Ski In Ski Out, Chef's Kitchen, Gore Creek in Backyard, Mansion Beneath Cascade Lift (299403)

Welcome to the Cascades Chalet, presented by Mountain Vacation Lodging. Available for rental beginning in December 2022, this large home is an architectural gem with an incredible setting and location that is considered ski in ski out. The Cascades chairlift glides over and past the heated driveway on its way up the ski mountain. Gore Creek flows right past the back yard, which is a private wooded oasis with terraced deck and patio areas and multiple water features to complement Gore Creek itself. The home itself is offers a plentiful supply of space for you and your group, whether you are ready to gather everyone together or need to find some quiet space for a bit. The Cascades Chalet features 5 bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms, 2 living rooms, a kitchen plus a kitchenette, a wet bar off the dining room, and a private office. 30 foot high ceilings create great acoustics and a very spacious feel in the living and dining rooms. The kitchen has professional quality appliances, solid stone counters, plenty of cabinet space, as well as a secondary dining table and access to the deck. The primary bedroom suite is massive while the other 3 bedroom bedroom suites feature beautiful, thoughtful, and recent renovations to their private bathrooms.The location is great in winter or any season. In spring summer, or fall, you can easily walk or bike to the Gore Creek trail for non-motorized access into Lionshead and Vail Village. In winter, ski in ski out access is possible with a short walk. Total distance between your door and the Cascade Way ski trail is about 250 meters. Start with 53 foot steps up the heated driveway, then 85 foot steps from the driveway to a gate which is designed to block cars from making this road a short cut, but the gate does allow people to walk or ski past. Conditions permitting, you can put on your skis here and ski down the gentle grade along the road, a distance of about 175 meters from the gate down to the groomed "Cascade Way" ski trail, which leads across the creek and directly to the Cascades Chair loading area. (In the summer, this is where you pick up the Gore Creek Trail.) To ski home, follow the "Simba" ski trail to "Cascade Way". As you ski down and see Gore Creek, simply veer left off the groomed ski trail to "cut the corner." Doing this will allow you to ski either right back to the home, or within 100 meters of it. You'll see ski tracks from other people doing the same thing. If you don't "cut the corner," don't worry! Remember, it's only about 250 meters from the ski trail back to your door! **Please note, this is a Pet Free home. Service Animals and Pets are not allowed.
