If you have never stayed in a ski-in/ski-out property while on vacation, you are making a big mistake. There is no comparison to the convenience added when you can ski out the door in the morning and then ski home at the end of the day–no buses or shuttles required. When trying to pick out the “top 5″ ski-in/ski-out properties in Beaver Creek, I couldn’t help but picking 6. So I settled with 3 condo properties, 2 homes and 1 hotel (listed in that order). Enjoy!
The Borders Lodge in Beaver Creek may be one of the best ski-in/ski-out values in Beaver Creek. The property is just outside the Elkhorn Lift, providing access to all of Beaver Creek. The property has private ski lockers, a heated pool and a hot tub. Check out the Borders Lodge for an affordable vacation without sacrificing comfort or convenience.
The McCoy Peak Lodge offers condos that truly stand out from the rest. These luxurious slope side condos have maple wood floors and gourmet kitchens, and are just seconds from the lift! Enjoy the heated pool and hot tub, or walk out the door to the ice skating rink. These condos are a great fit for those looking for ski-in/ski-out lodging while maintaining maximum comfort.
The Snow Cloud Lodge of Bachelor Gulch in Beaver Creek offers premier lodging right on the ski slopes! This property looks out over the slopes, and is just seconds from the Bachelor Gulch Express Lift. Guests can take pride in warming up to the fireplace or hopping in the Ritz Carlton hot tub after a day of skiing when staying at the Snow Cloud Lodge.
The Strawberry Park Residence is a private estate tucked into the Strawberry Park neighborhood of Beaver Creek. This luxurious ski-in/ski-out residence is highlighted by a 3 car garage, media room, private patio and steam shower. Offering great views of the Colorado Rockies and Beaver Creek, this 6 bedroom home is a great getaway for families and groups.
The Cresta Residence is one of the nicest homes in the Arrowhead Village of Beaver Creek. This 5 bedroom ski-in/ski-out home opens right up to the slopes, with the living area opening to expansive views of the mountains. The property also has a private hot tub on its deck, and is also a great choice for family and group vacations.
6. Park Hyatt
I couldn’t write about ski-in/ski-out lodging in Beaver Creek without talking about the Park Hyatt Hotel. This magnificent property has 2 bedroom units, each complete with a deluxe kitchen, fireplace and washer/dryer. The convenience inside the rooms is equally as great when you walk outside, with some of the best skiing, shopping and dining in the Rockies. Take your pick from the many hot tubs on the property, or pay a visit to the on-site Allegria Spa to relax at the end of the day. And with on-site bars, lounges and restaurants, there’s not much to complain about at the Park Hyatt.
Enjoy surfing through our Beaver Creek ski-in/ski-out properties, and we hope to see you soon!

Vail, CO is the perfect place to invest in a fractional residence, which is essentially a modern take on the (somewhat) outdated idea of the Timeshare. With deeded interests, properties that appreciate in value, and constant upkeep of the residence, fractional residences in Vail and Beaver Creek is a smart investment and a luxurious opportunity without the bother of a second-home mortgage. Fractional residences are the perfect match for both the high-end shopper who can’t afford to waste time on the maintenance of a whole-ownership property and the young earner who isn’t quite in the market for an entire home, but can afford the indulgence of a home away from home for a couple of weeks per year.
Our Fractional Residence of the week is the Park Hyatt Beaver Creek, where vacationers can partake in everything from skiing and ice skating to fine dining, spa time at the Allegria, and quality family time to recharge the batteries while simultaneously indulging in a luxurious retreat. The Residences at Park Hyatt Beaver Creek offer shared-ownership opportunities with six 3-bedroom and nine 2-bedroom residences ranging in size from 1,400 to 2,195 feet. Each include amenities of comfort and opulence, such as Admonter mocca maple wood flooring in the kitchen, living, and dining rooms, high-speed wireless internet access, Allegria Spa Gold Membership, Granite and marble slab countertops and stone flooring in the master and second baths, and air massage tubs in the master baths!
With lavishness like this, it’s no wonder why Vail and Beaver Creek are two of the most anticipated destinations for affluent vacationers. What’s an even greater indication that these resorts are some of the most desired resorts? Our clients keep coming back each year—throughout both the winter and summer seasons—to experience time and time again the natural beauty of the Rocky Mountains with the comfort and ease of home.
Check out Park Hyatt’s website that RMVRvail provided, www.beavercreekparkhyatt.com ,and request more information with our friendly, knowledgeable, locals directly at (970) 477-1777.
Another premiere fractional residence can be found at One Willow Bridge, a beautiful destination in the heart of Vaill Village. For more information, check out www.vailonewillowbridge.com . We recommend speaking to our lodging specialists here at Rocky Mountain Vacation Rentals before going directly to a hotel or property management company, because while their inventory is spectacular, it might not fit the exact needs of you and your family. If you have a couple of moments to sit down with us and tell us exactly what you’re looking for (price range, location, quality, etc), we will do the work for you, offering you multiple options that match your requests, along with a couple options that don’t, so you can see what your designated market looks like.
What better way to celebrate our country’s independence than watching the nation’s best atheletes compete in a little contact sport? The 37th annual Vail Lacrosse Shootout is already underway and will continue to thrill Vail Valley residents through the 5th of July. The weather is perfect, the competition is fierce and the stakes are high as America’s top lacrosse players show off their talent in the Vail Shootout. Touted as one of the premier lacrosse tournaments nationwide, the Vail Shootout hosts nearly 100 men’s and women’s team from all over the United States. The best of the best—including legends Gary and Paul Gait, the Powell brothers, and two players from Syracuse’s national championship team—always jump at the opportunity to play lacrosse in one of the most beautiful settings the US has to offer.

The Vail community also hosts a variety of music festivals and other sporting events throughout the summer. However, what we all need is a little vacation and Vail is the perfect place to relax, kick back and enjoy the Colorado Mountains. 
April real estate numbers indicate a good sign and a gradual boost in Vail’s market economy.

Vail, CO is a high-worth destination market that will never be fully affected by the economic hardships that metropolitan areas are currently facing. There will always be word-class properties and high spenders to utilize them. Vail Ski Vacations.com would like to extend to each and every one of our clients beneficial information about an easy and affordable investment option called fractional ownership.
Fractional ownership is the newer, easier, and smarter version of owning a timeshare. Vail Ski Vacations.com—soon to be Rocky Mountain Vacation Rentals.com—is a third party vacation rental company with a real estate division that specializes in fractional ownership. Owning a fraction of a whole property is an affordable way to invest without a super, over-the-top second mortgage. It allows you to enjoy your residence without the headache of keeping up with the property’s utility management. Fractional ownership is a smart investment—specifically in a short-term vacation rental market like Vail— because you will continually collect payments from the lodging provider who’s supplying your property to consumers within the rental market. Because fractional properties are typically luxury rentals, you will collect a certain amount of rental income on a yearly basis.
Fractional ownership is different from timeshares in many ways. Firstly, the value of your property can appreciate. Secondly, the property is a deeded interest, so you can will it down to family members, versus only being able to have it for 30 years (with no included property restoration). The hotel, condo association, or property management company that rents out the fraction of your ownership keep up with the property in the most prestigious fashion so down the road, those fractional properties will continue to sell and resell.
What you will typically find in timeshares is that property management companies don’t put any money into the restoration of the property so at the end of a long period the timeshare property essentially depreciates in value, thus losing its market of renters.
Fractional ownership is a smarter investment for all of our clients because the price point is much more affordable, while still allowing for growth potential in the investment area. Vail is the number one ski resort in North America, and resort towns like Vail are never going to go out of business. The ski lifts are always going to run. Winter enthusiasts will always make time and effort to ski Vail and other Colorado ski resorts. And real estate companies and rental providers will always see a return on their investments.
April’s real estate numbers indicate monetary exchange and growth within the real estate market, especially those properties averaging between $500,000 and $1,000,000 (33%). These percentages denote the perfect time to invest in a Fractional and/or Private Residence club, as it is best for buyers to purchase these residences during the earlier phases, before prices increase as the project reaches sell out.
Visit our real estate division at www.vbclp.com (Vail/ Beaver Creek Luxury Properties) to find the best offers on fractional properties in exclusive locations with ease of ownership, furnished residences, included maintenance and house-keeping, investment potential and second home ownership opportunities!
