Heart of Vail Valley-Access to Resorts, World-Class Skiing, Hiking, Rafting

Visitors from around the globe are drawn to our inviting three-bedroom condominium, which is used as a gateway to world-class skiing and snowboarding.

We are directly across I-70 from Lioinshead Resort, the most centrally located access to all of Vail Mountain. It's either a short walk, or one stop on a free bus that stops regularly for passengers directly across the condo on Lions Ridge Loop,

Besides the snowsports, apres-ski, and fine dining--visitors use our condominium year-round for near unlimited hiking, biking, and rafting.

Vail Ski Resort's reputation is merited for its powder snow and as America's largest selection of ski runs. Some skiers come exclusively to enjoy the renowned Back Bowls and Blue Sky Basin, alternatively wide open and forested ski runs that are quiet areas to ski for skiers of all abilities.

The kitchen is considered up-to-date and stocked with sufficient kitchenware to cook complete family meals. There is also a dishwasher for easy cleanup The counters are dark Silestone and the appliances are matching silver and black. VLP flooring was recently installed on the main areas of the ground floor, adding a warm look and feel.

The bathrooms, which we continue to improve, are cleaned between guests, as you'd expect, and are deep cleaned before and after each season.

We cherish our balcony, off our family room with the fireplace, which we use as a secluded reading spot while enjoying unobstructed views of the Gore Range while also listening to the rushing waters of Gore Creek just below.

You can stay connected with high-speed WiFi, and enjoy the convenience of an in-unit washer and dryer. To unwind in the evening, we will sit in front of the cozy gas fireplace and catch up on the latest TV shows on the wall-mounted smart TV.

The area also boasts top-class visual arts performances at the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater in Vail, where audience members often have access to meet some of the stars.

A half-hour drive West is one of the most spectacular drives in America, through the Glenwood Canyon. At the end, you will emerge at Glenwood Springs, a fork for the Eagle River, that has the largest heated pool, private hot spring pools, and heated sulfur caves—perfect for relaxing after a day of sport.

Great location, comfortable amenities, and privacy make our second home an easy choice for an unforgettable mountain vacation!

Beautiful Mountain Getaway
Enjoy all Vail has to offer within walking distance to town, beautiful creekside walks, or feet away from the town bus line! Hear the sound of the creek below and see views of the mountains from most rooms! Large swimming pool and two hot tubs too are perfect for a cool down too! Wonderful place to stay!

Great Vail Location with room for 6
This property has a great location with easy access to the Vail bus. The community hot tubs were an ideal way to make friends and follow up on a strenuous day skiing. I consider a return in the future.

Wonderful trip to Vail
The property is located in a convenient location. We walked to Lionshead for dinner and took the bus for our ski days. Both were great choices. The house was clean, well furnished and plenty big for our group! The property owners were also very responsive. Can’t wait to come back next year.

Not Close to Slopes
The property was located on the 5th floor, thank goodness for an elevator from floor 2 to 5. Close to shuttle stop, however, where you exited the shuttle to get to the slopes was another 15-minute walk without skis & ski boots. So, if you had to walk in boots (no way) and carry your skis, plan on 25+ minutes PLUS you better be in shape! I have been traveling west to ski for the past 30+ years and this may have been our worst experience! Had some minor issues with the property when we arrived but a phone call or two took care of them. Even though it is listed as a 6 to 8 person condo, extremely small.

Great location
This property is located right on the free bus route-no need for a car. Bedroom to full bathroom ratio was perfect. 1 bath is shared with the living area on first floorIt's only 1 stop from pedestrian bridge at Lionshead. It was so close we walked it most days. We stored our skiis and boots at Vail Tech which is right on path to lift. The owners are very attentive and responded quickly.

Love Breakaway West - great unit !
Love this location for the price! Very convenient on the bus route. This unit was great. The 3 bedrooms and 3 baths were perfect for our group. Loved the gas fireplace. Unit had everything we needed. Very comfortable place to stay with seating for all of us. (Often times places sleep more than they can sit at the table, or living room, etc). Very pleased with this unit!

Amazing Views
Property was very spacious and easily had sleeping arrangements for our group of 8. Property felt like chalet cabin. Very efficient. Was on top floor which made the views spectacular. I used the elevator however the kids loved the stairway up. Met our expectations and made for a very enjoyable family Christmas Holiday together and New Year!!!

Property needs some updating
After walking up five flights of stairs with luggage someone in our party located the elevator that starts at the second floor. Who knew? The entry walkway to the front door was worn down to the particle board underlay. Inside, the mattresses were very worn except for the master bedroom and the linens were also past their prime. Their were four wine glasses available and the screen door to the deck was propped up against the stationary door of the patio doors. One of the bathrooms had a sink that didn't drain. That said, the kitchen was well equipped. The location was good. And, the hot tub and pool were excellent. It was the end of the season so perhaps it had been overly used. Our family did enjoy our stay in Vail and with a little updating and tlc this could be a great property.

Great space but needs some TLC!
The condo had great space. Beautiful views. Perfect for 6, tight for 8. The bathrooms were dated and the unit has been rented quite a bit. It showed. The pictures on line do not reflect this. The elevator did not work 5/6 days we were there. It's a problem because the condo is on the top floor...5 flights at altitude with your luggage!! Location was fine. Shuttles to the mountain were across the street. Parking was an issue as well. There is not enough for the property and often times we had to double park.

Fine but the elevator was out of order the entire time. Not acceptable for a 5th floor unit.
The unit met the needs for our family ski vacation. However, the elevator was out of order during our entire visit from 12/26 to 1/1. We were told it has been out of order since November. This is unacceptable for a 5th floor unit.
