Bighorn by AvantStay | Spacious Ski Cabin w/ Sprawling Porch, Views & Hot Tub!

Welcome to Bighorn, an AvantStay home!

Tucked away in the trees, this private mountain home provides seclusion in an idyllic, natural setting. The home’s interior is bright and contemporary with soaring vaulted ceilings, spacious rooms, and plush furnishings. An open floor plan, floor-to-ceiling windows, and two private units downstairs, both of which have kitchenettes, mean your group will have ample space to spread out. Whether you’re unwinding after a day of hiking or skiing, your crew can indulge in cocktails by the fireplace or gaze at the stars from the newly added hot tub.

Home to the country’s largest and arguably most beloved ski resort, Vail sits at the heart of the Rocky Mountains, delighting travelers with its unbeatable, panoramic views. In the winter, it’s no surprise that skiing is the top attraction as 5,289 acres of fresh powder provides a thrill for both beginners and pros to enjoy. The town’s ideal summer climate lends itself to fantastic hiking, outdoor sports, and fields of lush flowers to admire. With access to gourmet restaurants, boutique shops, and year-round activity, Vail’s visitors will find something exciting at every turn

Comfortable but Needs Serious Attention
We did not expect this property to be luxury since it is dog friendly. However we experienced some issues that are too big to ignore: Severe mold in two bathrooms was disconcerting, towels that were wet and had a bad odor were laid out to use in baths, cracked tiles in master bath and kitchen, and severely stained carpet throughout. The cracked tile in kitchen came out of place frequently and had a jagged edge. Furniture is very old, worn, stained, and some broken (side table and dining chair). Pluses: great location, nice deck and hot tub, well stocked nice kitchen, great layout for our group of 7. We appreciated the responsiveness of the Avant staff for handling small issues promptly. Highly recommend installing a gate at top of stairs on deck for safety of children and pets. For the price & it being an 'AvantStay' property our group expected it to be better maintained.

Great Place in East Vail
The accomodations were just what we needed. It really is a great set up with 2 seperate apartment style rooms with their own kitchenette and bathrooms on the ground floor, the 2 larger bedrooms w/ en suite on the main floor and the 2 queen room upstairs. We had to do some extra cleaning in the apartments (AvantStay was awesome and quick in their communications with us). They layout was really great for us. If I had to be picky - new couches would be a welcome addition. Also, the stairs to the 3rd floor are very steep. Nothing young adults can't handle but a little suspect for the aging population. All in all this was a great vacation. Thank you AvantStay, you were great to work with. Hope to be back soon!!!

Long weekend in Vail
Very Nice property in East Vail, about 10-15 minute drive to Golden Peak base, or a bit longer on free town shuttle-bus. This older home easily accomodated our family ski trip with 8 adults, 1 toddler, 1 infant and 2 well behaved/trained dogs. Although some TLC is needed in areas (eg worn stair carpet and floor tile issues in kitchen and baths), the roomy living area & kitchen were comfortable for the entire family. The deck's hot tub and fire-pit are only accessible through either of the two adjacent bedrooms. Two other bedrooms are on the first level. T hot tub needed service call due to leaking. Overall, we had an enjoyable weekend!

Tired old house
This house is old and tired. While it has a renovated and well equipped kitchen and the bathrooms are fine, the overall vibe is old and worn. It should just be torn down and start over. At the very least the very old and unattractive carpeting should be replaced. Plus East Vail is not the best - highway noise is loud and constant - but that is true of all of Vail. I would recommend Beaver Creek or Edwards.

East Vail for Groups
The house was very nice and spacious and served our ski group of 8 guys very well. Quick access to the Vail shuttle was a hit. If you choose to drive in for paid parking at the resort it’s about 5 miles and 10 minutes away. The only issue we had at check-in was the smell of natural gas which ultimately involved a 911 call, a visit from the fire department, and ultimately a technician from Xcel to repair the outdoor valve. It was not a major issue…but added some extra hassle dealing with the local resources to resolve this. I will say the property management contacts were very helpful and responsive. This should be a non factor for future guests. Also…they came to clean the hot tub on Sunday which may be the routine…this left some disappointment for some after skiing as the water took about 24hrs to hear back up. All in all it was a good stay, the group had a great time, and we would stay here again. Last thought…the local access road and the driveway were pretty icy/snowy with the conditions during our stay. AWD/4x4 suggested for getting in and out of the sloped driveway.

Perfect for large groups
Originally planned for a group of 12, but only 9 of us ended up coming, and there was more than enough space and beds. Was really great to have multiple full bathrooms, especially after long days of skiing. The East Vail shuttle picks up about a block down across the street from the house, which was extremely convenient since it's hard to find free parking around Vail. The house was well decorated, cozy, had a well stocked kitchen (oil, coffee, spices, cooking supplies, etc), and was easy to find. My only complaint was that some of the towels looked a little dirty or stained (in all fairness though, I didn't let the host know), but otherwise this was a very lovely stay and I would highly recommend!

AvantStay is awesome!
We found out at the last minute that the Bighorn property had a leak, so AvantStay moved us to another property in the area at no additional cost. This is an advantage of booking a host like AvantStay that owns multiple properties. AvantStay communicated with us frequently and promptly responded to all our requests.

Vail Bighorn house rental
This 5 bedroom with 4 1/2 bathrooms Vrbo was in a convenient location on the outskirts of Vail, and a great value for the price. The open concept kitchen, dining and living rooms were perfect for our group. One recommendation is to replace the open uneven steep flight of stairs to the second floor bedroom with a standard enclosed staircase. It’s quite treacherous the way it’s currently constructed, and unsafe for children and many adults.

Enjoyable place to stay, cleaning could have been better
Overall we enjoyed our time here. It’s a nice property with a nice deck and hot tub that we enjoyed hanging out on. It’s super close to the free shuttle to town which was great. Only thing was cleaning could have been better. While it was obvious the place had been cleaned, there were a few things that were a little disconcerting: there was a stain on the floor of one of the downstairs bedrooms- totally understand that some stains don’t come out completely, but we were able to clean some of it up pretty easily which makes us think it hadn’t been given too much attention. Also, while the beds were made with what at first appeared to be clean sheets, a few sheets on the beds had rips and stains, one of which also smelt. Thankfully they did have a supply of spare, clean sheets in the laundry room to replace them with. Hate to leave a kind of negative review but thought these few things were worth mentioning. Minus these things the place was very relaxing and we enjoyed our stay.

Nice and spacious property close to amazing hikes and nature activities. Quiet neighbors. Overall cleanliness was good. 4 stars instead of 5 because house was not completely ready when we arrived at check-in time: hot tub was not filled and code to enter did not work for about an hour after check-in time. After initial hiccups, we had a wonderful stay! Thank you!
