Beyond the signature clock-tower in Vail Village there are many neighborhoods within the 10 square miles of the town limits. One of our favorite neighborhoods is East Vail. Located just east of the Vail Golf Club, East Vail is considered by many purists to be the most beautiful neighborhood in Vail.

The neighborhood is truly an alpine enclave just 4 miles from Vail Village. Dominated by residential development, the only commercial establishment is a small grocery/spirits store. Otherwise, the neighborhood is known for its residential orientation and lack of traffic and congestion.

As one descends on East Vail, no matter the season, one knows they have entered a truly special neighborhood. The mature evergreen trees, the many waterfalls, steep chutes and overall alpine ambiance advise guests “they have arrived”. During the winter months, the evergreens are frosted in white from late October until April. During the other months of the year, waterfalls surround the neighborhood as do hiking trails and bike paths.

Within this most special neighborhood is a lovely 4 bedroom home which sleeps 12 in luxury and comfort. The home, surrounded by tall pines, evergreens and aspens welcomes guests no matter the season. Even though just a few miles from the heart of Vail Village (access by car or free in-town shuttle), guests have commented “we felt a million miles away from the crowds and congestion of Vail Village”.

The sunken living room is the heart of the home as guests enjoy the sounds of a crackling wood burning fireplace, a rarity in the mountains. Others may wish to escape to the private outdoor hot tub surrounded by trees to enjoy the star-lit nights. The children love the loft as their private play area. For the chef, the gourmet kitchen invites creativity, the large deck, al-fresco dining during the warmer months.

The master bedroom rivals many luxury suites, its king bed guaranteeing a restful sleep. The en-suite bathroom with dual-vanity sinks, granite accents and steam shower will be most welcoming after a day on the slopes or on the bike path. The additional 3 bedrooms, all well appointed have skylights to enjoy the mountain nights. The vaulted ceilings, a signature design of the alpine environment.

No matter the season, our East Vail home will delight, impress, provide luxury accommodations and welcome you back every year. East Vail, the most relaxed neighborhood in Vail, Colorado.
