The 2026 / 27 season · Vail Village, Colorado

The whole winter,
one address

The gondola end of Bridge Street.

A five-bedroom home at the top of Bridge Street, sixty seconds from Gondola One, available for the entire 2026/27 season rather than a week at a time. One lease, one household, from the first storm to the last corn snow in April.

The home

Everyone in one place

The usual version of a winter in Vail is a rental you have never seen, booked from a photograph, in a building you have to drive to. This is a five-bedroom home at the top of Bridge Street, and for one winter it belongs to one household.

Five real bedrooms and four full bathrooms means ten people genuinely fit, with a proper bed each and no queue in the morning. Evenings happen in one room, around one fire, which is the reason people booked a trip together in the first place.

Vail has several base areas and a lot of lifts. Vail Village is the one people mean, and Gondola One is its main lift, the one the restaurants, the bars and the shopping are all arranged around. Bridge Street is the pedestrian street that runs up to it, closed to cars, and we are at the top of it. Christy Sports is downstairs in our own building, ten feet from the door, so clipping in and clipping out really is a sixty-second affair.

Five bedrooms Sleeps ten Town of Vail STR #042678

The balcony

The great room

Where the day ends up

A stone fireplace, seating for ten, and balcony doors onto Bridge Street. Everyone piles in here at four in the afternoon with boots off, and again at ten at night.

Five bedrooms

A real bed for everyone

Five proper bedrooms rather than four and a sofa bed. Ten people, ten actual beds, and nobody drawing the short straw when they walk in the door.

4 full bathrooms

Nobody waiting in the hall

Four full baths for ten people. It is the difference between the whole group making first chair and half of it missing the lift.

The kitchen

Cook for ten, or don't

A full kitchen with an island, so the group can eat together without anyone booking a table for ten. The village restaurants are two minutes away for the nights nobody wants to cook.

2 balconies over main village street

Bridge Street

One off the great room and one off the primary bedroom, both looking down onto Bridge Street and up at the mountain. Guests write about these without being asked.

:60 to Gondola One

Not just any lift

Gondola One is the main lift out of Vail Village, and the one the whole village is built around. It is sixty seconds up the street. Clip in at the door, clip out at the door, and never move the car all week. Christy Sports is downstairs on the corner of our building, about ten feet from the front door, for boots, tuning and rentals.

Sleeping & layout

Ten people, five doors

Eight beds across five bedrooms and four full bathrooms. Everyone gets a real bed, and nobody is sleeping in the room everyone else walks through.

Bedroom 1

Primary

1 king · private balcony · village view

The best view in the home, with its own door onto the balcony over Bridge Street.

Bedroom 2

Second king

1 king · air conditioned · village outlook

Far enough from the great room that someone can turn in early while the fire is still going.

Bedroom 3

The twin room

2 beds · air conditioned · balcony door

Two separate beds and its own door to the outside. This is the room that makes a group of ten actually work.

Bedroom 4

Fourth bedroom

2 beds · quiet side

Two more real beds behind a door that closes, on the quiet side of the home.

Bedroom 5

The bunk room

Built-in bunks · sleeps 2

A proper built bunk in solid timber, not a sofa bed. Claimed before anyone has unpacked.

Racks of skis, boards and poles on a herringbone oak wall in the entry at 291 Bridge Street

Street level

Nobody carries a ski up a staircase

Skis, boards and poles go on racks a few steps inside the building door, at street level, so wet gear comes off downstairs and stays downstairs. To be straight with you, these are in the entry the building shares with the other residences rather than a locked private locker, so treat them the way you would a rack outside a mountain restaurant. Christy Sports is on the corner of the same building, about ten feet away, for tuning, demos and anything you forgot.

What’s rare about it

:60 to Gondola OneNot a shuttle, not a bus, not a five-minute walk in ski boots. Up the street and you are clipping in. Christy Sports is downstairs in our own building for boots, tuning and rentals.
Five bedrooms, not four and a sofa bedTen people, ten real beds, five doors that close. Almost nothing else on this street sleeps ten without someone drawing the short straw.
4 full bathroomsThe difference between the whole group making first chair and half of it missing the lift.
2 balconies over main village street (Bridge St)One off the great room, one off the primary bedroom. Guests write about these without being asked.
Ski racks at street levelRacks for skis, boards and poles a few steps inside the building door, so boots come off downstairs and stay downstairs. They sit in the shared entry rather than a private locker, but it means nothing wet or heavy is carried up the stairs.
Across the street from the Red LionA Vail institution since 1963. Apres is thirty seconds away, and so is breakfast at Joe’s.
You never move the carBridge Street is closed to cars. Park once at the structure at the bottom of the street and forget about it until Friday.

A winter here

What a season actually looks like

Across the street

The Red Lion, since 1963

Red umbrellas, a patio, and a singalong most afternoons. It is the first thing you see out the front door, and the easiest possible answer to where should we go.

Four in the afternoon

Apres, properly

Boards against the rail, a board of cheese on the table, and nobody in a hurry to change out of their gear. This is what the balconies are for.

First chair

Corduroy, before anyone else

Sixty seconds from the door to Gondola One means you are on the hill while other groups are still finding parking.

The whole group

Ten people, one mountain

Vail is 5,300 acres and seven Back Bowls, which is enough terrain that the beginners and the strong skiers can both have a good day.

Ski school mornings

Boots on at the door

Christy Sports is downstairs for rentals and boot fitting. Private lessons meet a minute away by the gondola, children's group lessons at Golden Peak.

Mid-morning

A slopeside Bloody Mary

Vail has an unusually serious relationship with the Bloody Mary. Consider it research.

Any evening

The village, five minutes before dinner

Everything on the guide below is a walk from here, on a street closed to cars, with the Gore Range at the end of it.

The 2026 / 27 season

Take the winter, not the week

The home is available for the whole of this coming season on one lease. You move in before the mountain opens properly and you leave when it closes. Nothing to book, nothing to pack up on a Sunday, nothing to hand back until spring.

The dates

Every week worth having is already yours

Christmas here. New Year here. MLK, Presidents weekend, spring break, and the four days in March when it snows two feet and nobody saw it coming. You are not watching a calendar, refreshing a rate or explaining to the kids that the good week was gone in August. The whole winter is spoken for, and you are the one who spoke for it.

The address

You unpack in November and that is the last of it

Skis on the rack downstairs, boots in the closet, the good coats on the hooks, the coffee where you like it. No check-in, no key handover, no packing the car on a Sunday afternoon, no shipping a bag ahead or buying gloves you already own. Gondola One is sixty seconds up the street, Christy Sports is on the corner of the building, and Bridge Street is closed to cars, so once you are here you stay put.

The people

The door stays open all winter

Grandparents in January, friends who keep saying they will come out in February, your kids and three of their friends over spring break. Five bedrooms and four full bathrooms means yes is an easy answer rather than a hotel booking. This is the address everyone in Vail walks past, and for one winter they are walking past it to get to you.

What is included

The home, furnishedExactly as photographed. Five bedrooms, four baths, both balconies, the kitchen, the fireplace.
Utilities, heat and wifiNothing metered back to you, and nothing to set up in your own name.
HOA dues and building costsIncluding the ski racks and the shared entry at street level.
The licenseTown of Vail short-term rental license #042678 is in place and stays in place.

What is not

Housekeeping and linensWe will introduce you to the people who clean it now, and you take it from there.
ParkingThe Vail Village structure is at the bottom of the street. Season passes are sold by the town, not by us.
Lift passesObviously. But Gondola One is sixty seconds away, which is the point.

The terms, plainly

Term: The full winter, one lease, one named tenant
Occupancy: Ten people
Deposit: To be agreed, held against the home rather than the rent
Payment: Split across the season, terms open to discussion
Pets: No
Smoking: No, anywhere, including the balconies
Subletting: No. One household, or one group who all know each other

Anything here is worth a conversation. If your dates are close but not exact, or your group is arranged differently, say so below and we will tell you straight whether it works rather than leaving you to guess.

Book for Season

Where it sits

Everything within a few minutes

Vail Village is small and closed to cars, which means most of this list is a walk rather than a drive. We are at the top of Bridge Street by the gondola, so the whole village is downhill from the front door.

The village guide

Vail Village is small. Everything in the first group is a walk of a few minutes at most.

Red Lion

American, big and loud

Across the street

Straight across Bridge Street from the front door. A Vail institution since 1963, striped umbrellas, live music, a patio built for a group that has just come off the hill. The default when nobody can decide.

Joe's Famous Deli

Deli and ice cream

Across the street

Breakfast bagels, sandwiches to carry up the mountain, and the sundaes it is actually famous for. The one place you can get to in ski boots without thinking.

Pepi's

Austrian

Two minutes

The orange umbrellas on the corner, going since 1964. Schnitzel, a large beer, and the most photographed patio in the village.

Sweet Basil

New American

Three minutes

MICHELIN Recommended, open since 1977, and the room Vail books for the night that matters. Reserve well ahead in season.

Mountain Standard

Wood fire, American

Three minutes

From the Sweet Basil team, creekside, almost everything cooked over live fire. Livelier than its sibling and easier with a group.

Vendetta's

Italian and pizza

Two minutes

Forty years on Wall Street, just off Bridge. The downstairs bar is where locals end up, and it is the answer for late pizza when nobody wants to cook.

El Segundo

Modern Mexican

Three minutes

A big deck over Gore Creek. Walk-in friendly, good for ten, and the tequila list makes it an apres option too.

Elway's

Steakhouse

Four minutes

At The Lodge at Vail. The big-group steak dinner. Reserve ahead in season.

Osaki's

Sushi and omakase

Five minutes

MICHELIN Recommended and genuinely tiny, a handful of counter seats. Booking is unusual: they take calls only after they open, and only a day ahead. Worth the effort for two to four, not for the whole house.

Matsuhisa Vail

Japanese

Five minutes

Nobu Matsuhisa's Vail room. Also does takeout, which is the quiet trick for a night in.

Zuma

Japanese izakaya

Seven minutes

At The Sebastian, and the group's first mountain location in the United States. Robata counter, sushi bar, and a room with some noise in it.

Alpenrose

Austrian and German

Five minutes

A landmark since 1974. Fondue, mulled wine, and a patio that works with children in tow.

La Nonna

Italian

Five minutes

Pasta made fresh daily, and calmer than most of the village. Seasonal, so check before you walk over.

Avanti F and B

Food hall

Eight minutes

Five independent kitchens, two bars and a large patio at Golden Peak. The answer when ten people want ten different dinners.

Blue Moose Pizza

Pizza

Lionshead

Ten to fifteen minutes on foot, or one stop on the free bus. The reliable takeout order for a house full of tired skiers.

The gondola unloads at the top of the street, which is why this block gets loud at four in the afternoon.

Express Lift

At the gondola base

One minute

The closest true ski-off-and-sit-down in Vail. Beer, comfort food and a DJ, right where you step out of your bindings.

Root and Flower

Wine bar

Across the street

Fifty-odd wines by the glass, and they run tastings and cocktail classes if you want to build an afternoon around it.

Gorsuch Ski Cafe

Cafe and cocktails

One minute

At the top of Bridge Street. Irish coffee and a seat right where the hill lets you out.

10th Mountain Whiskey

Tasting room

One minute

Colorado whiskey, vodka and moonshine, with a view down to the Covered Bridge.

Bad Kitty Lounge

Cocktail bar

One minute

Speakeasy-shaped and dimly lit. The grown-up nightcap after the group has gone to bed.

Blu Cow

Hot dogs and beer

One minute

Swiss hot dogs, a patio, live music. Cheap, cheerful and open late.

King's Club

Hotel bar

Six minutes

At the Sonnenalp. Live music, a fireplace and proper cocktails. The quiet option.

Garfinkel's

Slopeside deck

Lionshead

A big deck at the base of the Eagle Bahn with Colorado beer and a mountain in front of you.

The condo has its own coffee setup. These are for the mornings you want to walk out for one.

Two Arrows Coffee Bar

Coffee, then cocktails

One minute

On Wall Street, effectively next door. Color Coffee out of Eagle by day, bagels from Village Bagel, and DJs at night.

Joe's Famous Deli

Bagels

Across the street

Breakfast bagels thirty seconds from the door, which matters more than it sounds at seven in the morning.

Loaded Joe's

Coffee and breakfast burritos

Five minutes

The earliest reliable opening in the village, and a bar with karaoke by night.

Yeti's Grind

Coffee and panini

Four minutes

Corvus Coffee, breakfast burritos and baked goods. Two locations, the Solaris one is the easy walk.

Unravel Coffee

Specialty coffee

Six minutes

At Gravity Haus. Ethiopian single origin, nitro cold brew and house pastries.

Ludwig's at the Sonnenalp

Sit-down breakfast

Six minutes

A proper hotel breakfast when somebody in the group wants a tablecloth.

Vail Village is pedestrian. Real grocery runs happen by car or on the free bus, so plan the first one before you arrive.

Vail Fine Wines

Wine, beer and spirits

Three minutes

The one full liquor store actually inside the village. Walkable with a case, which is the whole point.

The Market at Vail

Full-service market

Lionshead

The closest real market to the village, ten to fifteen minutes on foot or one bus stop, with a liquor store next door.

Safeway, West Vail

Supermarket

Short drive or bus

Bakery, deli, butcher and a Starbucks, and it does pickup and delivery. For ten people, ordering ahead is the sane move.

City Market, West Vail

Supermarket and pharmacy

Short drive or bus

The other big shop, with a pharmacy on site.

Alpine Wine and Spirits

Liquor, delivered

West Vail

Inside the City Market building. Four sommeliers, strong on allocated bourbon and Colorado beer, and they deliver.

DeliZioso

Deli and market

Five minutes

European-style boutique market in the village. Charcuterie, cheese and prepared food to carry back.

Vail Farmers' Market

Sundays in summer

Five minutes

On East Meadow Drive, mid-June to early October, with more than 150 vendors. There is a smaller Thursday market at the International Bridge.

Gondola One is at the top of the street. This is the reason to stay on Bridge Street rather than anywhere else in Vail.

Gondola One

The lift

About a minute on foot

The main lift out of Vail Village, and the reason this street exists. Sixty seconds from the door, at the top of Bridge Street, so you clip in and clip out at street level. It runs to Mid-Vail in winter and to the hiking and biking trails in summer. Vail has other bases, Lionshead and Golden Peak among them, but this is the one the village is built around.

Christy Sports

Rentals and tuning

Downstairs

Downstairs on the corner of our own building, about ten feet from the front door. Skis, boards, boot fitting, tuning, and bikes in summer. Kids rent free with a qualifying adult rental, and booking ahead saves twenty percent.

Private lessons meeting point

Ski school

About a minute

Vail Village private lessons gather northeast of Gondola One. Children's group lessons run from the Golden Peak Children's Center, about eight minutes east.

Mid-Vail and The 10th

On-mountain dining

Top of Gondola One

Mid-Vail is the natural lunch stop straight off the gondola. The 10th is the full-service room upstairs and needs a reservation.

The Back Bowls

2,785 acres

Beyond the front side

Seven bowls and forty-seven trails across Sun Down, Sun Up, Tea Cup, China, Siberia and the two Mongolias, with Blue Sky Basin beyond. This is what the mountain is famous for.

Eagle Bahn Gondola

Second gondola

Lionshead

Ten to fifteen minutes on foot or one bus stop. It serves Eagle's Nest and, in summer, Epic Discovery.

Vail out of ski season is a genuinely different holiday, and a much cheaper one.

Betty Ford Alpine Gardens

Highest botanical garden in North America

Ford Park

At 8,200 feet, open daily dawn to dusk, no admission charge. A short walk or bus ride east, and downhill on the way in.

Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater

Outdoor music and dance

Ford Park

Fifteen to twenty minutes on foot. Home to Bravo! Vail, the Vail Dance Festival, Hot Summer Nights and touring acts all summer.

Bravo! Vail Music Festival

Late June to early August

Ford Park

Resident orchestras rotate through, including the New York Philharmonic.

Vail Dance Festival

Late July into August

Ford Park

Around two weeks of performances, plus free community events and talks.

GoPro Mountain Games

Early June

Throughout Vail

Kayaking, climbing, trail running, bouldering and dog events, with live music alongside.

Vail Oktoberfest

September

Lionshead, then the village

Two weekends, one in each village.

Piney River Ranch

Piney Lake

About 45 minutes

Twelve miles up an unpaved but two-wheel-drive road. Canoes and paddleboards on the lake, fly fishing, horseback riding, a restaurant, and a six-mile trail to waterfalls.

Gore Creek and the Streamwalk

On foot from the door

Village

Gold Medal water for fly fishing runs straight through the village. The Streamwalk is paved and pedestrian only, and the Gore Valley Trail runs twelve miles from West to East Vail.

Berry Picker Trail

The walk-from-here hike

Lionshead

The one real hike you can start on foot. Strenuous, 2,286 feet of climbing. Most people walk up and ride the gondola down.

Shrine Ridge

Wildflowers

Vail Pass

Moderate, 2.2 miles, and the best wildflower hike in the area in mid to late summer.

The village does this well, and most of it is walkable.

Colorado Snowsports Museum

Free

Three minutes

On the third level of the Vail Village parking structure at the bottom of the street. Olympic and 10th Mountain Division exhibits, and a history walking tour twice a week.

Solaris ice rink

Winter

Four minutes

The closest skating to the door, right in the village. Arrabelle in Lionshead is outdoors and prettier, and Dobson Arena is indoors and open year round.

DECA and BOL

Bowling

Four minutes

Ten custom lanes with a restaurant attached at Solaris. Reservations required, and it is the reliable teenager evening.

Rabbit Hole

Arcade

Village

Neon-lit, Mario Kart and Skee-Ball, all ages before ten at night.

Children's Fountain

Free

A few minutes

In front of the candy shop. The reliable let-them-run-around stop.

Epic Discovery at Eagle's Nest

Summer only

Via the Eagle Bahn

A 3,400-foot mountain coaster, ziplines, tubing, a 35-foot climbing wall and mini golf, at 10,350 feet. Summer through early September, and reachable only by gondola.

Imagination Station

Ages two to twelve

Lionshead

Above the Lionshead welcome center. Pottery, science projects, a wind tunnel and VR rooms. The rainy-day answer.

Vail Skatepark

Free

Lionshead

Half pipe, mini bowl and rails, with mosaic murals.

The short list of things guests ask before they arrive.

Getting here

Two airports

Denver International is roughly a two-hour drive. Eagle County Regional is about forty minutes, and several companies run private vans from Denver.

The free bus

Year round

The Town of Vail runs one of the largest free bus systems in the country, connecting the village, Lionshead and the rest of town. Live arrival times at ride.vail.gov. Fare-free regional service reaches Avon, Beaver Creek and Edwards.

Parking

Vail Village structure

Bottom of the street

The Vail Village parking structure sits at the far end of Bridge Street, a few minutes' walk downhill. Rates change between winter and summer, so check vail.gov before you arrive. Donovan Park offers free day parking with a shuttle.

Walking the village

Pedestrian only

Bridge Street runs from the Covered Bridge at the bottom up to Gondola One at the top, and we are at the gondola end. Everything else in the village, including the parking structure, is downhill from here. Lionshead is ten to fifteen minutes on foot, or one stop on the bus.

Medical

Vail Health

About ten minutes

Vail Health Hospital is on the South Frontage Road with a 24-hour emergency department. Vail Urgent Care is on the same campus and takes walk-ins, though weekend hours vary by season.

Short-term rental license

Town of Vail

This home is licensed and registered with the Town of Vail. The number is at the foot of this page.

Seasonal hours change constantly in a ski town. Worth a call before you walk over.

Before you ask

Practical things

Is the whole winter the only option?

For this season, yes. The home is being let once, on one lease, rather than turned over thirty times between November and April. If your dates are close but not exact, say so in the message and we will tell you honestly whether it works instead of leaving you guessing.

Can two or three families take it together?

Yes, and five bedrooms is the reason that works. One named tenant signs and is responsible; how the households arrange it between themselves is up to them. Ten people is the ceiling, the same as it has always been.

Is it furnished?

Fully, exactly as photographed. Beds, linens to start you off, the kitchen, the fireplace tools, the lot. You arrive with clothes and skis.

What is actually included in the price?

The home furnished, all utilities and heat, wifi, and the HOA dues. Housekeeping, linens after the first set and parking are yours. There is a full breakdown in The season above, and nothing is hidden behind it.

Where does the ski gear go?

On racks at street level, a few steps inside the building door, so nothing wet gets carried upstairs. They are in the entry shared with the rest of the building rather than a locked private locker, which is worth knowing if you are traveling with something you would rather not leave out. Christy Sports is on the corner of the same building for tuning and rentals.

Do we need a car?

For getting here, yes or a shuttle. Once you arrive, no. Bridge Street is pedestrian, the village is a few minutes on foot, and the town bus is free and runs year round. Over a season that stops being a convenience and starts being the whole point.

Where do we park?

The Vail Village parking structure is at the bottom of the street, a few minutes downhill. The town sells season passes for it, and the rate changes between winter and summer, so check vail.gov before you commit.

Is this a legal, licensed rental?

Yes. Town of Vail short-term rental license #042678, shown at the foot of every page, and it stays in place for the term.

What happens after I send a message?

Nothing is committed. We read it, answer your questions properly, and if it looks like a fit we talk about dates and terms from there. No application fee, no credit check attached to an inquiry.

Guests

Five stars, and a perfect five for location.

Across every review to date. Location is the one nobody argues with, because the gondola really is at the top of the street.
