Inside, you can rest those weary legs (and hands) and let the home do all the work. This is your family’s vacation after all. The driveway and patio are heated, so worry not. They’ll take care of their own snow and ice removal. At the simple stroke of your finger on the provided iPad, the automated hot tub and sound system are also now under your control. We also provide daily housekeeping. You may want to even hire a private masseuse and make good use of the professional massage table down the hall. Or simply soak in the steam from your own private spa before you sink into the couch to enjoy the day’s latest entertainment in the state-of-the-art media room. Once you’re ready to face the real world once again, take the in-house elevator up to the main floors and enjoy the museum-like atmosphere. Don’t ignore the 20-foot windows, though (as if you could). They will become your own private viewing screen of unparalleled sunsets, the day’s weather patterns, the vast Vail natural landscape, and the myriad of skiing fanatics that are on the slopes right outside your door.

Of course, this is also a true ski-in/ski-out property. Were you expecting anything less? No hiking through the village with all your gear. Just slide outside and head down the Born Free catwalk to the chairlift for the inside track to all the mountain has to offer. And when you’re done on the slopes, let your personal ski lockers store your stuff and the individual glove and boot warmers get your things good and toasty for the next adventure. And trust us, there will be plenty more adventures. Believe it or not, these add-on amenities are only the beginning. But you’ll hope there’s no ending to your stay.
