The Property:
You enter the lower level, which is where you'll find bedrooms 2 and 3. Bedroom 2 is the larger of the two. It has 2 Twin beds that can be converted into a King prior to your arrival, with advance request. Bedroom 3 has a Twin over Full bunk bed, so it can work for a couple, 2 or 3 kids, singles, whatever you need. This room also has a TV that you can enjoy from bed. Both of these ground floor bedrooms have tongue and groove wood ceilings and exposed beams which create an authentic mountain west style. The bathroom off the hall is a good size, with a large vanity that makes sharing easy. Also on this lower level is the washer and dryer, plus some storage for shoes and boots, jackets and hats.
The middle level of the home is one large open room. The vaulted ceilings, skylights, and two story windows give it a very spacious feel. The wood burning fireplace and the tasteful leather furniture, brand new in May 2021, make this a warm and comfortable place to relax. The large HDTV can be viewed from anywhere in the room, including the kitchen and bar. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need and more. You'll find an assortment of spices, oils, condiments and coffee supplies. Also, don't be surprised if you find a little welcome basket when you arrive! The kitchen features solid slab granite counters, beautiful cabinetry, tile backsplash and stainless steel range. The kitchen flows through to the dining area, which seats 6. Off the living and dining area is the deck. On one side you have a table and chairs. To the other, a gas grill with accompanying utensils. The open space below and around this side of the building is a pleasant backdrop, making this a nice place to enjoy a cup of coffee or lunch.
In this home, there are lots of little things that tie the design and decor together. Iron railings bordering the stairs one side of the living room matches the iron of the spiral staircase which leads to the master suite. This bedroom is technically a loft, since there is not a door, but a set of thick curtains to make this space private from the living room below. This master suite has a Queen bed, a TV, and vaulted ceilings. There are skylights in both the bedroom area and the private bathroom, where you can take a shower bathed in natural light.
Location:
The Interlochen Condominiums are condominiums and townhomes in West Vail South. The condominiums are along I-70 and S Frontage Road West, but this townhome is behind the condos, over by Gore Creek, which gives it a quieter and more peaceful setting. The location is also very convenient. Vail's free bus system picks up and drops off right next to the development, less than 100 yards from your door. The location is serviced by the Red and Green lines, which provide service to Cascade chairlift, Lionshead, Vail Village, as well as the grocery stores found in West Vail North. They go opposite directions, so wherever you're headed, you have a short, direct route. Green goes straight to the grocery stores and is more direct coming home from the slopes. Red is more direct going to the slopes or home from the grocery stores. Check the Town of Vail website for up to date schedules, and smartphone apps for real time bus locations. Do you have kids? Stephens Park is only 1/3 of a mile away and includes a playground. You can also hop on the either bus line to check out Donovan Park or Red Sandstone Park.
Arrival, Access, and Parking:
Once you book, we're here to support you. We offer professional concierge services, provide you with arrival instructions, and answers to any specific questions you might have. Accessing this property does require stairs. You go down a short flight of stairs from the parking area, follow a walkway, and then down a few more stairs right by the property itself. The property comes with two reserved parking spaces. It's one car width wide but two cars in length. So you double park "bumper to bumper" If you will have a 3rd vehicle, there is a limited amount of additional, unassigned parking available on a first come first serve basis. Sorry, trailers are not allowed, unless you have just one vehicle and a short trailer that will fit into the reserved spaces.

As such, all amenities can not be guaranteed to be available at all times. Please advise us when or before booking if you have questions about a specific property amenity so that we can give you the most accurate information possible for your dates.
** Air Conditioning - Most mountain resort properties were not built with air conditioning. During most hours of the day and weeks of the year, AC is not needed. Summer nights are cool and fans are provided at most properties. Check the average high and low temperatures and weather forecast for your dates of travel, and look at the list of amenities to see if AC or fans are part of the rental property and look for ceiling fans in photos.
** Group Sizes, High Occupancy Fees, & Maximum Occupancy - Some properties use a “High Occupancy Fee” to “raise the rate” for larger groups, and are thus able to list a lower nightly rate for smaller groups. Each rental agreement and associated rates are for a specific group size. Guests must enter the correct and maximum group size at the time of booking. The agreement requires a guest to confirm the group size and subsequently, to disclose any changes to the planned group size, which may result in an increase, or decrease, to the total cost, and may result in a security deposit becoming required.
** Video & Noise Monitoring - Please note that noise monitoring devices, and security cameras, do exist on the exterior of the property. Cameras are positioned to cover all entrances and exits of the home. Cameras are present to ensure the property remains secure and safe, as well as to ensure that guests are honest and upfront about their planned use of the property. If you plan to bring more people than you've indicated, more dogs than indicated, to host a party or event, or do not intend to respect neighbors or the value and quality of the property, then this is not the place for you, and you should not book the property. For normal, respectful groups, we are sorry that these statements and measures are necessary. Security cameras and noise monitoring devices are an example and demonstration that the property's owners are taking steps to ensure the home remains available for rental, and in good condition, for your benefit. Please let us know if you have any concerns.
** Cleaning Fees & Lengthy Rental Periods - The standard cleaning fee quoted as part of any booking is for the final cleaning, which is to be performed after the rental period has ended.

If you are booking for a lengthy stay, please contact us before booking online to discuss your group, your dates, the rates, the cleaning schedule, etc.
