Heather was very welcoming! The house was perfect for our family of 10. It had everything we needed. Cozy fireplace, sleds, easy access to the Eagle Bahn Gondola for the skiers. Vail Public Library is an easy walk and a good activity to do with the little kids. Free bus is a short walk and takes you anywhere. So many memories made! Thank you Heather for your hospitality!

Great accommodations and ultra convenient location!

Heather was a pleasure to deal with and made sure that we had everything for an enjoyable stay. The kitchen was fully equipped and even had a crockpot which was perfect to prepare a warm meal for the end of great day skiing. I will definitely be contacting Heather for future ski trips to Vail.
