Excellent lodge for my group of 6 on an annual guys trip. This place is perfect for 6 guys or 6 couples. Immaculate home, high-end finishes, extremely clean, great hot tub and firepit for apres, pool table and gameroom, theatre. Quick walk to Vail bus route in the morning, or use the Solaris parking pass. Easy access and great host communication. Hope to rent this place again!
Highcliffe was one on the best properties I've stayed at anywhere in CO. Great location (easy access to mountain on the bus), and Adam was a fantastic and super responsive host.
We had the most fantastic stay! With little snow, it was so incredible to have this house with all the amenities, space, hot tub, game “garage” and most importantly, the movie room for March Madness. Adam was so attentive to all our questions, and so gracious. We absolutely loved our stay, and that is saying a lot being in Vail with very little snow. Easy drive to Vail village and the bus stop was extremely navigable. Highly recommend!!! Stunning property…
Adam was such a great host! This home is absolutely beautiful and worth the stay! Roomy, cozy, and such a relaxing vibe! We loved every bit of this property and will likely rebook if we return to Vail.
This was the perfect location for our family group of 11 in Vail - incredible house, extremely responsive host, excellent ski logistics. Highly recommend for any group.
The house and location were everything I could have wished for and more! The home was beautiful and had everything we needed to make our family holiday a special one! The location couldn't have been better as well. I really can't say enough about this special home. Can not wait to come back! Thank you, Adam!Angie Bird & family
This house was perfect and we lacked for nothing!
Communication with Adam was great and the location couldn’t be better! We were celebrating or 50th Wedding anniversary with the entire family from ages 3-73! Great places to gather and enjoy the fabulous views and splendid weather! We want to book again! Thank you Adam for sharing your house with us!
Everything about our stay was absolutely incredible. The property is even more beautiful than the photos online appear, the location is outstanding (less than 5 minutes from the village), Adam is the best host I have ever booked with, and he even has a parking pass for a garage right in the middle of the village! Everything was pristine when we arrived and this was hands down the best trip we have done to date (8 years and counting). I could not recommend this property and Adam highly enough!
Thank you for everything, Adam!
Highcliffe Lodge is a very beautifully decorated, handsome, charming, cozy and well built home full of personal details that address your every need. With lots of fun rooms for entertainment including a theatre and games, you won’t want to leave home except for skiing and shopping in Vail which is very close by. We had a two foot snow storm sweep through on our visit and the trip became magical. We had seven people in our group and fit very comfortably. You will feel very grateful for your stay and sorry to be saying goodbye as you pull away at the end of your stay.
The house was a perfect compliment to our vacation. It is a beautiful upscale mountain home that really sets the tone for a luxury ski vacation. The location is very close to Vail village and also the perfect location to allow us to ski Vail, Beaver Creek and Breckenridge due to the close proximity to all three mountains. Adam the owner was extremely hospitable and available if we needed anything. The house has all the luxury accommodations including a movie theater, garage game room, large hot tub, chefs kitchen and more. We loved the mattress so much in the main floor master bedroom that we ordered one for our home. Can’t recommend this property enough. We will most definitely be back.
My husband, our three young kids and our best friends and their three young kids had the trip of a lifetime while staying in this epic log cabin! The home is meticulously and perfectly designed in every single room. Plenty of room for multiple families to be together or space out if needed. Whether you want to cozy up by the fire and stare out the window at the snow, or gather in the kitchen to cook a meal together, watch a movie in the one of a kind movie theater, play pool or ping pong in the heated garage, or freshen up in one of the many great bathrooms this home has you covered. Adam is the absolute best host we’ve ever worked with and keeps the home in perfect shape for every single guest. We all can’t wait to return and stay in this home again Next year.
Adam, thank you for sharing your slice of heaven with my family. Your home is beautiful and well appointed…from the gorgeous furnishings to the western themed dinner plates. No detail has been overlooked. My granddaughter especially loved watching movies in the cozy theater room complete with a leather chair just her size. The yard and outdoor space is truly stunning. We looked forward to morning coffee on the porch, and even better, wine at sunset on the patio. I will always cherish the memories made with my family this summer at Highcliffe. I hope to make a few more this winter!
Absolutely amazing house and vacation!! There is nothing I can say that we needed while staying at this house! The house was beautiful and stocked with everything you will need for a great vacation! Communication was great with Adam!
Thanks again!!!
Quality, beauty and had all the essentials to an amazing stay. We also received several tips on ski rentals, lift passes, groceries, and restaurants. We had an extended family trip. Loved cooking in the kitchen, great hot tub and the teens loved the game/movie room. The kitchen was a welcoming place for the adults to have great conversation/drinks.
This location had the very best of everything from quality linens to game room to media room to board games to being located on a hiking trail down a beautiful creek. Located 5 mins from the best Vail has to offer to 40 mins from EGE. Our family enjoyed pool, foosball, ping pong, movies in media room, bike rides, horseback rides, Symphony at Bravo Vail, and high altitude golf. Perfect home away from home for us to make
Memories!
Highcliffe Lodge is a luxurious home base from which to explore the splendors of Colorado! The lodge had spectacular views, a secluded feel, and access to a wide variety of activities, from hiking trails for all levels to zip line and rafting adventures, all of which we took advantage of.
For less active days, nearby Vail Village and Frisco offered great restaurants and shopping. The lodge also was well appointed with games and a theater and lots of outdoor space to relax.
We had a great family trip thanks to our gracious host and his AMAZING home! We would love to visit again in winter.
We have had an amazing time in this house, we spent our vacation holiday in Vail and was fantastic. We love the lodge, everything in it is great.
We hope to be back soon…… We are a family of 10 people, and the lodge works perfect for my group, the jacuzzi, the home theater, the steam bath, the bar and of course the rooms and common areas was incredible. Great value to have a card to use as much as you want at the Solaris parking in Vail Village, just 4 minutes from the house by car, if you are thinking to rent this lodge, do it now you can not loose this property. On the other hand, the communication with Adam was impressive, he was always on line. With no doubt you must go to the Highcliiff Lodge.
