The Lodge at Lionshead in Vail is a casual condo property that best suits skiers who want more space than a traditional hotel room and a convenient base near Vail Mountain. Located along Gore Creek at the edge of Lionshead Village, the property is less than 200 yards from the Eagle Bahn Gondola, putting the lifts, ski school, equipment rentals and village amenities within an easy walk.
Accommodation ranges from studios to four-bedroom residences, with full kitchens in every condo and kitchenettes in select studios. The individual units have their own personalities, with features such as gas fireplaces, balconies or terraces, mountain and forest views, and separate living areas appearing across the collection. Some residences also have private washers and dryers, although this is not universal, so it’s worth checking the specific unit when booking. The condos are well designed to make longer ski stays comfortable.
The Lodge at Lionshead boasts a heated outdoor pool, two hot tubs and a recently remodeled fitness center with a Peloton bike. Guests also have access to ski storage, complimentary coffee, tea and snacks, and concierge assistance. One parking space is included with each condo, which is a useful perk in Vail.
When it comes to skiing, The Lodge at Lionshead gets the important part right. The Eagle Bahn Gondola is a short 5 minute walk away. After skiing, you can walk directly into Lionshead Village for restaurants, bars, shops and après. If you want to spend time in Vail Village, the complimentary in-town shuttle runs approximately every 10 minutes (or it’s around a 10–15-minute walk).
The Lodge at Lionshead is ultimately a good fit for families who seek well-equipped condos only a short walk to the gondola and surrounded by the bustling Lionshead Village.
