Steps to Gondola Sparkling Clean Charming Chalet Jacuzzi Wood Burning Fireplace

Town of Vail STR 002629
Come and stay with us and enjoy all Vail has to offer!
Your home away from home!
Just off of 'Born Free', the ski run leading to the gondola. The house is 100 yards from the ski run and overlooks the magnificent Gore Range Mountains. Named 'Chalet du Soleil', this charming four bedroom home is within easy walking distance of fine restaurants and shops. The house is on a large lot. Sledding and playing in the snow can be enjoyed by those with excess energy after skiing. We provide the sleds. The house is equipped with all the amenities you are accustomed to in your own home.

The house comfortably accommodates up to ten people. The master suite features a queen-size bed plus whirlpool tub for two (jacuzzi type) and separate shower room. The other main floor bedroom includes a queen-size bed, bath/shower, and an expansive bay window. The third bedroom on the upper floor has a queen-size bed, two twin-size beds, plenty of closet space, and a large vanity sink area.

The fourth bedroom is, in fact, an adjoining studio-apartment with king-size bed, compact kitchen and full bath. All beds are made up in the Swiss-style with comforters, extra pillows, and ironed sheets.

Smoking is not permitted.

Best Rental in Vail!
My wife and I and our 4 young kids have rented the Chalet for over 70 days over the last three years. It's become somewhat of a family tradition. There is a reason we keep coming back!! I'm having a hard time finding more great things to say about our stay that I haven't previously said, but honestly if you are thinking of coming to Vail don't lose your opportunity to stay here. Can't beat the location as it's walkable to both Lionshead and Vail village. Easy access to the mountain and gondola. Beautiful yard to hang out in in the summer. Very private. Ample Parking. Very Clean. The host, Heather, is easily accessible by text, phone or email and is absolutely top notch. Looking forward to staying again soon! Don't miss out!

value for the location and number of beds
This property has a very convenient location and is undoubtedly an amazing value during ski season. The owner's daughter acts as a manager. We stayed for nearly 3 weeks and there are a few items that, for us, were disappointing. The house is a duplex than, the efficiency that "adjoins" the property is the basement that has been built out. The upstairs bedroom is the attic. You will be asked not to venture toward the river as the owner lives in the dwelling between you and the river. Consequently, there is not really a river view and you cannot hear the river due to the steep bank and the formidable structure between you and it. Also, the "water feature" does not work - the signage around the house asking you to not allow kids to play in the water feature alludes to this being an issue for some time. Unfortunately, stagnant pools of water, even in Colorado, attract mosquitos and bugs. The water feature and trees are your only real view from the back deck, so looking at stagnant water was disappointing. Finally, the linens and bedding were of medium to poor quality. The "comforters" were as seemingly old as the house. The mattresses were cheap when they were new - many, many years ago. The mattress covers have been washed so many times they are falling apart. Apparently "Chalet style bedding" means old and falling apart in Swiss. I bought a mattress pad, new mattress cover, and sheets for the basement where my wife and I slept. The proximity to all Vail has offer is amazing.

Quaint and spacious
Lovely 4 bedroom house! Very clean. The kids loved the sleds and outdoor toys. The grandparents stayed in the lower level which is a full in-law suite. The parents and kids had the main level and loft. This is an older unit, maybe 50+ years old with updates. The kitchen is small but has everything you could want, there are plenty of cooking tools and a nice large dining table. The host, Heather was very accessible and ready to accommodate questions or requests. The walk from the Chalet to the Gondola and Lionshead area of shops and bus is pretty along Gore Creek. The walk took us about 12-15 minutes. We wanted to go back to the house and back out to the village several times per day so this walk is something to consider.

Great "Mountain Feel" Home close to the slopes!
Heather's house is a 5-star property. Surrounded by the encroaching "new money" Vail houses, this place gives the feel of an older, cozier Vail (which I prefer). Plenty of room for 3 kids and 4 adults. Ski storage, warm towering fireplace, and a well-stocked kitchen. The house is about a 5 minute walk to the slopes, and you can even "cheat" after the lifts close and walk the ski trail directly into Lionshead for restaurants and shopping. Would recommend for anyone looking for a home away from home in Vail.

Fantastic Ski Location
The property was perfect for our family and friends to enjoy a Christmas ski vacation. Just steps to the gondola in Lionshead with a cozy atmosphere and wonderful wood burning fireplace to return to after a long day of skiing. Kitchen was well equipped and Heather, the hostess, was fantastic to communicate with. We will totally be renting again in the future.

Chateau du Soleil is a great rental. Fabulous location just down from the slopes. We had a large group and it was the perfect mix of multiple bedrooms for privacy, but a large living area where we could all hang out. And Heather is great to help with anything you need. Highly recommend!

Best location in Vail (winter or summer)
Second time staying at the property (cumulative 6 week total stay). Heather, the owner, is absolutely wonderful. She has consistently gone out of her way to make our stay pleasant and has made it exceedingly easy to add in services such as additional cleanings. She even went out of her way to mail back something I left at the house. The house is charming and well kept with plenty of space and a basement apartment for the inlaws, nanny etc. Deck and outdoor space are wonderful, especially in summer! Location is perfect with easy walking access to the mountain as well as lionshead and vail village. The street is quiet and safe enough for my 5 and 6 yo kids to ride bikes. If you are considering staying here, book it! You won't regret it. Looking forward to coming back next summer (and hopefully many summers after that). Anton

A Dream vacation at a perfect and beautiful home
They say location, location, location is what sells real estate - well, it also makes for a perfect vacation home, and this one has it, right in the heart of Vail mountain and a short walk to the gondola and Lionshead. We stayed a week with four adults and five kids under six, and this home met everyone's needs. A great backyard full of snow provided ample playing space for our Florida kids who wanted to avoid coming inside and big windows for the parents to supervise. It was cold outside but always warm inside, with hot showers when needed. The fireplace was great and well-stocked for evening fires. Everything was immaculate, and the beds were comfortable. But the best part was the easy walk to and from Lionshead. Oh, and those two bags of ice we purchased for the four adults who like adult drinks - they remained outside the whole week because the ice maker was always full. The living room was super cozy, with comfortable couches and amazing throw blankets. When the kids were not watching TV the adults enjoyed playing our tunes through the home's blue tooth speakers, which were fantastic. Our host Heather was just marvelous and extremely helpful with anything we needed leading up to and during our stay. I even think she had something to do with the snow I requested. If you go to Vail - which you should, don't pass this home up!!

Best rental in Vail!
Amazing property with a great location! I didn't quite know what to expect as the photos of the property are from the winter, and we were renting in the summer. The photos accurately describe the interior (which was clean and charming), but the beautiful back yard with a stream was completely unexpected. We spent many evenings having dinner at the picnic table on the lawn. The location is second to none with easy access to Lionshead village and quick access (maybe a few hundred feet) to the ski/ hiking/ biking trails which are visible from the parking spot (as a bonus, there is enough space to park 4 cars). Heather was extremely responsive and a wonderful host. We really look forward to returning next year!

Vail Ski chalet fabulous!
This chalet adjacent to the vail lionshead ski slope and gondola was just right for our group of 7 adults. Heather was a prefect host and had everything in the home that we needed, including tp/Papertowels/firewood/fireatarters/spices and oil and much more- which was very nice. Ski decor, fireplace and large TV made for a great ski apres feeling. Walk to slopes along road took 7 minutes in ski boots(be careful it is slippery when road is wet and snowy), 10 minute walk to Lionshead and 30 minute walk to vail village along gore creek made this house easy access by foot to all of Vail. 4 parking spots give the option for easy parking as well. We loved our stay at this loving home and would definitely stay here again.
