100 yards from Born Free ski run. Named 'Chalet du Soleil', this charming four bedroom home is within easy walking distance of fine restaurants and shops. The house is on a large lot. Sledding and playing in the snow can be enjoyed by those with excess energy after skiing. We provide the sleds. The house is equipped with all the amenities you are accustomed to in your own home.

The house comfortably accommodates up to ten people. The master suite features a queen-size bed plus whirlpool tub for two (jacuzzi type) and separate shower room. The other main floor bedroom includes a queen-size bed, bath/shower, and an expansive bay window. The third bedroom on the upper floor has a queen-size bed, two twin-size beds, plenty of closet space, and a large vanity sink area.

The fourth bedroom is, in fact, an adjoining studio-apartment with king-size bed, compact kitchen and full bath. All beds are made up in the Swiss-style with comforters, extra pillows, and ironed sheets.

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!

This was a great property just a short walk to the slopes in Lionshead. The house is spacious and comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook breakfast and dinner throughout the week. The communication with the host was excellent as well.

I have nothing but great things to say about Heather and the Chalet! This is the 4th summer that I've stayed at the Chalet with my wife and 4 kids, and I'm looking forward to coming back again next year. The highest praise I can give Heather and the warmth of her home is that staying here has become a core memory for our young family, and an annual tradition. There are a lot mountain homes you can rent, but you will not find one with as gracious of a host as Heather, as good of a location, or as much of warmth and love permeating the walls! After 4 reviews I have little left to say, that I haven't said in previously, but as always 5/5 stars! You won't regret staying here!
