VAIL'S MOUNTAIN HAUS AT THE COVERED BRIDGE, Vail

Eagle County Regional Airport is 56 km away. The property sits at the core of Vail Village with restaurants, bars and shops all within a short walk. The town shuttle stops at the door for trips to Lionshead or other parts of Vail. The Vail Nordic Center and Vail Golf Club are 3 km away, and Frisco Historic Park is 42 km from the lodge.

One- to three-bedroom apartments are available in mountainside or valleyside configurations. All units include a fully equipped kitchen with a stovetop, oven, refrigerator and dishwasher, plus a flat-screen TV and free Wi-Fi. The three-bedroom penthouse on the mountainside features a spacious layout with mountain views from its balcony. Some valleyside units face the parking structure; selecting a mountainside room improves the outlook. Rooms have heating but no air conditioning, which is acceptable in the mountain climate. North-facing units overlook the parking lot, while south-facing rooms provide mountain views.

The property does not have a restaurant or serve breakfast. The George is located in the building and serves lunch and dinner with a lively bar. Its happy hour runs from 15:00 to 19:00. Dozens of restaurants and cafés are within a 0.5 km walk, including Sweet Basil, Up the Creek Bar & Grill, Russell's Restaurant and Starbucks. The full kitchen in each apartment allows self-catering, and grocery deliveries are available for an additional charge.

The wellness facilities include a free spa and wellness centre with a sauna, steam room, hot tubs (both indoor and outdoor) and a massage chair. The heated outdoor swimming pool is covered and open all year, with a shallow end and towels provided. The fitness centre is free.

The 24-hour front desk and concierge assist with arrangements. Luggage storage is free. A complementary laundry room with detergent is available for guests. Ski equipment hire is on-site. The property offers a paid shuttle service, but no airport shuttle. There is an electric vehicle charging station and a business centre with free fax and photocopying.
