Aspenwood Lodge by Berkshire Hathaway  

A relaxed Vail hideaway about 2 km from downtown—close enough for après and far enough for quiet. Steps from Gore Creek and a short hop to Gopher Hill Lift and Black Forest Lift, with Betty Ford Alpine Gardens, Ski Butlers and Ford Field nearby. Amtrak bus stop is about 4 km away; Eagle County Regional Airport is roughly 62 km.

This lodge keeps things practical and cozy. Rooms come with kitchenettes—refrigerator and microwave—plus private balconies or patios. Entertainment includes cable channels and DVD players for laid-back evenings after the slopes.

Expect self-catered comfort with in-room kitchen facilities and outdoor private space. Quiet common areas make it easy to unwind. Ideal base for ski trips and long walks around town.

Convenient for working travelers and groups: free self parking onsite and easy access to local transport links and attractions.
