On-site laundry was great, able to tap my phone instead of searching for quarters, so nice. I used the gym and hot tubs and they were well maintained and clean. Cannot beat the location wow!

Thank you, Heather! It was great meeting you, and I'm glad you enjoyed your stay :)
Location and amenities were perfect for our stay. A true ski-in and ski-out! Ski rentals were literally 8' away from the rental. Really short walk to ski school. We've already reached back out to stay here again next year!
This place has one of the best patio views of the mountains/Gore creek in Lionshead. The amenities are everything you need for a great ski trip: ski concierge, apres bar and comfy room with fireplace. Very responsive owner and property staff. This is now our go-to for our yearly Vail trips!
One of the best condos we have ever stayed in! Stunning views out the back patio, steps from the main village, and a well-equipped, comfortable room! What's not to love about that, especially during the off-season when rates are lower and the crowds aren't there?

Great having you, Mike. Thank you for the wonderful review...I agree...what's not to love about my favorite condo ! See you again soon, I hope , Meredith
Our unit was quiet and comfortably furnished with a sunny balcony facing the mountain. The greenspace and rushing creak outside added to the peaceful scene which was a welcome contrast to the nearby bustle of the Lionshead gondola and apres ski crowd. Especially enjoyed the on-site convenient parking, El Sabor restaurant, gym and changing facilities, and other amenities. Our unit was well-furnished, and ideal for a couple looking to unwind after a long day on the slopes. Imagine a great location in summer as well.
Definitely the best ski in, ski out location in Lionshead. Accommodations are clean and comfortable with everything you need, including a well stocked kitchen. Ski rental is literally steps away across the hall. Great view of the mountain from the private patio as well! Meredith is a wonderful host, personally welcomed us upon arrival and was so very helpful during our stay.

Thanks for the great review, Karen. Was wonderful meeting you and look forward to a future visit :)
The location of the condo is one of the best in Vail. Right a the bottom of the gondola and the ski shop is literally across the hall. True ski in/ski out. Great restaurant down the hall and hot tubs downstairs. Meredith was amazing, she met us upon arrival and gave us a tour of not just the unit but the whole complex, truly a hands-on host. Will definitely be back here again.

Thank you for your wonderfully detailed review, Mauricio! It was a true pleasure meeting you, and I look forward to seeing you again :)
Perfect location and proximity to everything you need. Parking was on the same floor as the condo and 1 door down was the ski shop. A short walk out to the gondola and you are in the mountain. Beautiful Mountain Views and the host Meredith was there upon check in to show us around and give us a little mini tour of the unit and property. We will be back!

Thank you for the great review, Chris! It was a pleasure meeting you, and I too look forward to hosting you again! See you next year :)
I stayed at the property with my two sons, 10 and 8 during spring break. The location was amazing. We were able to rent skis in the building (location is across the hall from the condo) and the Gondola is directly across from the property. There is a ski valet to store the skis and Meredith was very responsive.
Perfect ski vacation for my adult son and I. Condo has a balcony overlooking the slopes and is well maintained/updated. Nicely appointed. It is less than 100 meters to walk down the hall, pick up skis from the ski valet and get on the gondola. Wonderful welcome from the host, getting us situated with parking and touring us around the amenities—sauna, pool, hot tub, gym, 24 hour coffee and hot chocolate.—Staff were all great and always friendly and helpful. Looking forward to next ski season.
Such a great location and a great unit. Beautiful view of the mountain and the creek. Loved having coffee in the morning on the balcony and hearing the creek. You can't beat the location. Beds and sleeping are very important to my husband and me. The king bed was very comfortable, but not having air conditioning during a summer visit was somewhat uncomfortable, yet tolerable. Opening the window and having a ceiling fan was just not enough for us 50 year olds to get a really good night's sleep. Otherwise, everything else was great, and Meredith goes out of her way to be welcoming and accommodating.

HI Ana! Thank you for the wonderful detailed review. I always appreciate feedback. I had hoped that the 2 new ceiling fans would be sufficient, as most people say it is, but I appreciate knowing it was not sufficient for you. As you know, I did invest in upgrading the electrical panel so that it is possible to now add air conditioning, so I will take your feedback into strong consideration and may go ahead to add that. I want happy guests! Glad you so enjoyed everything else about my lovely condo. Hope to see you again...especially if I do add air conditioning! Thank you! Meredith :)
Owner refused to give access arangements without meeting her first and told us we could not bring our dog four days prior to arrival when she approved reservation at booking; knowing all along condo association did not allow pets; very unprofessional and inconvenient for us as paid renters

Mark, The distortion in your review and omission of the fact that you canceled your trip and never stayed in my condo is disappointing to say the least. I will outline the facts so that readers are fully aware:
1. I always meet and greet my guests upon arrival if I'm in town, give them a tour of the amenities, and show them the best place to park. Everyone loves this and appreciates my going "the extra mile" for them. You are the first person I've encountered in 31 years who found this to be negative instead of positive. People love it and many have become repeat guests (some are now friends). When I'm not available guests get key cards from the front desk.
2. When I spoke to your wife the week prior to the trip she stated that you were undecided as to whether to bring your dog. I explained that it would be easier if you chose not to since this condo was now also in the rental pool via Vacasa, so they have a stricter policy on this unit than my other 2 units.
3. When you called to say that your arrangements for your dog had changed, I offered my condo across the hall (same floor) which I managed fully, so it was easier to accommodate your dog. You agreed that you would take this unit instead and bring your dog. Everything was settled and arranged.
4. You called the day you left to drive to Vail (along with your doggie) and said you hit a deer and the car was badly damaged. Although you, your wife, and your dog were not hurt, you decided this was an "omen" that you should not come. I encouraged you to come anyway, since you'd have a replacement vehicle, but you decided not to do so. I had the condo ready for your arrival and asked you to reconsider once things settled down. You chose not to come. I offered to give you some compensation for a future trip later in the summer as well, but you said you come often, so missing this summer was "not a big deal." I'm sorry that you are unhappy, but I went out of my way to try to accommodate you. Had you come, I believe you would have been as happy as all those who DO come. They rate their experience as 5 star for a reason..
Nice room, very convenient location, friendly staff, very international cross section in Vale which was very refreshing.
4 days 3 nights in lions head and had a good time. The hot tubs were indeed hot (not always the case). Very hot, it was great. The heated pool was excellent. Restaurants were a little average.. Prices are also a little too high in my opinion but there is alot of demand to justify likely. We went to dinner nice places but dishes seemed very ordinary but with fancy names. Not very high level culinary but still did have high price so we're a little dispointed with the that aspect.
We will probably stick more to closer mountains but Vale is definately top, maybe sharing the spot with Copper in my opinion.
Meridith is very kind and helpful and we appreciated her welcoming and warmth.
Cheers,

About the host
Hosted by Owner, Dr. Meredith Ringler
My new hubby & I met on Vail's amazing slopes where we enjoy the incomparable Back Bowls, Blue Sky Basin, and the amazing convenience of LionSquare Lodge. What a romantic place it was for us to share from Day 1, and we celebrated our 1st anniversary there 3 years later! Let us show you our favorite powder stashes and bike trails! After growing up on the icy slopes of the East, it was always my dream to live in Colorado and ski the fluffy powder! I made that happen and moved to Vail to raise my daughters in this magnificent setting that offers so much. As a psychologist, I know the importance of having a hassle-free vacation to 'rejuvenate' and make the most of your time off! Having owned our 2 condos at LionSquare Lodge since the girls were 1 & 5, I can't imagine a more convenient way to enjoy the slopes and amenities for families with children at any age. Vail offers the best of everything to adults and children, teens and singles. From the time my girls were little, LIonSquare Lodge has been their 'other' home, with its friendly, warm, ambiance that is welcoming and convenient. This unparalleled location has 'spoiled' us, and now we want to spoil YOU! Come stay with us here, and you'll keep coming back!
Why they chose this property
There is not a better location anywhere! My friend, who is a ski resort development consultant, says there is no condo/hotel complex with a better proximity to a ski slope anywhere in the world (and he tried to buy out all the owners 20 years ago, but they would'n't sell)! My condo has the best view of the slopes, and is both luxurious and comfortable. The ski shop is literally across the hall, and all the FREE amenities are fabulous!
What makes this property unique
Free covered parking on the same floor; Free DVD rentals, Free Coffee/tea/cocoa and cookies in the 24 hr. lobby; Free state-of-the-art gym, FABULOUS hot tubs and pool with stunning views; wonderful restaurant right off the lobby!
