Our unit is unique because it is on the south corner of Taylor's Crossing. With 1,058 square feet of living space, our condominium is one of the largest units in the village and can accommodate up to 8 people, although 6 persons would be the most ideal. You are a VERY close walk to the lifts, but not facing them. This is a good thing, because the noise those other condo units are subjected to from music, grooming, snow cats, snow making (sounds like a never ending jet engine), and skiers, while 50 yards closer to the American Eagle Lift, can be a BIG drawback. You want a little piece and quiet at some point, right? Now, I am not saying it is perfectly quiet, always. There is a fire pit in close proximity, and a bar down the way. Occasionally, those locations can produce a rowdy crowd, especially on weekends with the Super Bowl, etc.

There are 2 bedrooms. Bedroom number 1 has a king size bed, and bathroom with dual sinks and a tub and shower. Bedroom 2 is ideal for the whole family, as it has a full bed over queen bunk bed that can sleep up to 4 more. The remaining two can sleep on the roll out couch located in the living room. We have a memory foam mattress topper available for the roll out to help make it nice and comfy. The second bathroom is located just around the corner from bedroom 2 and has a shower and bath combo as well.

Our living room is attached to the kitchen where you will find all the amenities you will need, such as the dishwasher, refrigerator, stove, microwave, coffee maker, and full compliment of dish wares. All kitchen appliances were replaced with brand new stainless steel appliances in June, 2014. We installed new granite, sinks, and faucets in May of 2015. In May of 2016, the entire unit was finished with a major refresh including new carpet and tile, a fresh coat of paint, new toilets, and shower fixtures. The dining room table has seating for 6 with a table expandable to 8, and the satellite TV will keep you entertained while you cozy up by the gas fire place. We also have games like Scrabble, Risk, Monopoly, and Clue to play with the family.

There is a large balcony off the dining room, where you can watch the beautiful sun rise and sun set from our south facing unit. Very few units have this feature. There is a table and chairs you can relax on as you watch the ice skating on the frozen West Lake, or the fireworks during the New Years and nearly every weekend during the Summer. Note: During the summer, the Aspen trees full of their summer leaves may obstruct some of your view as they have grown taller over the years.

After a hard day of skiing or summer biking, you can visit the hot tub, steam room and sauna to help sooth those sore muscles! There is a fitness room in the building, as well as laundry facilities (bring some quarters) on the 2nd (very close) and 4th floors.

We are located in the heart of Center Village. Just a few steps from the famous Sugar Lips Mini Doughnut Shop, and around the corner from dozens of restaurants and hopping night life. Down the way is the Copper Creek golf course for our summer visitors, and the awesome tubing runs in East Village to help spice up that ski vacation in the winter. Paddle boating and kayaking is a fun summer activity, as are the go-carts, climbing wall, mini-golf and a zip line just outside the condo. Head down to the outlet shops in Silverthorne for the afternoon. You are about an hour's drive to the gambling town of Black Hawk. Relax in front of the fire pit in the evening. This is not just a ski town, it is a year around family fun town!

For the serious skiers, enjoy a short walk to the American Flyer and American Eagle high-speed Super lifts (6 seats). Enjoy over 2,400+ ski-able acres. Would you like to try another resort during your stay? Vail, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Arapaho Basin, Loveland Pass and Keystone are all less than 30 minutes away.

Your car will be safe and warm in our exclusive underground parking facility. A second car can be permitted in the Alpine Lot if requested, free of charge. Elevators, with luggage carts, will allow for easy transport of all your luggage and equipment from your car to the condo. There is a large cage located here to store and lock your bikes for our cycling guests. We have two Fuji Mountain Bikes for you to use during your stay. Our unit is smoke free. Pets need to stay at home please.

E-mail or Call us! Have a special request? We will try to make it work. We are not a commercial renter. This is Mom and Pop stuff. The old fashion way. Person to person. Easy to contact. Responsive to inquiries. I will get back to you same day if at all possible. I am an airline pilot, so there may be gaps during the day when I am not reachable, but will respond as soon as practical, always within 24 hours!

Thanks for visiting our site.

Host Fee Structure:

I fully acknowledge that additional fees are frustrating and can add a lot to the final tally. We are very sensitive to this unfortunate reality and try to keep it to a minimum. For full transparency, the cost to own and rent this property would surprise most people. The amount of permits, taxes, fees, and surcharges the Village of Copper places on us to legally utilize this condo as a short term rental borders on ridiculous. To keep this business viable, we have had to add a "Property Fee" to offset an additional 4% STR surcharge Copper requires (on top of the HOA dues, Village dues, Lodging and State/District/Local sales taxes. This 4% totals an average of $29 per night. Some of our fellow neighbors list this fee under their taxes tab, while other collect it separately due to the way it is received and remitted.

We do NOT require additional insurance. VRBO no longer requires a security deposit upfront, and our cleaning fee ($210) is only what it costs us (Our manager, SkyRun, charges us a $175 cleaning/linen fee and $35 to check you in and manage your stay). Taxes are mandatory and withheld and remitted by VRBO. We never see any of the "Service Fee" or Taxes (State, County, Village, Local). We do not charge more for weekends. As this condo is most suitable for 6 people, we have bed space for up to 8 guests if the sofa bed is utilized. We do add an additional $20/night per extra guest over 6 for the additional wear and tear. You have the option to pay half the bill at booking, and the remaining half 30 days prior to your arrival to help ease your budget. VRBO automatically sends you that reminder for final payment. VRBO does not remit any payment to us until after you check in. Every payment is 100% refundable prior to 30 days. Before you arrive, I will e-mail a detailed packet about everything you need to know, from directions, maps, to checking-in, helpful hints, and what to expect during your stay. Any stays of 7 nights or more, you'll receive a 5% discount on your stay!

For the 2023-2024 ski season, Copper Mountain has implemented an OVERNIGHT parking fee (10pm to 5am) if you bring an extra car and park in the ALPINE LOT. That fee is $20/night. Day parking is still free. Our unit has a 1 parking space permit allotment in our underground heated garage free of charge.

SkyRun is our on-site property manager. They will handle your check-in and needs during your stay.
