~~ GORE CREEK LODGE ~~

ONE OF THE MOST LUXURIOUS VACATION RENTALS IN VAIL!

Relax in this luxury West Vail home, which has been completely rebuilt to the highest standards in 2012. Gore Creek Lodge is platinum rated by the Vail Valley Partnership Lodging Quality Assurance Program.

Enjoy the spectacular mountain views from the giant wall of windows in the Great Room while you relax in front of the wide fireplace with floor-to ceiling stone surround. The home has seven spacious bedrooms, and sleeps 14.

Gore Creek Lodge is the definition of 'Mountain Modern,' with contemporary architecture featuring bright open-plan living spaces with wide plank oak floors, and cosy carpeted bedrooms. There are three master bedrooms, featuring travertine and porcelain tiles and marble countertops. One has a large shower with integrated picture window with a view onto the aspen glade behind the house.

This custom-built home features two cedar decks, with a private high-end seven-person hot tub and entertaining area with gas grill. The professional upstairs kitchen has granite counter tops and breakfast bar that seats four. It is equipped with GE Monogram and Bosch appliances and features a cooktop with grill, convection oven, microwave/convection oven and large fridge/freezer. It is fully stocked with cookware and serving ware for holiday entertaining, and even has a large selection of dried herbs, spices and condiments.

This home features the latest high-tech gadgets. Watch NetFlix or AppleTV on the HDTV in the Great Room, with Dolby 7.1 surround sound. Watch HDTV in the upper-floor master bedroom. Use the AppleTV to stream music or videos wirelessly from your Apple mobile device to the TV and sound system, or plug in other devices using the conveniently located wall sockets. Enjoy broadband Internet using wi-fi.

The lower level features a second open-plan living area with HDTV, Premium cable with Starz and Showtime, Blu-Ray/DVD/CD and NetFlix.

The second kitchen features granite counter-tops and a spacious breakfast bar with four stools. Appliances include a fridge/freezer, oven, 4-hob cooktop, microwave and coffee maker.

The house has parking for five to six cars, depending on their size. However, we recommend the convenience of the free Vail bus.

STEPS FROM FREE VAIL BUS!

Avoid the $25/day winter parking rates in Vail Village! The house is just 1-2 minutes walk from the Ptarmigan bus stop, where you can catch the free bus to all three Vail base areas. The Cascade lift is only three minutes away, Lionshead is six minutes and Vail Village just 13 minutes. The short walk to the bus follows the valley and is easy even in ski boots.

CLOSE TO WORLD-CLASS OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES

Gore Creek Lodge is just minutes from the world-class ski resorts of Vail and Beaver Creek, and the ski areas of Bachelor Gulch and Arrowhead. Copper Mountain is 30 minutes away, and Keystone and Breckenridge about an hour. Gore Creek, a couple of minutes walk, is a Gold Medal Waters fishing location. There are just too many activities available to mention here.

About Owner - Meridith Moore

Gore Creek Lodge is owned by Meridith and Tim, our three year old daughter Ella and one-year old identical twins Jack and Finley. Tim works in IT and Meridith has her hands full with the rest!

Owner - Meridith Moore purchased this house in 2010
Why Owner - Meridith Moore chose Vail

Living in a ski resort has always been a dream of ours, and in February 2010 we finally got the opportunity to make that dream come true. We wanted to live in Vail because of the world-class skiing and summer activities, and we bought Gore Creek Lodge because of its convenient and beautiful location. We wanted to build our dream home, so looked for a house that had a great location but which needed to be remodeled. Being keen skiers we wanted a home that was a short and easy walk from the Vail bus route, which follows the valley. We were lucky enough to be able to live in the house from February 2010 to May 2011. We then moved back down to Boulder to allow the construction work to start in June. Unfortunately, due to work constraints we need to stay in Boulder for now but we’ll be visiting Vail as much as we can! So, our dream home, Gore Creek Lodge is now available for you to share. It’s a our home, not just a vacation rental, and we hope the love that we have put into building it shows. When you stay at the lodge you are our personal guests and we hope you make as many happy memories there as we expect to.

What makes this house unique

We enjoy being steps away from the free Vail bus, which means no parking fees during the day and no driving back from restaurants at night. Local bars, restaurants and supermarkets are also just 10-15 minutes walk away (or take the free bus). We love walks around the neighborhood at night, which are perfect for star gazing. Also, walks along the beautiful Gore Creek which go all the way past Cascade (~20 mins), Lionshead (~40 mins) and into Vail Village (~60 minutes).

Thanks for letting us live like the other half

Submitted: February 20, 2013 Stayed: July 2012
Thanks for letting us live like the other half (for a few days anyway). We could have enjoyed just sitting in the house, enjoying the views the entire time. I think we used everything in the gourmet kitchen and ate (and drank) like kings. We couldn't have asked for a better situation for having three couples vacationing together. You thought of everything!

Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us

We used to have a home in Vail when our children were still living at home with us. This reunion brought back many wonderful memories from skiing in the winter to heavenly summers relaxing and enjoying the beautiful weather. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. We now have more wonderful Vail memories.

I hope we make it back next year!

Submitted: February 20, 2013 Stayed: January 2013
We rented the full house, including the apartment, for 12 people. There was more than enough space and we were so very comfortable. The owners have thought of everything and there was nothing we needed that wasn't at the ready for us. I highly recommend cooking in their magnificent kitchen! Meredith and Tim responded promptly to all of our questions in the months leading up to our stay (and there were more than a few!) and did everything possible to accommodate us. They were even very nice and understanding when we missed the checkout time by 90 minutes because we didn't read our email carefully enough!

This home is 2 miles from Vail Village and although we didn't get a chance to take the shuttle, the stop was a couple houses away and it looked like it came pretty often. There is a grocery store right across the street for anything you might need. I hope we make it back next year!

We LOVED your house. LOVED it.

Submitted: February 20, 2013 Stayed: February 2013
Meridith & Tim - We LOVED your house. LOVED it. Most of our group flew in from the east coast for a fun ski week - we rented the entire house, both the main house as well as the apartment. The fact that the bus stop is about 150 feet from the front door made everything in Vail easy to reach and accessible. No one needed cars, which was really nice. The gourmet kitchen was incredibly equipped with everything we could have possibly needed - and the coffee pot with the auto timer was a nice feature so that our morning cup of joe would be ready before we ran out the door to ski. The open spaces in your house are great for large groups to have dinner, play games and just hang out. Speaking of hanging out - there was no place more enjoyed by our group than your state of the art (and extremely clean, which we were big fans of) hot tub 10 feet from the back door. This was the ultimate prize everyday after our last run on the hill. You really thought of everything when renovating this place. The rooms were extremely clean and perfectly appointed. The large number of bathrooms made it feel like everyone had their own space and no one was on top of one another. We won't hesitate to rent your house again in the future! Thanks again for everything!!
