Jan 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Skiing Minutes Away! Very clean property! Great place and location for a great price. Hop on the bus only steps away, ride bus for 5 minutes and you’ve arrived at Vail chair lift. Take a different bus route and a longer ride to ski at Beaver Creek. Property had everything we needed. Check in and check out was easy peasy. I would recommend! ##### Amy B.
