Betty Ford Alpine Gardens, the Village of Vail (which is very charming, as it is decorated like a Bavarian village), Gore Creek, and the view of mountain ranges
Best Things About the Resort:
There is a friendly staff and people. The owners’ barbeque lunch was well attended. You can rent videos for $2, the pool table cost $1, and there is free coffee, tea, and lemonade in the lobby, plus newspapers and lots of brochures on nearby activities. The location of this resort is great, as so many things are within walking distance. The market is a short car ride, and there are fast-food places outside the village, but near the markets, if you are craving the McDonald’s and vast variety. We ate out and made breakfast in the room.
Resort Experience:
The units are large but rustic and showing their wear. For example, the lampshades and patio screen door was torn. The bedroom was a nice size. We especially liked having two full baths. You could easily sleep two more people in the living room, though you have to fold up the sofa bed during the day.
The kitchen had everything you would need. We sat at the countertop for breakfast, but the closet had a folding table and four chairs.
We saw our neighbors but never heard them, so I imagine the units are well insulated. The cleaning staff did a thorough cleaning one day and came in for a towel exchange another day during our 1-week stay.
The front desk will book activities for you and make recommendations, but we did not use them for this. We were fortunate with warm weather. The skies are blue.
