Charming, Modern Cabin-A house in Vail all to yourself! | House in Vail

One of the first ski cabins constructed in Vail, Columbine Cabin has been lovingly upgraded, yet retains its original charm. Deck is directly over Bighorn Creek/waterfall, Columbine Cabin is steps from hiking, biking, snowshoeing and backcountry skiing in the Eagles Nest Wilderness Area and an 8 minute walk to the free Town of Vail, electric shuttle system and 15 minute shuttle ride to VailVillage. Be mindful of your fitness level. If anyone in your group is unaccustomed to being at altitude, does not have at minimum a level of fitness, is elderly, or suffers from respiratory problems, we suggest you drive and park at the Vail Village parking lot. The cabin is not in a secluded, wilderness area, but located in an upscale neighborhood, yet just a 6-8 minutes car ride to charming Vail Village and the ski lifts of Vail Mountain. (a car is not required to stay here) Despite being close to everything, Columbine Cabin is a world apart. Private, in a desirable location the cabin provides the perfect escape for couples and small families. FOUR MAXIMUM GUESTS. NO EXCEPTIONS! See house rules for penalties if more than four guests attempt to stay here. If a guest is looking for a house for more than our maximum limit of four guests, this property will not be a good fit for you.
PLEASE READ, IMPORTANT: Many guests feel more comfortable speaking with their host before making an instant booking. VRBO (and third party booking sites) will only give potential guests /hosts each others contact information AFTER they have your money and only after a booking is confirmed on the VRBO site. Our dedicated "Columbine Cabin" Vail site contains the owner, (Aileen's), direct contact information. She hopes to speak with you to answer all your questions and possibly negotiate lower rates PRIOR to finalizing your VRBO "instant booking" on VRBO, when your payment is in most cases-non refundable. Our dedicated “Columbine Cabin Vail” website can be EASILY searched and found. Aileen can also send you sample rental paperwork so you know exactly what you will sign after making an instant booking.
NO EXCEPTIONS. ALL OUR GUESTS MUST SIGN: (this is also listed in our "house rules")
1. Columbine Cabin Rental Agreement- (must be 25 years or older to sign)
2. A credit card damage authorization form- $2,500
Please choose another property if you are uncomfortable with signing two rental forms. Contact Aileen with specific questions about necessary forms PRIOR TO making a booking, as she will be glad to provide you with a sample of these forms.
SEARCHING HINT: You are searching for a house in Vail. Right? Even though you desire a house in Vail, VRBO will provide you with accommodations in completely different ski/hiking towns in Colorado. Sometimes they are 35 minutes away from Vail. Additionally, you are searching for a "house" but 95% of the listings VRBO finds are actually apartments or condos. If you desire a house all to yourself with easy access to Vail Village and ski lifts, check the VRBO maps for exact distance from Vail Village. Homes in the Town of Vail enjoy the convenience of the free electric shuttle service to/from the resort. Be aware... VRBO might provide search results for homes in "Eagle Vail", Avon, or Minturn which do not have free electric Town of Vail shuttle service and are located 20+ minutes from Vail. Or you might see listings in Summit County, Keystone or Breckenridge which require a lengthy and a potentially dangerous winter drive over Vail Pass.
Cleaning? Our organic, cleaning protocol is thorough, allowing guests to enjoy Columbine Cabin, avoiding as many concerns as possible! Duvet covers are changed after every guest departure. (no "reused" bedspreads here)
How safe is the area?
Vail is an extremely safe community. That being said, the cabin is located across from a trailhead that can become busy in the summer. We do recommend that all doors to the cabin be locked when you are on a hike or out to dinner. Additionally, our security cameras monitor the parking and all entrances/exits. This extra layer of security isn’t needed, but done for your peace of mind. There has been NO incidents of theft at this cabin.
HEAVY SNOWFALL-We have a plowing service for the driveway only. This is plowed after 5" of snow. Keep in mind, when booking the cabin, there is no onsite maintenance staff to shovel the front steps of the cabin as well as the access to the trash bins. Shoveling services for the back deck is not included for our guests. We provide a shovel and broom so guests can manage the snow themselves. If a guest is unwilling to assist with keeping paths clear/safe, please make this known to the host so she can hire a service on the behalf of the guest. This cost is the responsibility of the guest. Typically $40 per visit. DO NOT RESERVE THIIS CABIN IF YOU ARE NOT COMFORTABLE CLEARING THE PATHWAYS FROM SNOW AND ICE. We suggest you book a hotel or condo where these services are usually included.
