Manor Vail Colorado Ski Vacation Packages


Manor Vail, located across the street from the Golden Peak Chairlift and an incredible beginner ski school. Manor Vail is also a short stroll from the Vail Village where a good amount of the world class restaurants, shops and night life can be found. Most of the units have incredible views of the ski area.
I toured this property on September 16 and was pleasantly surprised at the amount of units that were renovated and rated Gold or Platinum. The living rooms are large, the furnishings are updated and the entire complex feels comfortable. Your family will absolutely LOVE IT!!

Colorful Fall Hike from Aspen to Crested Butte

Sept 10, my dog, Izzo, and my friends hiked from the Maroon Bells trailhead near Aspen Highlands to Crested Butte 10 miles away.
We all spent Friday and Saturday at the beautiful, pet friendly, ski-in, ski-out, luxury Elevation Lodge and Spa.  We made use of the pool and hot tub after the 6 hour hike and then had dinner at the Avalanche Bar and Grill.
Sept 11, I toured a majority of the Ski-in, Ski-out properties in Crested Butte. Thanks to Geoff for his tips and guidance. I now know more than ever about the lodging at the base of the Crested Butte ski area!!
That afternoon, we enjoyed the Beer and Chili festival with music by Otis Taylor! Incredible, sunny afternoon at the base of Crested Butte, Colorado.
We enjoyed more music and pizza at the Firehouse Grill located in the Plaza condominiums which are only a few steps to the slopes. What a convenient place.
Once again I would like to thank Geoff for his hospitality that day. Crested Butte is just a fun place, everyone was very accommodating and it was an incredibly relaxing weekend!!
Sept 12, we hiked back under cloudless, blue Colorado skies, while the Denver Broncos were losing to the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Call me at 888-267-5475 x 19 to talk about your next Crested Butte Colorado vacation. What an experience!!

Beaver Run Resort and Mi Casa review, Breckenridge Colorado

Dear Brian
Thanks for your speedy reply. We've stayed at Beaver Run three times before but always in a Deluxe studio in building 4. Now that the children are getting older they need more space and their own beds! (They're 10 and 12) Some friends of ours had a 2 bed condo in building 2 last season on the 6th floor which made us decide to go for one ourselves this year. I imagine they're all much the same. As your price beats the discounted 'returning guest' price that Beaver Run are offering us if we book direct I think we would like to book your condo please.

Are we able to pay just a deposit for the $1218 now and the balance nearer the time?

Oh, and by the way, I noticed in your 'Owner description' that Tracey is GM of Mi Casa. We have eaten there every time we come to Breck and even one time we ate there when were staying in Copper! Great restaurant with a great atmosphere and service.

kind regards

Kati

One Ski Hill Place- Luxury ski-in, ski-out in Breckenridge Colorado

Hi Brian!

We just returned last night from Colorado. One Ski Hill Road resort
was beautiful, and our rooms could not have been more perfect. Thank

We found lots to do for our group of 18! The pools, the gondola to
town, bowling alley, the center square and stream for kids to play in,
the fun park, hikes, golf, water rafting and bike riding ....

I appreciate your helpfulness in helping us organize this family vacation!
